This isn't a retarded rant, like all the other shit on this subforum but instead a valid argument so shut up if you're one of those retarded Desticles with Tourettes.
The amazing gunplay in CoD sets an ever improving bar for the shooter genre. Though difficult to replicate and often leading to failure (Titanfall, Halo 4) it provides realistic, almost simulation like immersion. Even in the worst of the series, Ghosts (still a brilliant game) I never felt like there was something fundamentally wrong or that there was a way to exploit it. In Destiny it's just everybody exploiting 2 hit kill guns like thorn and last word. It's frustrating and laggy at best.
Weapon balance in Call of Duty also is renowned for its excellency and the developers acknowledging critiscism very well. Admittedly weapon balance is never perfect upon launch (true for most games). Sledgehammer games have been very open with sharing weapon balancing plans and have done a very good job so far. With the next update I believe that there will be now no useless weapons in Advanced Warfare. A considerable feat. In Destiny if you're not using a felwinters sniper rifle and a thorn you're doing it wrong. Everything else is obsolete.
Connectivity issues in CoD are at an all time low in comparison to Destiny with its awful lag and netcode and random disconnection errors. I almost never get kicked or lag from advanced warfare and it's only when the servers or PSN are down for maintenance.
The common stereotype of small children playing CoD is now also a complete fallacy consdiering many of the 8 year old squeakers now play Destiny and pollute [quote][/quote]the servers there.
CoD also has zombies which is just as fun if not more than any raid or prison of elders made by the guy who made me throw money at my screen.
CoD also has a brilliant and engaging story unlike Destiny. And it doesn't overprice it's DLC (which is entirely optional and not mandatory like Destiny). And CoD doesn't make me want to throw money at my screen. And DeeJ is a pegboy.

Edited by Zoom In: 7/12/2015 7:23:12 AMTrue, weapon balance is never perfect at launch and there's only so much you can test in a closed environment and they've only had a beta for cod once, I believe for world at war. If they are going to start doing betas though, that will no longer be an excuse. Also, I got the game at launch digitally but got a full refund from microsoft a week later (thank god). Weapon balance was atrocious then which is excusable, but from what I've read online, and hear from friends, it's still pretty bad. With the yearly cycle, weapon balance should be a top priority and fixed quickly. It's July and it's still not balanced correctly. That is a big problem and inexcusable. No one besides people who can't afford it, or for some reason, actually enjoyed advanced warfare is gonna be playing it once black ops 3 drops. So for them to not have the balance right 8+ months later, means they have failed.
