JD - As I was drafting my post about the Games Critics Awards, I noticed something. Battlefield 3 is destroying Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. It was nominated for more accolades by critics, and won out head-to-head in both categories they shared. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 seemed to be added to the pack almost obligatorily.
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
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.
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.
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.
The famous comedy duo is the latest example of pop culture becoming one big grey blob
Certain to have some sort of reference to their online store for CBD/THC chews, which is advertising heavily online the last month or two.
The randomness of the multiplayer characters is one of reason I quit playing COD after briefly returning in 2022. We got Space Marines, rappers, tree monsters etc. all in a series called “ Modern Warfare”.
I think if there was ever a time for a competitor to rise up and take away some of Call of Duty's thunder, the time would be now. A military shooter that takes itself seriously, not sold out to Fortnitism. Easier said than done, I know... but the time is ripe.
I can't stand this stuff either.
There are tons of MP shooters that make no profit, if you're looking for one of those
You guys have been saying this shit since 2009. Fortunately, nobody’s bringing down cod anytime soon, if ever.
I agree. I really didn't like how the silliness takes away the gritty origins. That and all the crazy effects... dunno. I'm still playing it but I'd love for someone to steal their cheese and cater to grittier players
@fsfsxii It's not so much wanting COD itself to die as it is wanting this silliness to die. Like CrazyCoconuts said, it takes from the grittiness. Many OG COD players want a straightup Military shooter experience, not silly costume time at Carnival.
is this what the kids want these days a pair of iconic stoners who were big in the 70s and have kind of held on I enjoyed their movies decades ago but I never recall the movie where cheech infiltrates a enemy base while chong snipes for support guess I must of missed that one
Man I'm getting to old for this
From Bootleg to Black Box, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 made a heartbreaking mistake by not remastering the bizarrely forgotten maps from its namesake.
Easy hits.

People were talking about the Battlefield tank demo because it was so boring...lol...THERE WAS NO CONSOLE FOOTAGE ON DISPLAY AT E3. Consoles will have the highest sales for these games and when the kids see how Battlefield looks on consoles they will happily trade it in for COD and sign up for COD Elite because that will be where ALL the cool gamers will be.
EA-Dice is launching near COD not because it is better but because they want to get some of the sales that COD generates. COD has massive sales because it is delivering what the gamers want. Battlefield will COPY COD as much as possible because their Battlefield gameplay is as old as health packs. Watch and see...Battlefield will get their sales for the first couple weeks and then it will die a horrible death as kids trade it in for COD...rightfully so btw.
The gaming media has been against COD since MW2 and the whole airport scene fiasco. They decided a game like Uncharted would make a better role model for everything that is nice in gaming with romance novel inspired Drake...it didn't work. MW2 destroyed the competition, especially Uncharted 2 that launched right beside them and the rest is history. Uncharted 3 is receiving much the same treatment this year again as is Battlefield 3...MW3 will dominate again this year. Look what happen to MOH???
im getting both + TWISTED METAL AND U3. MAYBE SKYRM.
funk too many games not enough time. i still have RDR and Dead Space 2 sealed.
