Why the COD comparison?

[Killerspinach]

This game is pretty much nothing like Call of Duty. There's no cover, the guns are balanced, there's no reload, there's no killstreaks. The only real thing it shares is load outs which almost every shooter has these days.

It's like people just like to repeat what they read online.

If you want to compare Doom to something unfavorable for whatever reason then try Battlefront. The Power-Up pick ups are very similiar between games and the Hero Tokens in Battlefront are essentially the same thing as this demon power-up in this new Doom.

Personally I love this MP and I really don't care what other people call it but if you are calling it a Cod-like you couldn't be more wrong.

You'll notce the large majority of reviews that mention this have very little game time played.

i agree cod and Doom are miles apart they are no where near the same thing. If anything cod has been trying to be more quake like with its arcade style pacing. As for Mp i havent tried the new Doom mp yet personally i got it for the sp, I remember when Doom first came out and for me this Doom is more like the original, and its what ive been waiting for for some time. The wolfenstiens are cool but something about them doesnt hold my attention....kinda like cod. I find that most of the complaint about Doom relating it to cod are from young people that have no idea that Doom is approaching 30 years old and like most teens have an overinflated sence of self..and entitlement..........lol Doom has allready out lived both them and cod....

Because this all the kids these days are all about, CoD.

The last Wolfensteain was more like Cod. It had a lean out of cover mechanic for crying out loud but everyone praised that.

It's just a bunch of edgy kids most of who probably weren't even alive for the original Doom meanwhile those of us who never really stopped playing it seem to be quite pleased.

Either way it's no skin off my back I just find the unoriginality in calling this a Cod-like funny. The game has great reviews and I'm loving it as well. Seems like that long-a$$ wait paid off.

I think the main comparison is the progression system, isn't it? Play so much, gain levels, unlock things. CoD hardly created that concept, but arguably made it as popular as it is.

That said, people who compare this to Doom are still idiots who need a good kick in real life.

Yes loadouts/progression that's the only similarity and considering almost every single game out has that in some form now that's like saying it's like Cod because it has guns.

Need a good Brutal Doom front kick indeed.

lol having loadouts and progression doest make it anything...because almost every game has some asect of those things its more common than teats on a cow...these cod lovers should be made to play the originals till they dream about them and scream untill they like it. Personally i ignore all reviews from people that dont have at least 100 played games because they are most likely amatures. I think that Zero punctuation explains cod the best..Virgin howler monkey sex fantisy!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eP-OLKkbiBc

That's correct. It's nothing like COD. It's an even simpler game, no reloading and pretty much no depth. Even less of a story. COD has more story.

Yet somehow I still prefer this game to COD. o.0

oh dear...cod telling a story....the only story cod tells even undescovered tribes in the amazon knew cod was going to tell, cod story lines are the single most predictive, unimagenitive and generic i have ever had the misfortune to encounter.

Ye the people that compare this to cod are literal idiots, they saw the weapon skins and somehow got to the conclusion that its just CoD somehow... jerking eachother off with ignorance.

[☆Grim Bunny☆]

Funny how people say this is a ripoff of CoD. When in all actuality every FPS game ever made is copying Doom. Since Doom was basically what made FPS what it is today.

True. But still more story then Doom.

It's really nothing like any current shooter at all.

No fall damage. No reload. Very quick and strafe-y action. Lots of small old school nods like colored keys and sound effects, as well as scripted fights that you need to battle through to proceed. No retarded health/armor regen either.

List goes on, really. Anyone that thinks it's like CoD or Halo needs their head examined.

Doom doesn't need a story. It didn't need one in 1993, it doesn't need one now. You don't play Doom for its story.
