…Is the poor man’s CoD4. That pretty much sums it up. It plays almost the same, sans toggled stances (COD4 has toggled prone and crouch stances, CA has crouch that you have to manually hold). The biggest difference is the unlock system. In COD4, you gain experience and rank, unlocking weapons which are immediately usable. CA has a system by which you gain experience and rank, unlocking items, but in order to actually use them, you must rent them with the in game monetary system. Obtaining this money seems to revolve around a “more people you kill, the more money you get” setup.
The biggest difference overall is price. COD4 still runs for about $40 in stores, and free to play. CA is FREE. What this means is that the game is flooded with skilless n00bs, and people who are veterans of COD 4 that play tend to shine. This can be a good thing and a bad thing, but most of the time it’s just hilarious, especially when a teammate wastes two clips of ammo unloading on you, only to get his dumb ass blown away by someone from the opposing team. What’s even worse, is that when you DO hit a teammate, you get an audible message to check your fire.
But that’s what happens when you appeal to the unwashed masses, just like WoW.

What’s really hilarious is this: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/138-Age-of-Conan
And sad at the same time, really, since it’s so true.
But what is also hilarious is that I end up typing “fart” a lot of the times I’m trying to type the url of this blog.
