Call Of Duty Games No Matter Where You Go There Is Always Something To Do

What is the problem with Call of Duty games? Not much. Wait a second, come to think about it, there is something wrong with MW 3. Its the time frame. I can play through it quick, which sucks for a game I love so much. Now we are paying a lot of money for a game that is done in about 14 hours.

When looking at games like Skyrim, which is essentially an FPS combined with RPG, it will take you 200 hours to finish the main story lines.

And because of its free roaming capability, and advanced AI that gives real life and randomness to NPCs, you have thousands of hours of game play waiting for you, and it is a bit cheaper than Call of Duty games.

Lets say the player in Skyrim wants to stay away from the main quest line. This is easily done. There is always something to do no matter where you go in the game.

I have the feeling that Call of Duty games are getting shorter and shorter. The success of Modern Warfare has made the developers to think less about the player and more about the money. Modern Warfare 3 is not much different from its predecessor?

The makers of Skyrim have put out a truly innovative game building upon its predecessor: Oblivion. This was not done for Modern Warfare 3, why? I think I know why.

You can break down games into two categories. One is an alley game, the other is an Island game. Call of Duty games are alley games. In an alley game the player is led down a certain constrained path, where game boundaries are usually right beside you.

Boundaries are not immediately perceptible in Island games, and are often referred to as sandbox games, popular for RPGs. It might take you all day to walk to one.

What’s my point? Its just an idea, but what if FPS games were created like Island games? This would give the player a lot more play time. It is obvious that multi-player and survival mode, is were the hours of play time can be found in Call of Duty.

FPS game should be made more like Island games, with random battle possibilities outside of the main alley storyline. This would empower the player more, so the player can determine the way the game will evolve. Maybe you could call it a cross-genre RPS. Does it have to be RPG? No, but we should be able to build on your combat skills.

Hold on. I love MW 2 and 3, and I know that alley style games heighten the drama of the game play. FPS alley style is fun. For once, it is time to start thinking outside the box.

Since the combat is still FPS, I like to play Skyrim. Make sure you get Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, and 3, as Call of Duty games are a lot of fun.
