"First, I would like to say that my opinion is my own and I have the utmost respect for Activision. My favorite first-person shooters are all contained in the Modern Warfare library of games. I am someone who usually doesn’t get offended easily, but if I see something that bothers me, I need to say something about it. This becomes more so when it’s a company that I have bought many products from and am a fan of.
I just finished watching the trailer for the third downloadable content pack from MW3. I was originally writing an article to talk about the DLC’s release tomorrow. After watching the video, I could not bring myself to continue the article because I was so disgusted by this trailer and I have quite a few things to say about it."
A variety of new updates are available this month across the gaming platforms. Coming today, Retro Classics games are available to play for Xbox Game Pass members. Players who stream on the Xbox app on PC now have an additional streaming option with GeForce Now. Game Bar introduces quick settings, visual updates for Widgets in Compact Mode, and coming soon, Microsoft Edge Game Assist, an in-game browser that brings an immersive game-centric experience to Edge. And Xbox gift cards can now be redeemed for any amount via Xbox Rewards.
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.
Love the Cybertron games! TF games have been shit lately. Would love to see that era revisited. I even did the multiplayer!
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!!!
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!
According to a developer working on the title, Activision is working on a narrative-based open-world game based on a new engine through its new studio.
It was recently revealed in an exclusive episode of the 'Grit' podcast that EA once passed up acquiring Blizzard, Activision, and Call of Duty.
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.
If it was owned by EA, COD could’ve disappeared a looong time ago. They have no clue how to manage franchises.
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.
"This becomes more so"
Grammar face palm
Oh, god...another one of these articles. Females make up half the gaming community? LMFAO! The 9 years of Xbox Live under my belt is enough to tell you that statement is absurd.
No disrespect against girl gamers whatsoever, but, please, STFU about this female gamer garbage. The commercial's lines were intended as a joke, and since the mass majority of FPS gamers ARE males, it only makes sense. Also, shooting/blowing things up is not considered "womanlike," sarcastically or not. Get real, and just play the game.
Again, no disrespect to female gamers. I'll frag your ass or give you covering fire no matter what gender you are. I'm just sick of these dumbasses reading too far into clever advertising. No one cares whether you're a chick or a dude. Seriously.
Besides, you don't hear any of us dudes bitching about all the feminist commercials on TV that paint men to be meatheads/dogs/whipped by their women, do you?
