Call of Duty at the time was brilliant. It took what Medal of Honor did and put the intensity to 11. It was great.
You might like 2nd and the 4th better but their exactly the same as the first. All the problems that are associated with the first Call of Duty, can be compared to the rest of them.
Again....how can you say that BF2 was the most innovating shooter when its the same gameplay as BF1942, but modernized and added a better squad mechanic. Hardly that more inflentual than the first.
Call of Duty games (I'm lumping MoH into it because its roughly the same) are entirely different experiences online than BF1942. Call of Duty are pure arcade shooters while BF1942 is a strategic shooter with an RTS type vibe. Each one is not better than the other because their not comparable in terms of online.
I meant the Call of Duty series, when I said Call of Duty, when I was referring to its linear gameplay. And they’re not all identical. Sure they all practically have the same type of linear gameplay structure most FPS’s have but more importantly they do have added and distinguished features in the game that may make it a better and different, or non-identical, game.
And CoD1 may've been brilliant “at the time” but I don't think i'll be able to withstand or tolerate another CoD game. CoD5'll take place in WWII, again, and treyarch's making it, and the made CoD3 which i hated. And i dunno about CoD putting MoH(aa)’s intensity to 11. I’d say CoD was 2 times better than MoH. Or twice what MoH was. I’d say that CoD was the MoA of it’s time. CoD, with MoH’s influence, ushered in a new era in FPS’s.
And there’s a stark difference in between BF’42 and BF2 online. BF2 features a completely different interface and newer gameplay additions the likes I’ve never seen.
And CoD style games my not be comparable to BF style games to you (even though, at their core, they’re both FPS more than anything else.) but I’m equally into both styles (strategy (BF) and tactic (CoD)) types of gameplay, give or take a few things, so I compare them, rightfully.
