beta starts 11/9/10
why would Activi$ion spend money on a public beta, when 5 million cod fanboys will buy it in the first 3 days and find all the bugs for free? Disagree if you want, you know its true.

OMG its MW2 all over again !

While I agree somewhat The_Claw, it's ironic that you say that with a "BFBC" logo as your avatar. BF games are the most notoriously glitchy FPS series ever. They didn't even get close to fixing BF2 fully until the last year or so, and it came out in 2005.

BF is a great series, don't get me wrong. But DICE has the worst quality assurance on the planet.

The_Claw5410d ago (Edited 5410d ago )

is this a bf post? lemme check

nope

and maybe on the pc side, but what pc game isnt full of glitches/hacks?

frostypants5410d ago (Edited 5410d ago )

I'm pretty amped for the customization stuff, and the purchase system sounds cool. You have to at LEAST admit that Treyarch has done much more with this than IW did with MW2.

Give Treyarch some due credit here.

It's too bad Activision is allowing gameservers.com to monopolize the dedicated servers, though. That was a kick in the nuts for the PC crowd.

jdktech20105410d ago

you people are never happy...you wanted dedi servers nad you got them and you complain about the wrong company doing them. I have no idea why but geeze can't people just be happy about getting what they want anymore?

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_Bomb35d ago

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

MrBaskerville34d ago

Is the retro classics for all consoles?

Obscure_Observer35d 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!!!

Deathdeliverer35d 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!

babadivad34d 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.

fsfsxii132d ago

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

Gamingsince1981119d 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.

SoloGamer1131d ago

thank goodness we dodged that landmine 😒
