….and so it begins, be careful “Groundbreaking AI fish” incoming!

_SilverHawk_1513d ago

I know battlefield 6 will look amazing and it'll be a day one buy for me and hearing about the next call of duty has me excited as well which I hope doesn't control or look like cold war. I'll definitely buy the next call of duty game because Activision knows a new battlefield comes out this year so I know they'll try their very best to have an amazing call of duty game to complete.

Jin_Sakai1513d ago

Sledgehammer Games are also opening a new studio. Hopefully this years CoD is better than Cold War which IMO is crap.

Ashunderfire861512d ago

To be fair that was Infinity Ward that said that infamous fish AI quote.

DJStotty1512d ago

Promises "stunning visuals"

That is like me promising "wet water"

purple1011512d ago

This one is using the modern warfare engine. Not the cheapo black ops engine.

The engine for modernware was the main reason I got it. First cod in ten years for me. And it was worth it.

Skipped.cold war after playing the beta....physics were a step back from mw

DJStotty1512d ago

Cold war was my first COD since black ops 2, and it did not impress, same over promised under delivered rinse and repeat as normal.

If the MP has the same AI BS integration as every iteration since modern warfare 2, then it is not for me.

Rude-ro1512d ago

It is also still the og engine just modified.
Falling for textures and sound is kind of 🤦

StoneyYoshi1512d ago (Edited 1512d ago )

@Rude-ro
"It is also still the og engine just modified."

Same can be said for any game engine out there. Cryengine, Unreal, Frostbite, etc.

They are all based off of their OG engine but highly modified over the years. The problem everyone had with the engine used for COD over the years was the fact that their modifications to the engine came off as lazy after seeing basically the same visuals for 5+ releases in a row before we started seeing bigger differences. Now with the MW engine, it is the largest upgrade in terms of visuals, audio, ballistics, and technical capabilities (ex. Warzone) we've seen since COD4MW

Now that we have the next-gen systems available. We should hopefully see a large difference in visuals and audio compared to COD 2019.

Kurupt1512d ago

Same old every year..this shouldn't even be classed as news..so nothi to see here..

DJStotty1512d ago

Exactly, how many times have they said MP will be using dedicated servers lol?

Rude-ro1512d ago

Just about every year since mw 2

Gardenia1512d ago

They should change the visibility of the characters and the lighting of the game. I can't even see half of the time.

demonseye1512d ago

just promise me good gameplay and something that doesnt need a seperate SSD to run it on.

Blashted1512d ago (Edited 1512d ago )

Lmao "Stunning Visuals"....just days after reports of the game being in a disastrous state development wise, rumors of delays into 2022, and being confirmed for last gen systems. On top of that, its another WW2 shooter from Sledgehammer. This will definitely be a CoD to skip. I've played CoD for 17 years now lol I know a trash iteration when I smell one. Wait for IW in 2022 for MW2 and get Battlefield this year, a proper next gen only shooter that's been in the works for 3 years now.

Report: First Call of Duty 2021 Images Leak Out

It seems the first Call of Duty 2021 images have leaked! While there's something Call of Duty 2021 related happening on August 19 as well.

autobotdan1413d ago

I didn't know there was going to be another one

quenomamen1413d ago

Theres always another COD game.

dbcoops1413d ago

lol, right? Rather we wanted it or not.

coolfool1413d ago

This is definitely sarcasm.

zachyBROosevelt1413d ago

I’ve always said there needs to be a sarcasm key or something on a keyboard because it’s always hard to convey through writing or text

thorstein1413d ago (Edited 1413d ago )

@boyyzackk Currently sarcasm is either indicated by "/s" "/sarcasm" or bY aLtErNaTiNg EvErY oThEr LeTtEr As A cApItAl (aka Mocking Spongebob). There are generators that let you type in your comment and then sarcasm them up.

LordoftheCritics1413d ago

Hope this one has a call center map called Caller Duty

autobotdan1413d ago

There hasn't been a new Call of Duty game in over 10 years. It's long overdue for another one. I dont know why there isn't a new Call of Duty game every year

I hope sledgehammer tries harder this time, because COD WWII wasn't very good. Dice may be bringing the heat this year if they don't want to get embarrassed again.

MasterChief36241413d ago

I really liked WWII, but Advanced Warfare was really their peak so far. I hope for a vision closer to that one, but I also understand that a lot of people got tired of the hyper traversal mechanics in Call of Duty. But man, that game really got its hooks in me, for some reason. Blops II was my original favorite, but AW exceeded it.

KyRo1413d ago

The reason COD has been in a state after MW is because if SHs cockup. They've had to scrape together another WW2 shooter the same way Treyarch had to rush out a game last year. SH COD title was that busted Activision pulled the plug on it.

Role on next year for MW2

senorfartcushion1412d ago

Making rivalries between game companies is dumb,

moomoo3191413d ago

You can be dissapointed and also not buy it lol

Abear211413d ago

Halo and Battlefield are going to body COD so hard this year, a few months from release and the first info we get has to leak, not a great sign

Profchaos1413d ago (Edited 1413d ago )

Black ops cold war didn't get it's first info drop until closer to launch and some like crazy.

