Activision approach to Call of Duty is 'sad and weird' - Blacklight dev

"Sad" and "really weird" are the words Blacklight: Retribution lead designer Jared Gerritzen has used to describe Activision's approach with new online subscription service Call of Duty: Elite......

Hit the nail on the head. Same shit different year.

You haven't got the point of the article. I suggest you go re-read. He at no point says it's shit.

He's saying that the games lack variation from year to year. That's different from them being bad games.
"They're amazing games"
There you go. Any excuse for you haters to chastise CoD.

[Miiikeyyy]

He never said it was shit

[Pintheshadows]

I think you missed Crimsons point Kee. He didn't actually say they were shit.

@myk1992. Should of refreshed first before commenting really.

[CrimsonEngage]

No, you guys missed the point. At no time did i say they were shitty games. I was pointing out the fact the the games are the same every year. Polish a turd, it's still a turd.

"They're amazing games," he added, "but looking across the last four games, was there anything really new? That's the sad part. Think about if they tried to spend that money that they're trying to milk from the fans. It's sad. It's really weird. But there's always going to be that guy; there's always going to be the jerk."

He right but I still enjoyed MW2(I just didn't buy any DLC......too much money)

[Merrill]

It will eventually catch up to them. Ever series that has their huge success, moment in the Sun, falls from grace/crashes and burns when they milk customers without innovation.

I hate the fact that people seem to be trapped in this COD cycle and they don't even realise it.
Most COD fans are so obsessed with this crap franchise that they don't even realise the other great games coming out that month. Uncharted 3, Skyrim, Assassins Creed revealtions.

Then you get people who say things along the lines of "Oh COD is the best FPS ever, it's the first game that changed the way we think about FPS"

Clearly you havent heard of or played on Counterstrike.

[dan_chan89]

True that.
I'll bet the CoD kiddies have never heard of CS.

[WhiteLightning]

Seriously the amount of times I mention Counterstrike to these obsessed COD freaks in school and it's always the same for each person

"What the hell is Counter Strike"

"You know the game made by Valve, makers of Half life"

"What's Half life"

<Sigh>

[Pintheshadows]

Counterstrike 1.6 is better than all the COD games combined.

Adding to that i'd love to get some COD kids onto Q3 Arena and show them what it means to be owned.

With activision at the helm, its already fizzled out like Tony hawk and guitar hero.
They have an awesome track record....

[Gamer_Z]

I hope all you don't buy MW3 for the sake of it actully improving if not there will be no hope for this game and all of you COD fanboys will have yourselfs to blame for it's down fall. I won't be buying MW3, I'm speaking with my wallet this year. If you really like this franchise and want to see it get better you wont buy MW3 or I guarantee you it will go the way of guitar hero.

[kesvalk]

sorry man, but it will not get better, if they don't get the desired sales, they will just shutdown the franchise, just like they did with guitar hero...

there is no way to save cod, not anymore...
