What is the best call of duty game.

Asked by socialfly26 (212points) December 22nd, 2020

I’m just curious on what you guys think is the best call of duty game. I personally think that call of duty advanced warfare is the best but I haven’t played any of the newer ones.

I’ve only played a few of them, and not very heavily, so I don’t know. Having been an editor of computer game reviews though, and read a few CoD reviews outside that job, I can say opinions will vary widely depending on personal tastes. As I recall, there were one or more fairly gritty earlier games, and then later games tended to be rather different in various ways, adding zombies and drones and so on.

I played the Android version for a bit and was surprised that I enjoyed it as much as I did, but I think that was because of the way it matched me as a new player with newbie opponents, and I could just be somewhat cautious and usually end up with the best kill to death rates because the other players were inexperienced and rushing around. But I thought all the extensive upgrades, power-ups and vanity armor looked mostly like nonsense and the game was so large that I removed it after a while.

I don’t like the aspect of hoarding vanity upgrades as if your soldier was surviving countless gun battles, despite DYING multiple times.

Sure. I used to be more into FPS games. My most recent habits with them were playing Planetside 2, and Team Fortress 2. I tend to prefer relatively realistic games, or at least ones where I find the action relatable. I like gun fights to be more about taking cover, maneuver, and avoiding getting shot because getting hit once tends to be serious, perhaps debilitating or lethal. I don’t like FPS games that allow bunny-hopping or strafing around in the open as an effective way to avoid getting shot. And I don’t much like grinding for upgrades, especially, as I wrote before, when they’re carried over despite death, so it’s just a matter of grind time and/or paying, which is one of the things I did not like about Planetside 2.

Another FPS that’s about my style is the Arma series, though I haven’t gotten much into it, as I’ve been more into other games in recent years, and it seems to have a high amount of time put into getting into the action, only to usually have me get quickly killed because I haven’t developed my skill and understanding enough yet.

The Hidden & Dangerous games were good at being realistic and gritty World War 2 games. There was also a mod for Battleground 2 I liked that made it very deadly and more realistic.

I’ve enjoyed Doom, Quake, Quake 2, and several others… there was a mod for Unreal Tournament I liked to play multiplayer with a lot, where the only weapon was a blaster that killed in one shot.
