If the EE's were fairly straightforward and not completed by people within 24 hours of map release (whether that means to make the map harder or the EE harder is beyond me), the gamemode would have a lot more replay value. As it stands, I tend to just play a round or two of Zombies every once in a while ever since I had to pack my X360 for a move I am currently in the middle of (so I can't play Black Ops 1 or 2, W@W is crap on my PC). Hell, I have gone so far as to create a bunch of classes in the multiplayer representing TF2 characters because I am bored. Trying to play Call of Duty in general anymore is just somehow tiring for me. Not because it is a bad game, but because it feels so stringent. I have yet to complete the 75-win contract to get a Weapon Bribe, and have yet to get a DLC weapon, so I do things like run around with a KRM-262 and an XM-53 because I want to, and people lost their shit on me. Not that I understand why, but they did.

In Zombies, I have grown this idea of "I spin the box, have to use whatever I get, and have to use it whereever the box is" just to try and breathe life into these drab maps. I continuously hope that maybe I can discover something in the map, but by the time the map is announced, people have already found the first step to the EE! So, when Xbox gets the maps, I play it once or twice, shut off the Xbox, and go back to my PC for something else, something that hasn't been dug through by everyone and their brother before I even get there.

So yeah, I don't play as often as I used to. Hell, I am debating leaving Infinite Warfare on the store shelf, not because I have this notion that it is going to be a bad game, but because I have a notion that it won't hold my interest any better than BO3.

Funny thing about the XM-53 thing is that I did it with my brother, and a guy in the lobby told him to break the Xbox. People just don't like when anyone does anything silly anymore.
