Infinity Ward didn't make CoD 3. But you said "those 4". Explain what features you liked from Classic CoD games that are missing the modern games. |
Right, right, right - that was my mistake in the way I worded it
In a nutshell: Classic CoD games had authentic gameplay, immersive experience, and interesting varied mission types. But most importantly (for me at least): the level of research that went into classic CoD games was extremely high. Infinity Ward used to know that realism depends on more than just graphics. They actually hired military historians as consultants and interviewed WWII vets about their experiences for the first few if I remember correctly. This made the games feel authenic. This high level of research carried on in CoD 4:MW and it shows. But it was all downhill from there and now the games have devolved into annual, mediocre, Michael Bay-esque multiplayer games - because Activision knows that sells.
Keep in mind this is all my opinion though - I value the level of dedicated research and realism the first 4 had (I played CoD up to CoD:BO and then stopped).

Games can and should tell stories and share ideas through their mechanics. This is the intrinsic element of the medium and this is how experiences should be crafted in video games. No company does this as well as Nintendo and their echoes from the past.
