Destiny is the game to see--rest I don't care about.

MizTv4715d ago

I agree but knowing them it will be cod cod cod

Whore_Mouth4712d ago

Unfortunately, you may be correct.

BigShotSmoov0074715d ago

I think they going to promote the hell out of destiny also cause thats there next big thing. They have to know the COD is going to start to slow down and Destiny is there next big franchise for the next 10 years. So I'm sure we'll see and hear alot about Destiny.

ForgivenZombie4715d ago

Activision really needs some new IP's, the only one I want is DESTINY.

ForgivenZombie4715d ago

I hope they don't do to DESTINY like they have COD, that would piss me off.

TheFutureIsBlue4715d ago

I'm hoping Bungie doesn't get pushed around with Destiny.

ForgivenZombie4715d ago

Hopefully Bungie stands up to Activision like they did Microsoft and stay true to their vision for Destiny.

Whore_Mouth4712d ago

As a long time Bungie forum goer, I will say that on many occasion, they have stated how much their independence means to them. Hopefully they mean it, and have stayed true to their own vision. It's good to see a company willing to stand out in a crowd, even if it means giving up a massive franchise like Halo.

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

Can this mother fucker just get lost already

PRIMORDUS180d ago

He belongs in here ⚰️, hopefully sooner than later.

MrDead180d ago (Edited 180d 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

franwex231d 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.

Profchaos231d ago

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

bsingle40231d 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

dveio231d 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.

blacktiger231d ago

you need to stop saying "let see next year"
