I have some tips if this game is pissing you off. Smoke weed first. Then play.

I don't think even the most perfect potential COD could generate my interest back in the franchise. A good game for me would surround: - Black Ops inspired maps with differing sizes and terrain - Pick 10 from Black Ops 2 - Scorestreaks that emphasize objective play as opposed to kills - A wealth or scorestreaks either in strike packages or from a wall where you can choose between support and assault - Proper scenery destruction and not lampposts falling over and doors blowing off hinges - Score limit modes as opposed to time-limit based games - Search and Destroy with alternating rounds as Euan mentioned - Better presentation in terms of visuals, the HUD and the menu - A decent and memorable campaign and not one-dimensional characters in a piss-poor story that lasts 4 hours - A detailed theater mode with direct upload to YouTube available - A combat record to the tune of Black Ops 2 and not some shitty barracks bollocks - Gimme fucking Headquarters again you wankstains - No French people

I understand wanting things to be like the 'glory days', but that didn't stop me from not playing Black Ops. No reason for a game to get someone so pissed off. Absolutely, no reason. I stopped playing. And to this day think it was the crappiest CoD to date. The thing we can look forward to in CoD is there will always be another one next year. But now I have this mind set especially since MW3, I don't give a fuck. I don't care if my K/D is .01, I just don't care. I'm not as good as I was, I don't take the game as seriously as others and I just don't think it's worth getting pissed off about, especially if people are getting pissed off with real life happenings. No way in hell should we let a game piss us off on top of the bullshit we deal with at work or home. That's exactly what was happening with me, dealing with the death of my grandmother and playing a game that was utter shit. Not a good combo. So what did I do? I waited 'til MW3 and played other games until then. Since I've lightened up while playing CoD, it's easier to play without wanting to rage quit. I know some of you guys break controllers when you're pissed off... Just how? That's sad in my eyes that people have $50 to waste over a game. That just should NOT happen and it completely wows me. And Brede, I'm struggling to find where someone said that you can't complain in the complaint thread? I see a lot of people complaining that there is complaining littered all over the forum, when it should indeed just be in the complaint thread. Right? Perhaps, i'm missing something. Anyways, my whole point in this post is to turn the game off before you get too pissed off, or just plain lighten up. I'm not telling anyone to not play the game, although if it's causing so much stress, then I would advise that not playing it would be the best route since it helped me.

Ok it's not the best thread title but I'm tired and I've been asleep for 3 hours. New game. You've been asked to make the next COD, Frankencod. The game is entirely made up of any parts of any previous COD from Modern Warfare to Ghosts. You have to decide on perks to choose from, the perk system, score system, killstreaks, maps, guns and anything else you want to include Go. If this is a shit idea then I don't care because I'm tired and I can't be a genius all the time. Rule change, you can include ideas from other games. Go.

What has made the series stale for me apart from the in-game issues is just the 'in you face' aggressive promotion and marketing strategy that Activision have adopted along with the substantial media interest and with gamers alike. The annual release has taken its toll but the way the timeframe works in terms of playing the latest game and a few months later being swarmed with the build-up to the next title; I just feel you can't escape the franchise. The DLC packets help keep players engaged but I just find the process a bit desperate now and it doesn't seem to grab me any more. I loved Black Ops 2 but I followed the development so closely and the leaks that when the game arrived; I felt like I had been playing it for months already and that I'd seen it all before. The game was fresh, innovative and original for a COD but it was marketed too strongly in my opinion. I'd love them just to have a break and spend a little longer developing a new game. I know it would cost Activision hundreds of millions in profits but just escaping the franchise and having a cooling period could generate a gradual interest over time to reach high anticipation. The franchise will have a bit of extra time to get into the growing generation and gamers will have a bit of peace to recuperate.

Rule change, include whatever you want. Give me MW2 maps. BO2 score system. BF4 incredible choice of guns. No killstreaks, you earn more perks like Specialist. No ieds, no claymore, no betties, no shock charges. No optics except for red dot sights. No silencers.

I don't think it's the game itself that I've grown tired of, it's the community. I don't think that is fixable. I don't think that we will ever go back to the glory days of CoD. I think it has already peaked. I think a new game could re-kindle that feeling, but I don't think it will be CoD that does it. You guys have all had some great ideas, but it would still be the same douche bags playing the game. .02

This was the only one I was noticing, really confused me.

