    A full width split screen zombies mode, and a full lobby of people who want to play Kino Der Toten are pretty much the only thing that would interest me in another COD BLOPS title.

    I just can’t imagine who these titles are for now. I appreciate they’re trying to make the graphics and sound amazing, but these online experiences, as imagined by the developers, have taken away more than they’ve given.

    The last modern warfare title I bought was MW2, that bizarro named one. I opened it a few weeks ago and the whole game has become a loader to other COD games and its multiplayer lobbies are empty. So stupid and I wish I could get a refund.

    when you specify “full width split screen zombies mode”, I’m confused — do the newer games not have split screen for zombies? I thought they carried zombies through all the new games because it was so popular

    I haven’t played since black ops 2, where I quickly dropped it. only played MW2 and black ops one before that.

      That makes more sense. I can see how it simplifies things. It still seems like a decision that is lazy and disregards the players.

      It’s hard to overstate how insanely fast these games get made. I have no doubt that the project managers have to cut any corner they can to meet the release schedule. Don’t take this as a defense of the result, but rather a criticism of the treadmill dev cycle for these games.

        I’m absolutely glad I’m not playing BO6 Part 2, which is what this game is. Forget that nonsense, I’d rather go to BOII, BO4, MW Remastered, or even BOIII for that matter.

          I’m not so sure about the latest versions, if they made local split screen better.

          Black Ops 3 has the Kino der Toten map split screen but it doesn’t run full width. I’m pretty sure the same map on Black Ops 1 did run full width.

          My favorite moments with these games were always playing locally, and having that keeps the game playable for as long as you own it and a working console.

            yep, my favourite COD memories (almost the only, really) are MW2 with buddies, and lapping kino to high levels on split screen

            I’m still not understanding, and I think this is just because what you’re describing is a really stupid thing, but are you actually saying that the local split screen is like a square aspect ratio or something?

              Modem warfare 3 was the last COD game I played and I thought it was mid.

              The original modern warfare was peak COD imo (MW2 was also very good)

                These games are extremely popular on pc. As far as console gaming I love myself and I love the games I play I just don’t play these types of shit games.

                  You should probably stop giving money to them then. Stop buying Call of Duty games. You’re just funding anti-consumer practices.

                  lol, I don’t. I won’t even pirate AAA games (I always buy if I enjoy them). not worth the time because they aren’t fun.

                            You need better reading comprehension than that before trying an aha gotcha- like that.

                              They didn’t say that. Just that they love campaigns in shooters.

                                Point to me one AAA studio that doesn’t have those. If you want to be 100% ethical you should only buy indie games, and I honestly don’t fault anyone for doing so. I just buy whatever game I find good. Unless the company is literally funding nazis, LGBTQ+ phobia (like Hogwarts Legacy), or war crimes (like Escape from Tarkov, and I also did not buy BO7 until Microsoft pulled out of giving money to Israel), if the game is good in the area I care about, I will buy it.

                                  Just play a singleplayer FPS then? That isn’t CoD’s niche anymore my dude.

                                      When you say “it doesn’t run full width”, what do you mean? I’m not following either 😅 do you mean the split screen is vertical (i.e. side-by-side) rather than horizontal (i.e. one on top of the other)?

                                        Here’s an example of the split screen not running at full width on Black Ops 3

                                        And here’s how it used to look on Black Ops 1: https://youtu.be/lnF2W-e7e8Q

                                          Wow, this is terrible.
