I just need to say it to get it out of the way:

The beta files were leaked 4 years ago.

Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all night.

P.S. please take it as a little joke, nothing more, this does not reflect my personal opinion.

Same Game Different Name Joke Is Old & Played Out...Try Again Smh

doogiebear4238d ago (Edited 4238d ago )

@ JetsFool3500:

Yeah but does the fact that the joke is "old and tired", invalidate the fact that the engine too is also old and tired? I don't see your logic, good sir.

The truth doesn't go away with time.

"Joke is Old & Played Out"

Tell me about it. Yet, here it is again, the 5th game without originality.

Enjoy what you want, who am I to tell you what is good and what isn't.

I guess it's the same reason people do things like vote and take sides on political matters and think it actually makes a difference.

Our society is so oblivious to the drones corporations make us into, it is quite sickening.

It won't be old until it stops being true.

Meh, people fail to see how much this game has changed compared to the others. If it was Battlefield, and they made slight changes through each game, everyone would praise it for what it is.

Funny world we live in.
I personally haven't bought CoD for the past 3 years, but I may get Black Ops 2, it looks interesting.

CrimsonessCross4239d ago (Edited 4239d ago )

Honestly it is of no surprise to me if it's true.

Lots of games get leaked and I feel CoD is notorious for being leaked x), especially before release and all.

dvfaa4239d ago

Now hopefully they do an open Beta this time around

PhoenixRising374239d ago

Xbox $70 billion bet paid out

fr0sty254d ago

Guess that's what happens when there's no good new games to play...

4Sh0w254d ago (Edited 254d ago )

Well regardless of exclusives, or whatever else there is to play on Xbox or ps, CoD has has still been the top selling game on ps platform since forever also.....so no surprise that the most popular game franchise on any console could easily have a revival due to servers coming back online...this is just credit to xbox backwards compatibility & thats good thing for Xbox gamers.

wiz7191254d ago

@Frosty orrrr maybe it’s a breath of fresh air to be able to go back to the peak of the series .. and it’s beem great lol

mkis007253d ago

It's going to take 10 years for xbox to generate that much profit...

Rhythmattic253d ago

Why worry when they have OS, Server and Background Data in their hands...
Gaming is just the small piece, at the top left in a few K piece jigsaw.

EasilyTheBest253d ago

If you buy a house with cash for 1 million dollars you still own the house. Microsoft don't need to make the money back.

Rhythmattic251d ago

But its not money back, its about how it goes missing.

jznrpg253d ago

Shooters is what Xbox people play most of the time and that’s about it by the numbers and sales of games.

shinoff2183254d ago

Atkeast older gamers nostalgia is good. Jeez.

Jin_Sakai254d ago

Mostly because the new CoD games are garbage. The old games were much better.

Rutaprkl253d ago

Agree 100%. Cod 4, WaW, Black ops 1 & 2, those were the days.

Rhythmattic253d ago

For MP, Unreal tournament , QIII Arena (loved the UT mod) FTW!

RaidenBlack253d ago

Unreal Tournament and Quake III were simply amazing ... CoD's and CoD-likes' rise killed the arena shooter popularity ...
Unreal Tournament 2004 is my favorite in the series.
Didn't enjoy Unreal Tournament III, Quake Champions that much.
Too bad Epic cancelled Unreal Tournament 2014 becoz of Fortnite

Rhythmattic252d ago (Edited 252d ago )

I got hooked on the QIII Urban Terror mod (and my work colleagues I introduced them to)... LAN Sessions at the closing of the doors at work, into the night , sinking beers and eating pizza..... Good times.

thesoftware730254d ago

Wow, good games never get old I guess.

CoD will always be a beast of a franchise, and how awesome is it that you can just boot it up or pop it into your Xbox and play, MS BC is really a neat feature.

CrimsonWing69254d ago

Shows you that backwards compatibility is a worthwhile feature.

1Victor253d ago

@crimson:” Shows you that backwards compatibility is a worthwhile feature.”
I agree it’s worthy at the start of the generation when there’s few new generation games but halfway through the generation it’s not a feature.
Now it’s good that this game is finding a renewed life for its fan but it shows a mayor flaw in new games release when a close decade old game is toppling the charts

CrimsonWing69253d ago

I don't know if I understand what you mean. It's a feature regardless of the time into the generation.

Let's take Armored Core 6 for example. Let's say I'm interested in checking out the previous Armored Core games, sure would be nice if I could play them on my current-gen console.

We're about 3 years into current-gen and old games are hitting in the top 5 for sales charts in the month.

I do get where you're coming from with older games possibly being better than the newer games, but the feature stays the feature. I can only speak for myself, but when there's a lull in game releases or nothing great is out, I like to go back to old titles. It's just nice to not have to have a bunch of consoles out to do so.

I think moving forward it'll be less and less of an issue as like with the PS5 you can access most all of the PS4 games, but I like going back to PS1 and PS2. Would be awesome to kind of make backwards compatibility a prioritized feature moving forward. Hell, Sony was the first to implement it.
