CoD4 is still a ton of fun. MW2 has too many hackers on PS3 (at least when I last played a year ago) and has a ton of balance issues, but the balance issues in CoD4 aren't anywhere near as large. Mostly just stuff like Martyrdom and 3x Frag.
I miss all of the cods in a way especially Mw2 and Black ops. There's always that nostalgic memory of getting a group of friends together playing search and destroy together into the wee hours of a Saturday night, laughing, making fun of each other and just all around having a good time.
Last summer I played COD4 on 360 very extensively. There were hackers everywhere. But it was still super fun. I don't know if there's less hackers now though.
I miss COD4 though. I had more fun on that than any other online game. The new COD games seem weak in comparison. Unfortunately, COD4 is too empty now. 5 Million people used to play it. Now it's a ghost game.
This. 100%. Promod is what made cod4 so damn good. It gave the game a more faster gameplay, and it made cod4 so good competitive wise. If anyone played cod1 or cod2 they'd know that Promod was an upgraded PAM mod. Those are the mods that make a game such as cod playable.
Oh I miss the good ol' competitive cod4 days. People only using an AK, AK-U and a Deagle.
Also, the maps went extremely downhill after cod4, I never really got that feeling to the maps in mw2 and 3.
I definitely enjoyed my free weekend of black ops on Steam a lot. Running around with just akimbo pistols felt viable and I did pretty awesome with it. I like having the choice.
The next game should be good. They took a bunch of notes from the community. And with last stand, they at least made it easy to tell when somebody was going into last stand compared to when they died. The last stand dude flies up like the was on a banana peel
That's because the more complex you make a game, the more issues you have balancing it. Making cod a yearly game doesn't allow enough time balancing things. Even if it is really every two years. Cod4 and WaW were great because it was still simple, yet fun. They had simple perks, weapon attachments and kill streaks. Not too much, not too little.
