    I've bought nearly ever COD on release day but I'm not sure if I'll be in any rush to pick up Ghosts this side of Xmas. Maybe the appeal of COD is just starting to wear a bit thin for me and nothing I've seen of it so far has grabbed me at all.

    I'll get it, whenever I get my PS4 (in no rush with that). Battlefield is my priority though, definitely far more interested in that.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 25,734 Mod ✭✭✭✭Boom_Bap


    Not sure if I will. It all depends on how well GTA is working out for me. I've limited game time these days, so GTA is the prefernce.

    Yeah, pre-ordered it on Amazon for the 360 one day when I looking to bump up my basket value to over £25.

    Voted no, highly unlikely I'll buy it unless it somehow bucks the trend and is a game changer.

    The CoD franchise has been gradually getting worse since CoD 4.

    i've always enjoyed COD and i'll certainly buy it.
    i've completed all the SP parts, typically before starting the MP.

    I don't buy a whole load of games, but i've always enjoyed these (i'll prob get AC IV too, perhaps GTA as well)

    Try Battlefield 4.

    CodD and FIFA are literally the only games I have time for these days, so I'll definitely get it. I actually didn't buy Blops 2, so this will be a definite purchase as sick of MW3 at this stage! :P

    Terrible idea Lynx

    These 'Will you be buying?' threads before the annual releases are always made up of the naysayers.

    "Hmm, I really dislike the CoD franchise but I don't know how best to vent this emotion. I know! I'll go to a CoD section on a forum and let the majority in there who enjoy the game know how bad it is and that I won't be buying it"


    Who are we kidding? 90% will end up buying it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 856 ✭✭✭Battleflag


    No, I'll never buy a COD game again
    No, this will be the first year I haven't bought a COD game. It looks better than previous titles with some nice adjustments (I think the sound on this game will be great) but I'm just not that interested in COD anymore. Think I have outgrown it, I've played my fair share of it but it's time to move on.

    i've had all the Modern Warfare titles and Blops 1+2. Only ever liked Modern Warfare 2+3 (2 being the best in my opinion). Only get them for multiplayer. After watching the trailer for ghosts, it just didn't jump out at me, looks same all gameplay, the textures and resolution seemed to be worse than any previous release, found it hard to believe i was watching 720p.

    From the multi-player previews so far, it seems that quickscoping is a thing of the past, thank God.

    Making snipers even more underpowered?

    Not sure if ill be getting this, battlefield 4 looks amazing and I won't be buying 2 shooters.

    Think I'll make the jump to BF4 and get Ghosts in the new year, unless it shockingly turns out to be actually really good. I'm sure it'll have the same level of bullsh1t to put up with every COD game has, some of the new modes look interesting though especially Cranked. and the destructible bits are kinda cool, even if BF did them first.

    Turned on the Xbox today for the first time in about two weeks, saw the giant ad for the multiplayer reveal and had no desire whatsoever in checking it out.

    Of course it doesn't help that since my move to the sticks in March my internet is barely one mb down now, but even when I was living in town with my 100mb UPC I was playing very little BLOPS2.

    I don't hate COD, some of my best memories of the 360 are associated with it, but after so many days sunk into it and the continuous yearly releases I'm just completely dis-interested.

    Ghosts will be a day one purchase for me and I'll buy the PS4 version when it comes out, I just hope they allow you to carry your Multiplayer rank over to the new console.

    Suppose we all were major fans of the series and have just watched it turn to sh1te over the last few releases.

    BLOPS 2 was the one that broke my camels back:pac:

    I think I enjoy beating some of the annoying cúnts that play it more than I actually like the game.

    Was playing HC SnD recently and the plebs you come across is crazy!

    Really don't know. I really hated Blops 2. Played some MW3 recently and enjoyed it but it was the first time I've played COD (other than a bit of MW2 when drunk) in months. Was hopelessly addicted to MW2 at one point.
    I blame Treyarch

    I only stuck on MW2 and 3 yesterday for some hungover COD playing, 3 is grand, 2 is still a great laugh, the maps are brilliant.

    I have a screw loose when it comes to MW2 and still love it. Anytime I jump into a map I'm undescribably happy. I'd still be playing it but the hacked lobbies thing can be tiresome. The people I play with also go mental when they see me on it as I won't play Blops 2 with them.
    Used play it on really crappy internet. It could be as frustrating as hell but I still remember it fondly.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,823 ✭✭✭DublinArnie


    I stopped playing Call of Duty after Black Ops 1. It's a good game and I would admit I had very good times back in the days, but my game preference has moved on sadly.

    Played it for a few games yesterday and there was only one clown danger close tubing, rest of the players were grand, and yeah I dunno if it's just familiarity or what but I feel way more content playing on a map like Highrise or Afghan than any subsequent game, map wise its the best COD game imo, balance would be COD4 aside from the stupid amount of grenades around the place.

    No offence Mac, but I really don't get how you aren't bored of the games considering it's the only game you play. I adore COD4 and it's my favourite COD game, but I couldn't play it continually like yourself (just going on what I notice people are playing whenever I sign in). I'd need to play other games in between the big sessions of COD.

    People like myself hope that they might surprise us and bring back the good ol days. I'll always have a lot of time for talking about COD, just not playing it the way the series has gone.

    Battlefield <3
    I wont be buying another COD ever again anyway and look very much forward to the Titan fall.

    But getting back to COD, I love the series so much but they have truly ruined the series for me, COD4 was the defining game of the series and still has a large amount of pc gamers to this day. I would love to see them go back to their roots with a WW2 shooter and take the futuristic crap out of the game. The game today is catered to kids tbh (which is ironic since its an 18 cert game). Since MW3 it has been the same rehash of crap over and over again. I truly miss playing the COD series tbh. I do play ops 1 but that is just because of Nuketown and that game is barely played these days and all the good players are gone.

    My dream would be an update to COD4

    Of course I'll buy it on Day one. I bought Call of Sniper Black Ops 2 on day one, just like all the other COD games. I can't wait to play it on the Xbox one, maybe it will be the free game you get with the console, although it looks like it will be FIFA 14, which I have absolutely no interest in. Oops, I've said too much.

    I'll buy Battlefield as well and only play it for a few weeks as I run around like a headless chicken and get my head blown off left right and centre. I'm pretty good at BO2 but useless at BF, strange, (no, I don't use a sniper rifle in BO2).

    That's only an expression Nuri, I'm a real tem player, normally. My friends try an encourage me to play BF. It does look absolutely beautiful and plays very well.

    By the way, the game I'm most excited about is TitanFall, I hope it's as good as it looks!

    Fair enough. You really should like BF if you're into team work and winning, and instead of earning killstreaks, you are the killstreak :) BF4 looks ridiculously good.

    Titanfall does not nothing for me honestly, never been really into the futuristic/space and alien related first person games like Halo. I'm sure it'll play well though.

    If you're playing large games it'll make a big difference, like Ground War. If you just play league or small 4v4/3v3 games you won't notice it at all.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,366 ✭✭✭✭Kylo Ren


    I skipped BO2 because of how big a piece of **** MW3 was. Truely shocking just how bad it was.

    I have totally kicked the CoD habit now and get my fps fix from BF3.

    That being said, CoD 4 remains one of my favourite game of all time and the best multiplayer experience I've had to date.
