Is anyone else worried about CoD fanboys ruining Destiny?
I've always hated the Call of Duty community. It's full of Hackers, 7 year-old kids talking smack, and a lot of frustration. When I talked to them about their thoughts on Destiny, a lot said they would play it. Not to generalize the community as a whole, but I don't want my Destiny Crucible experience to be like a normal CoD BOII or Ghosts session. Anyone else feel the same?

Report hackers as usual, and the kids are good cannon fodder to get my KDR up.

They'll either stay in the Crucible once they have access to it or lose interest once the next Call of Duty game comes out. I'm not worried.

Just go into a party so u don't hav to hear them
-
I think we lost all of them after the custom match announcement

They will die just like the rest of us. Not worried

1 ReplyDeej plays CoD. So yeah, about your thread......
-
Not at all

5 RepliesIf it's the stereotypical CoD player you're worried about they won't try any other game. I tried to get my cousin to play the beta and he refused even though my other cousin, who plays professionally told him it was fun he refused to try it saying that CoD is the only good game. SO yeah the annoying ones will stay in CoD land. THANK GOD

4 RepliesThe CoD community is full of computer users fascinated by the inner-workings of computer systems, and in particular security systems? I was under the impression most of them couldn't tell you what vi or emacs is for, much less anything about war dialers or algorithmically generated sequences. . .

3 RepliesNope. 1) We won't be able to hear each other let alone them. 2) If you've been playing Halo since at least Halo 2 then you know how bad hacking really was and saw how Bungie pretty much eliminated hacking in Halo 3 with the force of their mighty ban hammer. 3) Your stereotype of COD players being all 7 year old hackers only reflects your own low skill level and I hope I'm never on your team. Hacking in COD wasn't really that bad or even really hacking at all. It was just a loophole in CODs own shitty servers and latency issues. Halo 2 had real hacking in matchmaking. Like you spawn outside of the map with a guy shooting you with a fully automatic sniper that shoots three bullets in a triangle pattern with unlimited ammo and no reloading WITH aimbot getting auto head shots while you respawn instantly in the same spot. You'd die so fast you almost never even saw yourself spawn. Bungie got fed up with it and through amazing programming made almost all hacking and damn near most modding a thing of the past in Halo 3. Even in offline custom games hackers and modders couldn't really do anything spectacular with Halo 3 as they did in Halo 2.

Real hardcore Professional CoD players wouldn't even dream of backwards training on some other shooter CoD is love CoD is life.

It's not will they ruin Destiny, It's how long will it take til they ruin it for the rest of us

7 RepliesYes! I am very worried. All CoD players do is pick hunters, and are going to try to push Bungie to make is MLG and sh!t.
-
Nope. Luckily, there is no prox/lobby chat, so we can actually concentrate on playing, rather than being bothered by all the annoying little foul mouthed twerps.

7 RepliesEdited by Honorable Sniper: 8/21/2014 7:31:32 PMI can imagine whether or not they decide to play Destiny, CoD players will be blamed for whatever maladies which may plague Destiny in the future. I wonder if Halo players were angry when i came from playing on a PS2 Or CoD players angry when I was Halo jumping them Or Battlefield players angry when I aggressively rush the objective Will Destiny players be angry too... I think you would need to explain what your experience with Blops 2 and Ghosts was like before we can actually understand what you mean. Quick Scopers, Trolls hiding in the back of the map, Angry child... Destiny might not be the game for them. The time to kills is longer and its a bit harder to get a Faze montage going when there isnt crazy aim assist for sniper rifles.

I think it would be difficult for fans of another game to ruin my experience.

4 RepliesI was trying to play some COD Ghosts Extinction mode last night. The first round I played with my brother but it had been a while. We were talking and playing decently. We set the nuke and ended up getting killed going back to the beginning of the map for extraction. My Brother had to leave, but it was a pretty good run and I was having fun, so I decided to play with a match made group. First, it took 10-15 minutes to get a game going because all the super prestige guys would keep backing out of the lobby if they didn't like the look of someone in the squad. When I finally got in a game the players I was matched with were the worst. One kid wouldn't stop singing and committing suicide on the electric fence traps. The others were paying zero attention to the challenges and running around like idiots. We didn't make it past the first part of the map. I played two more rounds and they went about the same. Both a little better, but overall it was a massive failure. Easy proof to me that one good person on your team is better than 3 randoms. The COD chumps will come in droves (along with a lot of stand up COD players) and we cant stop that. But we don't have to play with them. Hold yourself as a Guardian to a higher mark. Be good to other Guardians and make friends. Then play with them. Don't let Destiny get ruined for you by relying on matchmaking. So yep, I'm worried about the COD fans moving over to Destiny. But I'm not going to let that ruin it for me.

Ruining? No. Annoy me? Probably lots of times. I don't mind spray-n-pray TDM-for-all-gamemodes players, but I wouldn't miss em either.

Some interesting comments here. I think we're safe. Even the programmers commented that seasoned CoD vets will need to learn the mechanics of Destiny. If you played the Beta Crucible a good bit and learned the mechanics behind heavy ammo drops, class specific roles and powers, and other particular nuances, you'll have that leg up. This is almost a bit more like Warface or Battlefield in that regard. Really I think it comes down to FPS skill. Map knowledge will always play a huge part in your survival rate, weapon knowledge paired with proper play style and kitting I imagine goes in equally well. All that comes from practice. CoD players get to roll up their experience from most of the other versions they've played. This is all new. Not sure where I'm going with all of this. Long story short, I don't think CoD vets will some how corrupt the crucible experience... As a final thought, $60 is a chunk of money to dump in a new game for the sole purpose of the PvP. CoD players can do that for new CoD games. There's a decade of previous iterations out there. The formula from game to game is always very close. Destiny is FPS, but... Different. Who has that kind of money to spend on something they may not even enjoy?

As a somewhat vet of call of duty I agree that the community is pretty annoying but I don't think that it will hurt destiny. [spoiler]there is bad in all communities so we will see what happens since there will be more than just call of duty player playing it. There will be halo players and battlefield player (and maybe even some new to shooter people) [/spoiler]

Um, nope. Not worried in the slightest. If they want to play, good for them because it's an awesome game. If not, who the hell cares? The game makes it extremely difficult to pull CoD tactics in the crucible. Camping is usable, but you won't get far with it, nor do you have an excess of "noob tubes." I never got to play the beta, but based on the Alpha the tank was the only concern, so long as you're not on a cohesive team.

2 RepliesWhat defines a cod player? Considering nearly every person on earth has played call of duty at some point... Destiny is very different from cod and CAN NOT be played the same. Anyone who plays destiny is a destiny player not a cod player.

1 ReplyIt won't matter most of them can't aim anyway and will QQ when they get turned on left and right and then ragequit back to ez mode COD
