I skipped everything after MW3 & bought that because my friends hounded me & promised it was allegedly so much different than the others. The titanfall mechanics weren't that much of a change in my eyes & I swore I'd never fall for anything like it again. Still they were happy I played with them for a while so I guess that counts for something.
Last one I bought was the original MW3, picked up 2019 and got into Warzone but that shit's also fallen off a cliff so I'm probably done with it forever now.
Black Ops 2 is my head cannon ending to the COD series until it was revivers with the COD 4 MW remaster and Warzone. Everything else in between was just a dream.
whenever i see this game i instantly think of those naggers you see at walmart with the spagetti hair and the socks with flip flops lol. i can almost smell the stale weed smoke from here.
Never started. I was a halo guy and would spend hours online fighting people on message boards about how cod games were for gay people and halo was a mans game.
I wasn't disagreeing, just lamenting that I couldn't enjoy the multiplayer of halo, all my friends did, if it was 2x speed or had very condensed maps I'd probably like it.
i miss that era of halo and cod black ops.
what complete games. they gave us: a singleplayer, a multiplayer, splitscreen, zombies (cod), private games, a theater mode, forge mode (halo), online splitscreen, co op campaign (halo, cod waw had it). all that shit in one game, crazy. all for $60 + tax. with $10 dlc. fuckin' incredible when you think about it.
I think you're forgetting how half-baked the games were on release and how certain features didn't work or straight up crashed the game in quite a few common scenarios (Forge/Theatre mode for Halo) and how Zombies is literally worse and more dead basic than the fucking CoD4 mod it came from. Like, I never understood Zombies >Empty map with 2 basic enemy types >ooooo stay alive xd get the good rare random weapon >fun with friends xd
Literally mobile game-tier time wasting.
I don't know. I was 13-18 during that era. I remember it was kinda buggy. Zombies is just a horde mode. Fighting off waves of enemies. Left 4 Dead, but you're confined to one area. My friends and i liked it. It added to the multiplayer options. I played a lot of zombies.
I played most of the popular games from that era. I also played Minecraft. If i didn't find the game, a friend or friends would and we would play together. I guess i'm open to trying new games. I preferred some games over others, but i liked most of the games from that era that everyone on this board shits on. A lot of people i know played a mix of console and pc games, including me. I don't understand why everyone on here is so gay about it. The Xbox360 was the better console for that gen. The social aspect could not be matched. If you didn't have a 360, it was like being home schooled.
>I don't understand why everyone on here is so gay about it.
Because the 360/PS3 era killed multiplayer videogames and communities as they used to be. You will never understand without experience or context as most of what used to be is now gone, buried or completely destroyed. The 1995-2008 era was insane for custom maps, community servers, MMOs, experimentation, etc. Most of that immediately dried up when consoles became the focus due to publisher greed. >The social aspect could not be matched. If you didn't have a 360, it was like being home schooled.
A lot of console gaymen, even back then was scheduled on IRC, forums, etc. That did require a PC though. >Pay 15$ (1-3$) a month for XBL >A shit service that regularly crapped out, took forever to load basic shit. >Shitty mics >No 'real' community servers just basic P2P shit >Most of the social aspects were provided by the games themselves
I don't think you remember the 360 at all.

I remember games prior to that and you're right. They almost felt dead, like in a good way. I liked everything up to 2012-2013. It's like 2007-2012 was too good. That experience was crazy and ruined it all, like heroin. But it was fun.
You're right, i remember when parties were introduced. I didn't even get my 360 until Halo 3, Cod 4 and all those 2007 games came out. Before that i played PC/PS2.
>Zombies is literally worse and more dead basic than the fucking CoD4 mod it came from.
It was a fun arcade style mode that was fun to play with friends, used to play it at parties, same with halo. The simplicity meant anyone could play it which added to the social aspect. This was at a time when that style was fading away & everything was beginning to be online only & grindy as opposed to arena style pick up & play.
