Rumour: Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Prequel

[Garrett x50 cal]

@trevor Opinions! CoD 2, MW1, Black Ops and MW2 all have amazing stories.
Now I'm not saying PLAY STORY EVERYDAY ON VET! I hate it when these "MLG l33t pros don't even bother with it in the slightest.

:O

That's clever! Who'd have thought that my opinion was an opinion? Thanks for pointing that out.

I liked Modern Warfare's story, but Modern Warfare 2's story was a rushed-out piece of garbage. They took every gimmick they had in CoD4 and basically just doubled it. No nuance, no intrigue. The stories to begin with are pretty boilerplate military fiction. I will also say that I thought Black Ops's story was by far the most interesting. But, if you want a good story in an action game, Call of Duty is not the best place to find it.

However, I'm not talking about the story. I'm talking about the gameplay. It is quite obvious that the single player game environment is engineered from the starting point of the multiplayer. The game's combat style is simply not suited for the type of environment and AI that the single player game has, demonstrated by the fact that the developers saw the need to allow the game to practically aim for you. Additionally, the way the game is often kept afloat by gameplay gimmicks littered throughout the missions makes me often feel like I'm in a long, extended cutscene.

I really don't know who you're talking about when you say "MLG l33t pros", because it seems like you're not actually referring to anyone. But you seem to have quite the personal investment in the way others play what is, essentially, glorified and popular shovelware.

That's funny, because the last three Call of Duty games have some of the lowest-quality single player gameplay I've ever seen.

You seemed to be saying that as a fact.

MW2 Story is my 3rd favorite, re-playable missions and they had some pretty shocking twists imo. Black ops was extremely interesting. I know CoD isn't the Single player standard that's not was I was trying to solicit.

The "gimmicks" are to make the game interesting instead of just going from A to B shooting people. My definition of a "MLG l33t pro" is the kind of people who devote themselves to mulitplayer and mulitplayer only. I know multiple people who only play CoD 4, WaW, Black Ops, MW2, and other FPS without ever touching the single player experiences of any of the games.

What?

Qualitative descriptions are almost always opinions. And I'm really getting bewildered at how many people seem to think that my opinions are somehow claimed to be fact.

Whaat. The only real twist I remember in MW2 was that a main character died. Then they did that two more times.

Yes, but largely scripted events are a poor substitute for a comparable time spent in solid gameplay. Call of Duty has to break it up because the game otherwise does get incredibly dull and repetitive.

Makes me sick when people play cod only for mulitiplayer.

Quoting limited to 4 levels deep

According to the internet very few aren't. The only to get it I think is to do it all in one go.

I actaully skipped rebirth island using 3arc unlock and i still got the the trophy when i revisited the level....

You just said trophy... 360 is the one with the problem I think.

No, PS3 has the same problem. I eventually unlocked them all when I sat down on a snowy day and just ran through campaign on Vet/Hardened.

@Anime: If you beat the other mission and then revisit that, it'll unlock.

MW2 had the worst campaign really. The only exciting part was fighting Russian Soldiers in America, and even they it was kinda boring.
