Would a Subscription Based Call of Duty Benefit the Series?

Call of Duty may be getting stale, but Josh Miller looks to see if a subscription approach could possibly solve the problem.

TomShoe3805d ago (Edited 3805d ago )

Meh, just make the game every 2-3 years and give exclusive rights to Treyarch.

I hate IW's style, you die way to quickly. That, and the maps are huge and bland and boring. 3arc's maps have a lot more color and things are there for a reason. With IW, things are just there to be there.

''you die way to quickly''

Oh my you don't even know how much I agree on that. I remember on MW3 multiplayer basically 1 shot and your're dead or when you're clearly shooting somebody but your're ending up being killed and on the killcam it's not even showing you shooting. I got so angry to the point that the game disc ended up in half :). Generally I like Treyarch's COD way more. Blops 1 still being best for me.

NegativeCreepWA3805d ago

Play Battlefield, problem solved.

mp12893805d ago

battlefield has its own problems. bought the game at launch and i still have not been able to join a match with more than 20 players on the ps4. im not alone and the game is crashing accross all platforms.

BX813805d ago

Really i play on the 360 and haven't had any issues lately

willie323805d ago

Battlefield 4 has major problems and horrible design flaws too! They don't even have a party system in BF4. As much as I criticize COD, they do their online better than any other game company. It is a simple design that gets your buddies on the same team within seconds.

BF4 requires one person to join a server. Second, all of your friends must join the same server. Third, you must switch sides if half end up on the other team. Fourth, those that make it on a team, you must deal with trying to join a squad together. I can't believe how they ditched the pregame party system; horrible!

mp12893805d ago (Edited 3805d ago )

360 only supports 24 players. all the ps4 matches that ive joined successfully are 20 player matches in small maps. they are fun but i bought the game for 64 player matches. if the xbox one has the same problems, dont expect much success from battlefield either. just btw i get 30mbps through the ps4 ethernet port where killzone and ghosts run well. it seems next gen for battlefield isnt that much better than current gen for now...im waiting for a fix.

Give Activision the chance of a subscription based CoD would end in being Pay 2 Play.They already proved this by adding the Peace Maker in DLC which ended up being the most solid gun on Blops2.

They would sell the best weapons for $100 day 1 and let the rest suffer for not being stupid enough to pay it.

CoD is already kind of subscription based with having to hand over money every 3 months for add-ons.Buying the game then actually having to pay monthly would put me off unless there was at least 3 new maps a month and gameplay changes.

neocores3805d ago

0.0 if it were to i will have to find a new FPS to enjoy

Themba763805d ago

i said this years ago. they make so many cod's that they might as well make it subscription based like wow and just release updates.

CPTN MITCHELL3805d ago (Edited 3805d ago )

we traded ghost for bf4 today ghost is a really bad game

Soldierone3805d ago

Good luck attempting to play BF4 lmao

XboxFun3805d ago

A hiatus of CoD would be a benefit to the series.

U.S. Army Planned to Pay Streamers Millions to Reach Gen-Z Through Call of Duty

Internal Army documents obtained by Motherboard provide insight on how the Army wanted to reach Gen-Z, women, and Black and Hispanic people through Twitch, Paramount+, and the WWE.

isarai503d ago (Edited 503d ago )

It's well known the US Army has been using gaming as a gateway for recruiting for a LOOONG time. Hell even in high school recruiters would ask whoever wasnt interested for their gamertag so they can play Cod together. Not to mention they've sponsored several fps tournaments. Not a conspiracy when it's out in the open. Plus Arma exists so...

Inverno503d ago

Instead of trying to get them to join then military through bs trends why not instead tell em of the benefits that joining the military bring? Least in times of peace and without the threat of war, having your studies paid in full sounds better than "hey you can do what you do in COD by joining the army, isn't that cool?"

kneon503d ago (Edited 503d ago )

The USA has been involved in wars/conflicts for 90+% of its existence so you're unlikely to be in the US Military during peacetime

Old_Scout503d ago

I was a recruiter. You can tell a kid the benefits all day long. Ultimately it's a calling and you just call the right person and do the paperwork.

thorstein503d ago

"I was a recruiter. You can LIE TO a kid about the benefits all day long."

FTFY

thorstein503d ago

I think it is absurd that the US military has millions if not billions of dollars in their advertising budget. It is absurd that they have an advertising budget.

TiredGamer503d ago

Would you prefer forced conscription like in Russia?

gold_drake503d ago (Edited 503d ago )

i had that in austria
wasnt all too bad. 6 months of listening to idiots screaming nonsense. you dont actually participate in any war, but i guess ametica is a different kind of hell when it comes to that. who knows what they'd put ppl through lol

ended up enlisting actually haha. sniper training was like 7 weeks. not a bad life

thorstein503d ago

The alternate to spending millions of dollars on advertising is forced conscription?

Wow, you learn something every day.

Gee, how would anyone in the whole world learn about the US military if it weren't for advertising.

Vengeance1138503d ago

Can't wait to die and respawn in real life! Oh wait...

jznrpg503d ago

We all wish … I’d love to see my baby bro and grandfather again .

TheColbertinator503d ago

@jznrpg

Sorry about your losses, friend.

On topic :

I thought the Army was always using FPS games. This is not new.

HyperMoused503d ago

A bit on the nose isnt it...like killin in the game...join up and kill in real life

My fav and last COD I played and never anymore after that is COD 4 map: Killhouse.

Rebel_Scum1077d ago

None from COD3? At least one of Eder Dam, Merville, Poisson & Rouen should be in there.

Gardenia1077d ago

The best maps were made in COD4, BO1 and BO2. The golden era of COD I would say.

Abear211077d ago (Edited 1077d ago )

Wow can’t argue with that top 5. Raid is my personal fav. Everything BLOPS2 and before were pretty solid. Now the maps have been remade so many times I don’t remember what’s what. Rust, really? This is why I don’t play COD anymore, Nuketown I can take, but Rust is pure COD respawn get shot in the back garbage

Activision Expects Lower Sales From Call of Duty 2021 Compared to Last Year

Activision has confirmed that it's not expecting Call of Duty 2021 to beat Black Ops Cold War's sales numbers.

Amplitude1167d ago (Edited 1167d ago )

Cold War was honestly a mistake lol it took a massive amount of people away from MW and it seems the vast majority of us didn't like any of the changes in CW, and the cherry on top is that it ruined the balancing in Warzone.

Used to play MW all the time but then I bought Cold War day one and beat the campaign in one sitting. Played quite a bit online and idk I couldn't get into it. Feels like I should prolly be progressing in CW instead of MW and the result of that mentality is that I just dropped both lol and don't even buy the season passes anymore. I'm sure a lot of people are in the same boat. The idea of ANOTHER one coming out is really pushing it. Shoulda just had MW be updated with dlc for a few years

Kabaneri1167d ago

Treyarch has been trash since Black Ops 4.

Amplitude1167d ago (Edited 1167d ago )

I might be wrong but I'm pretty confident the only thing theyve made since Black Ops 4 is Cold War. ...so I mean I guess you're not wrong lol

414gamer1167d ago

Cold War also got pushed out a year early because Sledgehammers game got canned

Unknown_Gamer57941167d ago

Am I supposed to feel bad for Activision? "Lower than expected" sales for a CoD game is still a pipe dream for a lot of other games.