It's cod doesn't matter what you or anyone here thinks about it and despite how hard you want it to flip it will sell millions in Xmas sales alone. It's been going on for years everyone wants to jump up and down and claim franchise fatigue and Activision is just making the next guitar hero a popular franchise and over saturating.it yet it's been dropping yearly since 2007 and making billions.

Halo and bf are just not as big in terms of franchise popularity

Hikoran1413d ago

Has someone sent a memo to all devs to say we want loads of 4 player co op PVE games?

Activision: We Do “Like Our Position a Lot” When It Comes to Call of Duty 2021 and Its Competition

Activision president says we "like our position a lot" in regards to Call of Duty 2021's competition due out this holiday.

seanpitt231420d ago

Soon they will say this is the best cod they have ever made like they do every year haha

NeoGamer2321418d ago

The best two CoD games were the original Cod Modern Warfare and CoD Black Ops. The others have built on those or not met those.

DaniMacYo1420d ago

Haha okay Activision....Okay

SpeedDemon1420d ago

Like it or not, they're probably right and will outsell the competition as they do with every COD game

excaliburps1420d ago

You never know though. BF2042 and Halo Infinite are heavy guns. If one of those click, and COD sucks ass, then you can see the tides turning. Nothing lasts forever.

SlothLordPootus1420d ago

@excaliburps We thought that 10 years ago with the release of Battlefield 3 vs Modern Warfare 2.5, and Call of Duty has continued its reign since.

Halo usually does good numbers, but doesn't seem to have the legs of other FPS games.

In all likelihood the battlefield franchise has probably shrank in audience. The hardcore players are likely playing even more hardcore games (Tarkov, Rust, Siege). I have seen many complain about the lack of realism in BF 2042. The more casual players will stick to COD, which offers warzone and multiplayer, leaving a shrinking audience to play Battlefield.

DragonWarrior191420d ago

I don't actually believe it exists this year but I don't really care because I haven't bought Call of Duty in over ten years because it's terrible and now with their recent skeletons coming out of the closet I hope nobody does.

Smok911420d ago

After witnessing people’s response to Epstein’s accomplices and they’re roles in government and business I don’t think people will care much about Activisions revelations.

DragonWarrior191419d ago

Well they are just going to have to deal with being compliant with sexual assault. Just like the people still supporting and buying games made by studios owned by Tenccent even though we know they are from and in line with the communist government of China and the people who support them support communism.

TheEnigma3131420d ago

They probably don't even have a name for it smh. They will just release something garbage that will sell a lot.

Father__Merrin1420d ago

COD is so popular even if you don't like it you can sell it easy there's no doubt they have a guarantee of hitting number 1 spot because of how big it is.

I'm holding off from Vanguard for now though

Activision: Next Call of Duty "Really Robust Game at Launch;" "Seamless" for Current and Next-Gen

During today’s financial conference call for investors and analysts, Activision Blizzard executives talked about the next Call of Duty game

Another cross gen CoD game. How exciting. Can’t be any worse than Cold War I guess.

ActualWhiteMan1421d ago

Cold War is Cold Garbage. I'm sure this years will suck too. Not buying at launch...

Jin_Sakai1420d ago (Edited 1420d ago )

“Cold War is Cold Garbage. I'm sure this years will suck too. Not buying at launch...”

Agreed. They can keep their $70 150GB garbage. BF6 and Halo Infinite is where it’s at this year. Halo Infinite MP being F2P is also great and should bring in more players.

JEECE1421d ago

Lol COD and sports games are about the only situations where cross gen makes sense. People always say "but the install base!" when anyone complains about cross gen, but in the case of more hardcore games, the install base numbers between new and old consoles don't matter much because the hardcore who actually buy games are the ones who move to the new consoles (this was exemplified by Hitman 3 on PS5 doubling the PS4 version's sales in the UK). However, the casuals who buy COD and Fifa are the ones who aren't upgrading, so it actually does make sense to keep those on the old machines (unlike something like God of War, which is going to sell the vast majority of its copies on PS5).

masterfox1422d ago

Robust game?, oh man I hope is not 300 GB this time lol.

Muigi1421d ago

That’s exactly what that means lol.

LucasRuinedChildhood1421d ago

It probably just means that it has the same amount of maps and other content at launch as old COD games, or not quite as much. lol.

GoodGuy091422d ago

Will have to wait for mw sequel next year sadly. I do enjoy sledgehammer campaigns though.

ActualWhiteMan1421d ago

Yep, likely going to be another year playing MW 2019 for me until the sequel drops.

XxSPIDEYxX1421d ago

Do they realize it's almost September? There's no name, there's no CG trailer, there's no gameplay. Just talk to prevent investors from worrying.

Hellcat20201421d ago

They obviously waited till the BF trailer dropped so they can try and make last minute changes

Jin_Sakai1420d ago

“Do they realize it's almost September? There's no name, there's no CG trailer, there's no gameplay. Just talk to prevent investors from worrying.”

The game is a mess just like Cold War. That’s why they supposedly have every studio working on the game.
