We're all idiots for liking earlier games that established the franchise? Okay.


Romanticize: deal with or describe in an idealized or unrealistic fashion; make (something) seem better or more appealing than it really is.

He's not saying you're idiots for liking earlier games, he's simply referring to the fact that there were plenty of issues with those games that go forgotten when looking back and reminiscing about past installments. I would also like to see another boots on the ground style of Call of Duty, but the majority of you are just trying to grasp the last part of your childhood by criticizing every aspect of an otherwise well-made game.

Thank you for that. Was on a 4 day suspension. I feel like a few too many 9gaggers are stuck with a 4th grade reading level.

Mw2 was by far my favorite, played that so god damn much. Bought BO3 and it's just not the same. Black Ops 1 was the only good one in that series.

I literally thought, if but for a fleeting moment, that the second picture was some sort of rollercoaster tycoon ad. Until I saw the guns.

It's completely subjective. No shit there were issues, but nowhere near the amount there is nowadays. If you started playing cod in its early days, then the new shit just feels weird as fuck. I still play cod 2 occasionally on PC for instance, it's a no bullshit game. No killstreaks, no running on walls, etc. It's just you and your gun. If you like the newer games, gz.

The difference between issues and personal preferences is something you don't grasp well.
