Black Ops 2: 10 Reasons CoD is No Longer the King of Online Multiplayer

1. It€™ll Essentially Be The Same as All of the Others

What are we on now, the fiftieth CoD game or something? And what€™s next? Call of Duty: Black Ops III, in the future, in space€ with laser cats? There are only so many times I can play essentially the same game with minor tweaks to the plot and weaponry before I€™m done for good. I€™m not saying that each one of these CoD titles hasn€™t been good, fantastic even, provided you€™ve committed yourself to playing them. But as I mentioned before, I€™ve been spoiled by the industry enough to crave something new from each game I play. I might be buying Black Ops II, and I might be playing it online, at least for a while. But if you€™d have asked me three years ago, I would have definitely been buying it, and definitely playing it online. The fact that essentially, when you boil it down, there€™s been little in the way of substantial difference (other than the console generation shift of course, which rejuvenated the franchise by making it ten time purtier). And there are too many games on the market that boast awesome online modes to mean that CoD, even with its huge community of dedicated fans, really is fighting for its position as the king of the online shooters. So there it is: ten reason CoD€™s online mode just ain€™t what it used to be. In agreement? Or did I wind you the f*ck up? Do let us know €
