Next Call of Duty Wishlist

I've read that they are developing two CoD games for release this year.
The first will be your traditional FPS and the second, "an action/adventure".
Perhaps they are going to create a campaign game and then a solely multi-player experience? Or perhaps a strategy like game like Halo Wars.

Here's my wishlist for 2011:

1) New Zombie Maps - at least 10 of them. I hope this isn't an afterthought. Many people enjoy this even more so than the normal modes. Plus, add killstreak like awards, i.e - shoot down from a helicopter ect. This would add a different dynamic to the experience.
2) Special Ops - Blops missed this I feel. We need juggernauts in 2011.
3) Raise the bar in multiplayer and bring it into a new era - huge maps resembling real life battles such as D-Day. They could beef things up by having 50 players coming on the boats and 50 players on the beaches. Chaotic!

Add yours.

The zombie thing seems to be treyarchs co-op mode, not sure if we'll see them return in MW3.

Likewise Spec Ops is IW Co-op gamemode so it'll probably be back.

With your 3rd point, its been done before (MoH + Return to castle wolfenstien did it years ago... in fairness they both did it ****ing amazingly well)

RTCW was the first online FPS i played with beach being the first map.... yes... it ****ing rocked !!!!

Cant see it working with a MW title tho, sort of needs to have the old guns etc.





I'd like to see stopping power back, it doesnt really speed the game up, just makes those "HOLY ****" moments happen more. Noobtubes etc like they are in blops and brighter maps. Would also like to see snipers return to being decent again and killstreaks tone down a lot.

All I want is an updated COD4, with no BS gimics like RC Cars.

More Maps like Invasion.

I would like more Street Maps with Glass windows, a more real world setting.
I also think being able to Open and close Doors would make it more realistic.

MW2 was/is a great game so I wouldn't be too peeved if they fixed the problems and added a few things along with new Maps.

In essence as I mentioned a few billion times by this stage is an updated COD4 gameplay with MW2 visuals(we can tick that off if you believe the rumours re: using the MW2 engine) and BOPS additional features + online support.

I want that COD4 element returned which is running and gunning dominating. The pace of COD4 is something completely different to MW2 and now BOPS, it was something to behold when COD4 was THE game to play.

That is the main thing along with actual online support that Treyarch has provided with Black Ops.

Anywhoo, wishlist in full-

• Stopping Power needs to be re-introduced to fend off to ridiculous amount of ghost users
  
  Options in regards to perk set ups need to be brought back, there should be minimum 3 perks in every slot that people should consider. Look at COD4, there was variety!

• Remove Last Stand/Second Chance and no martyrdom. I think if there needs to be a balance to stopping power, re-introduce juggernaut BUT it juggernaut should not affect snipers.

• Introduce a Pure option to every gametype with more points on the line, it would help encourage people to play that and not to live and breath for the precious killstreaks.

• Next point is something a lot of people here will disagree with I imagine but so be it. Cut down the amount of artillery killstreaks. By that I mean no gunship, no ac130, no chopper gunner and no poodles. Reduce that temptation to camp for killstreaks! Make Blackbird the highest killstreak at 15 or something. It's usually game over if there are one or two people in a game throwing one up. This won't happen I know so MW2 fanboys rejoice
  
  Following on from that, no stupid killstreaks(Valkyrie missiles) and no stupid killstreak placements(RC a 3 killstreak and EMP at 15 o_o)
  
  In a perfect world for me it'd be - UAC, Counter UAV, Sentry Gun, Predators(higher than 5 kills) Attack chopper, Pavelow(10+ killstreak) and Blackbird that lasts a little longer than in BOPS at say 15.
  
  Lastly, continue with non-stackable killstreaks.

• Shotguns if to be primary weapons should be as powerful as it is in MW2. If they are to be a secondary weapon again then it needs to be as powerful as in COD4.

• No few guns should dominate an entire game for whatever it's lifespan by that I mean the likes of the UMP, ACR, Famas, AK74u and Famas.. I can probably throw in the galill in there as well.

• COD4 sniping. It's hard to describe but it feels like it's in between the simpleton sniping of MW2 and ridiculous difficulty of BOPS.
  
  Also snipers, from the sternum upwards should be one shot kills.

• Specs Ops, Dead Ops type game and Wager Matches please, at least 2 out of the 3 would be a nice touch.

• Combat record, copy Treyarch

• Theater mode, copy Treyarch

• ONLINE SUPPORT, for the love of Jebus copy Treyarch!

So yeah, as I said in my first paragraph
If I have somehow missed anything, I'll add it in later. I don't I have.

Agree with nearly all of that bar the bits in bold, artillery killstreaks add a challenge, its the main reason Blops is as dull as ditchwater to play now, one enemy air support at a time just isnt a threat, chopper gunner? pfff two(sometimes just one) strela shots and down it goes before its even got a kill or arrived on the map fully. make it so more than one air support can be called in, one of each type so you can at least have a chopper gunner and attack chopper up at the same time.

Everything else such as combat record, non stackable killstreaks (it should have a playlist where they do stack as well, but much less XP for them, make you earn it)

A crysis 2 system where you need to pick up a scavenger like pack of the person you kill in order to add to your killstreak which would reduce camping massively as you would need to run out of your corner/ off your rooftop etc to build killstreaks. Maybe combine that with objective play. For example you cap a flag, plant defuse a bomb this would give you a pack to pick up or a half pack you get the idea. There needs to be less focus of just killing every one and more a move towards team play. I think homefront has this sort of idea where you get points for capping flags, Taking out airsupport etc which allows you to buy killstreaks.


