Call of Duty and innovative in the same sentence? Don't make me laugh.

/facepalm

GraveLord4834d ago

Funny how trolls like you are the first to comment on Call of Duty articles.

TheGOODKyle4834d ago

I don't think of it as CoD trolling, I think of it as saving the gaming industry trolling.

ACBAA4833d ago

also the first to play it

I_LOVE_MYSELF4834d ago

It's not like a majority of games are using perk systems thanks to CoD4 or anything.

In before Call of Duty and inno... damn ._.

Hazmat134834d ago

atleast is a different from cod not modern or past but the future more player controlled vehicles the player you control has a face and a name and most of all a voice! also combat training for just fun bot killing and nazi zombies! in terms of the COD brand its innovative as a whole as compared to other games its alright but there are better games.

They barely add anything and people call them innovative

3-4-54834d ago

They've added a ton of new stuff. Wek up and stop spreading lies. Have you even read about what they have added ?

People like you are worthless.

hougigo4834d ago

What do they add other than new guns and barley new futures?
Soon as it's released it's the same old thing.
I'll still buy it, but used because Activision doesn't get my money for recycling the same shit

vallencer4834d ago

@hougigo

So you're saying they only added a couple barely new things and just recycled everything else? Their whole custom class system has changed, kill streaks have changed, weapons, zombies mode is bigger an different, the single player has its own custom class along with fail able missions and different endings. But you're going to tell me they haven't changed "shit". Well sir or madam you're wrong they've changed a lot. Changing how the core base of the game plays without all te added things would be a terrible idea because it then would not be call of duty.

Yeah, the Microsoft deal has DEFINITELY worked out for everyone.

Can this mother fucker just get lost already

He belongs in here ⚰️, hopefully sooner than later.

MrDead10h ago(Edited 10h ago)

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

franwex51d ago

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"

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.

P_Bomb240d ago

Love the Cybertron games! TF games have been shit lately. Would love to see that era revisited. I even did the multiplayer!

MrBaskerville239d ago

Is the retro classics for all consoles?

Obscure_Observer240d ago

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!!!

Deathdeliverer240d ago

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!

babadivad239d ago

Just finished Clair Obscur. This should be fun.
