As for just now i agree that it is getting a bit boring, for me no game has really carried on the standerd that COD 4 left, don't get me wrong i think COD 5, MW2 and Black Ops are brilliant games but i just don't feel they have WOWed me like COD 4 did. I just hope whoever makes the next COD can spice things up a bit, add things that we've never seen before and make proper servers for a change.
Yeah, I know what you mean.
It was WW2, WW2, WW2, Boom in comes Modern Warfare and everyone wass amazed at its unique-ness and new take on the classic WW2 franchise.
Now its exactly the same thing with the newer CoDs,
Modern, WW2, Modern, Modern, __CoD8__ We need a new type of CoD. That is what will impress the community. But not Space. ANYTHING but Space.
They should go further in time back PAST WW2 and date it the times with the British invading India in the 19th Century and the American Civil War. That would make for an EPIC FPS.
Call of Duty needs change and ingenuity for it to survive the ever-changing world of gaming. Games that pip the spot for GOTY above all the others is that they are all unique,
Think about it:
GOTY 2007: CoD4 (had a unique take to modernized warfare. Something that had never been done before.)
GOTY 2008: LittleBigPlanet (Again, unique. the sense of creating anything and making your own games was one of the key aspects to this game.)
GOTY 2009: Uncharted 2 (Such a perfect sequel to its predecessor. Great visuals and amazing storyline, this is one of the games that proves that unique-ness isn't the only thing you can use to achieve GOTY.)
GOTY 2010 (My Prediction) I think it will be close, but I think Red Dead Redemption will top it. It has a unique setting and it has some great DLC packs, plus it had a zombie add-on which looks like real fun (I haven't personally got the game fyi.)
Thanks for reading (took me a while to voice my opinion over!)