I know it was awesome. I mean back then it actually seemed like games were progressing, every successive game added more & then a shift happened & it’s been on a never ending regression since that happened. Every game added so much shit & the campaigns were good, MW3 being the exception after infinity ward was gutted, didn't play any COD after that but I do know the treyarch games still carried that torch for the BO games at least. If modern games released back then they'd be half price but now they're charging $70 for a fraction of the content & it sells anyway because people are retarded.
It was dope. MW3 was a big drop. I stopped playing after Black Ops 2. It might have also been the fact that it came out my senior year of high school, but something about that game made me depressed.
I think i could tell that the era was coming to an end. 2012-2013 is right when games started to slowly become gay and then gamergate happened. Something about that BO2 campaign just felt like the end. The characters from BO are all old and the game ends in the future, 2025. Something about that future part of BO2 amplified the way i was already feeling and coincided with the culture shift i was noticing. 2011 is when the sjw stuff started to become popular. The final mission in BO2 felt like a funeral. A funeral to the gaming i har once experienced. The games were losing their soul, the culture was changing, and i was graduating high school that year. The game ending in the future just reiterated my feeling that it was over.
All that gaming i did from a young child up to 2012-2013 was over. All those late nights staying up playing all those games with friends was over. I still gamed on pc with my friends sometimes and we had fun, but that era especially 2007-2012, i knew it was over and i was never going to experience anything like that again.
Seemingly random but my funeral moment was dark souls, of all the games right? Me & two other friends got asian imports of demons souls, we had been watching the game since 2007 & we were big armored core fans so we always watch what from software was doing. We loved demons souls, we bought it again when the US version came out we liked it so much. Based off what from said about dark souls we expected it to be demons but bigger & better with even more online features. We told everyone & their grandma to buy the game to play online together on launch. The game released & the online didn't work, like at all, namco bait & switched on the pre order limited edition, we couldn't even download the fucking soundtrack off their site it didn't work for months & we all gave up. Key items were apparently mistranslated so we pissed away key items to reinforce health. We didn't get to play together one fucking time, not once. In demons it was extremely easy to play & duel, the game had a cool lovecraft esque story & characters. All that was gone & when you beat the game nothing happened, no cutscene. Everyone was pissed, nobody trusted our recommendations ever again after that lol. I just remember that was basically the beginning of the end, broken games seemed to the norm & everything else went to shit as you noted.
One funny thing is I beat the game before anyone else & I spoiled the non ending for my friend who was coping hard & he was in total denial lmao he flipped the fuck out when he killed the final boss & lit the bonfire then nothing happened just rolled credits. It was an epic meltdown & a final fuck you to all the hype we had for the game. It was funny seeing people suck the games dick & it becoming a full blown series with all the things we hated that were taken away from demons.

That's hilarious. I didn't play it until between DS1 and DS2. Never played Demon's. The games seemed kinda cool and unique. They were hard and not my friends nor i were used to. Bloodborne was alright. Sekiro was cool. I don't get the hype though. It was interesting when it came out, but it's already sparked clones and it's been over 10 years. I swear people only obsess over it because it's Japanese and difficult. It's strange because Elden Ring seems like the Zoomer era game and it got way more ad space than any past fromsoft game. Dark Souls had been out for 11 years by then and Demon's had been out for 13. I still don't think most people know about it. I honestly only knew that From had made Armored Core because of a Playstation magazine demo disc, i didn't know it at the time i played it. Several years ago i googled fromsoft and realized they made that series.
After Ghosts but really it was the decision to make CoD Battle.net only on Pc which made me drop the series.
I would get older games on sale on steam but can't be bothered anymore, just watch them on youtube instead.
everyone and their mother bought mw19, most of them after warzone came out. how did they fuck up the entire cod name so badly after that fucking gift from the gods
i really thought they were gonna revive cod. feels like a dream. i don't even remember seeing ads. one day i just realized warzone and mw remaster were a thing.
I played everything. Halo, CoD, and Battlefield. I bought Halo 4 and played it, but i knew the series was over. When i played MW3 and Black Ops 2, i knew the series was over. I liked Bad Company, at Bad Company 2, i didn't realize Battlefield wasn't that popular. I played with friends who had only ever played CoD. They kept getting annoyed and wanted to play cod instead. At Battlefield 4 i lost interest. I bought Hardline and liked the concept, it was fun, but i knew it had strayed too far from pc ones and too far from the console era.
