Call of Duty

Well... it was bound to happen. Call of Duty. Call. of FUCKING Duty. The SINGLE worst thing to happen to the world of video games, since Deus Ex: Invisible War.
Now let me start off by saying. Call of Duty isn't that bad a game. As a source for being a game.
It stops there. Every other thing about the game is a bloody reason for me to rage for hours on end.

First let's start with the people. Now you may have seen in a previous blog post. People suck! But the people from Call of Duty's so called "Community" are even worse.
Now I hate to categorise people, because from what I've seen categorisation of people is only done by racists, chavs, bimbos and the media. (I just realise that I have just categorised people that categorise so I guess that I fall under the media section).
These people go as follows.

  1. Kids - People under the age of 13 or have the mental age of someone under 13 (Excluding child geniuses) That frequently spam mic chat, annoy you and make you wonder what kind of parent would by a game where you can literally impale someone's face with an axe. (There's an 18 rating for a reason)
  2. Pros/Elitists - You usually get the first sort on any and every game, people that are nigh-on perfect at the game, scoring 100/1 K/D, knowing all the maps like the back of their hand and not letting you be five seconds into the game without killing you again. Then you get the second sort, people that aren't usually that good, yet yell at their entire team for doing badly, when it's usually them that are doing worst.
  3. Chavs - From my experience, nearly every person that I have seen in my area that greats people by saying "OI BRUV!", wears the waistband of their jogging bottoms around their knees and tends to walk with a bopping motion. These people piss me off the most, they tend to be like the elitists of real life. Apparently if you play any game other than Call of Duty, then you are sad. And if you haven't reached Prestige "X" and don't play religiously, then you are inferior or shite at the game. I have lived in England too long to even consider these sort of people "People".
  4. Fanboys - Usually comprise of all 3 of the above. These people will literally throw their lives away at the game, and defend the game's franchise and the people who make or publish it to the ends of the Earth, I usually treat these people in the same way I do Religious Fundamentalists. Saying what they do is bull-shit, disprove their arguement by literally steamrolling what they have come to worship and then slam my door in their face. Damn JeCodvah's Witnesses. -_-
Then you have the fact that a Call of Duty game is released annually, hell sometimes a new CoD game is announced mere months after the previous one was brought out. So all the things you did in the past CoD game doesn't count for shit.
Now this may be just me, but I like growing up my account in a game, and I love keeping the account saying "Hey, I've gotten to "X" level with "X" achievements." I feel fulfilled by doing so, and hence that keeps me playing. This is why I don't play any other MOBA game than League of Legends, this is why I only play one MMO at any one time, this is why I spend BIG chuncks of time on one toon rather than jumping from character to character.

It seems that this is what Call of Duty players see in it.
Mindless Zombie 1: "HAI GUYZ! I GOT FINAL LEVEL OV 10TH PRESTIGE!!111!!oneone!!!1"
Mindless Zombie 2: "LOOOOL NOOOB! THAT OLD GAME! I GOT THAT IN NEW GAME JUST NOW!"
Mindless Zombie 3: "LOOL! UR ALL TOOAL NOOOOBS! I GOT THAT ONE FIRST DAY IN NEW GAME AND I HAVE EVERY TROPHY ON PSN AND ALL 1000 GAMERSCORE ON XBOX!"
Mindless Zombie 4: "BOOBIES!"
Mindless Zombie 5: "MAP PACK COMING OUT TOMORROW! JIZZZZ TAKE MAH MONEHZ!"
Normal Person 1: "I don't know why you guys are talking like this, I prefer playing Battlefield considering it doesn't release a new game every year and doesn't try to milk it's fanba...."
Mindless Zombies: "NOOOOOOOOB GTFO!"

Every bloody year we get a new one of these things, with 5 map packs each year that all seem to cost a ton, on top of the damn game. What's worse is, as soon as the new game comes out, the players don't even acknowledge the old game. Normally this wouldn't be a problem. However...

This is my BIG MASSIVE FUCKING PROBLEM about Call of Duty games. A new game comes out every year, made by two different companies. So each company has 2 years to come up with a new Call of Duty game. You'd think they would add something game breaking and innovative in this time?
HELL NO! They add new kill-streaks, a few new maps and another shitty, movie-like campaign.

Mindless Zombie 1: "BUT ZAMROS! THESE ARE NEW THINGS!"

NO THEY FUCKING AREN'T! New things are something that is completely new and gamebreaking, when I saw that character customisation was in a Call of Duty game (I can't remember which) I thought, "Hey cool, they're actually adding something kind of new" but that was it apprently.
Call of Duty releases, fundamentally the same god-damn, shite covered, linear, aweful game every goddamn year.

Hell, even the bloody textures and graphics in MW3 are the same as MW2! A game that came out 2 years ago! I thought that Infinity Ward must have a decent art department considering that they are funded by Activision (Fucking) Blizzard. They might do, but they must be the laziest excuse for game artists I ever knew!

Long story short. Don't buy CoD. Let it die.
And to all the people that play Call of Duty:
"Go back to Runescape, you were much less annoying with your doinky swords than your doinky guns!"

P.S.
Dear Santa.

A lot of people ask for material posessions for Christmas.
But I don't.
I just want one thing for Christmas.
One thing that will make the world better for everyone, not just me.
Can you please give anyone that plays Call of Duty religiously and the Infinity Ward offices the gift of a FUCKING BOMB!

All my love:
Zamros....
