OOH, BABY! A TRIPLE COMBO!
Okay, but seriously, we gotta be serious about this. Because the game we are talking about today, is not something so loved in the world of….. Ugh…. gamers. That word, gamers. What a fucking sickening word to me. Such a corporate and awful term use to describe the worst kinds of things about the entirety of the gaming community. I want to see the word gamer be the new N-word hoặc F-word, and not fuck. I mean the OTHER F-word. But getting back on topic, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.
Notorious in the world of video games as being hated bởi people who probably surf r/gaming on a regular basis, if bạn like any Call of Duty game, you’re not a true gamer. And bạn know what, I’m fine with that. But let’s stop talking about a terrible word and talk about a good game, okay? So Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is the first in the franchise to start with a modern war, following the troops of both American and British forces as they try to put a stop to radical extremists in the Middle East, also eventually leading to the involvement of Russia in some way, but that’s not till the sequel. Call of Duty 4 was not something I was too excited to play. After loving Halo, I could never enjoy just any war shooter. If bạn wanted to impress me, bạn needed to do something really good hoặc at least perfect the thing bạn were making. And in short, Call of Duty 4 really perfected what it was going for. A war shooter set in the modern days (of 2011), and despite that, it didn’t feel bland, uninteresting, generic, hoặc tedious. And that’s because of… variety. A word that Activision as seemed to forget about, but we’ll get to that later. The missions in this game are a ton of fun, like sneaking in Russia in a ghillie suit, hoặc having to escape a sinking tanker ship, hoặc my yêu thích and everyone else’s yêu thích mission in, possibly the entire franchise, Shock and Awe, where bạn get to experience the last few moments of life of a soldier after a nuclear bomb goes off. People like to say that Call of Duty is just macho man shooter trash with no real creativity to it, but I think this is one of the missions that really pulls it off. It really pulls it off well and not trying way too hard like the new World War II one. Call of Duty 4 just has so much creativity and layers to it’s writing. Sure, bạn can pass it off as just being another Call of Duty game, but that’s your loss. I’ll happily enjoy this FPS game, and I don’t even like FPS games. I certainly don’t enjoy much Call of Duty games. Even the good ones, like Black Ops, don’t interest me. (Notice: I never played multiplayer, so I have no opinion on it. I still enjoyed the game on it’s own)
Call of Duty 4 was a damn fun game, and probably one of the last few good ones of the series, before we got so much boring, uninteresting games in the franchise that feel so bad. Advanced Warfare, Infinite Warfare, World War II, Black Ops 4. But hey, at least I got to experience Call of Duty 4 when it was still fresh and loved, before Activision tried to force bạn to buy Infinite Warfare bởi dangling Call of Duty 4 remastered over our heads like a carrot. Seriously, go fuck yourselves, Activision.
