1up - Call of Duty haters may not want to rejoice just yet, though.
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.
What goes up must come down.
And stuff, I don't know.
It'll still sell 10-15 million, worldwide, lifetime. Releasing so close to HALO 4 and AC3 has surely had an impact.
why the hell do these people think, "people hate CoD".. no one hates CoD, they hate the fact that the developers get our hard earned money every year, make a billion, and the leave us with a GARBAGE product with horrible matchmaking, horrible map design and even WORSE lag compensation (and no sign of dedicated servers)..... the crap happens every freakin year.. so no, we are not "CoD haters". We hate the crap that thrown in our face every year, that we think is actually going to be something because of the marketing ploy of Activision, only to be disappointed every freakin year...
I've set aside my Black Ops 2 copy until the theater mode is fixed, my gun camo keeps vanishing each time I power down my 360 (I have to reapply it each time). I don't know what to say regarding the lag that seems to be unprecedented in this installment. I don't know if they will fix it since I read that Activision rents the servers from some other company. I love the mechanics of this game but when there is more frustration than pleasure then I play Far Cry 3 and Halo 4. If word of mouth continues to be negative about Black Ops 2 then Activision will eventually have a uphill battle since word of mouth advertising can wear down the reputation of anything when it is bad.
"Call of Duty sales MAY be down, let's write an article about it!"
Desperate. I'm not defending Call of Duty in any way, but the only "proof" we have of this is some analysts predictions, which are always wrong. They've been wrong every single year about Call of Duty, no reason they would be right now.
