Should we all boycott the COD Map Pack?

Console Monster writes:

This is something that has been bugging me for a while now so I've decided to write it all down so you too can have your say.

I love Call of Duty: Black Ops. In fact I love the Call of Duty series and have done ever since Call of Duty 2 was released a mere six years ago. I've been loyal to the series but the thing that it has affected most is my wallet. Almost periodically every three to four months I've had to dig into my wallet, find my card details and purchase yet more Microsoft points - Points which I despise but that's for another rainy day.

Machinima give the game free advertisement. On-topic there might be a bundle for the map packs like World at War at a reasonable price instead of the separate packs. I like Black Ops but I have other games to play.

Yi-Long4835d ago

... but none of the CoD fanboys will boycot this. They just lap it up as always.

InLaLaLand4835d ago

Yeah it's just annoying looking at the youtube gaming section (as I always say), it's mostly full of COD videos we've seen since 2007. I do realise rendering can be a pain but it's just the same gameplay.

zeeshan4835d ago

Boycott the map packs? This is for those people who will actually buy the game. I have not bothered to buy anything Activision since MW1. Anything COD after MW1 totally sucks (at least that's my opinion) and I am not going to pay over and over for the same game every year. You wana boycott the maps packs and think that will change something? No! If you really wana stop buying crap then STOP BUYING COD games!

sphinct4835d ago (Edited 4835d ago )

People should be free to use their money in any way they see fit. Since the value of a purchased item lies in the eye of the beholder...who gives a shit others do with their $$?

Let them set it on fire if they want ;)

jessupj4835d ago

@ sphinct

Because maybe if those fools stopped taking it up the ass from activision everytime, they'd make a better for the rest of us that want a better game.

starcb264835d ago

I wanna buy them, but i'm boycotting the maps :\

badz1494835d ago

Nope..I have bought every single COD map pack since COD4 and i will keep doing it...We get it that people on this site dose not like the game but in the real world majority of us love COD online...If u people hate the game so much then y do u keep talking about it? Just ignor it and move on with ur life and stop trolling every COD article.

subtenko4835d ago

no, boycott the series all together. f this game...at least get BF3 this time around. More games deserve much more attention but no, people only play COD and talk about that game. not everyone, but ALOT...and they are missing out on great games cuz of this BS

ForROME4835d ago

I boycotted Activision as a whole 2 years ago good luck with their products.

Deadman_Senji4835d ago

Yeah, probably. I don't even buy Call of Duty games.

I can't tell you how to live though, I'm certainly not the best guide.

RugbyGod4835d ago

Then why are you even bothering to comment here??? sheeeesh.

Deadman_Senji4835d ago

Because people like you get upset about my opinions and I think it's funny.

Call of Duty really is a blight on the industry though.

RugbyGod4834d ago

dude, if you think this is me upset you need a thicker skin.

To troll for reaction is just being a douche and that's what i find funny...

ATLien4835d ago

Boycotting map packs is like boycotting gas prices we should but it will never happen.

maniacmayhem4835d ago (Edited 4835d ago )

Well how is this DLC any different from other games that do the exact same thing?

If you dont like it, dont buy it.

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.

Black Ops 1 Nuketown versus Cold War Nuketown '84

From DownSights: "Black Ops is not Black Ops without Nuketown. Following the tradition of releasing Nuketown for Black Ops games, the new Black Ops Cold War game also offers a revamped Nuketown called Nuketown '84.

Nuketown '84 has the same dimensions and map layout except for the aesthetics. The map's aesthetics have changed to fit the 80s theme, with destroyed buildings and graffiti-filled walls compared to a clean 50s suburban neighborhood seen in Black Ops 1."
