      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.

      No one cares about playing CoD for campaign anymore lol. The multiplayer this time isn’t a fucking nightmare of being aimbotted by idiots with no thumbs on controller and an extreme manipulative matchmaking that gives you three games against kids with cerebral palsy and then five games of nothing but omegasweats using meta weapons.

      Meanwhile, Arc Raiders has AI voice acting and BF6 has the worst hit detection I’ve ever seen in an FPS. People really think they can compete with CoD and then proceed to fumble the ball every time, and those are ALSO anti-consumer practices.

        I do…and many others do too if the game itself wasn’t such a pile of shit forcing you online because ‘its where the fun is’… I love campaigns in shooters. online play is trash unless I can play with ONLY my friends. it’s one of the main reasons I stopped paying for the garbage that they keep producing and don’t consider these companies at entertainment more then I would scraping dog shit off my shoes

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

              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.

            I don’t think there are any single player military shooters anymore… at least not that come to mind. I think COD drove them all out of business… Phase 1 of Enshittification.

              There are many single player scenarios for arma. On top of the ones that are in the game.

              It’s still a decent game.

              I can point to you several other games, many of them shooters, that are singleplayer. Like, you have the three modern DOOM games and ULTRAKILL just as an example. And like, you don’t NEED to have it be new games? You can just buy old singleplayer military FPSes?? Like, just looking at my library, I have Arma: Cold War Assault, Red Alert 2: Heroes of Stalingrad, every Bioshock game, Half-Life 1 and 2, Black Mesa, Medal of Honor (2010), Crysis 2, Spec Ops: The Line…

                Operation Harsh Doorstop is good for a military shooter, of which I’ve played in the past. It’s free to play too if I’m not mistaken (and the modding scene for it is quite fantastic as well).

                By the same argument, why not just play last year’s CoD? It’s not really fun playing the same campaign over and over unless you’re a speedrunner or something. I want new single player experience, just like I want new TV shows and movies. I don’t have time to stay competitive in any online multiplayer games, and it seems like the only ones making single player games anymore are indie devs.

      It’s so puzzling, you can have any world you want in a video game, absolutely fantastical places to explore and take your mind off things and be intuitive and solve puzzles, there is way too much violence in the world already, I really will never get it.

    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.

        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?

          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)?

    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.

    Hell, does the average Call of Duty player even play the campaign anymore? I thought it was all multiplayer these days.