Bad Company 2 is what mainly brought the console guys to Battlefield. Bad Company would have been a one off. Bad Company was good and it was different from Bad Company 2. Bad Company 2 was like everyone on console is also playing this game. Bad Company was a lot slower paced and quiet. It just wasn't as popular. I didn't realize that at the time.
>i didn't realize Battlefield wasn't that popular.
In a way I think that preserved it for a time, once bf3 dropped & was played by dudebros I knew who only ever played cod & nba 2k I figured the series would get watered down & pimped out. I loved bad company, fun campaign, never played 2 though.
Bad Company 1 did a lot of good for the series and a swell job spreading the word. Bad Company 2 was quietly hyped until it snowballed in a phenomenon.
What sucked is that I did play BF2 so when Dice announced BF3 I was genuinely excited but then it was BC3 but without all the charm, so it was not REAL Battlefield. Dice themselves expressed BC2 was lightning in a bottle. The series never felt that good ever since, I mean BF3 and 4 are good in relative terms but then EA fixated their gaze on Dice the same way they did with Bioware and Maxis too, after that, well you know the story.
I was hoping for that return in BF3 as well. I didn't 100% realize what was going to happen. I later realized that the pre cod fps era even on pc was dead. I know when MW2 came out in 2009 it was too massive. I had no idea that would kill the other games though. Large fps games just weren't the same. There's something about the console that just neutered them. The way pc operated lended itself well to different types of gameplay.
This one seemed pretty alright based on the playtest. The remasters of old maps seemed pretty high effort and they abandoned the unpopular Latin America theme from MW2022. The campaign seems like a massive ripoff, but I suspect the majority of people do not buy these for the campaign.
>play in a lobby with the mandatory 13 year old using the nicky skin because he thought it was funny >he ended up carrying the match >even outing the streamer, the 30 year olds and the usual COD dudes >next match >black guy >did not say nigga once >hated rap music >positive k/d and did the objectives
Expectations were subverted.
I stopped after MWII 2009 because it was an unintentionally kino game.
Got to try every game after that without spending a dime and they were all just the same but worse.
Black Ops was bland, sure the story on paper is good but the gameplay is terrible. MW3 2011 might be underrated because I can think of 3 cool spectacle missions. Cold War was fun to watch on youtube, Treyarch really wants to do anything but tacticool military bullshit.
I got back into the series sadly with this turd and it is odd, it is not as pozzed as I would had expected and the game finds a pacing at the very end but it is just so barebones as a game it made me appreciate MGSV. I mean imagine playing a game so bad you can remember MGSV fondly, and that game was mostly filler but that is how you do a sandbox shooter.
MGSV without all the padding (waiting to develop weapons, gathering materials and repeating missions at least trice) would be almost perfect and I wanted to replay it after finishing MWIII but then I remembered the unskippable intro.
Oh yeah MWIII sucks ass but I am here for the MP anyways, it is just disappointing to know Activision is not even trying anymore. The cutscenes are butt slapping gorgeous, I mean the story is moronic and I cannot believe they hired 6 writers plus 3 diversity consultants for this crap and you end up with female characters that do fuck all and have minimal contribution and villains that do spread their evil plots and explain them out loud in the open ignoring the obvious drone in the cutscene, but it does have a cinematic feel in a good sense. It was like watching a burger movie with all the negatives that implies but very life like, I was impressed.
After mw2019
Liked the game but the maps were shit and the playerbase was too sweaty
Even going back to older cods, they're not tryharding as much (even bo4 which came out before mw2019)
The sbmm ruined cod for me and I'm not buying one ever again
Black Ops 1 is the last time I was excited for a CoD game and the last time I bought one new.
