Call of Duty Access Plan Would be Slam Dunk For Xbox One

Hardcore Gamer: Teaming up with Xbox for a Call of Duty Access Plan -- a console that already gets all of the series' DLC packs early -- would make Xbox One the unquestionable home of the franchise.

If you could access all of the past Call of Duty games on the Xbox One, I don't think a lot of gamers would ever play another console again.

user74029313553d ago (Edited 3553d ago )

speak for yourself. i cannot stand the xbox controller when i play call of duty games.

@valkilmer well now you have

ValKilmer3553d ago

I have to be honest -- I've never heard anybody say that before.

christocolus3553d ago (Edited 3553d ago )

That's so weird cos the xbox one controller feels very comfy..to be honest its one of the reasons my friends and i do most of our gaming on xbx. when it comes to shooters the controller feels great.its spot on. The triggers and the thumbsticks are very well placed especially for shooters.

Its the first time I've seen any gamer complain about playing any shooting game with the controller.

poor_cus_of_games3553d ago

I agree. The xbox pad is horrible. Sticks in the wrong places.

4Sh0w3553d ago (Edited 3553d ago )

@DirtyPimp/poor cus of games, yeah I can't say its the first time I heard such statements but its very rare, then again the last time I heard that it was also on n4g.

Xbox controller is awesome, its preference but I also see them used a lot more often on PC than I do for ps controllers. Browsing pc sites and gaming accessory sites has plenty more controllers which emulate the design of xbox controllers because so many people like the setup/layout of xbox controller.

UnHoly_One3552d ago

Being as how 99% of your posts are trolling Xbox, I can't say I put much faith in your choice of controller.

Mikeyy3552d ago

50% of the cod playerbase is on Playstation, and even more so on the next gen version.

So saying the xbox controller is the preferred cod controller is simply false.

Advertising makes cod an xbox game. Reality and sales say otherwise.

troylazlow3552d ago

And lets not forget about the rumble in the triggers. If you haven't tried it you are missing out. it adds a whole new sense immersion to it.

700p3552d ago

BUT the xbox controller is one of the best out there.

strangeaeon3552d ago (Edited 3552d ago )

I prefer the asymmetrical thumbsticks, you can get better purchase with your thumbs when turning quickly.

user14394143552d ago

I prefer PC gaming for FPS like Call of Duty and Battlefield and use a keyboard and mouse. Even if they brought all the games to the Xbox One Call of Duty 2 would still be in 720p 30fps like the rest of the cods on the XBONE.

SonofGod3552d ago

I have NEVER heard anyone say that before. And considering the fact that you have consistently been trolling almost every Xbox article, no one should take your comment seriously.

That or you got some sort of mutant hands.

You're probably on of those people who wants the PS4 to be the only console in the world and Sony getting no competition from other companies am I right?

Hating the competition's product is retarded.

DigitalRaptor3552d ago

@ SonofGod

"That or you got some sort of mutant hands."

Excuse me whilst i laugh for a sec.

The human hands are of SYMMETRICAL design.

The Xbox controller is of ASYMMETRICAL design.

If there are any group of gamers out there more comfortable with the Xbox controllers, then I would have a case to claim that they have some sort of mutant hands.

headblackman3552d ago (Edited 3552d ago )

@DirtyPimp

a real gamer can play with any controller. and being that the x1 controller is the best in the game, there is no real excuse other than brand loyalty. it's not cheating on your girlfriend to play on the x1 or to give it credit. it's just a video game just like the ps4 is just a video game. stop treating this situation like gang wars!

It depends if the Xbox one can run the game better than ps4

Bigpappy3552d ago

This is a no go. It can't be just COD.

Deano73943552d ago

Past Call of Duty games are practically dead and full of hackers. Every year the masses flock to the new COD so why would people want to play the past games when all their friends will most likely be playing the newest iteration.

For previous COD games? Incredibly unlikely that will have any meaningful impact. For future COD games then it would be a big deal

spike3553d ago

Dirty Pimp is just a fan boy. Dont pay attention to this moron.

TheFallenAngel3553d ago (Edited 3553d ago )

Wow people are still trying to find ways to save the xbone? Jesus. Not being a fanboy. Xbone don't need saving because it's doing ok. But all these articles saying how xbox could have advantages because of this or that is retarded.

Soldierone3553d ago

For future games, it'd be amazing. The question would then be, how much of a hit would Activision take? Offer a 30 dollar service for all CODs, and get the new one too? Or will it be 30 dollars for all CODs, with the ability to buy the new one at a discount?

For me to like it, it'd have to be "free" new COD with a discount on DLC. If it's just access to older ones, it isn't really that great. I have the ones I want and don't go back and play any of them.

iamnsuperman3553d ago (Edited 3553d ago )

The hit would be immensely huge. The problem with subscription services for new games is the consumer can just pay for 2 or 3 months worth of content (until they get bored). So even if it was £10 a month Activision could end up loosing half of the profits it makes right now. To offset that they realistically need to go for £20 which is just insane

Activision's main game is COD.

Soldierone3552d ago

IF they were to do something like this, it'd have to be a full year thing. Similar to season passes. Pay 30 dollars, get that years content or whatever.

Otherwise yeah, just pay when COD releases, then stop when you get tired.

Call of Duty Players Disappointed by $80 B.E.A.S.T. Glove Bundle Deal

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

melons12d ago

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.

Gridknac12d ago

They call that a crack head! Thats what this is really about, its an addiction. People who dont smoke cigarettes look and laugh at the addicts that spend $8-$10 a pack, but they cant help themselves, they are addicted. That same analogy applies perfectly to the whole MT industry. Only an addict that was not thinking clearly would spend this kind of money on something so frivolous. A round of multiplayer provides the same high a person gets from scratching a lotto ticket, or putting money on a sports bet. MT in general need to really be regulated because you have a generation of kids becoming adults who grew up only knowing the MT era of gaming. Its normal to them and they will in turn teach their kids the same by just being a gaming parent and getting their kids involved with them in gaming. Thats why no matter how ridiculous the headlines keep getting out of the MT industry, it never seems to fade or go away.

X-2310d ago

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.
