Developer of Red Orchestra games, Tripwire Interactive discussed one of it’s competitors, ‘Call of Duty‘ and they didn’t have anything good to say about the game.
Speaking with PC Gamer, Tripwire President John Gibson was asked for his thoughts on the current state of FPS games, and he had some interesting things to say about one of the genre’s biggest players.
“I think that single-player shooters are getting better, I think they’re finally coming out from under the shadow of the Hollywood movie, overblown “I’m on a rail” linear shooter. I’m talking about Call of Duty-style shooters.”
“The melding of RPG elements and shooter elements has been great. I’ve seen this reflected in a lot of the reviews, it’s like, “Okay guys, we’re tired of this on-rails experience,” he said.
“I’m really discouraged by the current state of multiplayer shooters. I think that, and I hate to mention names, because it sounds like I’m just jealous of their success, but I’m really, I feel like Call of Duty has almost ruined a generation of FPS players.”
He went on, “I know that’s a bold statement, but I won’t just throw stones without backing it up. When I was developing Action Mode [for RO2], I got a group of people that I know that are pretty hardcore Call of Duty players.
And my goal was to create something that was accessible enough for them to enjoy the game—not turn it into Call of Duty, but try to make something that I thought was casual enough but with the Red Orchestra gameplay style that they would enjoy.”
“And we iterated on it a lot. And just listening to all the niggling, pedantic things that they would complain about, that made them not want to play the game, I just thought, “I give up. Call of Duty has ruined this whole generation of gamers,” he concluded.
Tripwire Interactive is an American game development studio and publisher based in Roswell, Georgia, formed by members of the international team that created the acclaimed Unreal Tournament 2004 mod, Red Orchestra: Combined Arms. Red Orchestra won top prize in the nVidia-sponsored Make Something Unreal competition.

Sorry but Red Orchestra sucks.
Sorry, but Red Orchestra is an actual FPS that plays very well. Highly rated and acclaimed too. Quit riding Call of Duty's dick.
then why the fuck did we even tried to play every fucking game in Call of Duty in the past? if your going to say that it ruined and you fuckers played every fucking game COD go fuck yourself, COD:MW3 ruined Call of duty's pride for using the same fucking Engine for it.
call of duty just lost that olden age they had with mw2 and bo1 , but dont worry BF gonna show them how its done :)
Personally I have liked all the Call of Dutys that both IW and Treyarch both put out. I also think that in MW3 there could have been a lot more community support because there was lots of glitches like 18 player free for all and the spawns just dont play well at all on that. To make Call of Duty better they just need to go simpler because back in the World at War and CoD4 it was a simple layout but at the same time very fun to play.
