- return to a simpler time
it would be so awesome if we can turn back the clock and have another game based on World War 2. im not really liking the futuristic theme thats going on. we need something gritty and dark. personally im craving a World At War remake in HD, or even a World At War 'II' type game...i know a lot of people would very interested in this.
- better connection.
why? BO2 was the first Call of Duty to actually give myself and plenty of other people lag comp. im not sure why if the previous 4 title ran smoothly on the Wii and being on a new console maybe something wasnt finished or coded properly...although from what it seems, lag comp has been around since MW2 on the other consoles and the Nintendo community got its first and second taste with BO2 and this game Ghosts. will we get dedicated servers to fix the problem? ...maybe not for Ghosts, but maybe in future CoD titles?
- stop objectifying women
i understand that this game is rated M for Mature, but lets be reasonable here. is there really a need to have pictures of women such as Arkaden, Plaza, Express among other DLC maps? is there really a need to have a strip club that has a sign saying "Nude Girls" on it? is there really a need to have playercards made by the game creators featuring pics of ladies who are dressed inappropriately? as a Man, i can honestly say that it has no place in Call of Duty. on Black Ops 2, emblems are cool but a lot of people made a lot of disgusting emblems and they were given the ok by the game creators because of what is in the game already. when i see a custom emblem of some girl bending over or pushing herself against the glass of the TV screen, i report it. back in MW3, there was unlockable player cards that were objectifying to women. in the middle of a war and the buildings have giant holes in the walls, cars are on fire, there is rubble everywhere and these objectifying pics of girls are left unscathed? im not the only one who feels this way either, i did some searching and found this little golden nugget of a thread :
Graphic content option for Ghosts?
i think that people who say "whats the big deal?" and "who gives a $#!T?" are the people who give likes and support the custom emblems listed above and have no problem seeing things of that nature. i for one dont care to see that and if the Devs decide not go objectifying with the next game, that will most likely sway me and Queen into buying the next game without hesitation, dedicated servers or not. i mean, whats the point of having objectifying pics of girls...is there a tactical advantage for having them there? is there some sort of need or want to have them there? couldnt they have been replaced by something not objectifying at all? some sort of propaganda material or headline news about recent events on buildings and walls? i must give props where props are due though, the character customization was well done in that the girls were not whored out like the girl from zombies in BO2...my personal reason in boycotting that mode. there was literally no difference in the male and female characters apart from the hair and the face, but overall good job on that part, if girls are to be included in future titles i can only hope they will be done as tastefully as they were in Ghosts.
- map design
i miss maps like downpour, shipment, pipeline, wetwork from CoD4 and dome, makin day/night, upheavel, cliffside from W@W and array, firing range, havanna, nuketown from BO1 and lockdown, hardhat, resistance, bakaara from MW3. we dont need these huge maps that are 10 times bigger than that of Turbine from BO2, especially if there are not enough players to fill a quarter of the map.
- game modes
ground war should be on the WiiU, it ran beautifully on Black Ops 2 and i actually preferred that to regular TDM cuz not only do you get 9v9 lobby going and way more targets to shoot at, you get a mix of 3 different game types and that in itself is awesome enough. include all game modes so that we can taste a little bit of everything, its pretty annoying paying the same price as other consoles and getting half a game or even a quarter of it.
- open dialogue with community
there needs to be more communication between Activsion and the consumer, not only to hear our problems but to help create a game that would top the one before it. there cant be 2 to 3 month gaps in between contact, there needs to be an acknowledgement of existence and a reinforcement of how we as a community are important because we spend our money on your product(s), if i made, lets say, a burger with all the sides and fixings and something was off a little, i would appreciate the feedback...do my best to fix the problem on the spot and continue to do my best to retain that person as a customer so that in the future my burger with all sides and fixings will be the best it can be now and in the future.
