>stretched hudI hate how most people have no taste and prefer widescreen to 4:3 even in games without proper hud scaling
>>729618824most people are not autistsunfortunately
>>729616838I miss good ww2 single player campaigns.Sigh, it's time to replay cod2 again
>>729618956It's not even about autism, just looking at something and immediately being able to tell that it looks wrong.Guess I could have used the 16:9 aspect ratio for my hudless screens.Comfy CoD thread by the way. CoD 1, UO, 2, Medal of Honor Allied Assault and RTCW are still the best WW2 shooters, far above anything that came after. I marathon these every year.
>>729619410well yeah and that is because of the sound more than the graphics. Amazing how one of the core aspects of a video game experience was diluted in the current age.
>>729619410idtech 3 is such a good enginealso in retrospect, playing as a rank-and-file grunt was so much better than tactikool operators with mohawks and funky gearwhen I hear heroic phrases like "Call of Duty", "Brothers in Arms", "Medal of Honor", I'm not thinking about zombies, faze clan, weapon skins, snoop dogg, nicki minaj or beavis and butthead but stories about actual regular joes going to a war way bigger than themthank god two of these three franchises died before this happened to them
For me it's
>>729616838>no medkits on veteran>but the game allows you to savescumBad design.
>>729616838LUDO
>>729620503I love the PPSH. Heck of a shotgun.
>>729618824I don't see anything wrong with picrel, get with the times grandpa
>>729616838
>>729620791Wow. I can feel the pressure of war just by looking at this.
>>72962077071 rounds of semi automatic carbine goodnessthose ruskis sure can make a good gun thirty percent of the time
>>729620791are you even gaming nigga

>>729620980lmao
>>729620890This was quite an unique take, to really try to adapt to the limit the cinematic drama of Saving Private Ryan and mostly Band of Brothers. The gunplay was weak but served the tactical flanking aspect well, more focus on teamwork and forcing the enemy to be fully exposed rather than precise shooting
*BOINK*
Was replaying MOH:RS on an emulator and holy crap that game sucks.
>>729619502 Absolutely. You can slap all the RTX and 4K textures you want on a game, but none of it means jack if the guns sound like Nerf blasters or the explosions don’t rumble through your spine. CoD1 and 2 had such guttural, raw sound design-every ping, crack, and echo made you feel like you were actually in some poor bastard’s boots getting shelled in a foxhole. Now it’s all overly compressed Hollywood booms and sci-fi pews. Bring back the days when a Kar98k bolt cycling was scarier than a jump scare.
>>729621176kino
>>729621352what sucked about itI was too lazy to ever emulate
console cods > pcods
SERGEANT RANDALL THE GUNS ARE GONE THEYRE NOT HERE
>>729621704The levels are too big for how many enemies are present, the controls are awkward. Ended up getting lost after killing everything and went in circles looking at the bad graphics. It just sucked.
>>729619410>you now remember sniper town, pavlov and the last uo mission
i wish more games had the m1 garand
>>729621884>worse AI>worse graphics>worse performance>worse controls>worse sound>(You)
Why were there so many games that force you to expend all the ammo in the garand to reload it?
>>729622609>>worse AI>worse graphics>worse performance>worse controls>worse sound>(You)all lies btw, console cods are GOATed.
I respect his ping
I still have the COD 1 and 2 demos burned into my brain from when I was a kid cause I played them so muchSpeaking WW2 games, I've been binging Easy Red 2 the last couple of days, great fun. Reminds me a lot of Red Orchestra 2
>>729622080why were 155cm guns such a big deal anyway?wouldn't that barely be able to leave a scratch on your average WW2 battleship?
>>729622080Im about to do the Hill 400 assault mission. The American campaign mogged the other two campaigns in cod 2 its not even funny. >Pointe Du Hoc>Hill 400>Crossing the RhineThe final mission of the Russian campaign was also good.
>>729623112most of cod2 is crap. IW really loves those fucking british desert missions that nobody likes.
