Zombies could be better than the campign this year. Customisation's gonna keep people playing this for years.

Muffins12234647d ago

sad that you got disagree's...its true what you said.Lets just say, there's a reason why cod is replaced by another cod every year...

HammadTheBeast4647d ago

It's true though lol. I can unlock everything in CoD within a couple weeks. Customization lol.

SJPFTW4647d ago

COD4 is a timeless multiplayer classic. A lot of people still play it on all consoles especially on PC. I play on PC but i would still play it on my PS3 if it wasn't for the hacked lobbies.

Sadly every COD game after COD4 did not live up to the same sort of quality however

TruthbeTold4647d ago

The Zombie element is ALWAYS better than the main campaign as far as I'm concerned.

AJBACK2FRAG4647d ago (Edited 4647d ago )

I'm so excited for this game! On the WiiU! 1080p baby! Recognize! Guns!

It's your Call of Duty come on
a no scope party Phenom
your friends are all logged on
just please don't tell my stepmom Black Ops!

Christopher4646d ago

The question is if the WiiU will have as large of an audience as 360 or PS3 when it comes to these type of games. Definitely a good thing to see it go that route, but make sure the people are heading there first.

andibandit4647d ago

Zombies in COD will always suck as long as a headshot dosn't even stagger a zombie.

Christopher4646d ago

What else are they supposed to say, honestly?

"Black Ops 2, same value you found in all our other games!"

My problem with the CoD games is that that value is all in the multiplayer end and that's it. And, for the most part, it's the same value as last year with a few added elements. Just like next year's will be the same as this years with a few added elements.

"best value of any game anywhere" Thats a load of horse-crap !

Siren304647d ago (Edited 4647d ago )

Multiplayer has a ton of game modes and maps and customization.
Usually a 6 to 8 hour single player campaign.
Co-op zombies.
Lots of support after its released all through the year.
Theatre mode that lets you watch anybodys game in hd.
Combat training.
I see alot of value there

rpd1234647d ago

So essentially everything that Halo Reach and a metric sh*t ton of other games have? They act like they're special because they're giving you what should be standard these days. So yes I agree with dazzrazz, that's a load of horse crap.

Christopher4646d ago

Sorry, Siren30, but 6-8 hour single player campaign? Yeah, no. Even this noob at FPSes finishes them in 4-5 hours, max on normal mode.

Now, having said that, it's great that you see a lot of value. For me, it's just not for me. The multiplayer is lackluster and not fun. But, it's great that a game that you have enjoyed a lot is getting more releases. I just wished people didn't try to copy it so much because of how well it does. It limits the options for those of us that are looking for something different.

HammadTheBeast4647d ago

Real Value is Star hawk. Full campaign, about 6-8 hours. Full co-op horde style mode on 6 different maps + dlc maps for 2.50 each. Next multi player. 15 base maps, plus 4 more as free dlc. Then there's paid dlc, all of which can be bought for $15 , which includes skins, co op maps, vehicles, structures. Full clan system, with built in clan match Calender, player made servers free, tons of customization ( more than 500) and the replay ability of multi player is a lot.

That is value. $20 for Multiplayer + Co-op only.
Single Player free for PS+.
Full version only $30.

ZombieKiller4646d ago

Actually if you like COD, which alot of people still do, then this game has alot of value.

Fucking fanboys an haters. Or actually we'll put you under 1 class and call you all TROLLS. Fuck off.

GearSkiN4647d ago

That made me laugh so hard!

AdjacentStalker4644d ago

Oh Call of Duty you make me laugh. There's more value in my right hand then that whole series.

CrimsonessCross4647d ago

Right on.

Multi-player has got me interested with the maps, the customization and the score-streaks. Zombies has me slightly interested and the campaign I am "meh" about but will be something to fall back onto so I don't get burned out from the other two.

While i appreciate the gesture.... all of these retro classics have been made available everywhere else. I am hoping to see some other Activision properties make their way out of the shackles of the 5th, 6th and 7th gen. Licensing be damned... bring back the Transformers Cybertron games.

P_Bomb34d ago

Love the Cybertron games! TF games have been shit lately. Would love to see that era revisited. I even did the multiplayer!

MrBaskerville33d ago

Is the retro classics for all consoles?

Obscure_Observer34d ago

Metaphor on Gamepass just announced! O.o

Seriously, this is the best generation of Xbox ever!!!

We can´t catch a freaking break from awesome games arriving all the time!!!

Deathdeliverer34d ago

It’s a HELL of a game. If you like JRPGs in the family of Persona, you will be in heaven… that is until you hear the various battle music…. then you’ll be somewhere BEYOND heaven!

babadivad33d ago

Just finished Clair Obscur. This should be fun.

Only a big company that has interest in gaming like Microsoft or Tencent could have acquired Activision. Extremely low interest rates at that time certainly helped.

Not exactly sure that a merger with EA would’ve benefited any of their franchises or gamers. I imagine it would’ve been like the activision blizzard one were each publisher retains their own identity. So Activison-Blizzard-EA. But who knows.

fsfsxii131d ago

If it was owned by EA, COD could’ve disappeared a looong time ago. They have no clue how to manage franchises.

Gamingsince1981118d ago

It's a shame EA didn't buy them then, COD should die, it's past its prime and has been since black ops 2, I started playing it when cod 4 mw first came out and it has been downhill since.

SoloGamer1130d ago

thank goodness we dodged that landmine 😒
