Well, true, but hats don't have much of an impact on gameplay, of course (except for the 5 original set hats, most of which kinda suck).
CoD is a victim of its own popularity (which I never understood anyway, I loved the original CoD and its expansion UO but the franchise turned bad to me as soon as the second game). Hopefully this will put the whole franchise to the grave so it can finally rest in peace and more innovating games can get the spotlight instead.
Or, maybe there are actually millions of suckers willing to pay a monthly fee for more of the same and I'll be forever puzzled by the state of modern gaming.
I'd go further than that, here's how I see it:
TF2 is like selling someone a ferrari instead of a normal car - carries status, looks nice, but is expensive and very explicitly
does not do anything functionally useful.
COD elite is like selling someone sub-par oil-with-water-mixed-in,then offering a water-removing service for only $1 a litre.
They're both rather ridiculous, ultimately, but one is rather morally questionable.
Also, this is how I see
Modern Warfare 3. I was going for the "obviously tacked on" look (hell, I did it in PAINT), but I think it looks sort-of grotesque.
Should I have gone for the "add on a crude "bottom of the 3" curve with the spraypaint tool" shtick?
