Activision Promises a Call of Duty Experience Beyond the TV or PC, Unique to Mobile

Activision wants to create a Call of Duty experience unique to the mobile platform, one that will “evolve” the way customers interact with the brand.

With mobile sales only going “okay” for the company, according to Activision Blizzard’s Jon Estanislao who recently spoke at DMW Games in Los Angeles, Activision is looking into ways they might increase their presence in the mobile market, specifically with the Call of Duty franchise.

You mean like Declassified on the Vita... Lol, what crud that was. (No offense to those who liked it, but the price and the content of the single player was just laughably inexcusable.)

GraveLord4018d ago

Did you play it or are you basing your opinion on internet hate?

Snookies124018d ago (Edited 4018d ago )

I just gave my reasons. The price and the single player. It cost ten dollars more than other Vita games for a campaign that was absolutely pathetic. No, I did not play the game, but I saw enough to know I didn't want to play it, especially not for 50 dollars.

GhettoBlasStarr4018d ago

From all the hate I've seen on the net from people about this game, I thought the same thing..... Until I played it for myself.
And as a handheld game it was pretty good. Probably one of the best shooter for a handheld.

Salooh4018d ago (Edited 4018d ago )

I'm not stupid enough to buy a game like Declassified with that price. Yes, I said stupid because anyone who did buy it supported lazy developers which means he encouraged them to make another stupid game. And people say vita don't sell well -.- . No big games like GTA/GT5/Tekken/Real COD game/BF..etc means vita will fail in sales and gaming. I love my vita but this is the truth

Just touch anywhere on the screen and you will get the kill.

oof464018d ago

I have tried a couple of different first person shooters on my iPod and iPad, and they all left me wanting.

Without dual sticks, a fps just doesn't feel right on a mobile device.

TheGrimOfDeath4018d ago

How about an actual Black Ops game on the PS Vita with a 6-8 hour campaign with a fully fledged Multiplayer and some of that zombies? Like we really need the zombies. No more crap 45 minutes SinglePlayer and incredible knifing distance.

fluffydelusions4018d ago

I don't think PSV will ever get more than 4v4 MP because 4 people is the most psv party chat supports afaik.

imXify4018d ago

Wii had 5v5 with chat enabled and could do anything smoothly like on the HD consoles except for killstreaks like AC130 or Chopper Gunner because the console couldn't render the whole map from the air.

Look, to be honest the FTC should just stop.

MS has A/B and nothing has really changed yet...if you are worried about 5-10 years from now...just drop it cause the future is unpredictable.

Take this week's news, that 4 Xbox exclusive are going Multiplatform.

Yeah man I think Microsoft here getting to probe is kinda wrong unless you only have accessed to necessary information not complete access imo.

Abriael73d ago

Obviously they aren't giving them the password to Sony's computers and telling them "help yourself."

Eonjay72d ago

"Microsoft allowed to probe Sony and Ubisoft"

Sounds hot...

ApocalypseShadow73d ago (Edited 73d ago )

Maybe Microsoft should also talk and get help from their "congressional influencers" at The Capital. They had plenty to say on the matter before the acquisition. They are mighty quiet after the purchase went through. Almost as if they had a stake in the matter.

Abriael72d ago

Could you perhaps explain how this is related? I'm honestly curious since you seem to bring it up rather often.

He is pointing out how corrupt MS is, and how money talks. I think.

KwietStorm_BLM72d ago

I would say read between the lines but it's pretty damn clear as it is.

Bathyj72d ago

You should be careful upsetting Sony too much Microsoft.
You might need them to sell your subpar games soon.

TornRaptor72d ago

The games will become the best things ever all of a sudden.

Bathyj72d ago

Yeah I really doubt that.
I'm struggling to think of one I really cared about missing.

Hofstaderman72d ago

Bwhahahaha. Ain't that the truth.

Mr_cheese72d ago

The only exclusive im personally interested in from Microsoft is Elderscrolls and that's not even got s release date.

Everything else is genuinely of none interest.

OtterX72d ago

Microsoft never waits for the probing to be consensual.

derek72d ago

This isn't a major victory. They're essentially being allowed to call witnesses in regards to agreements they reached with Sony and Ubisoft which was initially blocked because Microsoft didn't make the request through the proper channels. This case is dead, there is no way the ftc will be allowed to unwind this acquisition.

Sephiroushin72d ago

they probably know case is death but want some proof to sue them for a few millions regarding other stuff, the ftc loves to sue everyone, be sure that as soon as all this end they will just go sue MS and end in a settlement.
