Well they have been improving each iteration (not hard) so you never know.

But that's so the buildings can collapse.


The best thing in Black Ops 2 was the little assault missions. They were fun.

I hate the MP but enjoy the campaigns. I look forward to getting this on my One, though of course it won't be until the next instalment that the series releases a true next gen CoD.

Call Of Duty: Big Stuff Breaks 10

I remember when CoD4 on't maroon had a fuckton of replies in a huge topic, was glorious. Seeing this thread made me lol, its looks so lonely.

I started that thread and was full of excite yet in months it only got upto 2, yes 2, pages. It wasn't until the beta that people realised what they were getting and things went ballistic.

Again, I've not found any other series that beats the local off-line splitscreen modes. I wish I could.

Which is what?

I think the Halo lot would argue there is a series that beats it for offline split screen.

Oh, like that PlayStation TV thing.

Ah right, different beast then.

SimulView Technology Improves the 2-player Gaming Experience

Fans of co-op and competitive gaming modes are intimately familiar with local split-screen multiplayer functionality, which literally splits the visible display area of a single TV used in offline play to show the differing actions of individual players participating in the same game, at the same physical location. As advantageous as this is for group play, the quality of even the sharpest of HD television displays is compromised by the halving of the viewable area. SimulView Technology does away with this issue by enabling two players in a supported game to see their actions in-game displayed as full-screen projections** (the full requirement for the effect are: a PlayStation 3D Display, 2 pairs of PlayStation 3D Glasses, a PS3 system, a PS3 game that supports SimulView, and two players). Built on the Active 3D glasses technology and specially enhanced for gaming, SimulView technology brings players deeper in the game than ever before while still sharing the experience with a friend. Games supporting SimulView technology include MotorStorm Apocalypse, Killzone 3, Gran Turismo 5, Super Stardust HD, with more titles in development and coming soon.

In fact I'm not sure why any 3DTV can't but I think it's limited to Sonys and LGs?

Probably best to look online, afaik it's not something they put on the box. As above, you need 2 pairs of special glasses too, LL and RR. Also it's not perfect, you do get a little bit of ghosting but it's not usually that noticeable.

Hilarious that they took a video wholesale from MW2 for this.

I think the hardcore fans and the developers are getting fatigued with the series; for the former, buying a full price game every 12 months, all the DLC, stumping up for Elite membership, etc., is getting tiresome, and for the latter there's only so much innovation you can do within the CoD framework before you either run out of ideas or do something to ruin how it plays.

I think this is going to end up going the way of the plastic instrument music games; too much too fast, so people get put off and it dies out. I doubt Activision will care, though, they've still made more money than Scrooge McDuck off this freight train of a franchise.

If, instead of CoD 4, WaW, MW2, BlOps, MW3, BlOps II and Ghosts we'd have had CoD 4, 5 and 6, there'd probably be more people still into the series. Even the hardcore guys on YouTube are already lamenting the state of multiplayer in Ghosts, even with the promise of dedicated servers. Hell, there are still people playing CoD 4 from what I hear. If instead of being spread over seven different games, everyone was playing the latest of three, Activision could still be selling map packs for MW1.

Ah well. I'm no longer a day one-r for Ghosts, but I'll probably pick it up at some point. I'm not that hardcore of a fan, so I've only played MW, MW2 and BlOps II (and only the latter in multiplayer), so the fatigue hasn't set in.

Cod 4 was awesome.
