Well it's true. If people would stop hating on this game, then lapping it up like a pig at a troth when the annual installments hit shelves, then Activision wouldn't do it. Th

Most of the bf fanboys don't know any better.

bwazy5102d ago

What the hell are you talking about.

nbsmatambo5102d ago

yea, thats what i always say....if you dont like it dont buy it

KDubyah5102d ago (Edited 5102d ago )

I don't think it's so much that people don't like Call of Duty (obviously).
But, at least for me, and others I know, it's the lack of innovation, and such.
Not to mention the problems they have. The PS3 version was horrendous.
All the bugs, glitches, network problems, unbalanced gameplay, on and on.
The games are fun, I admit that, but they have problems that irritate people.
But, Activision knows people will buy the game, why spend more money?

Then the whole ordeal with their map packs, I don't mind but some do.

CaptainPunch5102d ago (Edited 5102d ago )

The interview is on a website called legendofzelda? Lol WTF.

Xizor5102d ago

We're switching from Zelda to General Gaming; the domain is temporary. :P

ATiElite5102d ago (Edited 5102d ago )

if they did things according to gamer research and feedback then why in the hell do they still NOT have dedicated servers?

Bobby kotick is a lying snake mouth MoFo! Elite is nothing more than a money grab. Every single thing on it has been done for free by other Gamer Fan sites or other Games.

Extensive research my Ass!

artsaber5102d ago (Edited 5102d ago )

They probably did conduct extensive research, but the only changes implemented were ones to gain Activision revenue. If any suggested measure resulted in a extended cost or monetary loss for Kotick & Co. (a.k.a dedicated servers), then those measures were more than likely discarded @ warp speed. They simply adhered to results favorable to them.

Screw the customer and what would improve their experience, cause they'll buy it broken anyhow - is their motto

shayol33t5102d ago

The research was into what they can charge for the least amount of stuff, and the optimal retard price rate for map packs.

Allowen5102d ago

Thera are quite few free to play FPS multiplayer online games avaiable.
Just choose one that is not CoDMW3 then.Simple.

Simon_Brezhnev5102d ago

but you know its all about peer pressure. LOL. If they friends get it they will to. I have never played a COD game.

HK65102d ago

You should try CoD4. It was actually a good game.

RickHiggity5102d ago

I actually tryed to get my black ops loving friends into cod4. they hated it because they sucked at it. just goes to show where this series has gone.

NoobJobz5102d ago

You're completely right. I think alot of sales are because somebodys friend has it and therefore they buy it to play with that friend. I know I've bought a few games I wouldn't buy otherwise just because my friends did.
1. NPPL Championship Paintball- game was terrible but all my friends had it
2. Black Ops- honestly wasn't going to buy it at all but soon everyone had it
3. ODST- never really interested but again everyone was playing it

those are just a few but you get the point.

RickHiggity5102d ago

I already have the burden of owning the last 2 games. don't try to make me feel guilty about it

Sure I’m missing a few.

Mannn… worlds scaries police chases… that took me back lol

Knushwood Butt131d ago

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
SSX
Skate

M_Prime130d ago

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

YourMommySpoils130d ago

They are making the first one, as we speak.

jznrpg131d ago (Edited 131d 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

jznrpg131d ago (Edited 131d 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.
