6? What the fuck where have I been
This is Call of Duty 22.
It’s even better if you call it by it’s number of release in the whole chronological series, which would make this call of duty 52.
I feel oldno its call of duty getting oldcall of duty is old
Same. I played the first one and it was ok.
I dunno I find these games are always the same and there’s no point in playing every release.
Years ago I told myself I’d play every 3rd COD game because of this, but haven’t played one since the 360.
me and my friends returned to cod after 9 years with this game. we tried MW3 but lost faith as it was a crashing, janky piece of rubbish. but this one man, there is something special again for the first time in so long…
I’m confused by this, I didn’t think mw3 was received poorly and playing blops6 I definitely think mw3 was better.
Would you pay 70€ for DLC that was repackaged into a standalone game?
I watched a video because i was curious since i have only played call of duty 4 and mw2 and then warzone. People talked about how the operators and skins didn’t transfer. That tells you everything about these games. They could all be dlc’s but then they couldn’t sell people new skins. And people actually buying them is pretty grim for gaming in general
Is it really that good?
Also, If I have never played any CoD, how and where should I start?
CoD 2. Best campaign of the series imo. But it is a very different game from anything since MW. And of course it is some 20 years old by now.
The original modern warfare or original black ops is a great place to start. Sadly you’ll never experience the way multiplayer was back then but the campaigns are pretty good
I’m not super into CoD and the last one I played (not counting remasters) were Advanced Warfare campaign and some Black Ops 3 multiplayer. They were okay but at that point I was quite tired with the series. I started BO6 on my XSX and the single player campaign is quite fun. I probably won’t be touching multiplayer on the account of being old.
The thing about CoD campaigns is that you have to suspend your disbelief and go with the flow of what game is throwing at you. There’s a lot of scripted scenes where you just have to push through to progress to next scripted scene. If you play to exploit that you won’t get much enjoyment. Treat it like a amusement park ride and it’ll treat you with bombastic set pieces.
I’m not sure if I’m missing anything lore-wise. Black Ops 1&2 which I played were heavy on spy / CIA stuff, plot twists and I enjoyed them a lot. So far I’m just assuming BO6 is cryptic on purpose like older ones so it doesn’t bother me that I jumped without playing previous ones.
Technically CoD games have always been rather accomplished with nice visuals while targeting 60fps (but not making a big deal out of dropping to 50 or so). BO6 looks very good.
Overall it’s not some revolutionary or overly ambitious game but it’s quite competent equivalent of a popcorn flick.
If you’ve never played a CoD at all, I would recommend just playing the campaign (might be buggy atm though). It usually teaches all the necessary skills in order to be at least of some use in PvP, even when you aren’t a pro in shooters.
Other than that, the Zombies mode is nice.
If you mean singleplayer campaigns: as far back as you can stomach the graphics of.
If you actually want good campaigns, Black Ops 1 is fuckin legendary. World At War was also great. As is Modern Warfare (2007) and Modern Warfare 2(2009). Modern Warfare 3 (2011) was also good. Black Ops 2 was good. I wouldn’t bother with any further Black Ops games- one of them doesn’t even have a campaign iirc.
For the much much newer titles, Modern Warfare (2019) was good. Modern Warfare (2022) was also solid. Modern Warfare 3 is ‘last years title’ being referred to in the OP.
None of these are narrative masterpieces exactly- the closest is probably the Black Ops games. With that said, they’re very much ‘action movie’ videogames. Tons of crazy set pieces, unique segments, and then the cutscenes that usually tie together a reasonable enough plot to be interesting.
If you mean multiplayer: honestly just jump into Black Ops 6. None of the older titles are likely to be a great experience at this point. Or just spend your time on a better game lol
Are the stories related in the campaigns? Or are they stand alone like Battlefield games?
