This is the first map pack I have picked up for any of the Call of Duty games and i like but the price is still a little high.

AssassinHD5216d ago (Edited 5216d ago )

You bought it, so I would argue that as far as you are concerned, the price is acceptable. That is how the publisher will look at it anyway.

Dart895216d ago

If you keep buying them at that price they will either stay at that price or increase it another $5 dollars.

LightSamus5216d ago

Face it, a small minority of internet peoples sulking at the map price won't make them lower it. You can say until you're blue in the face that it's too pricey (and I do agree) but so long as there are decent amount of people buying it, they won't lower the price. Business is business and Activision... well you know what Activision are like...

maxcavsm5216d ago

Yup, just a matter of time...I imagine this time next year we'll be seeing the first $20 map pack from Modern Warfare 3.

AssassinHD5216d ago

People will buy it at that price. Mark my words. At $20/map pack they will still sell millions.

jagstatboy5216d ago

I hate the price, but at least we get 5 new maps compared to MW2 which gave 3 new maps for the same price.

mobijoker5216d ago

If they released mod tools,we could have tons of maps for free.Thats why valve rocks.

AmigoSniped5215d ago

The prices are high but I really am enjoying the hell out of it.

Ape Escape.
Fun game but, wow, you need a college degree to understand the controls.
A remaster would also save you from having to constantly fight the camera.
Keep the music though. Those drum and bass tracks fit really well and haven't aged. Made me think that more games could work well with drum and bass tracks, but unfortunately it's a somewhat niche genre now.

Max Payne Series
Infamous 1 & 2
NBA Street Vol 2

i could have sworn i read somewhere that Remedy is remaking May Payne 1 but things have been quiet lately

YourMommySpoils98d ago

They are making the first one, as we speak.

jznrpg99d ago (Edited 99d ago )

One of the few Xbox games I own. I have 3 copies of it because of the many discs it has, for just in case reasons

jznrpg99d ago (Edited 99d ago )

Xenogears, Xenosaga trilogy, Vagrant Story, Drakengards, Parasite Eve and many more but I’ll start with those

Black ops 4, because it was the last cod of duty I was able to dominate with a +2 k/d ratio. Before all the freaking cheating started to happen. It was nice catching people off guard and shooting at them first and getting the kill. Unlike now, where I shoot people first, but they gun me down with less hits, less time, literally feels like they can kill me in a split second. At times, they are able to run away after me shooting them way more than necessary, yet, the second I'm spotted, I'm dead, there's no me running away to cover. They can do cartwheels, summersaults, backflips and gun you down perfectly. They can shoot you across the map with perfect accuracy. They can jump around like morons and gun you down without even having to correct their aim. They have superman split second perfect reactions. That's the best way to describe it, everything they do is spot on perfect. They can spam and spray (no praying) their gun from far away, because they have no recoil or bullet spread. It always feels like I have to aim and also correct my aim when moving around, while these pricks don't have to do the same.

And yes, I know how to play fps games. I dominated many fps games like: Resistance 1&2, kz 2&3, Socom, MAG, Crysis, Gotham City Impostors, blitz brigade etc. all with 2-4 k/d ratio. Kz2 (lag input controls) and resistance (no aim assist in resistance) being the hardest and were the games I reached either close to a 3 k/d ratio or above.

I truly got to enjoy blacks ops 4 and got my money's worth out of it. Afterwords, I would either stop playing cod games after a while, because of the cheating, or would skip buying cod games for a year or two before buying another.