>dozens of shooters with ww2 campaigns>zero with ww1 campaignshwhy albeit
I liked those :(More than a lot of the Russian ones desu
>>729623553How young you are to not remember BF1?
>>729624051I'm too old to have touched a nu-bf that ugly bald androgynous fuck or the caped nigger on the coverart didn't manage to sell it to me
>>729622080Hardest mission but also one of the better designed ones.
>>729624051how young are you to have played nu-bf? lmao
>>729624051>Battlefield “campaigns”
>>729626297I liked Modern Combat's oneSome bullshit missions though
>>729626297I enjoyed Bad Company's
>>729622839hehOC won't go unnoticed by me
>>729626297Battlefield 1 had good campaigns
I gotta download me some cod1 and UO, aka the last good cod.
>>729628121I'll say the series was good till world at war
>>729618824Just about every old game has some kind of easy widescreen fix you can get online, and you can go to your gpu control panel and force antialiasing, boom, you make it look like how you remember it looking like back in 2003. Putting lipstick on a pig, so to speak
>>729622928The BBs wouldn't care but all those open-topped landing boats full of GIs and supplies sure would.
>mfw every server bans you for using rockets
LET'S GO GET THE BASTARDS
Call of Duty 1 is the only good Call of Duty in the entire series.
>>729630396UO.
>>729630396Big Red One
>>729618824holy shit i forgot they blew up a fucking traini haven't played CODUO in so long
>>729630542UO was worse and there's a reason everyone stayed on vCoD>>729630563>console fps LOOOOOOOL
>>729622331the specific memory that just came rushing back was>THE GUNS ARE GONE!>WHAT?>THE GUNS ARE GONE! THEY'RE NOT HERE!>DAMN! KRAUTS MUST'VE MOVED EMand missions in trenches like that where there's enemies with StG 44s or the 'damn that's cool' FG42, or even flamethrowers in UO iirc, but they die above the trench and drop their guns juuuuuust out of reach for you to pick up and play with
>>729629748>about every old game has some kind of easy widescreen fix Indeed. CoD1 can get you any resolution and aspect ratio with a simple ini edit too.However it does not have a fix that corrects the hud stretching in widescreen.Might get one soon tho: https://github.com/ThirteenAG/WidescreenFixesPack/discussions/1058Till then I'll stick to 4:3.The 7th gen re-release for consoles actually has it supported natively but I can't be bothered to use rpcs3.
>>729620357>when I hear heroic phrases like "Call of Duty", "Brothers in Arms", "Medal of Honor", I'm not thinking about zombies, faze clan, weapon skins, snoop dogg, nicki minaj or beavis and butthead but stories about actual regular joes going to a war way bigger than themthat's because you're old
>Mp_Harbor>Bolt-action rifles onlyHome
>>729616838>a ping so loud even the enemy knows when you are out of ammo
>>729628121Same, I haven't played in like 15 years at least now but I've got a sudden hankering for some id tech 3 goodness.>seta thereisacow 1
>>729618824God, I remember thatI loved that they let us push the plunger for it.
Hey Sarge, you're passin' on the right!
>>729630587uo better in every way.
>>729622080WHAT
It's actually kind of weird to me that no one has even tried to recapture the 'grunt in the big picture' feel of the original CoDs and similar era games. I know, they had fucking huge budgets and historical basis to pull off of and direct Hollywood inspiration (or even assistance), but "you are Private Shmuckatelli, here is your rifle, don't die too fast now" seems like such a simple thing and there's gotta be at least one hipster who's tired of gung-ho player jack-off fests. Right?
