Kotaku - Whenever a military-themed shooter comes out, the first thing many people say is "oh great, here comes another Call of Duty clone". It's a term used as a slur against a game, saying that it's not just copying another game, it's copying another game that for many has long run out of ideas.
Why, then, is it so hard for people who are copying Call of Duty to actually pull it off and do just as good, if not better, than Call of Duty?
This may be ideal for collectors.
Produits Artistiques Métaux Précieux (PAMP), the world’s leading precious metals brand, and Call of Duty have collaborated to bring fans and collectors worldwide the PAMP x Call of Duty Limited Edition Collection.
Weapons that will allegedly feature in Treyarch's new Call of Duty game indicate the return of a classic COD Zombies gun from long ago.
Season OG and new experiences like Fortnite Lego fuelled a massive jump in user.
CoD is usually right behind Fortnite on the most played lists of Xbox live and PSN. Fortnite has more players than its nearest competitors, or its players play substantially more. Another possibility is that Fortnite’s most hardcore players largely [or soley ]play just Fortnite.
There was 2.4 million people playing Lego Fortnite a while back but it’s dropped off the map since there’s a huge lack of content and the game is riddled with bugs and server lag. They pretty much sent it out to die.
Crazy how this hasn't died off yet
To hear kids talk about this and asking for money to buy things from the store saddens me. They'd rather have virtual stuff than ask for brand new cool looking games.
Not surprised there's so many lil kids that understand how to play fortnite, I never been into it I rather play COD campaign and I don't even like COD no more cause it's all about multiplayer and paid add on bullshhi
Not surprised so many kids like to play and females too, I know females who love fortnite idk why but won't play gems like AC origins, God of War 2018&2022 or the previous ones, alan wake, I tried fortnite for like 30 mins and Uninstalled that shhi I rather play COD campaign n that says alot cause I'm not even into COD no more cause it's all bou multiplayer and pay for shhi that shoulda been unlockable in the game
its called marketing. a company that owns CoD, Diablo, Starcraft, World of Warcraft which are some of the most powerful brands in the world. where do you expect these companies to get the type of revenue that Activsion/Blzzard gets to market their games. i'll give you an example, as we all know that the internet is the most popular form of entertainment these days, everyone is connected to internet. i go to youtube fairly often, every channel that has the ability to display ads was showing nothing but the CoD trailer hell even right they are still showing the ads. i go to watch tv and every channel i watch there is a CoD trailer showing during the commercial breaks. it all has to do with marketing, look at homefront for instance that game sold 3 million. you think that game would have sold that much if THQ did not push a heavy marketing campaign? NO.
Cause to be better then cod you have to innovate and that's something we don't see in the industry much anymore :/ the only games that seem to innovate are genres that are not multiplayer like bioshock games or exclusives like gears of war 3 and killzone 2 both of which had great multiplayer and could have been bigger then cod if they were multiplatform.
One day it will happen. Just not today. However a lot of people now prefer battlefield.
"If Everything’s a Call of Duty Clone, Why Can’t Anyone Outdo Call of Duty?"
Far Cry 3 is coming out in less than a month.
Its already been out done by a lot of franchises/games just not in the sales department.
