The 2009/10 FPS Craze

In late 2009, a sequel to Call of Duty 4 was released, called Modern Warfare 2. It sold a ridiculous amount of copies on day 1, and guess what my take on the game is: It sucked. A lot. I compare games with people, and the only thing they can give me to support how good a game is, is by telling me it sold 10 million copies the day it was released. That just means people are stupid. Such an answer is meaningless. Modern Warfare 2 was a mistake.



It had a lackluster story full of confusing moments, and the multiplayer was "Improved" with the bullshit lobby system called "IWNet" It completely removes the server list system that's worked so damn well for us the past 10 years and puts us in whatever servers they want, which usually have around 200~300 ping. This tells me that gaming is dying, if not already dead, now that companies are taking these bullshit ideas that fill people with rage and calling it "Innovative."

What has happened to the gaming industry I liked, when it was about making great games and a few million dollars along the way? Now it's all about milking things to hell and making all the money they can without giving a damn about the gamers.
