beta starts 11/9/10
why would Activi$ion spend money on a public beta, when 5 million cod fanboys will buy it in the first 3 days and find all the bugs for free? Disagree if you want, you know its true.

OMG its MW2 all over again !

While I agree somewhat The_Claw, it's ironic that you say that with a "BFBC" logo as your avatar. BF games are the most notoriously glitchy FPS series ever. They didn't even get close to fixing BF2 fully until the last year or so, and it came out in 2005.

BF is a great series, don't get me wrong. But DICE has the worst quality assurance on the planet.

The_Claw5667d ago (Edited 5667d ago )

is this a bf post? lemme check

nope

and maybe on the pc side, but what pc game isnt full of glitches/hacks?

frostypants5667d ago (Edited 5667d ago )

I'm pretty amped for the customization stuff, and the purchase system sounds cool. You have to at LEAST admit that Treyarch has done much more with this than IW did with MW2.

Give Treyarch some due credit here.

It's too bad Activision is allowing gameservers.com to monopolize the dedicated servers, though. That was a kick in the nuts for the PC crowd.

jdktech20105667d ago

you people are never happy...you wanted dedi servers nad you got them and you complain about the wrong company doing them. I have no idea why but geeze can't people just be happy about getting what they want anymore?

Can this mother fucker just get lost already

PRIMORDUS53d ago

He belongs in here ⚰️, hopefully sooner than later.

MrDead52d ago (Edited 52d 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

franwex103d 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.

Profchaos103d ago

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

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

dveio103d 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.

blacktiger103d ago

you need to stop saying "let see next year"