This is a 3D background I just finished for the local cichlid club I am a part of for one of their auction's this weekend. Biggest hurdle with a 55g 3D background is that you only have 12" front to back depth so you don't want to cut that room down much more than you have too. So I got around that issue by making this one as thin as I could and just cut deeper into the foam as well as doing a bit darker shading in the crevices to give it the illusion of even more depth than it actually is. Worked out well as it has a nice 3D look to it yet 75% of it only takes 1" depth and the other 25% only takes 2" of tank depth. I also wanted to make it so the winner was not stuck with only being able to use a certain type of filter, such as a canister, because not everyone uses canisters. So the upper right 15" or so is rounded and thinner depth than the the rest so that a HOB filter such as a bio-wheel style can fit right over the background without any headaches.

Give me battlefield 4 ..... Lol

This was what I was thinking this just the other day I'm unemployed right now, sucks having to come up with reasons why you want a crap job. "Hello, manager at McDonalds. To be surrounded by food preparation machines and making fast food for tons of people all day long has been a life long dream of mine. I love the overwhelming smell of cheeseburgers and fries while working in a stressful conditions with rude customers. Especially when crappy pop music in being played in the background. Please consider my application, best regards" I need the money, end of story!

My FrankenCOD... Put a fair bit if thought into this... Maps: . Stormfront - Ghosts . Cargo - BO2 . Standoff - BO2 . Hydro - BO2 . Underground - MW3 . Array - BO . Summit - BO . WMD - BO . firing range - BO . Wasteland - MW2 . Underpass - MW2 . Sub Base - MW2 . Estate - MW2 . Derail - MW2 . Vegas Junkyard - Rainbow Six Vegas 2 (not COD but I just had to have it!) Wow that was hard, when I got to the MW2 maps I just wanted to pick them all! Guns: just some memorable guns I would love to see again... FAMAS - MW2 my favourite gun in any shooter ever! RPD - MW2 F2000 - MW2 AUG - BO FN FAL - BO FAD - MW3 MSMC - BO2 PPM901 - MW3 Aks74u - BO Intervention - MW2 Desert Eagle - MW3 M93 Raffica - MW2 G11 - BO Barrett .50 - MW2 G36c - MW3 Commando - BO Chicom CQB - BO2 .BO2 Create a Class .Perks from every cod, they all have a purpose for something and someone, so why not? .Ghosts squad points unlock system .BO2 style scorestreaks .Mw3 style specialist, with set score points not kills .Assault and support streaks UAV or equivalent to be a higher points total than previous titles, to try and ease the UAV spam and the need for ghost/assassin type perks... .Ghosts excellent connection . Even more character customisation, more like RSV2, pointless for gameplay but it's just nice to create a character and unlock a lot of things... I love the idea of nukes but I don't think I can include it because I think it's a big incentive to camp hard...

I love how the ps4 just automatically downloads this as soon as you turn it on. Thank you Sony <3

Spot on! All you fuckers take up smoking!

Warzone from the Killzone series!

You could always put them on DVD's too, as an additional back up that you have at your house. I'm a big fan of having my stuff in my hand at home. Call me crazy.

Someone said that they don't understand why the same things are said over and over again in this thread, but quite frankly that's what it's for. If I don't want to read negative posts, then I won't come here. I only read the thread because bees posted and I like reading what he has to say, plus I had some free time to read. Anyways, as long as the same things don't get spilled out into every other thread, I don't care.

[hr[ Been feeling a bit melancholic lately, as you can probably tell from these last few songs.

Definitely some reward for playing the objective, not sure how it would work with only support streaks. I like the idea of changeable weather/day to night. No quick scoping .... Only bolt action snipers. proper stat tracking. No ghost/assassin maybe even no UAV/sat com for the purpose of balance. Some seriously different map sizes, styles to hopefully make gun choice more meaningful.

I will ban your ass.

No douchebags. Here is my solution to get rid of them, lol Only Support Killstreaks is a great idea. No, "no skill" anything. Meaning everything must have some kind of counter, even if its a skill avoiding said tactic. Example - the ability to go prone to avoid bouncing betties. Another example - crouch walking to make no noise and counter Amplify. No rewarding bad players. Rewards are for doing well, not doing poorly. Weapons that get better the longer you use them. Maybe the recoil gets better, or you get faster at reloading with them. I am thinking RPG elements here. This last part could totally do away with Perks. If you want the perks, you level up your character to get better at what you want. Sort of like Skyrim.