People have gifted me a few of them over the years though, had a bit of fun with Black Ops 3, and WW2 was alright. Never really gave a fuck about Modern Warfare 2019 and Warzone
I bought CoD4, MW2, Black ops, and then impulsively bought Advanced Warfare when that came out and it was actually very fun on PC. I think I downloaded Warzone but got a crash on launch that at the time was unfixable, some people were just shit out of luck so I uninstalled it and never tried again. CoD4 was the most fun I had with the series. MW2 would have been but they just completely fucked up post launch patches. I hated Black Ops 2 and forward so only played them at other people's houses.
MWII and MW 2019, didn't buy Vanguard though and Cold War I got for free from a kind friend who wanted to play zombies with me. MWIII Beta was absolute dogshit which I expected from SH so not even gonna bother with it even on sale
I bought a couple old ones for cheap for my Xbox this year (BO2, IW+MWR), but I don't really cycle this dumb shit yearly. I just want the quality ones of the bunch and I can move on.
I don't my dad let's me download it off his account he's a boomer who enjoys the story and zombies we going to play together when his off work next week very kino, also his SBMM is God awful so i usually end up going 70-4 when we play multiplayer together
Never played the others and don't wanna. Should have stopped at BOII.
The only reason I kept buying was because I'd hoped that Ghosts was a speedbump and we'd get back to our regularly scheduled CoD4 - BO era of mil-slop campaign kino asap. Didn't happen and I'm a sucker and a fool.
Last one was black ops 2 but only bought it because it was on a surprisingly good sale back then, less than $20 and it had some dlcs included or something. But bought MW2019 few months back and it surprised me how well balanced the multiplayer was, everything felt more "fair" than in early 2010s call of duties
MW19 really tried to reboot the boots on ground in favor of something more tactical-ish, but then so many codkiddies bitched so damn hard that MWII went right back to sprintsanity tryhard bullshit anyway.
I never started.
Never bought any of them.
I discovered it with MW3 then did BO2 then i went to BF4 when ghost came
MW2 was the last COD I purchased.
Last cod I bought was Cold War when it was on sale for $20
They scammed me all the way to advanced warfighter
I skipped everything after MW3 & bought that because my friends hounded me & promised it was allegedly so much different than the others. The titanfall mechanics weren't that much of a change in my eyes & I swore I'd never fall for anything like it again. Still they were happy I played with them for a while so I guess that counts for something.
I buy it every year and have been upset as long as I can remember, I am a masochist I guess
MW3.
I started the series with cod4. I really only cared about the modern warfare trilogy.
MW2019 was amazing, and everything since has been mediocre or trash.
I haven't bought one since.
Same.
Last one I bought was the original MW3, picked up 2019 and got into Warzone but that shit's also fallen off a cliff so I'm probably done with it forever now.
After Blop2, lost interest
blop 1 is still the most kino
Black Ops 2 is my head cannon ending to the COD series until it was revivers with the COD 4 MW remaster and Warzone. Everything else in between was just a dream.
*revived
same
Black Ops 2. I played some Warzone and the first Modern Warfare remaster.
I like brain dead shooters so I buy it but I have never once enjoyed it
whenever i see this game i instantly think of those naggers you see at walmart with the spagetti hair and the socks with flip flops lol. i can almost smell the stale weed smoke from here.
Never started. I was a halo guy and would spend hours online fighting people on message boards about how cod games were for gay people and halo was a mans game.
I only liked halo's campaigns & even in those I found the movement speed to be torture let alone online where it was magnified.
cod is still for homosexuals and sprinting ruined halo.
I wasn't disagreeing, just lamenting that I couldn't enjoy the multiplayer of halo, all my friends did, if it was 2x speed or had very condensed maps I'd probably like it.
i miss that era of halo and cod black ops.
what complete games. they gave us: a singleplayer, a multiplayer, splitscreen, zombies (cod), private games, a theater mode, forge mode (halo), online splitscreen, co op campaign (halo, cod waw had it). all that shit in one game, crazy. all for $60 + tax. with $10 dlc. fuckin' incredible when you think about it.
I think you're forgetting how half-baked the games were on release and how certain features didn't work or straight up crashed the game in quite a few common scenarios (Forge/Theatre mode for Halo) and how Zombies is literally worse and more dead basic than the fucking CoD4 mod it came from. Like, I never understood Zombies
>Empty map with 2 basic enemy types
>ooooo stay alive xd get the good rare random weapon
>fun with friends xd
Literally mobile game-tier time wasting.
I don't know. I was 13-18 during that era. I remember it was kinda buggy. Zombies is just a horde mode. Fighting off waves of enemies. Left 4 Dead, but you're confined to one area. My friends and i liked it. It added to the multiplayer options. I played a lot of zombies.

If modern games released back then they'd be half price but now they're charging $70 for a fraction of the content & it sells anyway because people are retarded.
It was dope. MW3 was a big drop. I stopped playing after Black Ops 2. It might have also been the fact that it came out my senior year of high school, but something about that game made me depressed.
I think i could tell that the era was coming to an end. 2012-2013 is right when games started to slowly become gay and then gamergate happened.

cod4 other cod games I just kinda got, with GPU or some other "special offer" type shit
pre ordered this so much fun playing mw2 maps with the bros again
right after black ops 2.
I have only ever paid for a call of duty game exactly once in my life
i played the original COD for free and felt that it was too scripted with forced experiences. never went back
the second one
After Ghosts but really it was the decision to make CoD Battle.net only on Pc which made me drop the series.
I would get older games on sale on steam but can't be bothered anymore, just watch them on youtube instead.
everyone and their mother bought mw19, most of them after warzone came out. how did they fuck up the entire cod name so badly after that fucking gift from the gods
i really thought they were gonna revive cod. feels like a dream. i don't even remember seeing ads. one day i just realized warzone and mw remaster were a thing.
When BF1943 came out. Then I jumped to BC2 until 4.
Only bought the reboot and while 1/16 was ok, 2/19 was a mess and 3/20 is looking to be even worse.
Similar to how CoD4, 6, and 8 progressed ironically.
I played everything. Halo, CoD, and Battlefield. I bought Halo 4 and played it, but i knew the series was over. When i played MW3 and Black Ops 2, i knew the series was over. I liked Bad Company, at Bad Company 2, i didn't realize Battlefield wasn't that popular. I played with friends who had only ever played CoD. They kept getting annoyed and wanted to play cod instead.

This will probably be the second cod I ever bought
Regularly? I stopped with MW3. Then I bought BO4 for Blackout and BOCW because I wanted to put down reds.
I hope I unlock a nuclear shotgun soon.
BO2 was the last one I bought. Pirated ever since but then MW'19 became online only and I stopped giving a shit.
When vangaurd came out
after MW2, Bobby kill the franchise.
Bought Cold War because I grew up playing BO1. I never got $60 of value out of that game.
This one seemed pretty alright based on the playtest. The remasters of old maps seemed pretty high effort and they abandoned the unpopular Latin America theme from MW2022. The campaign seems like a massive ripoff, but I suspect the majority of people do not buy these for the campaign.
>right beside Just Chatting on Twitch already
What an honor.
And now it is number one.
09-2012-ish
I still like the concept but the games are so dull.
After 2. And I don't mean MW2, I mean COD2.
Nice crew.
>play in a lobby with the mandatory 13 year old using the nicky skin because he thought it was funny
>he ended up carrying the match
>even outing the streamer, the 30 year olds and the usual COD dudes
>next match
>black guy
>did not say nigga once
>hated rap music
>positive k/d and did the objectives
Expectations were subverted.
Very funny story.
black ops 1
pirated cold war recently and it looks ok but doesn't' feel as exciting I guess I got older
I stopped after MWII 2009 because it was an unintentionally kino game.
Got to try every game after that without spending a dime and they were all just the same but worse.
Black Ops was bland, sure the story on paper is good but the gameplay is terrible. MW3 2011 might be underrated because I can think of 3 cool spectacle missions. Cold War was fun to watch on youtube, Treyarch really wants to do anything but tacticool military bullshit.
