CoD kids and their total gunwankery.
Not that I haven’t played Call of Duty before. It’s just that when I finally tried Battlefield games, I find them much more satisfying to me than CoD games. Multiplayer in CoD feels more like a small paintball fight between kids playing war while in Battlefield (out of the ones I played, which are BC, BC2 and 3) feels more like, well, a “Battlefield” given the options the players are given in a bigger playing field, and the variety each game brings with the addition of vehicles.
I did enjoy some Call of Duty games for some time. For instance, I love CoD4’s single player mode, which was quite engrossing, to my surprise. It had only gotten downhill from there, almost making me feel that they probably should have just left CoD 4’s plot as it is before they decided to jumble it further in the sequels.
I also loved playing CoD: World at War’s multiplayer. I don’t know why it’s the only multiplayer CoD that I really liked, which I find it strange that so many other CoD fans didn’t like it.
Back to single-player modes, I wish more FPS games would take cues on BFBC’s single player story, at least on the overall lighter feel of it. Most war games are all too serious, and usually stars some special forces dude, or be around those specops dudes in some cliched critical world-saving mission you see straight out of a Tom Clancy novel. What we have in BFBC are a bunch of regular soldier dudes who was just unfortunate to have been assigned to being cannon fodders as punishment for their stupid actions within the military, and would have the chance at breaking out of it with the temptation of gold and desertion, taking some cues from the movie “The Three Kings”. I wish the sequel (BFBC2) didn’t go down the cliched the special forces route just like most other FPS did.
