If you could have your own server, you could keep playing the game after they decide it's time for you to pay $90 for the next one.
BF4 still very playable!
...because of private servers.
just picked it up for $4 and (after the annoying Punkbuster install) it holds up really well, especially for being 12yo. definitely scratches the Battlefield itch so I don't feel so tempted to buy BF6
Nice. There are some servers with only the premium maps but if they are cheap it's worth it, including Firestorm, which they are bringing back for BF6. Peak Battlefield.
CoD WWII is the only one I want to play. :-(
You mean CoD (2003) and United Offensive right? Right?
Man... Call of Duty: United Offense was the game my squadron played all the time while we were deployed to Iraq in 2007. Someone had a cracked copy they brought with them and we installed it on all our computers in the squadron (we were an IT squadron).
Once a day, around lunchtime, we'd shut down the whole squadron for about 30 minutes. We'd hang signs on our doors that said we were closed for "simulated warfare training." Then we'd jump into a massive free-for-all match and shoot everything that moved until there was one person left standing. Someone had dozens of custom maps people had made online, so we always had some new and unique map to play with.
I don't miss Iraq, but I do miss those days. CoD was my favorite FPS series back in the day. Now it's complete garbage.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (the 2009 original, not the 2022 reboot) was the first time I felt like the franchise wasn't trying anymore. I mostly played the campaign mode and that was the first campaign that was basically just a carbon copy of the previous game. Same exact plot, same exact ending, just a new villain who took over for the villain in the previous Modern Warfare game.
Black Ops was kind of weird, but not that bad. However, I completely lost interest when trying to play Black Ops 2 and haven't bought a new game since. I hear they're up to Black Ops 6 now?
My friends and I started on PS3 with CoD ModernWarfare. Playing 4 player splitscreen was fun! Then later when internet around here got better, we played MW2 and Black Ops. A few played BlackOps 2 and I think only one stayed for MW3. I think I even got the Wii version of black ops lol
We still play UO every night. Historians have their Base Assault server going during the afternoons and there is usually a CTF and S&D server populated every night (which one it is varies)
We’d love to have some old players back!
Cod 2 is where it's at. The smoke blew my mind back in the day
