Every Call of Duty release comes with its fair share of problems. Ninja, in his blunt but accurate manner, points out the recurring pattern of emotions that players go through.
On October 9th, Ninja predicted that the new CoD would be plagued with glitches and cheaters upon its launch. However, he acknowledges that despite these issues, the gunplay and mobility will still be enjoyable, leading players to overlook the game’s flaws.
Ninja’s criticism extends to the Call of Duty community, who repeatedly fall for the hype surrounding each new release. He describes them as “disgusting, mentally abused players” who continue to have high hopes despite past disappointments.
While Ninja’s choice of words may not be polite, his observation is undeniably accurate. The same complaints arise with every Call of Duty game release. In the case of the latest installment, Battle Rage is severely broken, even after recent adjustments made during the beta phase. Reports of cheaters with jailbroken consoles have also surfaced, and the PC version has yet to be released. With so many bugs just before the November launch, it seems unlikely that Sledgehammer will be able to fix them all in time.
The Golden Law of Call of Duty is simple: the game is always just a few tweaks away from being good again. Unfortunately, these tweaks are rarely addressed promptly, and by the time the game reaches a satisfactory state, it’s already time for the next annual release.
If you’re still playing Call of Duty after more than a decade, you know what you’re getting yourself into. Expect no significant changes, and you’ll find excitement in the few alterations that do occur. Managing your expectations for this franchise is crucial for preserving your sanity.
