And that's exactly what I do, I play offline locally with friends in the living room :)
Multiplayer is meant to be played this way :lol:

Couch multi 4 lyfe, my man!
This is exactly why I bought my wiiU. Nintendo have the best couch multiplayer games bar Mario Party 9/10, which are a disgrace to even Mario :(

I don't feel as though PlayStation and Xbox can compete in that regard.

Also, online communities almost all have a pretty shitty community once you get to a certain size. People play what's still popular, and you can't stop that.

More duty? The last duty was so advanced that we had to call in the Black ops, twice! We actually thought this duty was a Ghost at first, but it turned out to be 3X more Modern than the last duty, one would say it was Advanced duty. But the point is, there's just too much duty.

Saying that a game is bad because its community is bad is like saying your steak tastes bad because the waiter was rude - one has nothing to do with the other. Activision can't wave a magic wand and change its community, their job is to release quality games that are liked by their fans and they seem to be doing just that.

Though I agree there are ways to mitigate it (ones that are trivial to do and do actually work) I do have to say there is a school of thought that says the community is the product of the game. There are a few games that do manage it but the real world probably works better for this -- around here there is basically no engineering culture/feeder companies/people, prominently among those that do exist are people that would probably bill for the water in the piss that they used to put our their burning grandmother, from a fire started when they knocked over a candle, however they are generally tolerated because they are still a net improvement over nothing. Games like this can do similar things -- if you manage to draw fire for even a second you would improve the team's odds, assuming the score does not reflect that (think capture the flag or something, or even a more enlightened score system). When everybody counts in some small way then it does rather tend to improve manners.

Another one I won't buy. They may as well just charge £40 and chuck out a dozen or so maps as add ons to the last games. Its gotten much too samey and stale. I'd probably sit up and take notice when they revisit WW2. The modern COD's don't do it for me. I like the settings of the 40s etc. When or if they go back to that period then I will buy my next COD instalment. I still think COD 2 and 3 are the most fun ones to play.

dae COD sux xddd

I hate teasers because they give out nothing of the game, except that it's in progress. And with a franchise as famous as Call of Duty, it's something you expect already. Wake me up when they'll show some trailer.

Also, local FPS multiplayer? Sure thing. Let me just watch your part of the screen real quick so I can find where you are, while I try to find my own <8'' portion of the screen. If anything, I liked that thing 3D TVs have that allow you to play full screen with different 3D lens.

I liked the first Black Ops and thought Black Ops II was alright, so I may check this game out. I wonder what sort of sneeki breeki weaponry we will see this time around? I'd love to see crossbow bolts that set enemies on fire or ballistic knives that fires explosive blades.

I'm yet to read one good argument that proves CoD games aren't - most people complain about the community rather than the game proper which is nonsense. CoD games are solid modern shooters, I quite enjoy them myself.
Ghosts was broken. Let's be honest. I enjoyed Advanced Warfare and Black Ops 2. I'm sure I'll enjoy 3, as well.

Treyarch might be the best CoD developer right now in the opinion of most people but they still suck horrendously.
When Black Ops 2 came out most people called the game the worst in the series but now the best since the last 2 CoDs have been even shittier. How was that even possible? BO2 sucks bad with lag, crappy hit detection, quick scoping and oh well, the list goes on. xD
The CoD cycle is real, the newest one is always the worst. Let's wait for the bitching about BO3 shall we? BO2 ruined CoD for me with Treyarch's bullcrap (like mentioned above). Quitting this franchise is one of the best decisions ever!
