YUP. FANBOYS
We ALL hate them (at least I think we all do). I'm no fanboy myself (at least I don't think I am, you decide as you read this rant), but I am a man with opinions that are backed up sometimes by fact.
Recently there's been a surge of fanboys concerning one video game.
Can you guess what it is?
THAT'S RIGHT!!!
IT'S MODERN WARFARE 3!!!
I've seen forums and YouTube videos of this game, and there's just SO much talk about it. There's talk about how the MP is gonna be, how the campaign is gonna be. Personally, I can't wait for the campaign. It's the SOLE REASON, why I decided to pre-order this game. OH BUT WHAT ABOUT THE MULTIPLAYER?!?
NO. FUCK THAT. And my reasons why.
I remember the day when Black Ops came out, everybody on my friends list was on that game practically every day, but for like, what, 3-5 months? Now, <6, maybe <10, people on my friends list/day play that game. I know Black Ops has zombies, but I don't see most of my friends playing that. They play the bland, boring multiplayer instead. Why is it bland and boring you ask? If you have a brain and/or if you're not someone, I guess, less than 16 years of age, you KNOW that CoD has been getting stale. That reason is why many of my friends have abandoned that game.
I understand that CoD is something you can enjoy with friends (sometimes), but it's the same experience every time. From my experience, everyone uses the same damn tactics, the same damn guns, the same damn perks, the same damn EVERYTHING. ALMOST NOTHING HAS CHANGED. My first real hold of the CoD franchise was with CoD4. At that time I was about 14-15 (18 now) and I thought it was one of the best shooters I've played ever (but nothing beat Star Wars Battlefront 1 and 2. RIP 3 ='( ). At it's time, it was one of the most fun shooters out there. Players had variety at the time, which is why it was fun. Soon, it started going downhill. In my complete honest opinion, I blame zzirGrizz. Yes, the man with a badass sniper montage that managed to catch EVERY CoD player's eye and inspired EVERY FUCKING player to live by the sniper was one of the factors that ruined the CoD franchise and CoD4 (and yes I followed what he did, but quit soon after). Because of his skill with the sniper, every player wanted to mimic that, and so they did. You'd only see sniper montages in YT, which at the time were cool, but they became boring and unentertaining to watch. You'd be in multiplayer lobbies where at least every player is using a sniper class. IT PISSED ME OFF. Not only the sniper, but retarded classes too, which i'll mention next.
When MW2 hit, EVERYONE played the game like crack, including me. I was starting to love CoD again after the disaster that was W@W, which in my opinion, was ruined by lag and the use of vehicles. Not too long after MW2 released, the game started to get ridiculous. I remember the use of Akimbo Model 1887's. That gun was one of the most OVERPOWERED guns I've ever encountered in my history of gaming. You could kill someone 20ft away with a FUCKING SHOTGUN. A SHOTGUN. A gun that's meant for CQC and crowd control ONLY. Not for running and gunning like an SMG or at sometimes an Assault Rifle. Then the Javelin Glitch appeared, which annoyed the FUCK out of everyone because of its large as hell splash damage. Then we got 10th prestige lobby messages and all that annoying crap. People making money out of a damn video game using hacks. Really? You have to be that desperate to go that far to earn $20 bucks. Did I mention nukes? Yea, that ruined the game too. People would fucking camp the whole game trying to get a nuke, annoying the opposing team, and on some occasions, annoy their team as well since they're just camping and not going for the objective. I've also seen people boosting for nukes which makes no sense at all and it's pathetic as shit. Also, Commando. That RETARDED perk turns you into a fucking Abra or a Velociraptor. Why? Abra because you get knifed from like 10ft away after watching that killcam. And Velociraptor because people would run a Tac Knife+Marathon+Lightweight class and start pouncing at people nonstop. My favorite one of them all though? ONE MAN ARMY+DANGER CLOSE+TUBES. That shit was the easiest and most annoying way to kill a person EVER. Lemme give you an example, Domination on any map. The one with the main flag and the B flag practically wins the match. Someone catching B flag? Camp near the flag and bust out a tube and blow them to smithereens and just repeat over and over again til you win. Yep. You just won the game by using one of the most cheapest and one of the most abused tactics ever in gaming.
Those reasons alone made me hate MW2. Hate it so much, I sold that piece of shit because it was just so unbalanced and just not fun for the average gamer. I bet you're probably asking yourself, "What does this rant have to do with fanboys?" Simple. The majority of these players praise and buy these games even though they're broken/boring as hell. And you know who makes up this majority? Uncultured gamers and teenage/underage gamers (at least in my opinion). And by uncultured, I mean those that don't see beyond what the game and what other games have to offer (Ex. CoD fanboys not touching any other shooter other than CoD, etc.). And you know most teenage/underage kids haven't fully developed and will praise anything they find "cool" and "trendy" and will live by it til they mature.
Long rant short, fanboys need to broaden their tastes. They are idiots for defending something they think is the best and bashing something they think is shit. Keep the fanboyism up, get slapped like a bitch. I've been in that path before, and looking back, I feel like an idiot.
Don't like the fact that what I'm saying about CoD is true?
