Cowan & Company’s analyst, Doug Creutz has concluded that Activision is expecting to sell around 20% less Call of Duty: Black Ops units that that of Modern Warfare 2, according to a guidance report that accompanies their financials which they published last week.
A variety of new updates are available this month across the gaming platforms. Coming today, Retro Classics games are available to play for Xbox Game Pass members. Players who stream on the Xbox app on PC now have an additional streaming option with GeForce Now. Game Bar introduces quick settings, visual updates for Widgets in Compact Mode, and coming soon, Microsoft Edge Game Assist, an in-game browser that brings an immersive game-centric experience to Edge. And Xbox gift cards can now be redeemed for any amount via Xbox Rewards.
While i appreciate the gesture.... all of these retro classics have been made available everywhere else. I am hoping to see some other Activision properties make their way out of the shackles of the 5th, 6th and 7th gen. Licensing be damned... bring back the Transformers Cybertron games.
Love the Cybertron games! TF games have been shit lately. Would love to see that era revisited. I even did the multiplayer!
Metaphor on Gamepass just announced! O.o
Seriously, this is the best generation of Xbox ever!!!
We can´t catch a freaking break from awesome games arriving all the time!!!
It’s a HELL of a game. If you like JRPGs in the family of Persona, you will be in heaven… that is until you hear the various battle music…. then you’ll be somewhere BEYOND heaven!
According to a developer working on the title, Activision is working on a narrative-based open-world game based on a new engine through its new studio.
It was recently revealed in an exclusive episode of the 'Grit' podcast that EA once passed up acquiring Blizzard, Activision, and Call of Duty.
Only a big company that has interest in gaming like Microsoft or Tencent could have acquired Activision. Extremely low interest rates at that time certainly helped.
Not exactly sure that a merger with EA would’ve benefited any of their franchises or gamers. I imagine it would’ve been like the activision blizzard one were each publisher retains their own identity. So Activison-Blizzard-EA. But who knows.
If it was owned by EA, COD could’ve disappeared a looong time ago. They have no clue how to manage franchises.
It's a shame EA didn't buy them then, COD should die, it's past its prime and has been since black ops 2, I started playing it when cod 4 mw first came out and it has been downhill since.
the only numbers I'm interested in are mw2 vs. blackops pc version.
There's not as much backlash against Treyarch from the pc community so this is a title pc gamers will probably buy.
Especially considering you can pre-order it on d2d 25% off with the coupon code bigsavings.
I personally think it will surpass MW2 on all platforms, but I agree - its pc units should be much better.
I liked it more than MW1 and MW2. So I'm expecting this game to be good as well.
But as for the online....I don't think I will be playing much. I have no patiance for cheaters and low lifes.
I think I will play this a lot more because of the combat training. So when\if this game get plagued with cheaters in multiplayer I will still have use of the game.
Swore off CoD after MW2 become the abomination that it currently is. I had no intentions of getting BO until about a month ago, now I can't wait for it.
I give Treyarch huge props for trying to ensure the game is BALANCED, which IMO will lead to more people playing it longer.
I predict BO will have legs, and will end up selling more than MW2 in the long run, but not initially.
