It just occurred to me that Frank Underwood loves FPS games. Did somebody say "product placement/metatextual cameo"?

Also great to see CoD breaking new ground with an Evil PMC plot, a plot never before seen ever in a video game, ever.

Thank You Card posted:Who plays CoD for the creativity? CoD4 and Black Ops were both pretty original settings when those games came out. The only thing that might get me interested in this as a setting is if they absolutely go for broke on the PMC angle and have all the factions in the plot be different mercenary companies. Like, national militaries don't even exist anymore in this world, it's all PMC's. That could be interesting, especially with multiplayer: you could have some mechanic where your profile is a PMC, and your custom classes are different mercs that work for it.

Black Ops' campaign is my vote for "best CoD ever", if only because they took the standard CoD campaign format (a series of unconnected missions with whacky poo poo going on) and made it make narrative sense.

BrandonGK posted:"We're making the protagonist a voiceless, personality-free cipher, only this time it's on purpose." On the other hand, that Blops's campaign was "we're doing CoD as usual, only this time it's on purpose" was its single greatest strength.

Wazzit posted:You must be referring to Sam Worthington. The only thing memorable about his performance was that in the Cuba mission he slipped back into his Australian accent for an entire line and nobody decided to do another take. I mean, his accent slips a lot in that game, more than it ever did in Avatar, but there's one line where it's like he's not even trying.

Jake Blues posted:What was the last FPS you recall playing that included a gun that fired lasers? C&C Renegade?(2002) Star Wars Dark Forces?(1995) Pretty sure about half the guns in Halo 4 shoot lasers.

Troy Baker is how game developers say "gently caress characterization".

Shnakepup posted:Eh? I thought he was pretty good in Bioshock Infinite and The Last Of Us. He isn't bad, it's that he's Grizzled White Male voice actor du jour, and his casting almost always signifies a complete lack of characterization in the game.

Blue Raider posted:I can't tell if you're seriously talking about characterization in a CoD thread. Sorry I'm being a bit opaque, apparently the cast of AW was leaked to IMDB and Troy Baker is the player character.

This game looks boring as gently caress. The enemy AI just sorta stands there as you Titanfall Pilot through CODidors. I could not be less interested in this game after watching that trailer.
