Please read this. I understand Call of Duty has made a LOT of mistakes and lazy choices over the years. I also understand that they over charge and under perform. I understand cheaters have almost full control of the game. I understand and agree with the fact that Activision needs to wake up and stop focusing only on how much money they bring in. However, I think a strong majority of players will play these games only to look for things wrong with the game. Short Campaign: Yes. The campaign was short, but clearly that is not the end of the story. I also saw a lot of streamers pretty much attempt to speed run it and than say how short it felt. Well maybe that’s because all you did was sprint past enemies and sprinting from mission to mission. The story will continue and with the past 5-6 games having pretty conclusive endings, it was nice to see an ending that left us with a cliffhanger. One of the first campaign endings in a while where I finished, and wanted to know more. Every other recent campaign I finished and pretty much forgot about instantly because the story was finished. People wanted to play more and since they can’t, they’re claiming that it was a bad campaign. No. It was short. Not bad. Open Combat Mission: It feels like I’m the only person who enjoyed these open combat missions. I mean for like 10 years, every single mission in every single campaign was you just following an NPC teammate around for ten minutes shooting at bots. Finally we get some missions that take place in a small open world area where you have objective points to go to and can decide whether you want to go guns hot, stealthy, or a little bit of both, playing at your own pace, making your own decisions and everybody starts to whine and freak out. No wonder Call of Duty is scared to make any changes. They try something a little different, that really wasn’t bad at all, and I mean people are flipping out about it. I do believe that a lot of players (at least with the streamers I’ve seen play through it) didn’t like it because they didn’t really know what to do. It shows me that COD fans don’t care about using your mind to think of ways to achieve an objective, just more of the most simple call of duty missions where you just breach a few doors and shoot a few heads. It’s kind of sad that anything more complex than that is too hard for the fans to grasp. CONCLUSION: The reason I wanted people to read this was so we can realize that we need to be clear about what we say when regarding the issues in these games because 1. I feel like a lot of players just agree with their favorite streamer. And these mainstream streamers just speedrun stuff to knock it off their belt more than for the experience. 2. People will not like 1 aspect of the game, then proceed to call the entire game garbage and trash and the worst COD yet. 3. As much as we think Activision knows exactly what we want, they don’t. They have literal millions of players playing different modes like Warzone players, DMZ players, Campaign players, multiplayer players, and soon Zombies players. They have so many different modes and their player base is very diverse in expectations and desires. So REALIZE THAT.
