Well ill start off by saying this. I love playing the old Console games as ive been playing console games since I was 6. I love the PS1, PS2, N64 emulators etc. Love them. I even own a PS2 and 2 PS3's. Oone PS3 is for genuine online gaming, the other,..well not so legitmate. That aside i love console games.

HOWEVER!

For me personally an FPS game is played on PC, its at a faster pace and theres something that you cant get on Console. Twitch Players. I was a Speed sniper in CoD2 like ive said umpteen times but I wa a twitch shooter too. I seen someones head, I twitched and boom his heads gone. You cant have that on the Console because no matter how high the sensitivty is, its still not PC.

Fair enough the CoD Series on Console is awesome and works great but it fails on PC. Every PC is different unlike consoles whosspecs are all the same if not slightly different in minor area's.

The reason COunter Strike as a series maintain the number #1 online spot for FPS was simple. No Bullsh!t air strikes etc etc. If you were good, you were good! all up for debates about this but the Devs are c0cknockers in my opinion.

Im inclined to agree with practically everything your saying people. I mean back in CoD2 [2005], you spawned away from the action all the time, so instantaneous spawn **** didnt exist.

from MW2+ the CoD series are Console games brought over to the PC imo.

Im actually installing CoD2 at the moment. Im fed up of relying on someone elses connection.

With regards to our opinions, the gamers opinions falling on deaf ears or of course, deffo. I mean if they actually listened to the PC gamer we would have one hell of a game.

An FPS in my opinion isnt what Call of duty is today. Its so over encumbering. People can actually sit in a corner and get insane k/d ratios.

You know, nearly 2000 Views and your the only person who replied lol.

I dont know what there doing. Im after a good 40 minute session there of CoD MW3, there was the odd wallhacker but WH as a cheat is crappy really.

What gets my goat is the fact I had the drop on guys and shot, yet I died split seconds later,....why.... lag. very irritating like.

hello everyone.

So before I get into the post id like to say that I've been playing the CoD series right back to the first game that was released. When CoD2 was released in 2005 in my opinion the series was in it's Golden Days, though some will disagree.

CoD2 was the series high point in my opinion.

No perks, no kill streaks, no death streaks, no attachments. In otherwords no crap no BS. When you played a lot, you got good, when you were good, you owned.

I can also say that I was a speed sniper [scoped], i was one of the first people to use the 'Jumping Head shot' trick over walls and boxes and cars and stuff, I know I was because I played everyday for hours at a time, yes I was addicted, could you blame me. . . .

CoD3 was released and was more or less a flop, when CoD4 aka MW1 was released this was indeed a good game, you had to work for the Killstreaks. Though it seen the introduction of Attachments, Perks, Kill Streaks etc etc. Though it wasnt over bearing.

However after this point the game in my opinion starts to decline.

MW2 was released, its brother MW3 also didnt help the franchise. Why? you may ask.

1 simple thing - Hosting. "It worked good for console's so lets bring it over to PC" is what the probably said. I played MW2 ALOT and to the point where I got quite good but again the Host system didnt work. No 2 PC's are alike unlike Consoles of course.

Black Ops 1 which was released after MW2 seen the re introduction of Dedicated Servers, this was nice as a matter of fact but again it seen the introduction of More Crap, aka what I said above. So the game was basically, you get spawn camped Via Kill Streaks, nades, you know the drill.

In fact its down right maddening.

It's one thing If I was playing bad due to my own faults and lack of skill but this wasnt the case.

Lately I've gone back playing MW3 as a mate bought it and wanted comapny. I have lost count the amount of times I had the drop on a guy, and he all of a sudden goes form standing straight to prone in literally a flash.

Now not even a full year after MW3 they release ANOTHER game.

maybe some one can tell me what there trying to accomplish other then creating Cash Cows and not creating a game for the Gamers.

Ive been a Console Game since I was 6 years old, and started gaming on PC's when i was 15. Some games I prefer on Console and other games such as most FPS's I prefer on PC, personal preference and all that.

Now that my little rant is over, ill end it on this.

MW2,BO,MW3 have so much potential but have been wasted. especially MW2 and MW3.

Your thoughts?
