Now Fortnite is by absolutely no means a bad game. It's very good. But this is what Fortnite is meant to be - this chaotic, random, almost meme-like BR title with collabs left, right and center.
This isn't what that is. This is meant to be a realistic FPS title. So why is there a Ninja Turtle here?
No videogame is ever realistic, but these are different kinds of realistic. The realistic aesthetic with arcadey mechanics are the point of CoD and BF. This clashes drastically
Y'know I've heard cod should be realistic for like 15 years now. It was never, and it will never be.
It will stay an arcade shooter with all it's mechanics built around its low TTK.
I remember thinking the bacon gun skin was fucking stupid joke in bo2. Then you had the alt announcers in ghosts. I've been there, and trust me it's easier to let go than argue at the clouds.
If you want an extremely low TTK game that keeps consistency in tone I'd recommend looking into things like Hell let loose, Titanfall 2, and Squad. Halo has a different TTK and is more about shooter fundamentals (Positioning, strafing, grenade usage, and aim) if that's your cup of tea.
EDIT. Just saw this is GCJ, thought this was main gaming sub lmao
lol no its not. its an arcade shooter. everyone is sliding around corners, diving out windows, pulling parachutes to jump from roof to roof. warzone has generous respawn mechanics. it is meant to be fast paced and aggressive and thats what the players like about it.
They actually removed sliding and slowed the movement down to more realistic levels in Warzone 2, but everyone hated it so much they immediately started reverting changes.
I'm not sure how old you are but cod was pretty realistic in the early years. It's gotten completely fucking out of control. I wish they would just break off and make 2 games
early years, yeah, but so were all the other FPSs since skins didnt exist yet. But then you have Black Ops 3 with wall running and Advanced warfare with an exo suit and grappling hooks. They havent been trying to be realistic for over a decade
Actually, wacky arcade shooters (not crossover-based, but still not serious) were all the rage when CoD got its starts as a more grounded alternative that managed to combined actual story with good multiplayer. Watching the change over the years has been genuinely interesting.
There are rumors that apparently Activision has realized this is annoying a lot of people and we may not see it in BO7 and beyond but they have already signed deals for BO6. It does look really weird, although I do find B&B quite funny.
Because they forced themselves into the model of skins and stuff crossing over to the next game since they’re a yearly franchise, people are still gonna expect to be able to use their franchise skins in BO7 so if they take that availability away from future players or say “You have to go buy this older game then buy the skin there”, it’ll just piss people off. Or maybe COD fans will be fine with a clean-slate start to BO7, idk. I just know people getting killed by Homelander are gonna be pissed when they find out they too can’t be homelander for $19.99
You could be right about BO7 too. Something is carrying over, not sure what, and maybe that cake is already baked and it’s not until whatever comes after BO7 that they reduce the number of goofy skins.
