Call of Duty Fans Storm and Damage Activision Booth due to Reckless Contest at Italian Gaming Event

Giuseppe Nelva writes: "When I saw a press release from Activision announcing a contest to be held at Milan's Games Week event, in which the first 500 fans to enter the booth to try Call of Duty: Ghosts were to be given a copy of the game's Prestige Edition for free, I knew there was going to be trouble, and I'm quite sure I wasn't the only one."

Dammit I thought someone had said.

"COD sux BF4 FTW!!!xD which had riled them up.

Abriael3829d ago (Edited 3829d ago )

Lol, when you tell people "hey get in first, we'll give you a 200 bucks special edition of COD for free!" you don't really need much else.

SilentNegotiator3828d ago

What an incredibly stupid contest idea. It's like a poorly planned Black Friday sale's worth of stupidity, times 10.

"GURRR HURR DURR COD FANZ"

Like this wouldn't happen with any free $200 product.

kayoss3829d ago

If people willing to hurt others for a discount on Black Friday... What makes you think they will act civil for something free?

Abriael3829d ago

Haha, we don't have Black Friday in Italy (I wish we did). That's probably why they didn't predict it :D

jobboy3829d ago

right, we imported that stupid halloween practice.....time to import Black friday over here!! lol

sAVAge_bEaST3828d ago

Your not missing anything, Black Friday makes me feel humiliated to be an American (consumer frenzies are not cool, parking is a nightmare).

obliterator3829d ago

Lmao. Wish I would have been there to take part in damaging.... Ehm pacifying the crowd.

bobsmith3829d ago

when they first announced this I was thinking man I dont want to buy the game and season pass for 110$ when people are just gona get it free
I cant resist tho cods the best the other games I was gona get instead couldnt deliver again I pre ordered ill pass on season pass though

Soldierone3829d ago

Does Black Friday teach you nothing? lol

Abriael3829d ago

There's no black friday in Italy. Darn it :D

Soldierone3829d ago

Its nothing to be jealous over. Stores just open at night, put maybe 3 TV's on sell, and 100's of people kill each other to get one of them. lol

NarooN3828d ago

You're not missing anything. Sure, the sales are amazing... yet the stores themselves are literally filled to the brim with so many people to the point you can only tip-toe to anywhere you need to be. Then by the time you get to anything you actually wanted, it's already been raped and they're out of stock or what have you.

You're better off trying to take advantage of deals online or something. People go crazy at the stores. I remember routinely seeing people actually camping out in RV's and such, right in front of the store.

Rivitur3828d ago

Cyber Monday is where it's at though worst case scenario someone steals your credit card info or cyber bullying. : D

All Call of Duty Games Ranked from Worst to Best

BLG writes: "Call of Duty has to be the most recognizable franchise on the planet. They didn’t get that way by only making a handful of games.

COD has a long and storied career. Launching as a PC WW2 first-person shooter, Call of Duty has gone through numerous makeovers and been on just about every system. The series has gone through some serious highs and tragic lows. I’ll be looking at each Call of Duty game, the good the bad, and the ugly."

Vanguard better be at the fkn bottom. Can’t believe ppl haven’t eviscerated that game with all its lacking

Minimoth793d ago

Yeah, it's close to the bottom. There are a couple of worse ones. Infinite Warfare definitely deserves its place.

KyRo793d ago

There's a number a lot worse than Vangaurd. It's also a lot better than that car crash Treyarch released before it.

XbladeTeddy793d ago

World at War is my favourite. Didn't know the N-Gage had a Call of Duty.

MadLad792d ago

Same for me.
I was never huge into Call of Duty, but I sunk a lot of time into WaW.
Both the campaign and the multiplayer are on point. Wouldn't mind a remaster.

I quit on CoD for a long while. Though I'm the odd man out that actually really enjoyed the campaign for WWII, being I got it through Humble monthly way back when.

TheLigX793d ago

I really enjoyed the Infinite campaign. Multiplayer... not so much.

Yppupdam793d ago

I agree, The Infinite campaign feels more like it's own thing that they slapped the CoD name on. If it stood on it's own, (sans the CoD name) I think it could have been it's own scifi franchise. And a damn good looking game, to boot. I never bothered to play the multiplayer.

victorMaje793d ago

MW 2019 apart from the desastrous file sizes is way better than AW.

MadLad792d ago

That was one I grabbed for Playstation because it pretty much just came out during the Redbox purge of videogames, and I got it for dirt cheap.

It was great coming home to an update every night, and watching one game eat up almost half my console's memory.

Amplitude793d ago (Edited 793d ago )

Will get disagrees but Infinite Warfare campaign was really good. Decent story, set pieces were amazing and if it didn't have the CoD game on it I'm sure people would have been more into it. Advanced Warfare was alright too. Titanfall 2 was just 1000 times better than both but I enjoyed them for their campaigns. I literally barely gaf about the story I'm in it for the set pieces and 5 hours of being stoned watching cool nonsense happen if I'm in the mood to play a CoD campaign. If I'm looking for a deep plot I'm gonna go somewhere else.
Ghosts was the worst story-wise though lol that cliffhanger ending was so bs.

Also MW 2019 was sick and is one of the best CoD games in yeeeears not sure why it's so low on this dude's list. Campaign was great, multiplayer was great and Warzone was fun for a while. Over it now but shrugs.

Beat the Vanguard campaign too but I can't even remember a single thing about it other than that it felt like it was 45 minutes long. Might be the most forgettable thing I've ever played lol just fully erased from my brain

Wore implementation I've ever seen,.. guess it just does not work all that great on every engine

MarkyMark891754d ago (Edited 1754d ago )

Agree, but this gives me hope that one day Ray Tracing can be a software based feature and not require some type of proprietary hardware to achieve. Software will always outpace Hardware so it could happen, but I feel like its going to take a lot more time to achieve the same level that RTX has already shown glimpses of so far. Really just waiting for Cyberpunk to see if RTX is actually something viable. I think if anybody can truly showcase RTX Features it would be Projekt Red.

zeal0us1754d ago

Too bad it doesn't make Mankind Divided a better game.

starchild1754d ago

It doesn't need to, the game was already fantastic, imo.

zeal0us1753d ago

Human Revolution was a better game and not to mention longer.

isarai1754d ago

Reshade is not raytracing, its a screen space post processing effect. Thats like calling SSAO "global illumination"
