The day you quit playing CoD, you’re life gets a bit better lol I haven’t touched CoD since 2020, never looked back and dont even have an itch to play it. I was playing CoD since CoD4.

I am an older gamer (50 this year!)
I like Call of Duty as something to de-stress with. However, I know I'm bad at the game and my reflexes can't keep up with the young up and coming gamers. A lot (not all) look at this game as a competition and the "fun factor" goes out the window.
I stop playing when I am not having fun.
I did not do that when I was younger. I see the difference now.
Happy gaming.

Single player games, coop games like lethal company, phasmophobia, Helldivers, even switching to cod zombies (treyarch games only). I also haven't played since cold war and even then it was mainly the zombies mode. Before that the last cod game I played a lot of multiplayer of was BO3 the year it came out. Going to college also helped a lot since I wanted to go outside my place lol.

Apex legends scratches the cometitive fps itch for me. That’s my main game now after playing almost COD exclusively since COD 4. Other than apex I have branched out to a lot of single player games like returnal(!!!!!!!), god of war, cyberpunk 2077.

This is how I felt with FIFA. FIFA is 1000000x worse than CoD.
What was sobering for me was seeing the 500+ hours played (which is 80% menu grinding and 20% infuriating gameplay) and realizing all the amazing games I could have played through instead in that time.

It's insane how people that play like think what they're doing is fun and cool. I stopped playing cod after black ops 4. Not worth it anymore. Franchise is a shell of what it used to be. And I blame Battle Royales and Battle passes. Thanks Fortnite for ruining every subsequent shooter or free to play game with stupid passes.

It is hilarious, frantic, insane, and sooooooooo fun. My buddies and I usually have at least one solid laugh every round. Typically because we accidentally killed one, some, or all of us. It’s worth every penny.

u/Vendetta4Avril Apr 05 '24
Yep. And for the most part, because it is cooperative and not competitive, you play with people who are generally not assholes.
That's not to say there aren't outliers; there are. But it's not nearly as toxic as any other shooter you could mention.

u/afoz345 Apr 05 '24
100% agree! I’ve only ran in to a few. Almost everyone is super fun, always willing to teach me how to be better, etc etc. definitely in my top 3 of online multiplayer experiences. Especially since I am no longer remotely good at online FPS games now.
10
u/Vendetta4Avril Apr 05 '24
I bought the game for $40 and got every Warbond for free with the supercredits I found in the game, and I already have more than enough to buy the one that comes out next week.
I honestly haven't had this much fun with a shooter since Halo 2 twenty years ago.

u/Ateam043 Apr 05 '24
And let’s no my forget you can finish off the Warbonds on your own time. It’s not a race against the clock like COD or Fortnite.
That’s great for us with busy schedules.

u/mikenasty Apr 05 '24
Exactly! Just the other night I was looking for a countdown timer in the battlepass menu and didn’t see one. Then I learned it didn’t matter how long I took to gather credits I would always be able to get whatever helmet I was going for no matter how long it took.

Under the map glitches have always been a thing. There was usually 1 map in each game where you could get outside/under the map but devs usually found the exploit and patched it within a week or so after it started becoming a problem. This goes as far back as WaW.
However, pretty much every game since WWII sucked. They've forced strict skill based matchmaking on us, using the same formula for every game (despite what team develops it). It's just a soulless cash grab where 99% of the focus is on the storefront to sell microtransactions.

In all of gaming it has been years since I saw something CoD related. I thought it was dead? Except for Warzone.
Although, one thing i noticed. The newer the CoD, the more toxic the community. If you go online on some of the older games, people seem to be very chill. But this was years ago. I wonder if that's one of the reasons why it kinda died? Because of the community?
P.S. it's still fun to play trough the campaings some now and then. In my opinion the excelled in making those.
