Is it worth buying?

[50 Cal]

Ok i know this is probably a stupid question for most of you, but for the "other" who understand me when I say "I don't want the multiplayer to be like the first 2. (noob tubers you know who you are)

I've asked my friends and they've given me mixed feedback, so now I turn to you my clan. Is this game worth buying?

[Weeman]

there are those who enjoy the same FPS game over and over and then there are those who dont like what as become of the call of duty series at all. My honest opinion is to wait till its on sale down the road because by then atleast they'll have a few patches out fixing this game. At this point in time i would say no, its not worth buying since treyarch doesnt seem to find it worth the while to put out a game when its ready.

 

1.claymores are stupid, you can run and set them down, also if a claymore you placed explodes on you, it does NO damage but kills the enemy instantly.(fixable)

2. frame freezing, there seems to be a bug with steam cloud causing you game to literally freeze for around 5-10 seconds usually resulting in your death, and in some instances multiple deaths.(fixable)

3. noob tubes, they are still there.

4. killstreak rewards are stupid as of right now( bombs can kill you when your in buildings, and before you say herp derp your probably in a shack, NO there is a map where you are IN a BOMB SHELTER and you will still die.)(fixable)

5. Nuketown HOLY FUCK, why would they put a map like this in the game? Sure is fun nade chucking and camping so you can get a napalm strike or something else stupid. Oh and if you dont get banned for teamkilling in this map, then your not throwing enough nades.

6. hardcore mode all you have to do is spray and there is a chance you'll hit someone in the big toe and kill them while non hardcore mode it takes anywhere between 8-12 shots to kill someone(the higher amount of hits are due to second chance).(fixable)

 

as you can see most of my arguments are fixable with patches, only time will tell if this game will be taken care of by treyarch, but since they've made so much money and are already planning on 2 more call of duties, i think not.

I have the game, and i would say no. i cant even play multiplayer, and its annoying. it needs patches. Weeman pretty much said it right, i would wait a while.

[fRacture]

I wouldn't even get anything Treyarch related.

1. That's why there's the hacker perk, to see those clays...and they have killed me before when an enemy ran in front of it while I was too.

 

2. It's a GPU choke, there's a command that's like "cl_renderpreference" but I forgot, it's defaulted to dx7, so set it to dx10.

 

3. Don't peek or keep running.

 

4. I have NEVER seen a bomb kill someone in a building. Unless it's the map with the control center and glass ceiling.

 

5. Easily removable from the map list.

 

6. Hardcore is MORE realistic which I like. Getting shot with 4 bullets and still standing is bullshit in my books.

1. like i said most are fixable, and im not going to take a perk just because of a claymore glitch, waste of a perk spot IMO

 

2. like i said this is fixable but still a bug in its current state

 

3. i dont see how that prevents you from dieing against a grenade launcher?

 

4. just because you haven't seen it doesnt mean it doesnt happen. it happened several times on Monkey's server yesterday

 

5. yes it is, but it is a TERRIBLE map that treyarch shitted out one night after white castle

 

6. hardcore mode is more realistic due to everyone dieing in 1-2 shots, no matter where, so a guy with a scorpion can shoot randomly and hit a sniper on the other side of the map in the foot and kill him. its better then standard mode yes since 12 shots to die is dumb as shit but hardcore mode with last stand is rediculous, nothing is more infuriating then putting 3 bullets into a guy for him to shoot you once and YOU die while he can still kill other people. And like i said this is fixable, they just need to find a balance

This this this this, you're dumb weeman. I've never seen it happen.

[r3dm0nd]

okay guys no need to fight about it, but i also have been considering buying this game and have also heard mixed reviews but with all these issues it seems not worth it at all i would rather buy a totally finished (nearly bug free game) for about 70 than pay 60 on any platform for a game with so many issues but all i do know is this will probably be the last good cod game we have for a while as all but 6 people are left from the original infinity ward team

[Vetman]

I agree with weeman on the point he made about claymores, thats it.

 

2. frame freezing: Get more ram

 

3. If you dont have balance in your game between cheap weapons and good weapons then the game will be boring

 

4. Killstreak rewards have always had their advantages and disadvantages. Thats one big advantage to hardcore, with the auto kick funtion it encourages people to be more careful.

 

5. Its a map, get over it.

 

6. Hardcore mode has always been that way, although, league mod has never been Hardcore. Promod had its own set HP level. (Its what the pros use.) Its all about your own perspective and opinion.

[RetiredTacos]

Someone let me play it this weekend on their account. Was not worth buying IMO. Maybe once some patches are realized, but "hardcore mode" is just retarded.

[Weeman]

This this this this, you're dumb weeman. I've never seen it happen.

yea i guess since it hasn't happened to you then it hasn't happened to ANYONE else.

I agree with weeman on the point he made about claymores, thats it.

2. your kidding right? RAM? don't answer a question with an answer that has nothing to do with it. "whats your favorite fruit joe?" "keyboards!" like seriously, its already been confirmed a glitch within the game as in CROSSHAIR's post

 

3. that logic makes no sense whatsoever. "hurr durr having retarded guns makes it fun" and all i said was they're still there.

 

4. yes the autokick function is nice, except when you have maps like #5 that guarentee kicks and bans. Monkey has the map on his server BECAUSE he finds it hilarious people get banned, you either go like 54 and 6 on the map or 3 and 34.

 

5. see # 4

 

6. and yes i agree it is all about perspective and opinion which what my previous posts have been.

[50 Cal]
