FEATURE: Love it or Hate it, Call of Duty is Huge

Mountain_duwe of 8bitfix writes: Extending yet another record, MW3 made an obscene $775 million in its first five days, eclipsing the $650 million set by Black Ops one year prior, which surpassed the $550 million made by Modern Warfare 2 a year before that. Call of Duty has become like a yearly holiday of sorts. Every November, you can expect a new CoD game to release, for thousands of people across the world to call in sick and begin their climb towards digital dominance. How did we get here?

Don't hate it, just don't play it. Rather log in on BF3. "Hey pick up that ammo"...

no doubt about it, most people hate it....... its the stupid OCD that make them keep buying that garbage... this time next year, the majority of people will be complaining about the next one..

GraveLord4490d ago

Funny thing is that the people(trolls)complaining about how much COD sucks don't even play it. They see some youtube video of some buy cheating to go 200-4 and think that's how the game is.

I've seen lots of Skyrim glitch videos making the game almost unplayable. That doesn't mean thats how the game plays all the time, its a glitch.

In MW3s case, its glitchers/cheaters/boosters that are trying to give the game a bad reputation and you trolls are eating it up.

The game is pop garbage now, its as "casual" as the word itself. There's nothing unique or innovative about the game anymore, just lazy devs cashing in on popularity.

That day when Activision fired Jason and Vince

“Jason and Vince just got fired!” A lead artist shouted, as he rode in on one of the many small kick-push scooters that would typically lay around the studio. He quickly scooted away to some other part of the office space to spread that shocking message.

Activision would say that to all their victims. Here’s money now get over it.

A friend worked there in production and was miserable due to working with IW and with ATVI. When he complained to his VP about it, he was told...be glad you have a job and are making games.

mastershredder71d ago

Sounds about right, but is also sounds like something Infinity Ward would say. They made their own bed and cashed in hard to do it. F em.

That sucks, but that’s corporate America. I mean, they could’ve turned down the money and leave to Respawn too. At least they got something, my corporation would’ve probably expected everyone to go back to normal.

I mean, if my company wants to give me a bonus and raise my salary by 50%, I'd get over whatever the hell they wanted me to. 🤷‍♂️

Another dev team for call of duty, like there isn't enough currently........ yayyyy

Well this atleast partly confirms yearly releases are definitely remaining, doubling down if anything.

Rynxie150d ago

That's what we need, two call of duties every year. I'm calling it.

Brazz150d ago

Hopefully, with more studios they can make better COD, 4h campaings are unacceptable.
