Yes, more like BF please.

bohangirl844340d ago

I agree. Though I only played BF3 once, I had a great time while I played it.

Shadonic4340d ago

apparently people disagree with you having a great time on a game other than COD.

I am not a huge CoD fan but it has been hard to deny its popularity and success. That being said, after seeing the sp demo, this is not CoD4, just a prettier MW3. With many pretty next gen games coming, this may b the last super successful CoD game. Many will buy this, though being on a new console may hurt a little, but many will puchase xbox one just for this etc. But, once ppl see what Battlefield looks like, Titanfall, Destiny, Killzone etc., they will realize that CoD needs more than a reskinning to stay on top.

Hate Call of Duty all you want, (yes i know it sucks), but just take a step back and look at what the series did. No other game or series of games was EVER this big. People hate it for what its become and i agree with them, but when you really think about it, Call of Duty did the unthinkable and we're witnessing what is probably to be the biggest game in all of video game history. Give them credit where credit is due.

Although the series is a dead, beaten horse and BF4 is going to kick @$$ this year!!

if GTA goes the same route it will do even better. cod didn't do anything magnificent they had one successful cow and they just keep milking that cow. come on Rockstar can make yearly game with GTA:SA mechanics when it hit 20M sold copy, plz don't tell me they can't do that. they can but over time people will get bored with it. like WOW talking about real long investment.

Shadonic4340d ago

that would lead to a lose in quality too you know that right ?

Shadonic4340d ago (Edited 4340d ago )

Halo was up there and it did that without whoring its difficulty to the point where its as easy as playing ball in a cup.

I agree they did the unthinkable but I place that more on developers fallowing the trail left behind by COD after Halo went dormant instead of doing there own thing.

Counter Strike did everything and then COD brought it to consoles. Call of Duty is Counter Strike for consoles but unfortunately many console only players think Call of Duty invented everything.

nades_all_night4340d ago

But CounterStrike (for the most part) was good. CoD, not so much.

Lwhit64340d ago

I'm not saying Call of Duty did everything. I'm saying nothing ever was, and nothing probably ever will be as popular.

_FantasmA_4340d ago

I'm not saying that you said COD did everything. I'm just saying you are giving it too much credit. Yes its popular, but so is Lil Wayne and Jersey Shore. You can't give too much credit because it's a Counter Strike imitator with perks and killstreaks. Blacks Ops 1 was good because it was somewhat balanced and some of the multiplayer game modes are decent but it owes its existence to Counter Strike.

HammadTheBeast4340d ago

Do you know what?

CoD INNOVATED with CoD 4. It improved with MW2. Then it went to shit by pulling the same garbage for the next 5 games, and giving the 12 year old pros what they wanted.

Lwhit64340d ago

COD died with Vince Zampella and the rest of the crew that's working on Totanfall right now.

I don't know guy, people have weird fetishes out there.

PeEsFour4340d ago

Wow, the word "Squad" is such right a step in the right direction. This word changed the whole gaming world. Great word.

teezy4340d ago

They know BF4 is going to do well and probably better this year so they are copying elements of it.

That day when Activision fired Jason and Vince

“Jason and Vince just got fired!” A lead artist shouted, as he rode in on one of the many small kick-push scooters that would typically lay around the studio. He quickly scooted away to some other part of the office space to spread that shocking message.

Activision would say that to all their victims. Here’s money now get over it.

RhinoGamer88501d ago

A friend worked there in production and was miserable due to working with IW and with ATVI. When he complained to his VP about it, he was told...be glad you have a job and are making games.

mastershredder501d ago

Sounds about right, but is also sounds like something Infinity Ward would say. They made their own bed and cashed in hard to do it. F em.

franwex501d ago

That sucks, but that’s corporate America. I mean, they could’ve turned down the money and leave to Respawn too. At least they got something, my corporation would’ve probably expected everyone to go back to normal.

"oh we're running ur life? pff get over it, like honestly"

theindiearmy501d ago

I mean, if my company wants to give me a bonus and raise my salary by 50%, I'd get over whatever the hell they wanted me to. 🤷‍♂️

Another dev team for call of duty, like there isn't enough currently........ yayyyy

Well this atleast partly confirms yearly releases are definitely remaining, doubling down if anything.

Rynxie580d ago

That's what we need, two call of duties every year. I'm calling it.

Brazz580d ago

Hopefully, with more studios they can make better COD, 4h campaings are unacceptable.

Killer2020UK580d ago

🎉 Call of Duty Q1, Call of Duty Q2, Call of Duty Q3, Call of Duty Q4 🎉
