Call of Duty Ghosts: Why It Could a Timed Exclusive for Xbox 720

"You have to hand it to Activision and Infinity Ward – they didn’t make much effort to hide the fact that Call of Duty: Ghosts existed. Though there’s been plenty of rumours and disinformation as to whether we’d be receiving Modern Warfare 4 or not, there have been plenty of leaks by retailers online as of late."

The game it self won't be timed exclusive but the dlc could very well be to MS consoles

ltachiUchiha4000d ago

Yeah I agree. MS will prolly have sum timed exclusive dlc but I dont think activision would risk losing potential playstation customers.

shoddy4000d ago (Edited 4000d ago )

Just like black ops 1-2, mw 1-3.
It would be a good idea for MS cause they need more exclusive to make the system stand out.

I never buy maps cause by the time the maps time out, a new COD come out like a month later.

S_C4000d ago

Put it like this i'm 50/50 on getting this game. I will probs only get it because it's on next gen and to see if they make a big leap like they did with MW. So if they did do a console exclusive to 720 they would be missing out on a ton of money, i'll be getting a PS4 btw

Root4000d ago

I doubt it...Activision loves money, by the time it comes out of it's exclusive contract you'd only have a few months untill the next COD is announced.

The point of COD is too make as much money as they can before they announce the next one

MikeMyers4000d ago

Didn't you also advocate for GTA V to be timed exclusive on the PS4? People should either be against timed exclusive deals or for them. Not pick and choose because they like one company more than the other.

If Activision loves money then why are they doing exclusive stuff for the PS4 and Destiny? See, being biased doesn't always give reasonable messages on forums.

Root4000d ago

Typical you bringing up stuff which doesn't need to be brought up since it's not relevant at all.

First of all COD and GTA are two very different things...especially quality and development time wise.

Secondly I only said it would be huge for Sony if they got a game like GTA as an exclusive

http://n4g.com/news/1243261...

I've never said anything about how it SHOULD be an exclusive.

So yeah...go chew on that for a while and in the future Mike don't twist peoples words to cause an argument like what you do on my comments, DragonKnights and other peoples comments

MikeMyers4000d ago

So it would be huge for Sony but COD: Ghosts on the next Xbox not so huge? Got it. Oh and Rockstar doesn't want money but only Activision? Got it. You're right, the DLC for GTA IV was free and a gesture on their part. Otherwise Rockstar cares less about money than Activision.

Of course this is all relevant. It's about 3rd party publishers making exclusive deals in the past and moving forward. You also neglected to mention Destiny, a title that Activision is also behind.

This is what happens when you side with one company over the other. You start pushing the goal posts to suit your own argument. So either you're supportive for timed exclusive content or your not. These double standards need to go away, they don't serve any purpose other than to divide communities.

Hicken4000d ago

The difference is that there's only been one GTA, so people are eagerly awaiting the next one. Having it as ANY sort of exclusive for one console would be huge when it comes to the next generation; it could well sway some people's purchases come this holiday.

Call of Duty, being a multiplayer-focused game, is a little different. People will get it for the console most of their friends are getting. That aside, it wouldn't surprise anybody- and thus not have the same type of swaying power- if it was timed exclusive or got similar content for next gen, because it's been happening all THIS gen.

And, again, why do I never see you go after anybody who could be considered a MS fan/fanboy?

Root4000d ago

"And, again, why do I never see you go after anybody who could be considered a MS fan/fanboy?"

because he is one...

MikeMyers4000d ago

I'm not the one advocating for timed exclusive games on one platform and then flip-flopping when it comes to a competing system. I'm also not pushing the goal posts further and further while the debate goes on. That's twice now you've responded and still ignored Destiny having exclusive content on the PS4 and being an Activision game. Or is that irrelevant because you say so?

According to you Activision loves money more than anyone even though they have signed an exclusive agreement for CoD already with Microsoft. Even though before that contract previous CoD games on the PS3 were the highest selling of all PS3 games. That contract was in the middle of 2010. CoD was already a huge franchise by then on consoles. Your whole point doesn't make much sense other than you'd prefer it not be because you don't want the series being favored on the next Xbox. I'm sure you'd be a little more positive if it were on the PS4. You have however said it would be huge if GTA was timed exclusive on the PS4. A series that used to actually have timed exclusive deals way back on the PS2.

"GTA huge on the PS4
CoD not gonna happen on the next Xbox"

My how our optimism all of the sudden changes depending on which system the 3rd party publishers favor over the other.

WOW your 100% correct and u get two disagrees ? n4g for you!

ichimaru4000d ago

would rather MS invest in some other timed exclusive. actually Any other timed exclusive. I'm all Call of Duty'd out this gen and next gen

JeffGUNZ3999d ago

I am actually pretty eager to see what they will do with this game on a next gen engine.

