glenn19792169d ago (Edited 2169d ago )

Fisrt and MEEEHHHH

InTheLab2169d ago

Looks a lot like Infinite Warfare 2 and it's insane ttk and future bs

morganfell2169d ago

Meh doesn't begin to describe the disappointment.

Ridiculous equipment, forgettable rap tune, and a mohawk. Never saw that coming...

Snake was right...War. War never changes.

At some point this retreading will no longer function for them. If the rumor of no SP campaign bears out then it is a complete pass for many people.

Palitera2169d ago

Disgusting. I miss the time when the player needed a brain to play COD.

BiggerBoss2169d ago

Definitely gonna pass on this. No story mode means no buy. I'm not gonna pay full price for half a game.

No Way2169d ago

Bigger boss; while I agree with you.. you say it's a half a game; does that mean single player only is only half a game??

Question before Meh stamp - does it actually have boost jumping? I don't recall seeing any double jump/jet pack jumps in the video? (I saw a dude move forward quickly onto a car). Maybe it does and I'm blind

vallencer2169d ago

Neither. It does have sliding but no boost jump/jet pack or wall running.

Razmiran2169d ago

No, they said it in the reveal

KickSpinFilter2169d ago (Edited 2169d ago )

I think there was at the start over a tank or something. I'm already out with the speed boost quick jump and no SP. I'll stick with WWII that been fun as hell. But why oh why cant we just get a friggin new Modern Warfare that is what everyone wants!

senorfartcushion2169d ago

No, and I've noticed the only differences are that this game has things removed instead of added.

Removed boosting, removed auto-health regen, removed.....

Palitera2169d ago (Edited 2169d ago )

It has grappling hook, so...

Garbage confirmed.

senorfartcushion2169d ago

Not even meh. I'm angry.

Removing the story mode, Reusing blops 3 assets and tacking on a derivative mode.

F Activision.

getbacktogaming2169d ago

I'm disappointed and will definitely be skipping this game but after the disappointing campaign in BO3... I was kind of expecting this kind of crap

BiggerBoss2169d ago (Edited 2169d ago )

Activision has become just as bad as EA. They expect us to pay full price for half a game. I was done with Activision as soon as I got screwed with the first Destiny. $120 to get the full game. F*** that.

PapaBop2169d ago

Lol "Meh" pretty much summed up my reaction. Just looks like the same old COD to me, a few new latest trends shoehorned in for good measure which just leads to it looking like a clusterf**k of things that don't really quite gel into the gameplay experience. Having said that though, if I was a teenager tanked up on Red Bull, I'd be pretty hyped for it.

BiggerBoss2169d ago

I remember being in high school and being so pumped for the release of Modern Warfare 2. Oh how this franchise has fallen...

First thought: "Well that shield sure can take a punch."

Edit: Maps look visually appealing (from what's shown).

smolinsk2169d ago

Fu.. no, near future bullshit... looks boring as hell

Gardenia2169d ago

I thought they'd learn from their past mistakes. But I guess not

BiggerBoss2169d ago

COD has gone in the exact OPPOSITE direction that I want it to go. It'll be a long time before I spend by money on this franchise again.

IamTylerDurden12169d ago

It really isn't that futuristic though. They said it was boots on the ground no crazy jetpack or wall running. It seems more toned down and the shield, underwater shooting, and crazy criss cross grenade all looked cool.

Palitera2169d ago (Edited 2169d ago )

They have put a grappling hook, so...

Same garbage confirmed. Same old stuff. But not in a "gool'ol'stuff&am p;qu ot; style... more in a "keeping the bad CODs streak full on" sense.

They should beg for the brilliant minds at Respawn to return. COD got worse and worse after they left.

Gotta keep ruining it. ;)

Newmanator2169d ago

I think there was some sarcasm there, if so very well done

DafunkyRebel2169d ago

Nope looks fun like black ops 2

Thatguy-3102169d ago

I have a problem with them charging a full 60$ more so than it having no campaign. Now it seems like they filled it up with so much multiplayer content to "justify" the absence of it which I'm not buying

Smitty20202169d ago

I agree with you, I bet the mp will have a few maps just like any other n rest is dlcs

IamTylerDurden12169d ago (Edited 2169d ago )

Why are people agreeing? You are wrong. If anything Black Ops 4 has more content than ever. $60 gives you mp, Zombies, Battle Royale aka Blackout, and sp missions rather than a campaign. There are 4 major modes instead of the usual 3. Even if you don't like the changes at least be informed, Black Ops 4 will have plenty of content. We can bicker about changing the campaign into a mission structure but they added Battle Royale. This isn't Sea of Thieves, the game is going to have content.

Dirtnapstor2169d ago (Edited 2169d ago )

Looked like it had plenty of content. And they stated the SP will be supported with alternate modes. Some of the "new" game play formula reminded me of R6S. Blackout could be really good.

BiggerBoss2169d ago (Edited 2169d ago )

@tylerdurden

Nope. No story mode=no buy.

Regardless of how much multiplayer content there is, Activision is royally screwing the fans that enjoy the single-player.

Smitty20202169d ago

I love sp too cod, It will only have mp and still charge the same amount

IamTylerDurden12169d ago (Edited 2169d ago )

Good lord you are wrong. The game does not "only have mp", far from it. It has 4 major modes and the sp wasn't entirely removed, it was changed into a mission based mode rather than one large narrative.

Black Ops 4 includes 4 modes:

Multiplayer
Zombies
Battle Royale aka Blackout
Singleplayer missions

Please don't spread misinformation just because you are uninformed. I personally would prefer that they kept a Singleplayer campaign, but they more than compensated as far as amount of content. Surely Battle Royale and Singleplayer missions will equate to more content than a 5 hour campaign.

BiggerBoss2169d ago

@tyler

Again, having more Multiplayer content doesn't excuse screwing over the players that enjoy the Story Mode. This is just a cop-out by Activision, they save a lot of money by not having to develop a single player campaign.

ocelot072169d ago

Looks really boring to be honest.

Markusb332169d ago

Agreed and idiots will buy it in their millions

Rude-ro2169d ago

People are idiots because they might like something you don’t? Holy narcissism

2169d ago
remixx1162169d ago

@pubg

Is that true or did you just make that up?

IamTylerDurden12169d ago (Edited 2169d ago )

And Black Ops 4 will also include Blackout, a robust Battle Royale mode. Are people idiots if they buy it for Battle Royale? Were people idiots for buying Pubg or playing Fortnite? It will also feature Zombies. Were people idiots for buying Killing Floor considering it started as a CoD Zombies mod?

BiggerBoss2169d ago

@rude-ro

I personally don't think people are idiots for buying the game. People are free to spend their money on whatever they want.

However, if you were a COD gamer of old, I don't see how you're not disgusted by how the franchise has turned out in recent years. Activision is milking their loyal fan base for their hard-earned dollars, and it is NOT okay.

No Way2169d ago

Tyler, are you a dev? Defending awfully hard!

jmc88882168d ago (Edited 2168d ago )

@BiggerBoss

I've been gaming CoD since the original Call of Duty. I've skipped a couple, like CoD3, 4, and Infinite Warfare. Been gaming in general since about 1980 with Apple II, Atari, and Arcades.

3 and 4 because I hated 2. Advanced Warfare because I hated the jet pack/wall running stuff.

But the return to WW2 was nice except for the removal of controller+mouse setup AFTER launch, but there are three teams making this game, and I didn't expect an old one every time.

Nor do I necessarily think ALL THREE teams will stop making single player. Treyarch has decided to. Maybe the others will follow that, maybe not.

So at one point I WAS disgusted, but the WW2 setting was a nice change and getting rid of the jetpacks/wall running is another one.

As for single player being removed, I'm not torn up about it. I can see why others are, but over the years it has for me become a primarily multiplayer game. There's more single player games now then ever. Dozens of games get released every day. I have hundreds of games in my backlog. I've got like 800 games in my steam wish list. Add some more on my PS4 list, etc.

During the past year I've become a fan of fortnite. I can see the value of Battle Royale games. Some people play it like CoD, which is weird. That's not how you do it. But obviously you can do it however you want. But if you want to really know how Battle Royale is different, you have to try to play it different.

Many times I'm still in the air gliding down and my WHOLE squad is dead because they decided to play it like it's CoD and land in Tilted towers.

I play the game with more cunning. I'm not looking to engage in firefights, but will if I have the advantage. I'm looking to gather resources, weapons, and stay alive. It's actually quite easy to last into the top 10 or 6 or even 3. None of this is possible in the traditional Call of Duty game or maps. Battlefield games aren't like this either, but they do have a good map size.

Battle Royale is just a different sort of shooter game. It's a fun addition to the other shooters. A different niche.

It is all the rage, and has 'something' to it. It's not for everyone, but it has something for many. I also see that it's very youth oriented. So as a late X-er or early Y depending on how you draw the lines, born in '78, this isn't my first rodeo when it comes to my generation not being the 'focus'. Battle Royale is a game genre that excites Z. You can tell by all the 10 year olds that play games like Fortnite.

It wouldn't surprise me to see why they did this was to help keep Call of Duty relevant. In order to do that you have to grasp the passion of the younger crowd. Also good for casuals and people that want to drop in/out easily.

So now CoD is catering to X, Y, and Z generations. With that, they decided to get rid of single player and have offline missions in its stead and add Battle Royale. To me, this is actually added value.

It clearly isn't for some given the mass hysteria we're seeing on N4G and likely elsewhere. But this battle royale should resonate with the younger crowd. Help get them into Call of Duty. I definitely know many people won't buy it, but battle royale will definitely get a lot of people to buy it. This could overall decrease sales, keep it about the same, or massively increase them. We'll see.

So to me, being disgusted recent years is more like Ghosts/Advanced/Infinite. They've made some strides since. Battle Royale is a good gamble of expanding the reach of Call of Duty. It's adds value for me.

Cancelled Call of Duty Game "NX1" Gameplay Footage, Black Ops 4 "War" Mode" Surface

A cancelled Call of Duty game titled "NX1" had footage surface online, along with a Black Ops 4 unreleased mode called "War."

RaidenBlack87d ago

looks like the OG Infinite Warfare

Profchaos87d ago

Yeah it does look good wonder why it was canned

EvertonFC86d ago

Probably a proper game with no MT and they didn't see any profits 😂🤣

Name Last Name86d ago

That Neversoft logo took me back to Tony Hawk days. Sad to see this cancellation led to the studio closure.

Juancho5186d ago

It’s always sad to see great concepts destroyed so deep into development. They obviously had a lot of ideas and aren’t happy about it. Now withe layoffs even more videos like this will surface soon.

Xbox Fans Call Out 'Activision's Greed' Over Call Of Duty Digital Prices

This week's Deals with Gold selection on Xbox has rubbed certain Xbox fans the wrong way, as several Call of Duty titles are still ludicrously priced - despite being discounted by up to 67% off over the next few days.

purexbox.com
VersusDMC964d ago

How is 20 dollars for X360 call of duty games "ludicrously" overpriced?

And with Activision's lawer bills skyrocketing at the moment you are not going to be seeing deep discounts for a bit.

Chevalier964d ago

Pretty sure that's the sale off that's 60% off. After the sale ends that 360 game is still listed at $49.99, right not its $19.99 because the 60% off.

VersusDMC964d ago

I guess they can wait for the next sale then.

SullysCigar964d ago

It's nice to see the Xbox community stand up for themselves though. That's been needed for a long time.

InUrFoxHole963d ago

For a long time? Its the reason xbox is killing it this gen.

senorfartcushion964d ago

Lawsuits don’t cost billions, they’re ALWAYS going to be fine for money.

They could stack their bills on the ground and fill half the continent of Africa at this point.

RaiderNation963d ago

Because Xbox fans are so used to playing games on the Xbox EBT subscription service, the idea of paying anything for a game seems ludicrous to them.

MadLad963d ago (Edited 963d ago )

You pay for the service.

Do you have Amazon Video?
Hulu?
Netflix?

It's a subscription service. Not a charity. You're literally going at people over the idea of using a pro consumer service, and that's the real joke here.

thorstein963d ago

When records were sold, they were eventually replaced by tapes, which cost less to manufacture, but more to buy. Then CDs came along and were cheaper to manufacture, but cost more at retail. Digital, of course, is the cheapest yet, but billion dollar corporations want to charge the same.

And no, that money is not going to the person sitting in the chair actually making the game.

It is pure and utter greed from people who don't need any more money.

InUrFoxHole963d ago

Lol calm down Bobby. You crapped on thus franchise.

"Many have also noted how the multiplayer in several of these titles is either dead or filled with hackers, meaning players are paying a hefty sum for a short campaign and potentially some zombie modes."

With these clear truths the decades older COD games should be permanently 19.99 regular price and sale prices 7.99 minimum

autobotdan964d ago

Typo sale prices 2.99 minimum and 9.99 maximum. Older COD tiles seven years old or older should never be over 20 dollars regular price

senorfartcushion964d ago

I have paid less than 3 dollars for some AAA PS4 games, old 360 CoD games should not be $20

FanboysKiller964d ago

Any fps game runs by the quirk engine follows this logic
Eat
Sleep
Die instantly
Repeat
As if the main purpose of the game more of "repeat" than the actual gameplay experience , any noob in this game will tell you his mind stucked in repeating the sequence number of deaths than the gameplay itself , what a complete pile of #.

EvertonFC963d ago

It's why I don't play cod anymore, my 45yr old hands can't compete with these kids 😂 🤣
1 kill to every 10 deaths is not fun

John_McClane963d ago

Don't let that stop you if you enjoy the game, it's actually pretty good for hand/eye coordination.

lipton101963d ago

Try Escape from Tarkov. It forces you to slow down and think. I’m not a fan of the ADD speed of CoD

Father__Merrin964d ago

All the back compat titles are cheap listing when you scroll through them u till you come to black ops it's a complete rip off

Rhythmattic964d ago (Edited 964d ago )

Well... Don't buy it..... Is it really that hard to comprehend?
Everything else you choose to purchase with your hard earned cash , so should games be held to the same reasoning....
Just don't give em the cash....

Entitlement that's bizarre, from the publisher and from the consumer.... Thats pretty fkd up if you think about it...

GhostofHorizon963d ago

It's hilarious that some people don't see this as an option.

MadLad963d ago

Bananas now cost $30 a pound. There's no good reason for it, but if you want bananas, there you go.

You don't have to buy them.

It's about their constant greed when handling the franchise. Nobody has to buy anything, but when a company doesn't follow corporate norms when selling their product; overpricing their old wares just because they can, the consumer is allowed to call that out.

GhostofHorizon963d ago

Consumer can call them out, but I think they are going about it the wrong way.

The reason they get away with everything they do is simply because they can. They can charge $20 for a skin pack because people will gladly buy it. There is plenty of competition for FPS games, it's not like it's a niche market.

I know it's easier to blame and demand better from Activision than people that keep buying these overpriced items. If they weren't being bought, Activision would lower the price though. People like to pretend to take the high road but wouldn't you rather sell the banana for $30 than $3 if people are willing to buy it?

franwex963d ago

@therealtedcruz

I think there’s a virus destroying the banana and may even go extinct. So maybe that’s why.

I think it’s happen before too.

MadLad963d ago

A small subset buys those skins and whatnot. Most players don't. The "whale" mindset is pretty accurate across the board, where there's a small handful who buy a lot, and most who don't buy any. Either way, that means they're imposed on the majority either way.

That's different from overpricing your game though. Activision easily makes their money off every release, then milks it until the next release, then throws it away. They never put significant sales on even a release from several cycles ago. Whether it sells or not.

And I mean, yeah; if I were a business, I'd probably want to make as much money as possible.
But I'm not a business; I'm a consumer, thus I find many businesses to be complete assholes.

Rhythmattic957d ago

And people are still blaming the high prices but suggest they're still wiling to buy it... Not too smart are you peoples....

Its a non regulated pricing structure, sure , many play by the status-quo , but to actually complain by complaining, instead of standing your ground and not buying it, by buying it , you are the reason its happening....

Idiots, Idiots everywhere.... What? So those that are complaining don't want to pay the money, but cant do without it?

FFS. Entitlement level 5000...

Sitdown963d ago

The article and title isn't saying that people are buying it, its simply saying that they are calling them out for greed. I guess you had a problem with people calling out Microsoft for trying to increase the price of Live, and don't understand how voicing concern led to them backing away from the decision.

Teflon02963d ago

People need to put that energy into Nintendo's Pricing over Activisions tbh. They're focused on the wrong things

Rhythmattic957d ago (Edited 957d ago )

Greed? Ok... Dont buy it and prove that by being greedy , they got it wrong... Not that hard to understand is it?
To Add... I haven't bought Cod since MW2.... Because of these exact practices.... Fact.
