The story campaign in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 has numerous restrictions tied to its always-online nature, with no method of pausing levels. You'll also be booted from your game if you're idle for too long.
No one cares about playing CoD for campaign anymore lol. The multiplayer this time isn’t a fucking nightmare of being aimbotted by idiots with no thumbs on controller and an extreme manipulative matchmaking that gives you three games against kids with cerebral palsy and then five games of nothing but omegasweats using meta weapons.
Meanwhile, Arc Raiders has AI voice acting and BF6 has the worst hit detection I’ve ever seen in an FPS. People really think they can compete with CoD and then proceed to fumble the ball every time, and those are ALSO anti-consumer practices.
I do…and many others do too if the game itself wasn’t such a pile of shit forcing you online because ‘its where the fun is’… I love campaigns in shooters. online play is trash unless I can play with ONLY my friends. it’s one of the main reasons I stopped paying for the garbage that they keep producing and don’t consider these companies at entertainment more then I would scraping dog shit off my shoes
I don’t think there are any single player military shooters anymore… at least not that come to mind. I think COD drove them all out of business… Phase 1 of Enshittification.
I can point to you several other games, many of them shooters, that are singleplayer. Like, you have the three modern DOOM games and ULTRAKILL just as an example. And like, you don’t NEED to have it be new games? You can just buy old singleplayer military FPSes?? Like, just looking at my library, I have Arma: Cold War Assault, Red Alert 2: Heroes of Stalingrad, every Bioshock game, Half-Life 1 and 2, Black Mesa, Medal of Honor (2010), Crysis 2, Spec Ops: The Line…
Operation Harsh Doorstop is good for a military shooter, of which I’ve played in the past. It’s free to play too if I’m not mistaken (and the modding scene for it is quite fantastic as well).
By the same argument, why not just play last year’s CoD? It’s not really fun playing the same campaign over and over unless you’re a speedrunner or something. I want new single player experience, just like I want new TV shows and movies. I don’t have time to stay competitive in any online multiplayer games, and it seems like the only ones making single player games anymore are indie devs.
Point to me one AAA studio that doesn’t have those. If you want to be 100% ethical you should only buy indie games, and I honestly don’t fault anyone for doing so. I just buy whatever game I find good. Unless the company is literally funding nazis, LGBTQ+ phobia (like Hogwarts Legacy), or war crimes (like Escape from Tarkov, and I also did not buy BO7 until Microsoft pulled out of giving money to Israel), if the game is good in the area I care about, I will buy it.

People need to stop buying games that are so blatantly anti-consumer.

then why put in the extra work and servers for singleplayer to be online?

You should probably stop giving money to them then. Stop buying Call of Duty games. You’re just funding anti-consumer practices.
lol, I don’t. I won’t even pirate AAA games (I always buy if I enjoy them). not worth the time because they aren’t fun.
Oh… well then why were you saying you were playing the Call of Duty campaign?
They didn’t say that. Just that they love campaigns in shooters.
You need better reading comprehension than that before trying an aha gotcha- like that.
You don’t need to own the game to try it when you have friends.
Just play a singleplayer FPS then? That isn’t CoD’s niche anymore my dude.
Why did they spend time making a single player part of the game?

There are many single player scenarios for arma. On top of the ones that are in the game.
It’s still a decent game.

I mean I did play the BO6 campaign and quite liked it. And like. There’s hundreds of those games out there you might not have played before?
Apologize harder for anti consumer practices, challenge mode: nightmare
