Hi m8. How are you?

I think all games in a series suffer from this problem of lack of innovation. Even BF3, with it's brand new shiny engine doesn't really have that much going for it in terms of innovation in game play. Just more of the same that we've seen many times before in a battlefield game. In fact, take away the new engine, and BF3 only has 1 or 2 new innovations over what DICE have done previously.

Then again, when you look at any FPS game, what is it if it isn't "more of the same"? You got one guy trying to shoot the other guy with a rifle. That's about it, and its been that way for the last 15 years. Locations and time frames may change (from Doom - to - COD1 - to Battlefield 2142), but it is essentially all "more of the same".

Personally, I think it is good that COD sticks to its tried-and-tested forumla. I don't ever want to see drivable vehicles in COD, because I personally don't think vehicles have any place in an FPS where they can target infantry soldiers on the floor. The vehicles are just too over powered. Vehicle against Vehicle is fine, but not against foot soldiers.

I also love the close-quarter combat sytle of COD. It's one of its hall-marks and I don't ever want to see that changed.

I also think the perks and killstreaks are fine in moderation, but it is now getting to the stage where they are sticking in so many different types of them, that it's getting silly.

I am personally stoked that MW3 will be "more of the same". That way I know exactly what I am getting and don't have to take a gamble on it like I have done twice before this year, and the games turned out to be poo (Brink and Homefront). And best of all, we PC players get to play on dedicated servers, and will even be able to run our own servers from our own dedicated boxes because of the public server files.

what the game needs is a new engine, it should be totally open like pre-mw2 codgames with modtools and radiant, have different weapons and gear which is all balanced, and some new creative and fun gamemodes. and good maps.

and I don't want vehicles. they were fun to joke around in, in coduo, but in like bc2 I don't like the vehicles.

Well, no one is forcing you to buy the game if it's getting to monotonous for you. Moreover, IW/TA are in a catch-22: If they change too much, people will complain it doesn't feel like cod; if they don't change enough, people will complain it's just more of the same.

Homefront actually has a good idea, but wrapped in genericness and bad quality. I know CoD devs will never do it and most fans don't want any real change. I've actually written a topic about it on our site a week ago. I would like to see the Homefront idea succeed, but remove the generic soldier clones and *boring maps (*a problem with BF3 also).

What I would really like to see is some Perfect Dark gameplay implemented. I like how all of the weapons had unique, secondary uses to them.  I haven't seen gameplay and ideas like that since the year 2000. If it was, the game couldn't be called Call of Duty anymore, that's for sure. I used to love Unreal, but it doesn't move forward anymore.

Maybe it's time for a new game with that fast pace action but without the title Call of Duty in it. If something is new and tried out in CoD that changes the gameplay some, the fans will start bashing it saying it's no longer CoD. That seems to be the biggest problem.

When I first thought of MW2's multiplayer in my head, I thought of being on a Snow map where you could go in a hole in ice on the ground and swim to a location where an enemy would be, come up out of the water and stab them from behind. I also thought about the snowmobiles being able to be used for transport. I like weather effects also. small things like this wouldn't be accepted by the CoD fans and CoD will probably die because of it. People cried about tanks being in WaW.

Off Topic: A Star Wars Battlefront III would be badass hehe

Lack of real graphical changes?  Yes.  The game itself seems to have lots of changes.  Strike packages, gun proficiencies, etc.  The "feel" will be the same, but its CoD, not a new series, so Im fine with that.

Think about it:

I was talking to a fellow guild mate about this same subject today:

Going just off of Infinity Ward made games:

CoD1 & 2 did not have very much to them. It was a shooter with guns people and maps. That's pretty much it.

Now CoD4 brought a whole new world to the game: CUSTOMIZATION!

Answer me this: does adding customization to a game ruin a game? DONT ANSWER YET. Think first.

Every game in history WITHOUT customization, for the most part, people loved to play. Today, mostly all games that have customization in them, people do not like them as much.

Coincidence...or not?

I think they should add new kill streaks. Like they have in mercenaries. Cruse missiles to take down buildings, air support choppers to take out enemy planes/choppers, and bunker busters to take out ppl that hide in shelters.
