On November 21, the first-ever Halo Infinite online tournaments rounded out with some incredible action across all regions — and top Call of Duty pros and personalities were struck by the success of it.
Call of Duty: Vanguard has sold over 30 million copies, a milestone confirmed by the game's former social media strategist.
That's the thing about Call of Duty: it gets panned online, but still sells gangbusters.
Begs the question: is the online community complaining truly a vocal minority, or are people just unprincipled? Both I'm sure, but to what extent?
Just like Madden and Fifa (FC), the audience is conditioned to buy every year by EA and ATVI.
Why talk about Vanguard? It was still the best selling game of that year. And at a 70+ metacritic.
Modern Warfare 3 last year was the 2nd best selling game of the year(been awhile since it wasn't 1st) and at a 50+ metacritic.
It would be cool to see the sales for all the call of duties to see if there's a trend and to compare.
I have only bought 2-3 CoD’s ever and the last time I bought one was at least a decade ago. The only reason I bought it back then was to play with my Son who was still in high school. I got some copies for free here and there from friends but I would only play the campaign. I’ve been burned out on PVP since Battlefield Vietnam on PC , Planetside stuff like that. I do enjoy PVE if done well but I doubt I’ll ever play a PVP game again unless they do something totally different than what’s been done before and I don’t see that happening anytime soon.
I have friends that buy every CoD and I ask them why do they still play after 20 years of the same game? Most of them say because of their online friends or real life friends that play it. Not because the game is good or it’s better than the last.
Maybe because people pre ordered it. I have pre ordered every COD since COD MW 2019. I enjoyed mw and cold war. Didn't play beta to vanguard I just pre ordered it like 2 days before release and regretted it a few days after release as it was bad.
Xbox Game Pass has some great single-player experiences, but nowadays, it's all about getting together with friends and family. Thankfully, there's a surprisingly extensive library of multiplayer titles on Game Pass to bring everyone together.
PS5-exclusive Helldivers 2 is so popular that Xbox players want a taste of democracy, and now Halo Forge will be the battleground for a Helldivers 2 remake.
Just get a PS5 and be done with it. Four Xbox exclusives are making their way over with more to follow down the road.
I remember the good old days of Halo 3 and the Forge. Some wild game games came from it.
Don't get this mentality. Nothing is stopping these people from buying a PS5
I don't get fanboyism and refusing to purchase a competitors console.
HA! All the while Xbox games are popping up in PS stores. To be honest, on day exclusivity will probably be gone and each will just provide a streaming service bundle, but why not have fun while we can.
Halo is back!
Halo has always been better in esport compare to COD.
The game-play is just so good... Definitely didn't go into it expecting it to be so fun. Now we just need more content, maps, game modes, etc.
Now COD pros want Change! COD now needs to step it up next year. I hope this is kick in the pants for the developers.
Rather play the new Halo than Vanguard.
