For the first time in years I’ve decided that I’m not going to pre-order a Call of Duty game, and I’m not going to buy it a month or two after the fact despite the possibility of a price drop. It’s not for any of the reasons that a very vocal group of gamers perpetually complain about, with their constant disparaging remarks showing up in the comments section of nearly every Call of Duty article or video. It’s not because I think it’s a bad game either, or even that I think EA has done a better job with their franchises, like Battlefield, and that Medal of Honor: Warfighter will be a better first-person shooter.
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?
I prefer the battle passes with free maps than the $50 season pass that divided the community. I definitely feel that Fortnite had some influence on CoD having loot boxes with Blackout being introduced in 2018 with Black Ops 4.
Actually Fortnite bullshit ruined Unreal Tournament. Epic are sellouts and I will never have that shitty store on my PC, fuck them and that shit bag Tim Sweeney. At least the community keeps the games alive, I still play UT2004.
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.
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.
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.
I know I've called it quits at Modern Warfare 3 for many reasons and I'm happy to have moved on and have been happily playing other games :)
i broke my mw3 copy i got addicted to it so bad i would tell my gf off if she try to bother me while playing it so i broke it and im happy life is so enjoyable now without it
I only touched mw3 to finish my fight with the campaign. I havent supported Infinity Ward since I realized what junk they produced when it comes to levep design ( map packs ). However treyarch is the developer I now support cause I for one enjoyed what the did for black ops .so my addiction will carry over to black ops 2
I agree. Infinity Ward really dropped the ball on MW3 and the whole Elite memberships. I can only think of maybe three maps of the DLC that were actually good while the others lacked imagination that Black Ops DLC had. And then there were the Face Off maps. I felt ripped off that I was paying for maps that are only 1v1 to 3v3 only. I tried them and all I encountered were players who would camp, glitch out of the map or quit if I or my teammate were winning.
I wish I could say that me not buying the next MW4 game will send a message but I am merely a drop in the bucket.
