Activision, IT’S YOUR FAULT!

The time is getting near for the release of Modern Warfare 3. People seem disappointed yet again! I don’t blame Infinity Ward or Treyarch and soon to join the hated list, Sledghammer Games. I Blame Activision! Tactic Zone rant!

I feel this should be in the user-blog section. Another opinion piece.

Sorry tacticzone.biz.nf@blogspot.com , there is no hate list for the developers you mentioned. Settle down already!

Unfortunately the author's words will fall on deaf ears of the 9-13 year old boys who are just hyped into buying the game every year.

REALgamer5394d ago (Edited 5394d ago )

This is not news in any way, and is just a pointless rant.

But still, why are so many people willing to pass judgement on games they have not even played? Reminds me of the ridiculous Left 4 Dead 2 'boycott'.

A final note: seriously, ending the article in 'Tactic OUT' is a bit juvenile.

gcolley5393d ago

because we know what to expect and the whole point of the ridicule in the first place... nothing changes. if your last few games have not evolved one bit, gamers will expect the same again, it is just human nature. plus they belong to the military FPS genre, which is over saturated with boring games.

you flat out cannot re-release the same crap over and over again and expect to get away with it. CoD was never that interesting in the first place.

lastdual5394d ago (Edited 5394d ago )

Most of the people who "seem disappointed" are going to buy the game anyway. Those who are genuinely uninterested stopped caring a while back.

If you don't like yearly COD titles, just move on and buy something else. Lord knows there's no shortage of awesome games hitting this year. The fact that other people continue to buy and enjoy the series shouldn't really bother you.

NBT915394d ago

What are they even disappointed with? It looks the same as any other COD game, except unlike Black Ops it should actually be playable.

hazelamy5394d ago

i think you answered your own question there.

"It looks the same as any other COD game"

Lazy_Sunday5394d ago (Edited 5394d ago )

I feel like I'm buying $60 worth of DLC every year when I buy a CoD game--not to mention $45 of actual DLC. I know it's wrong, but if they updated the graphics, you'd come to realize that the game wouldn't play at 60FPS. I'm glad CoD has been playing inchies with it's graphics--that way I don't have framedrops and console freezes, and I can just play the damn game. I mean, I love BFBC2 for all it brings, but I like CoD for all the stuff it doesn't. I can tell you that next gen we'll see a new CoD game rock our worlds and look beautiful, but until then we're stuck with what our consoles can handle.
I mean, would you rather wait 5 years in between CoD titles so they can look as good as RaGE might look? I'm happy with what CoD's doing, so long as they make sure the game follows the same damn pace and improves upon it's shortcomings every year--especially what made them look cheap *cough cough* BLACK OPS *cough.*

gamingdroid5394d ago

Well said!

I don't understand all the hate? Displeased your favorite game isn't moving forward in the direction you would like, is understandable, but if you don't like it move on. There are other games.

It's like gamers have this pent up anger they have to point it at some company.

NatureOfLogic5394d ago

The best way to get rid of COD, is to no longer talk about it, let it die slowly.

NBT915394d ago

Why? Its a pretty fun game.

phantomexe5394d ago

Its a rant your right but what he said is true.

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

galgor132d ago

Can this mother fucker just get lost already

PRIMORDUS132d ago

He belongs in here ⚰️, hopefully sooner than later.

MrDead131d ago (Edited 131d 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

franwex183d 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.

Profchaos183d 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

dveio183d 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.

blacktiger182d ago

you need to stop saying "let see next year"
