Greetings, Devil Dog! Welcome to the Call of Duty Forums. It looks like you're looking forward to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, but haven't created an account yet. Why not take a minute to CoD Black Ops One. I think the mission name is "WMD". It's a winter environment. I am playing with mouse and keyboard.
In great detail, what is the trick to this scenario? A quicktime video of the metal walkway being destroyed plays. There is then a gap between myself and the rest of the squad. I've tried jumping, tried holding the sprint button while jumping. Neither one works. I either fall to my death or get a "you failed to keep up with your squad" message.
Is this simply trolling on the part of the Developers, an effort to make players rage quit?
This game, and other CoD have inside them what I term mini games. Can't recall which one, but one of them required me to fly an airplane in the vicinity of a mountain, follow someone.
The feeling I come away with isn't "this is fun and different". The feeling I get is "I am being sucker punched. There is no intuitive way to understand what to do or when to do it."
All of the novelty vanishes because I have to do this forty or fifty times in a row in order to figure out the microsecond timing. This is totally NONintuitive. It does not matter how intelligent and capable I am in the real world, or what abilities my avatar has....this is a test of endurance: how much frustration and anger can you soak up before you rage quit.
Because OF COURSE I know exactly when to brake during rappeling, it makes perfect sense. Yeah. No.
