.. yes, and they will call it ..

"Milking Gunfights : Cow's testicles dried out, part 13" shooter, rated 3+

ApolloAdams4982d ago

The blind hate for two of the biggest console shooter franchises? Why I just never understood why people could hate on a franchise that millions love. I don't enjoy let's say Madden but I won't say "milking". Isn't it just supply and demand? The consumers want it and they get it?

3GenGames4982d ago

The "blind hate" for it is not not blind, but you apparently are.

SolidStoner4982d ago

I have all COD series BTW ;) and I have max prestige at almost all COD's, + Im good at it also, thats why I play it in 1st place..

anyway.. I do get frustrated about game commin out every year with same stuff.. and tiny count of maps.. + tiny amount of maps in DLC for high price every month, COD Elite is total failure and I will not even start to talk about Halo!

fourthpersonview4982d ago

The game would be great if it was developed solely by Bungie, but adding IW/Sledgehammer into the mix would only give us FAILURE!

arbitor3654982d ago

that is like if Michael Bay and Roland Emmerich combined their forces. ugh.

what do you want to bet that Farcry 3, Bioshock Infinite, and Borderlands 2 will be ten times better than anything these guys end up releasing? it will just rehashed, MP focused, casual crap

Jason1434982d ago

1. Issue number 1 Auto aim and assist needs to be off completely. This game is so much better on pc for it
2. New engine already
3. Dedicated servers like pc would save console fans wasted time at host migrations
4. Change the game completely already lol

Can this mother fucker just get lost already

He belongs in here ⚰️, hopefully sooner than later.

Kotick Made $155 million from MS in the buyout, the little b*tch needs to stop whining. Thanks to this Microslop deal and massive industry consolidation thousands upon thousands of devs and other workers lost their livelihoods. This greedy piggie pervert needs shut up and f-off.

Microsoft needs to listen or risk irreparable harm to Call of Duty

Windows Central: "The money may keep rolling in, but Microsoft is the custodian of one of the biggest selling video game series in history. If something doesn't change, I fear we'll reach a breaking point and irreparable damage will have been done."

Because ms is so good at managing studios, surely they will get it right

:P

In my view, they should probably merge MP with Warzone and essentially make it free to play like Halo Infinite. The campaign/zombies mode can be $30 yearly DLC. I know this would be insanity as most COD players essentially pay the full price of the game simply for the MP. However-with a shrinking player base they may have to consider it. Making it free would bring in a ton of players.

Profchaos51d ago

To late MW3 should have been a lesson but here we are two years later with a steaming pile a shite called blops7

bsingle4051d ago

Nothing lasts forever, eventually something will come along to make people forget about COD

Halo killer once arrived and technically call of duty killer also arrived, its name is Fortnite

dveio51d ago

Call of Duty was riding the revenue horse and charts for ~20 years. Whether undeserved or deserved.

But I endorse everyone to remind you that Microsoft could have decided differently when they took it over.

The money was certainly there, and they could have taken their time revamping the franchise:

Current-gen tech, manageable microtransactions, not imitating Fortnite and returning to core values of the franchise's origin.

They didn't.

Let's see next year. Hopefully without the then 13 years old PS4 and One hardware.

blacktiger51d ago

you need to stop saying "let see next year"
