I like that. Not bad tbh

fluffydelusions5468d ago (Edited 5468d ago )

Yeah looks good even though I know I'm asking for down votes by saying that.

Sunhammer5468d ago

How Call of Duty "haters" operate.

New COD is announced.
Fans pissed over how broken the last installment was complain and pretend, just to seem cool, that they have no interest in this new one.
Gameplay is shown and now all of a sudden "oh wow, that doesn't look bad at all." Even though it is exactly the same as the past games.

So sad. Activision has you bent.

GrieverSoul5468d ago

Looks good tbh!

Note: OMG! Just saw a guy playing Future Soldier with kinect... -_- I threw up a little in my mouth...

grailly5468d ago

I nearly cried when the sequence started off with blowing up a door and entering it in slow-mo lol. As if they didn't already overdo it in MW2. the rest lokked quite good, but it's still just CoD prettied up a bit

ferpowerful5468d ago

Yay ! Another Map Pack for 60 dlls + 2(15dlls) i should buy it with COD ELITE ahahahaha

XIIIWARRIOR5468d ago

As much as everyone complains, it will indeed be a hot seller no doubt!

what was there to like, to be honest, a bunch of Scripted events.

It's better if they call it COD 4/MW2 Remake.

DoomeDx5468d ago

Yeah, and i kept thinking
''What are they trying to show here? Everything is the same. Exacly the same sound effects too..''

Takoulya5468d ago

CoD simply operates of gimmicks since 4.

CoD 4: Perks!
WaW: Zombies!
MW2: Spec Ops!
Black Ops: Wager Matches!

Along with far too many others to name, especially the scripted as hell single player, although enjoyable for how long it lasts.

PinkFunk5468d ago

The video is quite small so it's difficult to say anything with 100% conviction. However, though I usually fall under the category of "sigh another COD game, move along", that video was pretty wild. I don't much mind if they're scripted events as long as it draws me into the environment and the overall feel of the experience.

Who knows, it may end up being same old COD (MW2 and BlackOps looked very outdated to me), but it may end up being a bit of a revival for the franchise. I didn't watch the conference so f*** if I know.

LOGICWINS5468d ago

It definetly looks good, I won't take that away from it..but, I'm sure we will see more games at E3 that can top that.

MidnytRain5468d ago

Unless Robert Bowling tells us about the improved innovations in their glass. XD

JUDALATION5468d ago

Look... The average cod fan is a 12 yr old noob who does not get what great story in a fps is. They dont understand what PVP and Host advantage is and they dont care... Any game that has dedicated servers and even gameplay moderatly near cods will absolutly destroy it... Homefrount came close but had too many setbacks... will there be any game coming out that has a chance?

on another note, The AA12 are really too powerfull to be in video games... In real life they have a range of up to 120 meters with the right ammo... Why would you replicate that in a video game when it would be total cheeze? why not add the thunder gun while youre at it?

NatureOfLogic5468d ago

really, Im 21, and everyone else I know is older than me likes COD so.

Phantasm5468d ago

I have a few friends that are cops, and they all play COD, and brag about it on facebook.

jrbeerman115468d ago

call of duty is a casual shooter

the wii of FPS

Everyone buys it because everyone buys it.

it insists on itself

and most of us are buying it

and we will all complain about wasting our money

and then next year comes....

and the definition of insanity is......

arjman5468d ago (Edited 5468d ago )

It's like they assume that changing the story and adding more explosions will fool people into 'giving it another shot' and the sad truth is, they will buy it again, again and again...

beast242tru5468d ago

you are first to comment on everything but hav onli 1 bubble i know i hav onli two but i dnt write as much as you muahahaha

AEtherbane5468d ago

Look like classic call of duty, for better or worse.
The one thing i've never liked about any of the modern warfare games was the level of destruction. You know, cities getting leveled, buildings getting blown up. That just doesn't happen anymore, the weapon systems that every nation is developing today are make sure things like that don't happen.
Minimize collateral, only destroy the objects the pose a threat.

fatalred alarm5468d ago

This only appeals to people because it shows sequences that we could only "dream" off in real life.

While bf3 chooses to stay close to reality, this is another thing in a whole and those epic setpieces draw crowds.

Now i'm not defending mw3, bf3->mw3 anyday

Ive played CoD since its release. The last couple of iterations are just rinse and repeat. And after the way activision did IW in, no respect, no money from me.

TabLock5468d ago

AWWWWWWEEEEEEESOOOOMMMMMMMMMMM MMEEEEEEEEEEEE

Headquarters115468d ago

YAWWWWWNNNN damn M$ press conference is so boring with all the multiplats they're showing lmao.

