We finally got the forum up, I know COD6 is a long way away, but there are already some members in the forum talking. Stop by and signup when you get a chance.

Not 5 minutes after making my “I hate Treyarch” rank/cry/complaint post, I stumpbled upon a post on the CODboards about Promod being canned because of how bad WaW has been coded and supported by Treyarch. Basically the game sucks so bad the Promod developer threw his hands up and said F it. He, like many of us, is now patiently waiting for COD6

Here are some of his quotes:

“I gave it a decent bash and thought it would work”

“The Call of Duty 5 project initially had potential - but a sequence of problems caused by Treyarch such as the appalling BETA and stock game, useless patches for the competitive gameplays needs, the announcement of Call of Duty MW2 by Activision, etc.

The game as it stands, I believe, would have had hope - and isnt bad to play fully modded (I do believe fully modded it is better than CoD4 - but im not a big fan of CoD4 any more :p) - its not going to be a competitive game even matching the scene of CoD2 though”

Here’s the thread: http://www.codboards.com/showthread.php?s=8500f6b1a98c5cc258f8059be88a39e6&t=28924

So once again Treyarch, congratulations on F’ing up one of the most anticipated games of the year. You idiots damn near F’d up as bad as Rockstar.

Sometimes I wonder if I’m in the minority when it comes to hating Treyarch. I haven’t been to a COD forum for sometime now, last time I was on one everyone had just found out Treyarch was making COD5 and they were expressing their disgust not only for Treyarch but for WW2 as well. It was pretty clear the community wanted another modern warfare, I wonder whos idea it was to basically say FU to the community and make another WW2 theme against the majority of our wishes?

You may be asking “what’s your beef with cod5?” Allow me to name a few of the things off…

1. After updating the servers list, you have to actually close down the game and reload it otherwise you can’t enter a server because of the famous “server authentication error”. I can see having some bugs when the game first comes out, but the game has been out now for months and the browser is STILL broken. What kind of preschool company would allow such a huge bug to remain without patching it?
2. The sound. I think no explanation is needed.
3. Search & Destroy can’t determine the actual winner. Say you’re playing S&D to 7 and one team has 7 and the other has 0, if the losing team wins the final match they win the whole thing. Perhaps this is something that should have been fixed in the first patch? I mean no rush, just one of your game modes is completely broken, take your time Treyarch.
4. Auto-climb was annoying in COD4 but it was just something everyone had to accept. In COD5 you CONSTANTLY find yourself getting hung up on stupid crap. For example sometimes you will be running through a field and all the sudden your forward movement stops and you’re trying to figure out what’s happening only to look down and see you’re “caught” on a little rock or stick. In COD4 this isn’t a problem because the game would simply let you walk over or around this small object.

I could go on but what’s the point? Treyarch doesn’t care because they’re too busy counting the money they made off of us. What about Activision? You think they will reward Treyarch with another COD title after this one? I would hope not. They should have never taken the rights away from IW to begin with. Why would you look at the huge sucess of COD4 and then turn around and give the next title dev rights to Treyarch after IW did such a good job?

I should say that it’s not ALL bad from Treyarch. They added the friends option which is cool. The prestige option like COD4 consoles had was cool until the power rank servers came out which totally ruined the whole idea. Other than those two thinks I can’t honestly say I like anything else about it. I’ve already become sick of COD5 and gone back to COD4. Bad part is I installed Windows 7 yesterday and found out that COD4 and Windows 7 don’t get along so I’m forced to play COD5. It’s actually Punkbuster that doesn’t work with Windows 7 but don’t even get me started on how worthless Punkbuster is, they’re worse than Treyarch.

EDIT:

I gotta give credit when it’s due, the second patch for WaW certainly seems to have fixed a ton of problems. Funny enough they fixed the power up exploit which I never took advantage of, now I have to start at rank 1 when I decide to reinstall(just reformatted windows).

I know this is supposed to be a COD6 site, but I figured why not sneak a COD5 video in? I made this video the first week COD5 came out of BETA. Some decent shots in there.

So the forum is now up. It’s empty right now except for my welcome post, I’ll start posting this weekend and add a new design/skin to it. I always hate when a forum is just starting out because I have to make multiple accounts and have convos with myself to attract members and traffic…really sucks. But whatever, keep checking back and eventually it will have members.

I should be posting this stuff in the forums but I don’t have a forum setup yet. The site is being hosted on my servage account and I’d like to move it to my other hosting account because I don’t think servage will be able to handle it well. Although they hosted my battlefieldbadcompany.com site pretty damn well, even in peak traffic so maybe I’m just being paranoid. Maybe I’ll go ahead and set the forum up tonight if I get time?

So anyway, what are some guns you’d like to see added or removed from Call of Duty 6? I don’t really care if they add any guns and the only gun I would hate to see go is the AK47. When I was a COD noob I always hated the AK but as time went on and I got better and started playing with better players I noticed 75% of them use the AK. So I gave the AK a second chance and realized it really is the best assault weapon in the game. The only downfall of the AK is the kick, it kicks pretty hard so it’s hard for new players to control and they automatically assume it has bad aim.

The LMG’s + deep impact perk can get sort of annoying on HC servers, but I don’t know if I’d go as far as removing them. Perhaps just change the way the walls and trees react to bullets. I wish they would make the 50cal sniper a little better too. You notice the big sniper rifle in COD5 is really nice compared to it’s COD4 counterpart?

If they made the M16 fully auto in COD6 and left the power as it is now it would be F’ing murder. I was at CompUSA last week and my friend was playing COD4 SP at the demo PC and I saw the G3 is fully auto in single player? I had no idea! I’ve never played single player in COD4, I usually never play single player mode unless the internet happens to go out or something.

So what guns would you like to see added? I’m not a big gun junkie so I don’t know some of the less popular types of guns. I’ve shot AK’s and little 45 handguns, a desert eagle, and a shot gun or two, but I don’t know enough to be like “oh they should add the blah blah M775 Clip Gun X”. Hell, I didn’t know what a G3 or P90 was till I played COD4 lol

So let’s say you can add one thing to the upcoming Call of Duty game, what would it be? It can be anything from characters to game modes or guns or anything else.

I’d like to see bigger maps added, much larger maps in fact with more of a strategy based setup where players have to actually communicate with one another and follow a mission. For example most of the maps are too small for tanks, planes, or vehicles. Most are too small for good sniping too. Imagine if the maps were like 10x bigger than they are now. You could have more people and lots more options.

It would also be nice to see something done about the rank hacking. In COD5 you can rank from lvl1 to lvl65 in literally 5minutes. There should really get this under control. I was working hard on my rank when COD5 first came out and then I lost ALL of my rank.

Post your ideas in the comments and be patient because I have to approve each comment before it can be seen due to idiots spamming the comments.
