So this'll be the base free game and every next Call of Duty's items, characters and themes gonna get added in yearly basis, then ...

REDGUM1505d ago

Better than zombies every year..

NeoGamer2321505d ago

Yup, because now everyone has switched to Battle Royales.

ilikestuff1505d ago

Free, I’ll try this bad boy out. I’m not a big fan of the battle royales but zero money is zero risk and the trailer was badass

Activision has got to be the most improved publisher over the pass year...

and capcom the being the best restructured

sander97021505d ago

I think they changed CEO a year or two back, that might be why.

Prince-Ali1505d ago

no... no they haven't it's still that devil Bobby Kotick

Prince-Ali1505d ago

You clearly haven't been paying attention if you think that.. Activision is STILL scum!

Newmanator1505d ago

Why? Free map packs, free guns, free blackout, no pay to win, back to boots on the ground modern warfare, better graphics, better gameplay features. How is that scummy?

MajorLazer1504d ago (Edited 1504d ago )

Activison is scum, however MW really is a good game. I bought it at launch and have been enjoying since, and the support has been nice.

Only extra purchase I made was the battle pass and that was only £8.50, plus I managed to get enough points through the pass that I didn't need to pay again the following season.

Forn1504d ago

Agreed. Spawning is still broken most of the time.

Prince-Ali1503d ago

you guys in this thread are hilarious... Just Google how much money Activision make on Microtransactions and WHY they've made the decision for 'free' map packs and stuff... You guys dont know what you're talking about... Go and actually look at what this company thinks and the decisions they've made with their other games they've published!! ¬___¬... ACTIVISION ARE AND ALWAYS WILL BE SCUM!!!

@Newmanator – Free map packs lol. The game started with 6 small maps, and now what 10? Nearly half remakes. We used to get 16 At Launch. They are not giving out free map packs they are just cutting content at launch

REDGUM1505d ago

Better to have less at the beginning and have regular DLC releases than everything at once, like you say 16 maps, and people get bored quicker as most maps have been played already or only 6 or so maps are regularly played anyway.

I like thier approach this time, it's been free, regular & way morefun than previous rekeases.

Haters are gonna hate, if you don't like it please move along.

Newmanator1505d ago

So development costs have risen and the game is still $60, your point?

Vegamyster1505d ago

It launched with 10 small-normal maps, 7 Gun Fight Maps and 2 ground war maps (3 if you count palace).

Rhythmattic1504d ago (Edited 1504d ago )

@VoiceMale
"Activision has got to be the most improved publisher over the pass year..."

A publisher like activision and the lows they've gone to, it really couldn't be hard to make an improvement.

VoiceMale1504d ago

yea well that's true but still doesnt change the fact that they made great strives towards a different more user friendly approach with modern warfare

Meh, leave this for the 12 year olds, gunfight is where it's at for me.

generic-user-name1505d ago

Why can't you just say you prefer gunfight without calling others 12 year old? That's 12 year old mentality.

Prince-Ali1505d ago

i mean bro.. look at his user name that should say enough lool

Newmanator1505d ago

“LEAVE THIS FOR THE 12 YEAR OLDS” *storms into bedroom and slams door like a 12 year old*

Hungryalpaca1504d ago

So shouldn’t you be in this then? If it’s for the 12 year olds?

Fraggle19871505d ago

Looks great. Does this require PS Plus to play?

spicelicka1505d ago

I don't think so. As far as I know by default any free to play game on PS4 is playable without PS Plus.

SillyBastid1505d ago

yes, its online play so you need PS Plus

aquamala1505d ago

Free to play online games on PlayStation don’t require ps+, it’s not like Xbox.

MrChow6661505d ago

Wrong, it's FREE to play, just like Apex Legends for example

MajorLazer1504d ago

Would be moronic to make it free but still require PS+. This is their answer to Fortnite & Apex. Can't wait 😁

porkChop1505d ago

Normally I would say no. But the actual PS+ ads for this game clearly state PS+ is required. It's odd. This is the first F2P game I can think of that requires PS+ to play.

BioShockGX1504d ago

From what i understood PS+ is not required but you'll get extra items if you have it.

Monetization in Gaming Is Getting Insane

Trevor Walker said: Well, here we are again. Every time I think I’ve said all I have to say about this topic, another studio falls into the same cycle. Monetization in video games seems to be getting more and more out of hand. If you’ve played any AAA title in the last 6 years, you’ve surely seen it. Battle passes, exclusive skins, and sometimes pay to win features have spread throughout the gaming industry like a plague, and we need a cure. Badly. I never thought I’d see the day, but the first game that comes to mind is one that holds a special place in my heart.

You need a cure. Here it is:

1. Don’t buy the game.
2. Don’t just not buy the game, announce it!

Announce on every social media/chat/discourse/streaming … platform available & imaginable that you will not buy the game that is coming out & state the reason that we all know. Then advise others to do the same.

Once you’ve announced it, announce it again for the next game by the same dev that you will not buy their future product either, because of their past dealings with consumers.

3. See 1.

PRIMORDUS9d ago

I don't sub to anything digital, games, movies, TV shows, etc. I just take what I want for PC for the unbeatable price of $0.00 🤣 But I sometimes buy the occasional game, but as for the others I mentioned yeah ok, haha paying for a streaming service to watch shows, movies, etc man GTFO lol

jznrpg9d ago (Edited 9d ago )

I know many people who don’t buy MTs or support gaas. But unfortunately there are just as many people that I know who do and they don’t care about it. Companies won’t stop doing it until the vast majority don’t buy anything. Some GaaS do it better than others but most are looking to make as much MT money as they can get away with and there’s too many who don’t mind it at all

anast9d ago

Reviewers can prioritize monetization schemes in their reviews and give companies low scores based on severity.

Chocoburger8d ago

This is one of the reasons why I've been focusing more on older games from PS3 & X360 all the way back to the NES.
Rarely can a modern big budget game garner my attention, because its just the same stale concept over and over again. Open world, busy work, grinding, where your job is literally to be a trash collector (constantly picking up endless resources off the ground), the entire industry has been copying Ubi-junk, and I'm just not interested.

Add in the fact that games are clearly releasing in beta form (sometimes very early beta form!), then there's randomized gear you have to pick up and upgrade, then all those boring skill trees to fill in, which is the laziest form of fake game progression imaginable.

Then there's the nasty business model of paying an extra $20 just to play an unfinished game 3 days early. Disgusting behavior, and anyone who supports those companies are actively making our industry worse.

The game industry has never been perfect, but its also never been this bad either.
