Bad Company kicks [MOD COMMENT: Swear word removed] ass. i had it for 3 months and got to somin like 5000th in the rankings. i love that game.
This is the first time ive seen something like this where i'd rather keep the original than buy the new 1 cos its genuinly better. Basically all your getting in WaW is a downgraded COD4. Its got the same graphics, controls etc but they just stripped away what was cool about it and replaced it with imo crappier stuff. All the weapons just bore me as ive used them 100 times befor in roughly 10 games and how many times do i have to win WW2 on my own befor the germans finally give up.
Their 1st mistake was sticking with the cod4 engine as that put them at a disadvantage straight away because people will quickly realise that the only difference is that 1 has cool weapons and cool missions and 1 has everything they've seen 100 times befor in a setting they've seen many-a-time befor. If they had used a different engine then maybe they would of shaken off the COD4 image and come back with something completely different and seperated themselves from cod4 and then people like me wouldnt be comparing the two and poking holes in WaW. I mean if you use the same engine as your predecessor then you have to make the missions, modes, MP etc brilliant and innovitive and they havnt done that imo. Well in MP they've got a carbon based copy of COD4 so why bother getting COD 5 i say. Maybe [MOD COMMENT: Derogatory word removed] will pretend to be dead and they'll hide up trees and the germans will screem at you as you run at them blindly in large numbers but you just cant put a price on COD4 missions with the SAS silently assaenating members of a container ship or storming an IT office with the Marines. Those are moments of gaming brilliance and we had never seen anything like it and thats why we loved it. I can relate to this warfare because i see modern warfare on the news all the time about conflicts that are happening now but WW2 has A. Got boring and B. Is unrealative to modern day life and thats why its imo not anywhere near as immersive as COD4 and thats where i feel the underlying problem is.
Cod 5 imo is a good game but at the end of the day you cant take cod4's engine and chuck in a WW2 setting and expect people to just fall in love with it because personally when i first realised that they used the same engine and played the beta i didnt give a monkeys about cod 5 atall and i just wanted to buy back cod 4 as i soon realised why the hell in this gaming season with many quality titles coming out, would i buy this game which is a mock up of a game i love dearly instead of getting fallout 3 or midnight club LA. It doesnt make any sence to get this 'version' of cod4 instead of something which deserves my money like Fallout. I mean if your loaded then go for it but i am not so i have to pick and choose what i want and what i want is to not waste £45 and something ive 50% already got. Also if IW bring out COD6 in 2010 then god help us all. That would make 2-3 years of development where imo they could bring it out in 2009 and people would love it
I'd like to know in what areas or in what specific moments people actually say to themsleves "This is better than COD4" because imo i just dont see how people can go and get this game when in essence they already have it. Ok many of you on here have played COD4 to death and are genuinly bored of the thing but i sold my copy in march after 5 months of intensive playing and am now coming to the point when i have the choice to buy either 4 OR 5 and im definetly getting 4. If they both came out at the same time and someone asked you which game was a year old i'd without hesitation say cod5. To the people who sold there COD4's months ago i'd say get 4 again and wait till you can get WaW pre-owned because if your wondering which game to get in november and you can only get 1 dont choose this over alot of other good game out there.
