Players who purchase Elite will be able to utilize several perks that others in multiplayer mode cannot. I have a feeling this is going to cause a little controversy in the game, as there are already numerous people complaining about how this is going to yield unfair advantages to the Elite.
As if Call of Duty didn’t have enough whining haters already, I can just see this adding fuel to an ever-growing fire. My suggestion, work a few hours of overtime, and save up for Elite.
Following the Wii U and 3DS servers being taken offline, Call of Duty Black Ops 2 and Ghosts are officially dead.
Call of Duty players are jumping into Black Ops 2 for the final time before its Wii U servers go offline for good.
GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 leap up due to summer sales
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.
@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
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.
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.
Shooters is what Xbox people play most of the time and that’s about it by the numbers and sales of games.
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
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.
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.
@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
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.
Or buy Battlefield, where there's no perks and every one is on a level playing field. You know, where there's no such thing as one guy reloading in a half a millisecond, or someone having x2 the health of a normal player, or immune to C4, or runs like the Flash. Stop whining and try a different franchise is all I'm saying.
You gotta be a complete dumbass, or a new age young kid gamer to support COD, its literally gone to shit since MW2 release and the Infinity Ward dev team leaving.
"As of July 10, 2010, 38 of the 46 Infinity Ward employees who resigned from that studio following the firings of West and Zampella revealed through their LinkedIn and Facebook profiles that they had signed on with Respawn Entertainment."
Basically, no one is left who made the first amazing COD game (COD 4) the one that brought COD into everyones living room, it sucked millions of people in. Now they have only the steam that they (COD4 makers) had left to keep building upon. No new engine, hence why vivindi is trying to sell off parts of its company, it cant last forever. Respawn is the new company to support, they need our help. They are the owners of the COD experience, but now are making bigger and better things from what they learned while working for the shitty company activision.
Even their best studio fell apart because of how badly they were disliked, similar to how some cod fans are waking up in light of all this. They only care about the bottom line, MONEY. This is what you get with Activision, and why you need to avoid supporting them intill they truly earn your business. Right now marketing of COD is working too well for Activision, WAKE THE FUCK UP.
Or maybe read the forum post properly before making up a story and blowing it out of proportion. It says: "To clarify what elite is, it is a side-pro perk you can choose when leveling up the base perk. These elite perks ONLY work if paired with another BASE perk."
Ergo, if you have two perks they can compliment each other. NOTHING to do with the elite system.
Also, the very information you are basing this on has be called complete garbage by David Vonderhaar himself. https://twitter.com/DavidVo...
Black ops is the best!
"My suggestion, work a few hours of overtime, and save up for Elite." Um, no. How about I buy a game that puts me on a level playing field with everyone else out of the box.