MW3 looks like more of the same. Did anyone see them add anything new apart from the setting? lol

antz11045468d ago

So games are boring just b/c they're multiplats? Nice try.. /s

I think it looked pretty good, especially the Harbor chase.

MidnytRain5468d ago

The complaint is that they showed nothing different other than the setting. Slow-mo breaches and a boat chase were in MW2 two years ago. The thing that keeps CoD ticking is the big, explosive set pieces and not much else.

Klaykid1235468d ago

Harbor chase = Ending of MW2.
Sub base = COD4
Slo-mo breach = MW2 and many events like that in multiple CODS.
Helicopter scene = MANY CoDs..

Really, none of the video really looked THAT great. When you shoot the guy and McIn examines him, that is scripted, the guy will ALWAYS die in that position. The objective was to launch the rockets, and it did that on it's own, The water making you bounce is all scripted.

Really, I don't know why I keep buying CoD.

Klaykid1235468d ago

OMG. Also, in the beginning, the sub boat passes by and you have to wait for a minute until it passes by, COD4 anyone??

Modern Warfare 3 flooded with cheaters after arrival on Xbox Game Pass

Players are using hacks to gain an advantage in the game, such as aimbots and wall hacks. The first gives a player superhuman aiming abilities, while a wall hack lets you see through walls to gauge where other players are.

Jin_Sakai665d ago (Edited 665d ago )

“These hacks are typically used by PC players, but those playing on PC via Xbox Game Pass are identified as Xbox players in multiplayer lobbies.”

This is pretty dumb to say the least.

Cacabunga664d ago

All about them headshots for Xbox

badz149664d ago

Gotta pump those numbers up

blackblades664d ago

That's a WTF, they suppose to be labeled as pc users even if its on PC game pass. They mess that up big time.

XiNatsuDragnel665d ago

Oh bad this will be entertaining to watch

ZycoFox664d ago

If AI keeps getting better (and it will) it's just a matter of time before there's more sophisticated cheats even for consoles, and they wouldn't even need to be running on it, I have little doubt about that.

lelo2play665d ago

Don't Gamepass online games have anti-cheat systems?
If not, that's pretty dumb. Microsoft need to fix that asap.

Rynxie664d ago (Edited 664d ago )

They won't ever fix this problem, unless they (developers, publishers, Sony and MS) go after the cheat providers directly. You no longer need to hack consoles to use hacks. During the ps360 days, they were going after cheat devices, but it was a cat and mouse game. These cheating methods were around during those days, it's nothing new, but they kept it under control. Since the PS4/Xbox one generation, they stopped going after these cheating devices and it became widespread. Which I find odd, since they started charging for online play (PS4).

StormSnooper664d ago (Edited 664d ago )

Possibly, this is because the companies were going after cheats because the same cheats were being used to pirate the games, whereas today, the companies use online verification to prevent piracy, thus eliminating the need to go after people who cheat only to gain an advantage in the game. As long as the cheater remains below the radar, and does not completely break the game, the companies look the other way as their wallets are not threatened by it. (that is my completely Uneducated opinion on the matter)

pwnmaster3000664d ago

I mean, COD games was always filled with hackers, nothing new. I can’t blame MS on this. Activision had years to try and fix this. Might take MS some time to make some change.

Rude-ro664d ago

It all depends…
Microsoft’s guidance on how to handle gamepass on pc and their love to force crossplay with pc seems like a them issue.
And they own activision, so it is still a them issue.

StormSnooper664d ago

lol well that sucks.

Is there a reason this happened upon arrival on xbox?

Activision Reportedly Sold An AI-Generated Skin In Call Of Duty

The Yokai's Wrath bundle was released despite previous guarantees by Activision that A.I. would not be used for final assets, per the report. Instead, Activision assured developers it was simply for internal concepts. That, of course, was not followed through. For what it's worth, per the PlayStation Store, 2,400 COD Points cost $19.99, meaning players potentially spent real-life money on a skin that was not created by an actual human.

As far as A.I. use goes across Activision, a source told Wired that 2D artists are utilizing A.I. to aid their work. That is a result of mass layoffs, in which many 2D artists were impacted. “A lot of 2D artists were laid off,” the source named Noah said. “Remaining concept artists were then forced to use A.I. to aid in their work.” Mandatory A.I. trainings have been implemented, according to Noah.

just_looken667d ago

It is not ubisoft has a ai tool for crating stories/script's they even talked about npc's having there own ai speech like we see with those skyrim mods.

Ai is the future sadly which sucks in so many way's.

S2Killinit667d ago (Edited 667d ago )

Activision. And MS. They will ruin console gaming forever.

