Dear David Vonderhaar

Carlos Morales A.K.A. CarlosX360 writes: "Black Ops II just came out, and a lot of players are excited to play the game. However, I think Black Ops 2 is causing a lot of havoc more than it solves. Treyarch wants to change the Call of Duty formula, and innovate, but falls flat on it's face because of the various little problems with Black Ops 2. I lay down the real problems and tell it like it is!"

Happy New Year to everyone at N4G!

Can't believe how much shit people give about this garbage game (not referring to this article just in general). This is like Perpetuum mobile ! They pay full price every year for a game that depends on somebody's connection, then bitch about lag/connectivity issues and buy copy paste game next year with slight alterations and same issue :D Activision stopped giving shit after CoD2. Now they just print money out of thin air every November... until consumers start voting with valets they just gonna keep doing it over and over.

Activision understands that the majority of gamers are "sheeple" and will play whateva the CoD fanboy review sites (IGN, KOTAKU, etc) tells them to play. That's why they spend so much time, effort and money to play these sites for their reviews. Classic example of this was MW3. Clearly and copy and paste job, but was praised to no end by the fanboy review sites. But people soon realized the game was garbage. Unfortunately, the sheeple won't hold CoD accountable as a rinse and repeat title like it is and thus, the same crap will be released year after year.

While I sort of agree with what you're saying, I have a very hard time taking anyone using the word "sheeple" seriously.

Can this mother fucker just get lost already

He belongs in here ⚰️, hopefully sooner than later.

MrDead115d ago (Edited 115d 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

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.

Profchaos166d ago

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

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

dveio166d 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.

blacktiger166d ago

you need to stop saying "let see next year"
