I am not here to shit on a game that many members know and love. Believe me, I loved this game dearly. There were many nights where I stayed up all night and played all day the following day. This game was where it all started for many oNO members.
But come on guys, there are many members still playing it. I don't have a problem with this but what I do find annoying is the fact you refuse to give any other game a chance.
I'll admit the Call of Duty franchise might not be the best made games ever. I don't even like them that much but the game doesn't have to be great to have a fun time on it. For the oNO guys who missed it, we all had a great time on Call of Duty for one simple reason, we were still all playing together! Rfom your playing with a small community, there is no big parties anymore. Where as playing Call of Duty we had many fun times playing custom games and private games when we weren't raping in ranked. The Call of Duty games have loads of fun mini games to play in private games. There is nothing wrong with playing with old friends on rfom but why not join us on new games once in awhile? Your missing out on getting to know some great guys who I consider now more oNO than a lot of the old guys, I can barely remember some of the old guys because you refuse to get off rfom. Like do you even know who mrpixel or piddigee is? Just two of many new members who are great guys and really fun to play with and your missing out! Even if I don't like the game I will always follow the group onto new games because I know even if the game isn't fun I will still have fun playing it because I enjoy playing with oNO guys.
Listen Resistance was a great game and it's ok to play it but please give other games a chance. Were playing battlefield 3 now and it's great. We finally have our very own dedicated servers and it's so fun driving around in tanks and zooming around the air in jets, you might get raped for awhile until you get good at it but come on, is gaming really all about kd? I havent cared about kd since Resistance Fall of Man and I've never enjoyed gaming as much. And hey even if you don't enjoy the game just enjoy the fact your talking to some old friends again playing the game or enjoy the fact your meeting some cool new guys to game with!
After Resistance: Fall of Man died out people from the clan had to find a new game. The game that many people turned to was Call of Duty: Black Ops. A handful of oNO's led by For_Sure_ aka ProSniper_ moved onto BO and for the most part it was a great experience, or so we thought. We spent the year playing this game thinking it was great that the clan was finally playing together on a game again but I think it was for that reason we were blinded to the flaws of the game. We went from virtually no lag on Resistance to constant host migration on Black Ops when the host would rage quit and inevidably boot us all into the lobby screen and give us a loss to go along with it. Now I am definitly not a k/d whore but one thing I do like is a good win loss ratio because let's face it, no one plays to lose!
But at the time most of us enjoyed playing the game. Then after Black Ops we moved onto MW3, the build up to this game was huge and convinced many old rfom members to return to the clan for MW3. With the introduction of Call of Duty elite and aside from the start of MW3 the Call of Duty series was improving on the lag side of things.
With Call of Duty elite it finally gave the Call of Duty series a much needed clan system, taking years to implement this firstly was a mistake from COD but hey, better late than never! Another great feature of Elite was the clan operations which finally gave the game a bit more of a casual competive edge, most people don't want to play MLG games to feel like there competing so the clan operations were a nice touch. The year on this game was thoroughly enjoyable for most people and it showed by over 20 members of the clan reaching over 100,000 kills! But by the end of the year as with all Call of Duty games people were getting a bit tired of it.
Black Ops 2 was announced which got EVERYBODY excited. If Infinity Ward and Call of Duty Elite made that many improvements for their next installment surely Treyarch were going to learn from their mistakes and do the same? WRONG!
Now everyone shit on Black Ops 2 from the start but I was one of the people who tried to be patient with the game because it is a great game but the flaws of the people who run the game and series is what brings it down. The first thing I noticed with this game was ELITE, the clan system didn't work for ages and when they fixed it, it still looks horrible and confusing! Games are about bringing the clan together not driving them apart! Before I go further I would like to mention since MW2, Call of Duty releases top each other or equal each other more or less every year. When they broke the record for the highest earning and selling franchise in gaming they broke the record in the entertainment category. Let me clarify this, they out sold films, cds, books, everything. Now that's a lot of money. Plus the extra income they made from everyone signing up to premium on elite and do not get me started on DLC. Yeah they make a lot of money.
SO WHY NO DEDICATED SERVERS?
That sentance right there is why Call of Duty in my opinion is on it's last legs. I gave up playing Black Ops 2 becuase of the lag, slighly improved from the first Black Ops but still there. Some people still try to convince me there is no lag but there wrong, there blinded. Play BF3 on a dedicated server and then go back to Call of Duty and you will see the difference.
I tried for so long to stick with what really are great games in the Call of Duty series but I'm done with them purely for the fact that they do not listen to there fans and the one point the fans want them to listen to. DEDICATED SERVERS and no lag.
I started playing BF3 and the learning curve is steep, you will spend the first week getting owned by.. well you will get owned by everyone but in my opinion BF3 is a far better game. The community seems to be more mature, there is not as many people abusing the game by dashboarding, kd whoring and quickscoping compared to the Call of Duty series, rarely do I lag. In fact I can't remember ever lagging on this game. There is so many different ways to play this game because there's so many ways to use tonnes of different weapons and vehicles. It's the closest thing to a real life war simulator you will get in my opinion.It's just an overall great game with tonnes of replay value and especially if you rent your own server will bring you and your clan mates close mates gaming again! Now the game is not perfect but to conclude, you should trade in your slutty tramp games from the Call of Duty series and by the reliable wife material BF3!
