Dgc1808 said: @Nightsurge I have to completely disagree with that "once you've played one you've played them all" like comment. Going from CoD4 to KZ2 required major adjustments. I was doing fine in CoD4. Rough start but during my last 3 months of playing that game I would always end matches with 1.8:1 or more K/D ratio. Killzone was a completely different game. I couldn't run and gun. I had to stay with others. An assault rifle, pistol, grenades and a purely rambo attitude didn't cut it any more. Also, defending objectives in KZ2 was usually more intense than pretty much anything i've witnessed in the over 3 weeks in total hours I've put into CoD4. Going from KZ2 to MAG, there experience felt a bit more Arcadey than like CoD4 but again, those that came in expecting cod4 like play never did aswel as everyone else that took the time to adapt to the game. |
I'm sorry if I was unclear. I did not mean to say that once you have played one you have played them all, I merely said once you are good at one, you are good at them all. I too played CoD4 and Killzone 2 and found it an easy adjustment. The only thing that took some adjusting was the close range combat was nearly impossible with the controls Killzone 2 used so you had to focus on staying a bit farther away and not rely on melee.
I also made it a point to stress that I was not talking about run'n'gun people in CoD. I was talking about the true skilled players that actually use teamwork rather than camp or run'n'gun.
I guess I do agree that the amount of change they put into MW2 to make it noob friendly was frustrating for me. I hate the way over-the-top auto-aim for example. I much prefer CoD4 gameplay to MW2 as its like they definitely made it focus more on run'n'gun and noob friendliness. And I guess I can see your point that if MW2 is the only FPS you have played and became good at, you may not be able to adapt and be good at other FPS games. I forget sometimes that not everyone has been playing FPS games for more than 5 years
