Should I Play Call Of Duty?

I know Call Of Duty is a pretty popular FPS shooter, although I'm not sure if it's worth to buy it or not. Can someone list cons and pros of playing and buying Call Of Duty? Thanks for reading this! FiendYT (talk) 03:39, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

Here's a list of reviews at metacritic [1] for black ops III. I don't know if you should play it or not - that's not really something we can address with references. I will say that in my opinion, COD is hard to get the hang of for people who are not already very experienced in FPS. It also depends on what you want to do. For example, if you want to play online against other humans, I might recommend Starwars Battlefront or Titanfall instead - they are relatively easy to pick up (especially Battlefront), but they don't have any single-player campaign modes. If you really like playing cooperative and single-player missions, you might check out Destiny_(video game), which is sort of an FPS/MMORPG mix, and it may well keep you entertained longer than COD. So it really depends on what type of FPS action you're interested in, what your budget is, maybe even what system you plan to play on. Finally, you may check out gamefly or other rental services, that way you can play a bit of a game before you commit to paying full price for it. SemanticMantis (talk) 15:35, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

I agree with the response above and would just like to add a little. The main difference between Call of Duty and other first person shooters is the pace at which the game is played. Call of Duty was one of the first games on console to run at 60 frames per second. This is why it feels so fluid and other games like Battlefield Bad Company 2 on console felt a little more clunky. [2] Call of Duty is a twitch shooter meaning the game is almost all about quick reaction time. I would say that to enjoy Call of Duty you have to have a competitive mindset or the game will get old very quickly. Logan delaney (talk) 19:42, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

Out of date information on Sarah Kerrigan page.

To whom it may concern,

I am writing as a Starcraft II player and fan of Sarah Kerrigan. I noticed that her Wikipedia page is out of date for the latest expansion Legacy of the Void. Her species was listed as "Infested Terran" (permalink: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sarah_Kerrigan&oldid=693391036), when at the end of the game (although it is ambiguous whether Kerrigan is considered a Terran again, or if she is a Xel'Naga as she was when Kerrigan defeated Amon) Sarah Kerrigan is most clearly not an infested Terran. Here is the starcraft wiki page on Sarah Kerrigan. Also, you can look through the campaign of Legacy of the Void to check my claim.

If you have valid sources you could do the updates yourself. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 04:08, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
