Yeah, and for some reason, you seem to win when there are better games ¬¬

ATi_Elite4655d ago

COD does what COD does best and that's be COD.

The series has no real competition and if you think Battlefield 3 is COD competition well son your seriously mistaken.

Battlefield 3 is in it's own league and actually getting to the point that it may start to compete with the Arma series...kinda.

But BF3 and COD are entirely two total different experiences.

COD = Hollywood script shooter
BF3 = Total team warfare

Ducky4655d ago (Edited 4655d ago )

BF3 is no where near the Arma series...

If the alpha is anything to go by, it pretty much is a bigger version of MoH.

EA/DICE are clearly aiming for CoD's market, so it seems they consider the experiences to be comparable.

JokesOnYou4655d ago (Edited 4655d ago )

Yeah, Ive said the same in past comments, Im no kid and I prefer COD. MW3 has earned its place at the top for its acessible, but varied gameplay, its easy to play but skill takes time, gamers like it....certainly arent going to stop just because the elite n4g says they know whats best for the rest of us gamers all over the world, hell why dont we just hand over my paycheck, let you guys buy whats best for us. Ok, a lil too dramatic, but thats sort of how many here sound.

lol, n4g is like an alternate reality, I visit several gaming stores in my local area weekly, talk to employees, fellow gamers, and friends, I wouldnt say they ALL, love COD series, but I swear its only n4g/BF3 diehards who Ive ever heard say it sucks seriously think its garbage, fact is most I know prefer it more than the competition, like me, most arent kids. I play the game quite, often, havent played BF in a long time, sold it but COD isnt easier, I did well in BF, just dont like it much, the reason I stick to COD is because its more fast pace, more action focused on shooting your enemy, strategy shooters have their place, I just feel both games are so similiar so I choose the one with the better gameplay *imo.

BattleAxe4655d ago (Edited 4655d ago )

This year is a bit different, because releasing in November along side MW3 is Uncharted 3, The Metal Gear Solid Collection, Skyrim, Assassin's Creed: Revelations, HALO: Combat Evoled Remake, Forza 4 and Saint's Row 3. And then of course theres Resistance 3 and Gears of War 3 in September, and BatMan: Arkam City, Rage and BF3 in October.

For me personally, I've already preordered Resistance 3 and I will be pre-ordering Uncharted 3 also. I'm more interested in Battlefield3 than MW3, but I haven't decided what I want to do regarding the whole Steam/Origin debacle. If MW3 dominates over all these games I just listed, then there is no hope for gaming, but fortunately I think MW3 is going to have a tougher time this year as opposed to the last 3 years..

trainsinrdr4655d ago

Ima pwn some n00bs wif my 360 no scope skilz soon.

Ezio20484655d ago

evry1 knows whch game wil sell most this year!!!
hope it turns gud in quality 2....:-((

Gazondaily4655d ago

This turf belongs to Battlefield and with Battlefield 3, DICE are not going to stop short of hammering the nail in the coffin as hard as possible.

guitarded774655d ago (Edited 4655d ago )

It's kind of a catch 22... I prefer Battlefield, but if all the CoD players come over to Battlefield, then the games will be full of 12 year olds calling me the N bomb and retards who think a capture the flag match is actually team deathmatch. I want DICE to do well in sales, but I don't want the migratory turds that come with it.

Inside_out4655d ago (Edited 4655d ago )

.
It's nice and refreshing to hear a dev tell it like it is. The COD path is littered with wannabe devs, games, delusional fanboys and in the case of EA, PUBS, that try and scam their way into the number one spot...COD, the peoples champ, always rises to the top.

@ Septictank...lol...the only coffin that will be nailed shut will be EA-Dices's parasite Battlefield game. You as well as other delusional fanboys missed the COD train, the one that knock all those silly " look ma, I snipe from the spawn " games right off the track. Millions and millions of gamers have spoken...I hope your still around in November when you will see how many kids trade in Battlefield 3 for the undeniable peoples champ, many years running...COD MW3.

btw...It's great to see guys like Jason and Vince capicola claim poor when Activision had agreed to pay them 18 MILLION each for their 2 years of participation in MW2...poor guys. 18 mil each wasn't enough tho, they wanted to go to EA and take the franchise with them. The rest of IW will share in a pool set up by the GREAT Activision for 84 million...that's 800,000 each employee plus salary for working 2 years. Damn, that Activision is a greedy bunch huh...O_o

death2smoochie4655d ago (Edited 4655d ago )

"I hope your still around in November when you will see how many kids trade in Battlefield 3"

You nailed it...."KIDS"

The irony is KIDS won't even buy BF3 as the game actually requires skill to play unlike COD games.
It's the reason you have 7 year old children playing COD and how Activision made the game to suit them.
You can keep your dated gameplay and game engine and Aim Assist.
Let the grown ups play BF3.

And Inside_Out...
Don't you get tired of trolling EVERY SINGLE BF3 or COD thread claiming COD is God? You went:

NatureOfLogic4655d ago

Funny thing is, I got sick of BFBC2, I got bored with winning all the time, so I started playing COD where every time I run around a corner I got shot in the face. COD is more for me, In black ops I like fighting my way out of spawn traps, I find it fun and challenging.

MysticStrummer4655d ago

Missed the CoD train? I dove off while it was moving just to get away. You and the kids have fun with your casual shooter, just don't pretend it's anything other than a casual friendly shooter, hence more sales.

Call of Duty Players Disappointed by $80 B.E.A.S.T. Glove Bundle Deal

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

melons15d ago

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.

Gridknac15d ago

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.

X-2314d ago

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.

Cheech And Chong Are Coming To Call Of Duty Because Everything Must Be Consumed

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.

Sciurus_vulgaris30d ago

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”.

OtterX29d ago (Edited 29d ago )

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.

Palitera29d ago

There are tons of MP shooters that make no profit, if you're looking for one of those

fsfsxii29d ago

You guys have been saying this shit since 2009. Fortunately, nobody’s bringing down cod anytime soon, if ever.

crazyCoconuts29d ago

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

OtterX29d ago

@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

Knightofelemia29d ago (Edited 29d ago )

Cheech just looks so wrong in the picture.

Profchaos29d ago

Why just why. cod up in smoke

anast29d ago

They charge too much for a game that is kitsch.

MW3 missed its easiest opportunity to give us some of the best Call of Duty maps ever made

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.
