Call of Duty Launches Subscription Service

Note the title I used is the one I saw on my phone in CNN Mobile as opposed to the nicely-spun one on this cnn.com version. "Compete across platforms" as in stat-comaprisons not actually play against another platform user.

No, right thread. We are supposed to point and laugh as fans of the superior franchise.

Yes but this doesn't even have that it's just stats comparison across platforms as far as I can determine. And you have to pay extra for it along with the "new content" monthly or some shit.

Damn, Crazy, 743 SPM as Assault? How you managing that?

Xbox users are getting F'ed!! Paying 60$ for the game then monthly internet, then a xbox gold subcription, then a pay to play fee. WTF!

I have a xbox 360 and I never play it online due to this. its garbage on how much MS makes off people.

 

[Wrigleyvillain]

Right. Why I posted. So we can roll our eyes and smirk. Heh.

I presume the sales figures for BF3, despite widespread criticism of Origin, has encourged them to proceed in this manner: as a community and as consumers considered collectively, we are willing to tolerate all nature of business practices that seem to operate against us.

 

[Wrigleyvillain]

Um Origin notwithstanding BF3 is a long-anticipated and high quality product and experience compared to the annual shovelware that COD has become. You can't fairly compare the two apples-to-apples and your statement is a major generalization. That said, the continued popularity and success of that franchise does show that too many consumers do have their heads up their asses.

I don't really give a hoot about my stats, i play it coz its fun, all the other stuff is a bonus. If i unlock stuff nice if not meh so what its not what the games about is it. Just have fun playing, after all thats why its called a game eh?

Agreed, I am more than willing to sacrifice SPM and K/D ratio to try out all the classes and play with different tactics

 

[brandonwh64]

Im not to worried about K/D ratio but I do like things such as Rank, Unlocks, and Awards.
It makes me feel that I accomplished something after a long match

 

[Deleted member 24505]

I'm not great at it, i do ok sometimes. Had fun on the TPU server last night though. Lets see who can get tiggers tags first eh

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

This is why i cant fly tell me if anyone has the same problems

 

[brandonwh64]

Its really not about doing well but atleast contributing to a team. If you camp the whole round and do nothing then your worthless, if you atleast try to kill people and take flags, it doesnt matter how good you are just that your trying.

The lag causes alot of turbulence especially on really laggy servers makes it almost impossible to kill stuff and it can effect you on the most random and inconvenient times

Hmmm I dont know if I have experienced this

 

[Wrigleyvillain]

Yeah that's a nice way to describe stats--a bonus. Sure we care about them but It's not why we play. Anyone who does or cares about them too much has some screwed up priorities in life, I'd say.

Here's Part 2 of the "Mythbusting" vid:

 

[brandonwh64]

I wished they would allow C4 on EOD bot. that would be a nice trojan horse

 

[catnipkiller]

sorry about my vid post im on my cellphone LOL but when im flying i hit speed bumps and fall from the sky it takes me holding afterburn and pulling up just to stay in the air. my friends pc does not have this problem and i dont feel like reinstalling this game. anyone else hitting speed bumps?

I own Modern Warfare. I started it once to make sure it was working and that was it. I'm not slagging the game in any way, but I have watched "experts" go at it on an x-box and, fine, it looks good, I just haven't got round to it yet and probably never will.

That said, I've clocked up nearly 500 hours on Bad Company 2, mostly in Vietnam. But Origin puts me off, simply because I'm becoming old and cranky, less able to dedicate time to games and more inclined to reject products on the basis of what I see as abuse and a failure to simply afford me the respect I deserve as the guy paying the cash.

But, if I use Steam, there's probably no logical reason not to use Origin (disregarding the fact that EA is not Valve), and certainly Tigga's great display of fortitude and willpower is not aiding my own resistance to buying the game.

Just clarifying my "position".

wait till people unlock more stuff for air

they really new Air to ground support. the jets need bombs for air strikes

the world isn't a nice place. if you live your life based on who does and doesn't respect you , you're in for a hell of a lot of work. a lot of things are more important than enjoyment - but this is a video game. if you enjoy it, don't let that stupid crap get in the way of enjoying it.

 

[Wrigleyvillain]

Yeah digibucc has a point but I can see where you're coming from as well.

The main problem i get is, when i click to join a server it will pop up a little box behind the server browser window, saying Bf3 has stopped working, even though it says playing in the server browser window. If i close the error and click to join the server again it works fine. Plus it just froze, and the whole screen went white, had to end task it.
