So I suffered through the campaign yesterday. Through the whole experience I wondered what would best surmise my thoughts. Was it the constant slow-mo interruptions, enemy spawns from cleared areas, brain-dead AI, mission-breaking glitches, hand holding coupled with no information or just Sam Worthington? 
 
But no, my main problem now with (I suppose) the whole COD series is that it is now a Photo Hunt game. Instead of working your way through environments and enemies, you're constantly scanning the environment for the next trigger. Where is the next barrel, checkpoint, animation, exploding truck, better weapon, needless dialogue, way-finding arrow, helicopter spawn, roof top RPG etc.  
 
There are many points where you barely need to focus on the actual action taking place around you; just where the next trigger is. Mission too difficult? Just run forward until the next over the top sequence begins. Checkpoint.
 
As a result I found the entirety of the campaign stuttered and janky. For all the set pieces the game presents I struggled to enjoy any of them as they're just interruptions steamrolling one after another, getting in the way of what you're supposed to do in an FPS; shooting.
 
So to me; Treyarch created the worlds first Shooter/Photo-Hunt hybrid. Congratulations.

Well, the multiplayer is basically "who sees who first"...

You sound like a retard when you make statements like: "I suffered through the campaign..."
 
why the fuck would you do something that makes you suffer?

So like a regular Photo Hunt game or the nudie ones?

You are a unique snowflake.

Wow! A Call of Duty bashing thread. What a turn for the century. It's not like we haven't threads like these before, right?

that's pretty funny since most people consider BLOPS to be the best CoD campaign since 4, if not ever.

"@KingWilly: WHO considers this to be the best since COD4?"

"@GhostlyEnigma: That's why I tried to make this thread a little unique. I could've just ragged on the regular things; but I believe my problems with the campaign go deeper than "TREYARCH SUX!1!!ONE" ~ That said I understand it's almost impossible to complain about something on the internet without sounding like that; because almost everyone on the internet sounds like that."

I never understood why this is considered such a bad thing. "

Masochism, possibly. "

I played an hour of the campaign 2 weeks ago and swore I wouldn't go through with it. But I keep hearing it on podcasts that it's okay so I thought I must be missing something. 
 
5 hours later; I wasn't.

MW2 was better then this game for sure. Not that it was bad.   I sort of agree with the OP... I don't like flash backs and stuff in movies or games tbh so that was an instant turn off. A lot of the cutscenes and stuff made the game feel like it was just not going along smoothly.   The game was alright though and I didn't "suffer" through it. But I can see the OP's point.  "

" @themangalist: I thought the story was jumbled and predictable. They had a lot of epic moments in the game but honestly not enough MASSIVE events and explosions (like nukes going off and stuff). That rocket was pretty massive.   The thing that impressed me was I felt like I was hardly in control of the game at all because it was so linear but at the same time I had fun with it.   The normal COD problem I have is I don't know whether I should be running through bad guys getting to a destination or sitting still and shooting them all. The endless stream of bad guys that you encounter sometimes is annoying because you don't always know that is the case.  "

" @Cheapoz:  try it on veteran or hardened.  "

"modern day Photo Hunt game" its just linear . FPS Games where you have to keep slogging along to find the next checkpoint  on a map cover with stupid AI pretty much covers 80 - 90% of them. I could pick on COD:BO for worse things than that. As for " worlds first Shooter/Photo-Hunt hybrid " Id strongly recomend you dont play somthign like Medal of honor (most scripted FPS ive played in ages).  Why play it if you dont enjoy it?  I turned off crackdown 2 after an hour of boredom,glitches and repetitive game play (I really wanted to like that game too).  Dont suffer for things you dont like, what are you  Treyarchs Jesus?