Majin-vegeta4000d ago

If this were to happen.All Activision would be doing is shooting themselves in the foot and giving EA an upper hand.Most people wouldnt wait around for a game to release they would look for the next great shooter BF and let me tell you once you get a taste of BF little to no lag gameplay and awesome vehicle combat.Its hard to move away.

ichimaru4000d ago

im a hardcore bf3 fan, I'm actually going to hop on a clan server in a bit.
but you can't seriously say it has no lag. that's my only gripe with the game apart from the low framerate. when it comes to 24 players with jets,helos and tanks, framerate needs to be on point

Mikeyy3995d ago

You must be choosing your servers based on highest ping ichimaru, It's supposed to be lowest ping, BTW.

To be honest, lag is the LAST thing you have to worry about in Battlefield.

If you wan't to know what lag is, play BO2...

MoB214000d ago

Why, because they know that people who primarily play Xbox is their target demographic (12 year old kids)?

All Call of Duty Games Ranked from Worst to Best

BLG writes: "Call of Duty has to be the most recognizable franchise on the planet. They didn’t get that way by only making a handful of games.

COD has a long and storied career. Launching as a PC WW2 first-person shooter, Call of Duty has gone through numerous makeovers and been on just about every system. The series has gone through some serious highs and tragic lows. I’ll be looking at each Call of Duty game, the good the bad, and the ugly."

Vanguard better be at the fkn bottom. Can’t believe ppl haven’t eviscerated that game with all its lacking

Minimoth798d ago

Yeah, it's close to the bottom. There are a couple of worse ones. Infinite Warfare definitely deserves its place.

KyRo798d ago

There's a number a lot worse than Vangaurd. It's also a lot better than that car crash Treyarch released before it.

XbladeTeddy798d ago

World at War is my favourite. Didn't know the N-Gage had a Call of Duty.

MadLad797d ago

Same for me.
I was never huge into Call of Duty, but I sunk a lot of time into WaW.
Both the campaign and the multiplayer are on point. Wouldn't mind a remaster.

I quit on CoD for a long while. Though I'm the odd man out that actually really enjoyed the campaign for WWII, being I got it through Humble monthly way back when.

TheLigX798d ago

I really enjoyed the Infinite campaign. Multiplayer... not so much.

Yppupdam798d ago

I agree, The Infinite campaign feels more like it's own thing that they slapped the CoD name on. If it stood on it's own, (sans the CoD name) I think it could have been it's own scifi franchise. And a damn good looking game, to boot. I never bothered to play the multiplayer.

victorMaje798d ago

MW 2019 apart from the desastrous file sizes is way better than AW.

MadLad797d ago

That was one I grabbed for Playstation because it pretty much just came out during the Redbox purge of videogames, and I got it for dirt cheap.

It was great coming home to an update every night, and watching one game eat up almost half my console's memory.

Amplitude798d ago (Edited 798d ago )

Will get disagrees but Infinite Warfare campaign was really good. Decent story, set pieces were amazing and if it didn't have the CoD game on it I'm sure people would have been more into it. Advanced Warfare was alright too. Titanfall 2 was just 1000 times better than both but I enjoyed them for their campaigns. I literally barely gaf about the story I'm in it for the set pieces and 5 hours of being stoned watching cool nonsense happen if I'm in the mood to play a CoD campaign. If I'm looking for a deep plot I'm gonna go somewhere else.
Ghosts was the worst story-wise though lol that cliffhanger ending was so bs.

Also MW 2019 was sick and is one of the best CoD games in yeeeears not sure why it's so low on this dude's list. Campaign was great, multiplayer was great and Warzone was fun for a while. Over it now but shrugs.

Beat the Vanguard campaign too but I can't even remember a single thing about it other than that it felt like it was 45 minutes long. Might be the most forgettable thing I've ever played lol just fully erased from my brain

Wore implementation I've ever seen,.. guess it just does not work all that great on every engine

MarkyMark891759d ago (Edited 1759d ago )

Agree, but this gives me hope that one day Ray Tracing can be a software based feature and not require some type of proprietary hardware to achieve. Software will always outpace Hardware so it could happen, but I feel like its going to take a lot more time to achieve the same level that RTX has already shown glimpses of so far. Really just waiting for Cyberpunk to see if RTX is actually something viable. I think if anybody can truly showcase RTX Features it would be Projekt Red.

zeal0us1759d ago

Too bad it doesn't make Mankind Divided a better game.

starchild1759d ago

It doesn't need to, the game was already fantastic, imo.

zeal0us1758d ago

Human Revolution was a better game and not to mention longer.

isarai1759d ago

Reshade is not raytracing, its a screen space post processing effect. Thats like calling SSAO "global illumination"
