Is â€˜Thisâ€™ What COD Games Have Digressed To?

COD games have almost always been of the ‘run and gun’ type. It’s now just a shame how people will do anything to get enough kill-streaks by “camping their asses off”. There’s a place for that, but not the way people play NOW. Many games which developers are putting out are not what many of us ‘mature players’ are seeking. Favoritism is going to those who know nothing about ‘team-play’ and tactics IMO. I ‘used’ to say that, ‘Camping is a Weapon‘ and that ‘Camping is a Strategy‘…But to those who’ve heard me say that, let me remind you that I was referring to gameplay where there was the goal of ‘protecting a bomb’ like in Demolition and etc. The way people camp on a totally ‘run and gun’ gameplay is not a strategy, it’s a means to acquire killstreaks quickly-enough to enable and call in total chaos of advanced weaponry and airstrikes (not to mention, Attack Dogs!) to overwhelm those who run out or run ‘inside buildings into traps’, and end the game at an unfair level.

But I shouldn’t even be talking about ‘fair’ regarding some of the latest games which have developed. I cannot believe what efforts are being put forth just to get a higher rank. What ever happened to earning medals and rewards for ‘Team-tactics’? Is getting an award for teamplay and helping a dying member by reviving him, too much to ask? It would definitely turn the tides towards people who want ‘medals’, to change their style of play to a more ‘team-oriented’ fashion. It would be a START as opposed to the way people play video games now.

This song ‘Call of Duty: Black Ops: Camper Song by BrySi Bieber‘, sums things up quite accurately. So I’ll share it with you because it tells my story much better than words could ever do ~ lol:
