MP1st - Eric Hirshberg, Chief Executive Officer of Publishing Unit, comments on the thought of bringing a micro-transaction-based Call of Duty title to Western audiences.
Activision is shutting down COD Online in China by end of August, citing declining revenue as the cause.
Pull away from China. They have way different values than what Most Americans have even though some have shifted quite a bit recently. We don't need to cater to more audiences nor Countries for that matter.CCP is terrible and so are Trumpers oh... and extreme left as well! Who knew!
Whenever you think of playing Call of Duty, there are certain things that are a must. A good map design is certainly a must. In the same way kill streaks and guns are also important.
This is where Sledgehammer failed IMO, their community support is great but the maps for AW and WW2 were not very memorable.
Call of Duty battle royale is going to be a thing, at least in China. Call of Duty Online will receive an update with the new mode.
I don't understand why they don't release Call of Duty Online here. It is free to play, I am assuming has microtransactions, and is multiplayer only. I think that would do well here!
yeah no thanks, no more COD there are better free-to-play FPS games
yep like the upcoming Planetside 2
Hahaha, F2P? Except you need to pay to play on most maps, use clans, modify weapons, change your characters look, add weapons, change classes, get perks, and anything else that would progress the game.
F2P is a joke thanks to the zynga model which I'm sure Activision would follow and expand upon with their CoD title.
Everything will b f2p at some point in the future and consoles will cost $99. The trick is that u will be paying a monthly subscription like ur smartphone. Games will be free, but u will pay out the nose in small transactions that u will not even notice, like mobile games. Cod won't b like that for a bit, but it will slip and convert. This model gets a console in everyone's house like cellphones did. The more consoles, the more money. And this is why Microsoft and Sony have tried so hard to create a complete entertainment device, so that u buy ur movies, games, and music from them. It's brilliant actually. But it will b a pain. They will most likely offer full retail prices alongside the f2p option.
If they decide to do this, it's better be something different from the console version. After all console is what get them to where they are today. unfortunately, knowing Activison they don't care.
