Re: Has Call Of Duty ruined the FPS genre?
I say yes since about every FPS wants to be like COD games in terms of gameplay, sales, and casualness and that for hardcore gamers is a bad thing
Re: Has Call Of Duty ruined the FPS genre?
I say both COD and Halo have ruined the FPS Genere.
they have caused little kids and campers to be in games and caused FPS's to be looked down upon
and its halo's fault for giving you regenerating health over time.
yeah, it makes sense for halo, but why does this machanic have to be used in every FPS?
why can't you just have health packs like in Counter-strike, TF2, or Halo ODST?

Cause it's different elements. That just means you have different taste and the next person loves it.

I know that. but my point is why does every FPS game have to have Autoheal?

As much as I don't really enjoy COD, I can't see how you guys can blame them for "ruining" the genre.
I mean seriously, it's not the COD developers fault that other developers lack innovation and have to copy everything they do.

Wait, DON'T judge the Nation off of 2 peoples opinions.
If that's what you're doing, idk.
But yeah. People can't get mad at COD cause of the lack of innovation.
Re: Has Call Of Duty ruined the FPS genre?
The problem is that Cod is so popular that people start playing other games like Battlefield Bad Company or Killzone 2 like Cod even though they're completely different and it ruins the experience for those who try to play the games they are meant to be played.

Yea, but the game mechanics of some FPS's force the player to adapt.
That's the real reason why COD players hate Halo, because they are completely different. Yet they still have their own fanbases. If more developers made FPS's that differentiates from others in a good way then the FPS genre wouldn't be so saturated with COD/Halo clones.

People thinks it's simply cooler to downplay popular stuff.

That doesn't make any sense. If it were popular, the cool thing to do would be to follow it. Saying it sucks would make you seem like a weirdo; Not cool.

Re: Has Call Of Duty ruined the FPS genre?
Depends on how you think of the situation. If you were to downplay it because it was popular, it would make you seem like an individual or rebel. Which is cool.SlySonji™ wrote:Teckno wrote:People thinks it's simply cooler to downplay popular stuff.

I agree with the guy at a few points like how DICE wants to make their own online expirence rather than making it a complete MW2 clone. I can see the new MoH will have a longer life span compared to CoD.

Nope COD is a blessing to the genre... the problem isnt COD but all the games that want to copy it!
