Gamervision's Jonathan Cooper writes, "Later this year, EA's rebooted Medal of Honor will compete against Activision's Call of Duty, bringing the two head-to-head for the first time in a few years. In the PS2 era, the two were nearly on an even level, and it wasn't until the current generation that Medal of Honor fell to Call of Duty, mostly thanks to Infinity Ward's dominance with Call of Duty 2 and the final nail in the coffin, Modern Warfare. For some time, it seemed as though it was going to be an easy win for Activision, and there was little reason to believe that the reboot would be able to top the $1 billion earner in CoD. However, recent happenings make this seem like more and more of a possibility, and there's historical evidence that EA may be ready to overtake Call of Duty in 2010, or at least take back some ground."
Do you remember what gaming was like before Fortnite entered the gaming space? One of the biggest arguments was about loot boxes. Now we have conversations about crossovers, battle passes, and community outreach.
Idk. Loot boxes did disappear and battle passes and in game purchases are all cosmetic. We get free weapons and maps post launch, any gameplay affecting content. I could care less about all the cosmetics.
I absolutely hated the days where weapons were locked behind a less than 1% chance lootbox pull where it'd take 5+ hours to have enough tokens to do a single pull and lazy remastered/remake maps cost you $15 each wave or $50 for the season pass that you didn't know what you'd get and these maps were only available to those that bought it so you get a smaller pool of players match with.
Call of duty can simply not copy the bad aspects of Fortnite? Or is that too out of this world? Like COD, a realistic shooter-just HAD to have Nicki Minaj running around? Or super heroes?
MW 2019 is five years old at this point and on previous gen hardware, but it is still the best looking Call of Duty game to date.
MW was an excellent videogame. They messed up Spec Ops big time, but aside from this it was a huge step in the right direction initially. Most notably, at launch it seemed to come from a very cohesive creative vision that was felt across gameplay, to story to art style/visual direction. It was also very notably written by prominent ex-Naughty Dog guys that quit almost immediately before release.
That COMPLETELY dissolved through post-launch content and the full pivot to a "cross-mode" narrative that completely obliterated the cohesion in overall story direction. Warzone then "became" the new face of Call of Duty and the franchise completely removed itself from anything remotely creatively "good". It is a pure money machine, so I kinda get why they're doing it....but I personally completely lost interest.
I would love to see Infinity Ward move off CoD and get to make their own product with full control. They clearly have some massive talent in their ranks but it's perverted by Activision's corporate interests.
The Black Ops Gulf War leaks continue with a list of weapon descriptions giving more info on what you can expect from new and returning weapons.
Call of what now? they must meant can Medal of honor dethrone Battlefield Bad company.
If it doesn't have bugs then yes.
If it is balanced then yes.
If the story makes sense and offers closure then yes.
Meh first it was Halo. Then Battlefield:BC2, and now MOH. To be completely honest with you i think COD killed it self. Heck i didn't even buy the game from my experience with it's mediocre single player and buggiest online component yet