Oh and where the FRIGGIN outrage people? When Sony makes a remaster of a masterpiece single player story driven game, they get roasted. But this, this, goes unnoticed? Then don’t complain that you aren’t getting enough single player story games.

@S2Killinit

You never mentioned skins in your comment just stated its all microsoft's fault like so many others.

When like i showed they are late to the ball game as every other company is using or plans to use ai in various field.

If you combine everything then its getting closer to hitting a button and poof out comes a game no soul no passion nothing.

Right now its art/3d models/skins/writing/voice work some and coding can all be done via ai.

S2Killinit667d ago (Edited 667d ago )

That was the whole point of my comment, I wrote it in response to the article. Instead of focusing on making exciting games and developing talented developers, they are busy making AI generated skins that people are buying for huge sums of money. Then, some people turn around and shit on Sony when it tries to capitalize on single player classics by making remasters, and the same people then complain that they want more single player games. MS cannabalized the industry because they never thought making games was essential to their business. So, instead of nurturing theor own studios, they let them die, then went and shrunk the industry, hurting interests of every gamer in the world. Anytime there is a bad trend in the industry, MS is at the helm, leading the way. That is what I’m saying.

smashman98667d ago

I'm sorry but do you honestly believe Sony will sit out of A.I. Every executive at every one of these publishers is wetting themselves in delight at the prospect of A.I. You best believe that once we start seeing it spread throughout the industry Sony won't be too far behind. The only people we'll have to blame are the consumers themselves.

S2Killinit666d ago (Edited 666d ago )

No, I don't believe that Sony will not do the same. But, as I mentioned, MS is always the first to embrace such things and create the worst trends. Once they establish that this is the best way to make money, everyone else will follow. (Have to follow if they want to stay competitive)

thesoftware730666d ago

S2, and blackblades:

All from the Horse's mouth below.

"Artificial intelligence (AI) in video games is crucial for Gen Z and Gen Alpha, who seek “personalization across everything,” says PlayStation executive Asad Qizilbash."

“Advancements in AI will create more personalized experiences and meaningful stories for consumers.”

"He emphasized that AI could enable non-player characters to interact with players based on their actions, enhancing the personal connection within the game."

Yeah, Just MS and Activision...smh

S2Killinit666d ago

I’ve already explained myself twice. Quit your false equivalence, same thing the xbox fateful pulled before and after the ABK acquisitions. Which by the way, blew up in your faces real good. Now, doing the same thing when someone brings up MS’s nefarious behavior, defend them to the end, and watch them scorch gaming as they have been. At least rest of us can take consolation in that the smoke will go in your eyes before anyone else’s.

thesoftware730666d ago (Edited 666d ago )

"Quit your false equivalence, same thing the xbox fateful pulled before and after the ABK acquisitions. Which by the way, blew up in your faces real good."

I'm not sure what you are talking about, you seem to have a issue communicating, because we are on a post about using AI to create video games content, and you put that solely at the feet of MS and Activision, when it's being, and will be used industry wide, right from Sony mouth, I would say it's relevant...then you went on to give Sony a spit shine slob down about a masterpiece TLoU when this had absolutely nothing to do with Sony or TLoU, then you attempted to clean up your rambling spit shine with no real backing for a ridiculous comment.

Obviously you meant to post that nonsensical over exaggerated comment. I also don't know what blew up in people faces, I am perfectly fine with the game industry, I don't have time to be internet outraged about nothingness.

Really read your comment and listen to what you said.

"Activision. And MS. They will ruin console gaming forever."

Bro, for real? Really? Seriously? It's that serious? So there is nothing Sony and Nintendo can do against MS and Activision? MS is 3rd place with you even talking about?

If we stay relevant on MTX, then you still sound ridiculous because again, you lay it all at MS and Activision's feet when almost all companies have used some form of MTX, including yup... Sony.

S2Killinit662d ago

I read this comment, it boiled down to “seeiously?”.

My answer: yes seriously. Since you didn’t say anything else, what else can I tell you? Yes MS is seriously ruining gaming. They have been for some time, and working their way to where we are today, and aren’t even done yet. MS are the worst thing to happen to console gaming.

"The Yokai's Wrath bundle was released despite previous guarantees by Activision that A.I. would not be used for final assets, per the report."

We're talking concept art? Because as of right now there's no way to generate a final 3D model with final textures. So the final assets don't use AI. That's not to say that it sucks for 2D artist that it's easier to generate visual ideas and build from them leading to less 2D artists needed (really sucks), but are they say the final concept art was completely AI generated and then 3D artists built from that? And yes, I'll pile on that Activision as a publisher and their developers I have experience with suck and they'll do whatever, ethics be damned.
