How Call Of Duty Keeps Us Coming Back

Infinity Ward has officially announced Call of Duty: Ghosts with a release date of November 5th on Xbox 360, PS3, PC, and next gen consoles. If you are anything like me, you’re a bit skeptical on buying it. Let’s take a look at how Call of Duty has pulled us in. (Spoilers below)

Activision is definitely doing something right when it comes to COD.

1,Heavy aim assist.
2.60FPS
3.Punish good players and reward bad players.
Pretty much that's why.

Punish good players and reward bad ones? Clearly you have never played CoD. Good consistent players always bring in high scores.

I'm a PS3 user, I never bought and I will never buy that POS game. I can't believe PS users still buy it, year after year, even if it's a POS version

That they are. I was a fan until MW3. I hated MW3, but supported Blops2 because of Treyarch. Unfortunately I didn't like that game either. Black Ops1 will forever be my best CoD and I don't think it will ever be topped by any other CoD game. I will not buy Ghosts, that's for sure. Dark Souls 2 is where I am spending all my time since Dark Souls is my best game of the generation.

to your above comment, you're saying death streaks dont award bad players? Like in MW2 the painkiller. why should i have to use more ammo to kill the idiot that died 5 times cause he can't aim.

I_LOVE_MYSELF4011d ago

Painkiller sucks, but are you telling me that is more of an award than being good and dropping game ending nukes or getting chopper gunner consistently? Nah, didn't think so.

KwietStorm_BLM4011d ago

Well of course they are. They've made predictability and preying on the complacent look like a science.

CJRearick4012d ago

Call of duty will also be something I preorder.

Meh.....Its been Done *Pulls head back in car and drives off

First few comments seem to be from viral marketers. Nice to know how publishers and gaming press they pimp are keeping the hype train running like a well-oiled machine.

Keep it up guys, I at least am made well aware of what products to avoid. ;)

They better take out ghost/assassin

Call of Duty Players Disappointed by $80 B.E.A.S.T. Glove Bundle Deal

Recently, players of Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone were met with a new bundle featuring the B.E.A.S.T. Glove, inspired by King Kong's armament in the Godzilla x Kong movie. However, the $80 price tag attached to this themed accessory left many Call of Duty fans feeling underwhelmed.

Morons that allow themselves to be milked continuously by this company is the definition of irony.
Spend more $$ and you'll end up In easier lobbies so you win both ways when ya spend that cash

Controversy in the COD community feels like it happens within an alternate timeline. Activision will take the piss with something, there will be a momentary fuss about it, and then they will forget about it and carry on anyway. Repeat this cycle literally every year for the rest of time.

They call that a crack head! Thats what this is really about, its an addiction. People who dont smoke cigarettes look and laugh at the addicts that spend $8-$10 a pack, but they cant help themselves, they are addicted. That same analogy applies perfectly to the whole MT industry. Only an addict that was not thinking clearly would spend this kind of money on something so frivolous. A round of multiplayer provides the same high a person gets from scratching a lotto ticket, or putting money on a sports bet. MT in general need to really be regulated because you have a generation of kids becoming adults who grew up only knowing the MT era of gaming. Its normal to them and they will in turn teach their kids the same by just being a gaming parent and getting their kids involved with them in gaming. Thats why no matter how ridiculous the headlines keep getting out of the MT industry, it never seems to fade or go away.

I'm so tired of hearing about what they're doing with this game, its never going to change and it's never going to value the consumer over money, furthermore the people who engage so heavily in the microtransactions I guess allegedly are having a blast and can't wait to do it some more this year when the new version of the game drops.
