we were talking about why it had appeal in the main modes that are played online... TDM

imo the grind that is TDM is not fun at all, I'm asking him why he thinks others may find it fun.

you probably think they find it fun because the masses are stupid,
A lot of people who play the newer cods play with their friends, so it's a social thing. That's why it's fun to a lot of people.

Yup.  When my son's and friends play, it's practically just S&D and Domination.  They rarely play TDM.  It's a social thing, especially working as a team and owning randoms.  All about losing the second match so you can build up that kill streak, and let loose with the Blackbird, and helo's on round three.

Hopefully we'll get a 45.70 trapdoor gun that we can attach an under-slung grenade launcher to.

Dude, maybe you could like, but a red-dot-sight on that shit!

Or maybe, a tactical knife!

Or full metal jacket ammo. Even though FMJ is the standard ammo that is almost always the only ammo being used if it is in the realm of military/police weapons so why it is an attachment is beyond me but put that shit in anyway.

Also dual wielding with the shiva perk.

but see cod isn't really a game that supports teamwork.

It's a lot more fun to heavy-med in TF2 (as fucked up is TF2 is nowadays) then to run around as 2 people in CoD

well I think cod gets boring after a while because it simply lacks the ability to pull of things that require a lot of skill... when you killstreak it feels that you got lucky(ish), and it's easy to pull a 1:1 K/D just spraying randomly from the hip and following movement patterns like a bot.

I don't get how that's "fun" to people

the other game modes can be fun (both respawn headquarters/domination), but TDM is basically the standard cod game mode, the one that the game is designed around. and it sucks.

most commentary videos on YT are about TDM iirc.

CoD was designed around search and destroy, team deathmatch was an afterthought.

evidence please

if CoD4 was designed around the 5v5 S&D that is played so often in competitive matches, why are there killstreaks for 7 kills?

I know they carry over between rounds, it just seems like the evidence points to the fact that it was designed and balanced for TDM as opposed to S&D

cod4 wasn't the start of the franchise... you're talking with the authority as if you've played all of them (which you clearly haven't). call of duty on the pc has always been about search and destroy, the community has bound around it and pretty much every single public ladder/league has all ran on s&d format instead of tdm. the whole point of kill-streaks, properly, in s&d is that they are more tactical and more limited. in tdm it's shit because it's all so chaotic. s&d is much more controlled and refined.

and where are you getting it from that s&d is designed around 5v5?

5v5 is the most common S&D that is played in competitive matches, as far as I know.

Competitive matches are S&D, and it makes sense, as it's the most tactical gamemode.

yes CoD on the PC has traditionally been about S&D, but the first beta for CoD4 was on the 360

It was a more console game overall, and the shift in balancing and focus from S&D on the PC to TDM in on consoles seems evident.

I'm not denying that earlier games were balanced around S&D, I'm just arguing that CoD4 has more of an emphasis on TDM, more so than on S&D.

i played cod4 competitively and have bought every single cod game (much to the dent in my wallet's pride) since. i've played them.

and yeah, unnamed... right on! cod1/cod2 were the most popular fps games of their time/type on pc. way to go, soo underground!

lol, I wasn't hammering on CoD in general. I was just making fun of Modern Warfare. I think it would be a cool title, though.

I think that you think that postmodern is a term that applies to the philosophy, which is why you don't like newbie's name.

that still doesn't make any sense, at all. postmodern is a phrase that applies to the philosophy? i don't like newbie's name? pardon?

postmodern warfare doesn't make any sense... neither does underground ops.

and inferring any sort of link between postmodernity and hipsterism is another /facepalm.

how fucking lame can you get? it's awful hollywood kitsch; trivial tourist pastiche; making conventionality and predictability a design art.

also lol at the falling-over building and sprawling cinematics... it's basically ripped straight from battlefield 3's 'teaser' material.

if this is the direction the fps gaming industry is seriously heading in then i'm very, very disappointed

omg though at the twin towers and big ben and stuff! they're like totally non-fictional places!
