Ok, about a week ago I ranted about how bad I thought the new Call of Duty was. At that time I had finished the solo campaign and had played online for about an hour.
I hadn't played it since then until about two days ago. I gave it another chance. I am still not sure about it. It has a lot of really cool features but, to me I think it's still lost something. It's gone from one of the best if not the best shooter game to something so flashy and pretty that I think most people are blinded by it. It's like all those teen movies about some guy who has this crush on the hottest girl in school while his best friend is actually a really cute girl that he is just too blind to see is the right girl for him.
COD 4 seems to lack any control over time. Game session seem to be based on total score so there's no more balls to wall the hour long 1000 point games. Nope, most games now average about 10 minutes. Just about the length of time it takes to get in to the game and then it stops and you are taken to another map. Now, the host can choose maps and players can vote to veto the next map and I like that. But, I just can't get past how frustrating it is when all I want to do is find a good a game and start shooting the shit out of people. When I have an hour or two to play I don't want to spend 5 minutes, every 10 minutes just waiting for the next fucking game to start.
Now, I do like some of the weapons I have been able to unlock so far. And, it is nice to keep your rank and options once you've acquired them. But, when you get right down to it, that's all COD 4 offers. You get some neat weapon options and you keep your rank. Those are nice but it's a shooter game, shouldn't the main focus be about actually spending time shooting things? It's nice to have all the toys but you just don't have enough time to use them all.
I will continue to play COD 4 but so far I have to say my original opinion stands, overall it’s nothing more than a big titted blonde with no brains. Its fun to look at but in the end, I'd much rather have a woman with a brain first and average body than the stereo typical big tit, no brain, blonde.