This will never happen but remove K/D ratio from the game


Also have a proper counter for ninja eg Sit rep Pro allows you to hear people with ninja. Ninja is too dominant in the 3rd perk slot in MW2

You and me have very different ideologies when it comes to COD games (BOPS vs MW2) mate. For me, a challenge is performing well with lesser guns(hence why I try and push/hope people gravitate towards using stuff like the F2000, MAC, Uzi and so on like I do). I also think playing Pure TDM or Prestige TDM for example and getting a good score is a challenge.

Unless your playing vs a clan in a pub match the game is rarely a challenge, IMO.

If I'm genuinely outplayed like in say Pure TDM I have no quarrels unless someone is doing nothing but camp which is rare in Pure mode I found.

Don't get me wrong, getting an AC130 and raining down hell is fun. That's not in question. I just rather it was more gun on gun, you're dead that is what I get a kick from namely.

I wholeheartedly believe COD4 got it right pretty much with the 3-5-7 system... though if I had my way it would have been 3-5-11 or 3-6-13, something like that :pac: Choppers in COD4 as I'm sure you know by now are basically Pavelows and without the use of Strellas or Stingers were annoying to take down if up against one. Customisable killstreaks are another thing that IMO derailed the COD series, part of me wants it entirely back to COD4 or if it's customisable, keep stuff like UAC, counter UAV, predator, attack chopper, stealth bomber, SR71, EMP, death machine(should have been a killstreak than crappy valkyrie's and pavelows. That's more than fine. If there is to be a deadly killstreak, make the AC130 much harder to earn.

I agree with the last part. Actually looking back, I can't believe I didn't mention this. I'm fairly sure I originally had that down but deleted it or something In my mind, Pure gametypes should have increased XP for sure.

Something else I want to add to my list, is the ability to roll your killstreaks. I don't want to have a set pattern of having to go from highest to lowest.

I agree COD4 had a good system of having everyone with the same killstreaks, 3-5-7 or 5-7-11 without stacking would be a good system.

Changeable killstreaks by class would be good, at least if you're getting an asskicking you can change to 3-4-5 to at least give yourself a chance to regain some ground.

I agree about using a bigger variety of guns, I like the F2000 or stuff like the RPD or dual Magnums or stuff thats not just ACR's and SCARs all the time,hell i cant remember the last time I got sniped by something that wasnt an Intervention (i'm a Barrett man myself) but at the same time guns are guns, I dont think people should be berated for using "easy"guns, not everyone is getting 2 and 3 kdrs on every match so if someone kills me with an ACR then hey, so be it.

They're going ahead with the Blops engine seeing as IW have been ousted.
We need Crysis style visuals people - after all, this is supposed to be the front-runner of most sold game in the USA. Surely, we can't have the leader of the board leading the way in gaming on an outdated engine nearly 7 years old.

MW2 is still one of the best looking MP games around, its the framerate that makes it. The engine itself is fine, it works, its just the look of Blops isnt anywhere near as interesting as anything in MW2, its the real world locations that make it so.

A great post, I just want to add my thoughts to these points you made.

It mainly has to do with Ghost/Coldblooded, Stopping Power, FlackJacket and how these effect killstreaks.
Currently in MW2 it was extra firepower or Coldblooded. There was a whole perk tier that was rendered fairly much useless due to a lack of a better alternative. Dangerclose was not that usefull unless you were using unfair tactics. Hardline was not worth it. Lightweight was more used for SMGs who did not need SP, but was made infamous due to witches. I think that having extra firepower Vs invisibility Vs minor advantage is a silly option and that a better variety of advantages is required.

Currently, in Black Ops the Tier one slot is a little more balanced yet the two 'best' perks are Ghost and FlakJacket. Both give a certain amount of resistance to Killsteaks. My recommendation would be that a player would have to choose between being offensive or defensive in the one perk tier. Ideally you should have three perks suiting offence on the field and two defence against killsteaks with a nerf to the defensive.

To implement this into Black Ops, you would have:
Ghost:
Bullet Damage multiplier = 0.8
Immune from UAVs and identification on Predators (from your post) but should be less less likely to be shot buy pavelows as opposed to its current full invisibility.
It would promote more hit and run style gameplay as camper would have weak odds against an opponent if not taken by surprise.


FlakJacket:
Bullet Damage multiplier = 0.8
Higher resistance to explosive killsteaks such as Mortar Strikes, Bombers and much more than the game currently has. More Killsteaks should be bomb/explosive based making FlakJacket a better contender against Ghost.
As above.

The remaining perks (scav, hardline and lighweight for example) should have the full 100% damage as they do not have the resistances that the other perks benefit from. This way you do not need to have stopping power in the game, yet you can still maintain the style of choice that it presses over the player and a higher level of variety of perks on the battlefield.

Another thing would be required with the above and it would be the gun types that MW2 gave to Cold Blooded Vs Stopping Power users. Guns should have the 30 damage (low recoil) tier and the 40 damage (high recoil or low clip size) tier reintroduced.

Can't see vid in work but just on the quitting thing. Sometimes 'cos of host issues the lag's so bad the game is unplayable. It's one thing get hammered by better players but when it's a lag issue I think quitting is ok.

Was on the US servers with some mates this weekend and I'm not kidding in one game it literally took the entire mag from my AK47 to put a guy down. He had second chance equipped but it was the final kill and everyone was in bits laughing at the clip. It wasn't down to bad aim ether I really was hitting him
