Cod shooters with gimmicky "abilities" fucking suck. No one is asking for them
Based on the fact that I see a lot of posts complaining about Call of Duty on the Threadiverse, I'd imagine that there are at least some people who would be interested in an alternative to CoD.
The thing is, there's not a lot you can do to be an alternative to cod, without it straying too far and just slowly dying like XDefiant. Cod is just too big to die, even when the games are actually just DLC, people buy buy buy.
The only alternative to cod that stands any chance is a remastered old cod. Ubisoft trying to battle cod was a blunder, but so is every decision at their headquarters recently.
I can’t stand anything but hardcore mode cod anyways.
Gunplay not bullet sponge is what I want.
I recommend everyone try out Hell let loose
Cod used to be whoever shoots first wins, it's a bit grim now with all the sliding and shit.
I'd recommend Squad over Hell Let Loose, if you want that hardcore team game.
If devs want to make an alternative to CoD, they need to make a fun single player FPS first and make a small but fun multiplayer component.
The problem is that publishers see the dollar signs from CoD and Fortnite and want to make a MP scam game without realizing that gamers only want to be scammed by Fortnite and CoD because they were actually fun before they became a scam.
