Cody was a-okay with the original Colin McRae DiRT and the first GRID game, I enjoyed DiRT2 and DiRT3, heck, they even made Operation Flashpoint which is way better than CoD and BF series combined, while not as hardcore as ARMA series do. Their downfall starts with DiRT 4 GRiD 2019.
I haven't really picked up a racing game in a while, but would Dirt really be any better or different than the deluge of other racing sims? N4S? Forza? Gran Turismo? F1? And woah, woah, lets slow the roll on OF being better than CoD. Cod gets a bad rap, but ever since COD 4, they have been killing it. Zombies in itself is a fully fledged game and it's included with most of their games since WAW. I was a person that thought BO4 was going to be absolute shite with omitting a campaign and using a health syringe every time you take damage and I just loved the shit out of that game. Cold War kind of sucks, but the level they put into the games is immense. Warzone just feels like such gun porn. Being able to modify guns in so many different ways. I dunno. Whatever Operation Flashpoint was included with Games With Gold on Xbox, I played and I wasn't a fan. Way too clunky. Maybe you have fond old memories? All my memories of Codemasters were their horrific soundtracks in 90's games. They had this distinct awful tone that you could really tell it was them just by hearing it. I forgot what it sounds like and hopefully it stays that way.
Their downfall starts with DiRT 4 GRiD 2019.
