Vosty3's Round-table, R.I.P. Dio.

The world needs more assassins in miniskirts!
 

    Listening to the CoD Black Ops wishlist videos linked below, I couldn't help feeling that the participants in the roundtable sounded a bit douchey. I've seen videos of how well these guys play, and all the supposed flaws in Modern Warfare 2 don't seem to cramp their style all that much. Maybe it's because I'm an avowed camper and that they all seem to be very down on campers of all stripes that torques me out. It seems that all of these guys want the game to favor only their own play style and skill level and screw everyone else. It seems particularly insane to complain about death streaks - you get them after dying four times, fer cripe's sake! There's entirely too much "get skilz or dont play" in the upper levels of the CoD gaming community. While I admire their ability to game at that level, when they moan and bitch like that it makes me want to cockpunch them back to reality - down here where millions of mediocre players like me have to live.
    FPS games already appeal to a very narrow audience of gamer. While their discussion brings up some very good points, it makes me wonder whether MW2 would have reached this level of success without all of those over-the-top features they're complaining about. Plus, as I've said before, in team-based play modes, if you play with a full crew, their bitch points don't really seem to matter very much. If your team sucks so bad that one inexperienced player with a lucky care package causes you to lose, you deserve to lose. End of line.

    Vosty3 has asked ThatGuyWhoCamps to put together a 4-part round-table discussion with promiment CoD YouTube directors for a session of brainstorming on what would make Call of Duty: Black Ops' multiplayer most successful: Part 1; Part 2; Part 3; and Part 4. It's an interesting discussion, for the most part. It rehashes a lot of common complaints about perks, killstreaks, and equipment in Modern Warfare 2. Speaking as a distinctly mediocre (and campy) player, I think most of the bitching is overblown. Plus, what do complaints from highly accomplished players really mean? How many of the people who shelled out their $60 are uber-players? If MW2 had depended on these super-skilled individuals for its revenue, it would never have gotten off the ground. My own current aversion to MW2 is based on most of my former gaming crew moving on to other games, not because I think the ARs have too much recoil or because Commando's lunge range is too long. On to the CoD links:
