I can imagine this coming out of any developers mouth that works on games not named Call of Duty. But Jeez louise! As I read that very newsworthy piece of information..I had to chime in with that very quote.
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.
The famous comedy duo is the latest example of pop culture becoming one big grey blob
Certain to have some sort of reference to their online store for CBD/THC chews, which is advertising heavily online the last month or two.
The randomness of the multiplayer characters is one of reason I quit playing COD after briefly returning in 2022. We got Space Marines, rappers, tree monsters etc. all in a series called “ Modern Warfare”.
I think if there was ever a time for a competitor to rise up and take away some of Call of Duty's thunder, the time would be now. A military shooter that takes itself seriously, not sold out to Fortnitism. Easier said than done, I know... but the time is ripe.
I can't stand this stuff either.
There are tons of MP shooters that make no profit, if you're looking for one of those
You guys have been saying this shit since 2009. Fortunately, nobody’s bringing down cod anytime soon, if ever.
I agree. I really didn't like how the silliness takes away the gritty origins. That and all the crazy effects... dunno. I'm still playing it but I'd love for someone to steal their cheese and cater to grittier players
@fsfsxii It's not so much wanting COD itself to die as it is wanting this silliness to die. Like CrazyCoconuts said, it takes from the grittiness. Many OG COD players want a straightup Military shooter experience, not silly costume time at Carnival.
is this what the kids want these days a pair of iconic stoners who were big in the 70s and have kind of held on I enjoyed their movies decades ago but I never recall the movie where cheech infiltrates a enemy base while chong snipes for support guess I must of missed that one
Man I'm getting to old for this
From Bootleg to Black Box, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 made a heartbreaking mistake by not remastering the bizarrely forgotten maps from its namesake.
Not sure what's more sad, the fact people keep buying this game every year, or that this is Activisions only game which can bring them money.
It's like Activision has people brainwashed in their cult. A mediocre FPS game where all you do is run around shooting each other. It's not different from any other shooters and yet people still buy it more.
Tons of hate on the internet and it obviously shows...no one wants this game at all.
It's a fun game to get in and out of (which is a big deal since our lives are so busy these days...especially if your in college or graduated) and it's twitch based fun. It's basically instant action.
I play Halo, BF and COD as my multiplayer games so I switch it up depending on my mood that day but to say COD is mediocre when it's a sales and hype phenomenon every year I think is a bit asinine.
And don't give me the sales doesn't equal quality because if people weren't happy with the quality of the game they're buying, they wouldn't keep buying later iterations of the initial game. While I think it's true some very good games go under the sales radar, it is an indicator of the quality of the game or franchise
The only game I think would out sale COD is a Final Fantasy 7 remake.
At this point COD is THAT game....the hottest "IT" game going.
The fact its a multiplat is even better for the devs as it doesnt divide gamers.
At this point I dont see any current franchise taking it out. Each year the game comes out its bound to get BIGGER...because IMO the few that decide to skip it and move on because there bored etc....there are just as many NEW players jumping on board.
Like say your lil bro or sis or nephew who is finally old enough to play it. I say activision is in a sweet position as they have a solid money maker for the next who knows HOW many years.
I dont see Halo or Battlefield doing anything...both great franchises. But at this point COD...WONT be topped as far as sales goes...
...quality and gameplay...thats another story and VERY subjective.
