Much like when I hear about Call of duty I get a little surprised every time I hear this series is being made still. Not because it’s bad or anything, I really dont know, its just because the series got old and repetitive to me like a decade ago. How do people just keep eating the same regurgitated stuff over and over and still love it so much??

Kids are constantly being made. While it might be your 15th CoD game, it's someone else's 1st

I just want untainted Battlefield 4 with bugfixes.

I don't want any more competitive shooters with no dedicated server published. See this if institutional memory doesn't go that far, Dice fuckers: https://www.eurogamer.net/battlefield-keeping-dedicated-servers

Doesn't Battlefield use dedicated servers though? I don't know of any peer to peer game that handles that many players.

[–] zecg@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Note "published". Yes they use dedicated servers, but I'm not paying for ubishit or ea games that don't offer them for players to self-host.

I only played the original Call of Duty, Battlefield 1942 and Medal of Honor... 😅

There was arguement and reviews that COD 2 had overdone the first person shooter, and we were exhausted of the WW2 repeats.

Whats modern warfare, modern warfare (deliberately repeated), battlefield and Black ops variations up too?

I think the point is its a high turnover game, which is generally considered bad.

Also tons of people don't touch cod or battlefield anymore who used to.