I got back into the series sadly with this turd and it is odd, it is not as pozzed as I would had expected and the game finds a pacing at the very end but it is just so barebones as a game it made me appreciate MGSV. I mean imagine playing a game so bad you can remember MGSV fondly, and that game was mostly filler but that is how you do a sandbox shooter.
MGSV without all the padding (waiting to develop weapons, gathering materials and repeating missions at least trice) would be almost perfect and I wanted to replay it after finishing MWIII but then I remembered the unskippable intro.
Oh yeah MWIII sucks ass but I am here for the MP anyways, it is just disappointing to know Activision is not even trying anymore. The cutscenes are butt slapping gorgeous, I mean the story is moronic and I cannot believe they hired 6 writers plus 3 diversity consultants for this crap and you end up with female characters that do fuck all and have minimal contribution and villains that do spread their evil plots and explain them out loud in the open ignoring the obvious drone in the cutscene, but it does have a cinematic feel in a good sense. It was like watching a burger movie with all the negatives that implies but very life like, I was impressed.
They tricked me with mw2,2
They aren't tricking me again
OG MW2 was probably the last cowadoody game I played, and I had been playing them since the original CoD.
I've bought:
COD in January 2004
COD 2 in 2008
COD 4 in April 2008
COD:WAW on release
BLOPS 1 on release
MW2 on release
BLOPS 2 on release
After mw2019
Liked the game but the maps were shit and the playerbase was too sweaty
Even going back to older cods, they're not tryharding as much (even bo4 which came out before mw2019)
The sbmm ruined cod for me and I'm not buying one ever again
Black Ops 1 is the last time I was excited for a CoD game and the last time I bought one new.
People have gifted me a few of them over the years though, had a bit of fun with Black Ops 3, and WW2 was alright. Never really gave a fuck about Modern Warfare 2019 and Warzone
I bought CoD4, MW2, Black ops, and then impulsively bought Advanced Warfare when that came out and it was actually very fun on PC. I think I downloaded Warzone but got a crash on launch that at the time was unfixable, some people were just shit out of luck so I uninstalled it and never tried again. CoD4 was the most fun I had with the series. MW2 would have been but they just completely fucked up post launch patches. I hated Black Ops 2 and forward so only played them at other people's houses.
MWII and MW 2019, didn't buy Vanguard though and Cold War I got for free from a kind friend who wanted to play zombies with me. MWIII Beta was absolute dogshit which I expected from SH so not even gonna bother with it even on sale
I bought a couple old ones for cheap for my Xbox this year (BO2, IW+MWR), but I don't really cycle this dumb shit yearly. I just want the quality ones of the bunch and I can move on.
I don't my dad let's me download it off his account he's a boomer who enjoys the story and zombies we going to play together when his off work next week very kino, also his SBMM is God awful so i usually end up going 70-4 when we play multiplayer together
Anyone wanna play with us post your COD; ID
Never bought this shit in the first place. Fuck you all for feeding the gotslop cancer that destroyed this hobby.
I have:
>CoD
>UO
>CoD 2
>CoD 3
>CoD 4
>WaW
>MW2
>BO
>MW3
>BOII
>Ghosts
>AW
>BOIII
>WWII
>BOCW
Never played the others and don't wanna. Should have stopped at BOII.
The only reason I kept buying was because I'd hoped that Ghosts was a speedbump and we'd get back to our regularly scheduled CoD4 - BO era of mil-slop campaign kino asap. Didn't happen and I'm a sucker and a fool.
Last one was black ops 2 but only bought it because it was on a surprisingly good sale back then, less than $20 and it had some dlcs included or something. But bought MW2019 few months back and it surprised me how well balanced the multiplayer was, everything felt more "fair" than in early 2010s call of duties
MW19 really tried to reboot the boots on ground in favor of something more tactical-ish, but then so many codkiddies bitched so damn hard that MWII went right back to sprintsanity tryhard bullshit anyway.
I bought all except Infinite Warfare, but only ones I Max Prestige in is MW2 (2009) and MW2 (2023)
after advanced warfare. cod hasn't been good since blops 2 and mw2