The knife, I completely forgot. To knife you have to use a directional button to take your knife out before you can use it. And when you do that a voice yells at you calling you a knifing piece of shit. No offence Tam.

So after a huge pain in the ass of a download on Friday, and a busy Saturday, I got about 6 hours to play on Sunday. It's not as much as I'd have liked but I feel like I still got a pretty good idea of what the game was like. I spent the vast majority of the time as a Khajiit Nightblade. So after a short intro you are brought into character creation. I loved it. If you're an Altoholic like me (or at least like the character creation process), then you'll be pleased. The races all looked pretty good and there were a huge number of customization options, from the angle of your forehead to the size of your hands. I spent a decent time going through all the options and decided it's among the best character creations I've seen in an MMO (And I've played my fair share). I also took this opportunity to look at the higher level gear and was once again pleased. Each race had high-end gear that reflected their personality whilst being consistent with Elder Scrolls Lore. It should be noted that some of the low level gear (particularly the medium armour) didn't look great, though I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem for long. After character creation you are brought into this weird soul prison. You meet 'The Prophet' who gives you information about why you are there and what you must do. I won't go into details about the story so far but as Sennex said he basically tells you that you're special. The prison is a tutorial level and it was pretty boring. It was dark so didn't show off the graphics and the lack of skills at this point meant combat was pretty boring (I'll go into that later). It takes about 10 minutes to go through the tutorial depending on how much you look for loot, so this could be a bit annoying when starting several new characters. When I finished the tutorial I found myself in a small camp (the starting area for the Khajiit, Bosmer and Altmer races). This was the first time I got to see how beautiful the game really was. I was highly impressed with the looks of the game as a whole and can tell I'll spend a lot of time just exploring the world of Tamriel. Before I would have said that Guild Wars 2 was the best looking MMO I've played, but The Elder Scrolls Online is definitely a new contender. I was approached by a khajiit who set me off on my first chain of quests. The quests in the starting are were also impressive, there was no "Go to Quest Giver, Kill 8 Wild Boars and Wolves for meat, return to Quest Giver, recieve 200 gold". I had an instance where I was running up from the shore when a woman ran to me for help. I had to run through some ruins and free her master from an evil spirit. It seems a lot more inspired in that aspect. Whilst I've made the game sound pretty good so far, I do have one main concern. The combat. It neither had the complexity of other MMO's such as WoW or the fluidity of single player games like Skyrim. I think I had 5 abilities as well as a regular and heavy attack. There was also a limited amount of abilities to unlock, around 6 for the three skill trees as well as a few for armour, weapons and races.I was able to link up some abilities well however. I could use the 2 second stealth, followed up by a heavy damaging backstab with bleed. Then crippling the enemy as they try to escape. The combat was sometimes laggy with an enemy taking a few seconds to fall after I killed it, thus causing confusion as to what exactly was happening. I never tried out PvP which I regret, since I'd like to have seen how multiple classes could link up together. Overall I think the game is more suited for a casual MMO player, with it's strong points being on looks and story rather than the gameplay itself. Whilst I'll be picking it up, with the looks, story and exploration greatly interesting me, the boring combat may mean I'll put it down sooner than expected.

I apologize now to Brede and anyone else that is here bashing this game. GET THE FUCK OVER IT!!! If you don't like, stop fucking playing it. Trade it in and get something else. The game has been out for well over 2 months now and you are still complaining about the same fucking things/ It's getting real old. I play this game and quite frankly, I'm having a blast playing it. Are there issues? Certainly but there have been issues with every COD, YES, every COD. Get over it. One thing that I have learned as I continue to enjoy playing this series, is that there is a learning curve for each game. Quite honestly, with all the bullshit that is in the game (spawns, IEDs, maps too large, re-skinned map, etc, etc etc) this is by far the easiest CoD to date. Fuck Campers, quick scopers and all the fucking douche bags that play this game. If you get in a lobby and you get destroyed by a bunch of campers, find a new lobby. Don't stay and aggravate yourself. Better yet turn the game off. So once again, I apologize but I'm just tired of reading all the bitching and moaning. By the way, you run into bullshit no matter what game you play. It's just the nature of gaming. Funny how you never hear the pros bitching about this stuff. And if they have I'll shut the fuck up.

This place is getting a tad dirty ^^^^