>>729631006>vehiclesno>mapsno>weaponsno>gametypesnothere's a reason everyone stayed on vCoD
MACGREGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR
>>729631052>everyone stayed on vCoDwhy does id tech always attract this kind of autism?>quake 2 was bad, there's a reason everyone stayed on quakeworldyeah you and the 15 other people, the rest of us are talking about the single player which is what the games were clearly designed around
>>729630542UO campaign wasn't as good because of infinite spawn points gor enemies until you pushed to a certain location. In some places especially in soviet campaign it was egregious. Best COD mission is the vilage with silo, I loved how you decieded the order of which buildings to attack and the AI would respond
>>729631131>why does id tech always attract this kind of autism?UO simply was a downgrade and offered nothing but out of place textures and models. >yeah you and the 15 other peoplevCoD has an active community playing it to this day. Nobody played UO because it was trash.>the rest of us are talking about the single player which is what the games were clearly designed aroundsingle player games are for retards. enjoy playing against scripts.
>>729631052the ruck is vcod.I played UO back in the day and everyone played UO with me.maybe you're a hamburger.
>>729631375>I played UO back in the day and everyone played UO with me.vCoD has players and tournaments to this day. Nobody gave a fuck about UO because it was a downgrade.
>pissbaby who wasn't good enough for Quake had to play a Quake engine spinoff and bitch about everything that isn't his game 22 (twenty-two) years later
The prices Activision still charges for CoD is borderline criminal.
>Loud noise alerts everyone nearby when you're out of bulletsHow many soldiers do you think died because they got rushed right after firing the last bullet?
>>729618824Man, UO was absolute peak CoD...>>7296193372 was pretty good too in many parts.
>>729631587I heard there was a technique where you could trigger the ping sound without ejecting the clip and the opposite would happen
>>729630661>Might get one soon tho: >github updated yesterday>pics showing it worksThe moment this shit releases I'll replay the classic cods
>>729631587None because you know what's 100 times as loud? All the actual gunshots going off around the battlefield. And that's assuming you're not concussed as shit from fighting all day and the ping is still within your range of hearing at all.
>>729631408you've gotta be at least 35 or even 40, right? don't you have a family to be celebrating new years' with
>>729631991Damn, I didn't even see the new screens. Yeah, it looks like it's happening real fast.
>>729631465nigger, by the time I played CoD I had already played a shitton of Doom, duke, unreal, quake and SiN, shit was very refreshing, I remember my brains exploding after that first mission.>>729632023and the fact that nobody fights alone, soldiers are always covering each other, if you stop to reload, someone else is supressing
>>729623553Reinforcing the post-war consensus to a new generation.
>>729632079>zoom zoom is upset he's having his shit pushed inwuh woh
>>729620770I remember so many servers in cod1 limiting or outright removing the option to use the ppsh.
>>729631408>>729632079I'm 35 I never ever heard of vcod.
>>729624051>niggers front and center for a WWI gameHard pass.
>>729632880it just means vanilla cod dummy
>>729621352I remember playing it after Frontline as a kid and it was a huge downgrade in every way. I even recognized how "choppy" it ran it ran at sub 30fps while Frontline had a consistent 60fps with slowdowns at times and the graphics for RS were a straight downgrade>>729621884WTF people are still playing COD3? Do I really need to pay for Xbox live? I want to relive this
Remember how COD 1 had that hot Russian sniper lady? Can't do that anymore.
>>729633537I don't remember any women in cod
>>729623179Agree I just finished replaying it after so many years.
>>729633537No? COD2 had exactly one npc chick at the very beginning of the second level iirc. That's it.
>>729633537I only remember the one from Finest Hour and the one female soldier in 2's russian campaign.
>>729633443>Do I really need to pay for Xbox liveNo you get an Xbox and sign up for Insignia and hop on to play codfh, cod2bro and cod3. It's all free, and we play every week.
>>729633537Vanguard had that as a main character It's just a face scan of Laura Bailey
>>729633537Finest hour is the one you're thinking about.Cod 1 and UO have MEN ONLY AWWWW YEAHHHH
>>729634594>MEN ONLY AWWWW YEAHHHHWe can't do that anymore either to be fair.
>>729633876Friggin sweet haven't heard of this. Does it work with a modded console or do I have to get legit copies? I lost my cod3. Is there a fagcord
