Why is it, that even though I'm barely interested in this game, I still want to see the MP aspect? :/

The Meerkat5384d ago (Edited 5384d ago )

Its simple.

You're either a true gamer that is interested in seeing what everything has to offer.

or

You're a secret COD fan and you're in denial.

:-P

zeksta5384d ago

Honestly, I'm a gamer that doesn't really mind any game that's simply fun, easy to play or enjoyable :)

MaxXAttaxX5383d ago (Edited 5383d ago )

""Why is it, that even though I'm barely interested in this game, I still want to see the MP aspect?""

Because of the amount of hype and popularity surrounding these games. Curiosity is nothing out of the ordinary.
This has little to do with "being a true gamer" BS.

There are A LOT of secret Call of Duty fans. Because if the internet is to be believed, Black Ops should have tanked, not outsold Modern Warfare 2.

On topic; I'm excited. I'm always excited for new guns, perks, killstreaks, maps and the same tried and true, old formula! :D

DirtyLary5382d ago

Secret fans? You mean closet fans.

Pretty much everyone, but they wont ever admit it.

MaxXAttaxX5381d ago

Is that seriously what you COD fans think? That everyone secretly loves your game? LOL

Want to see mw3 before the (world premiere) go play mw2 same shit

Gazondaily5383d ago

So true zeksta. I really want to see the MP side of this too even though I'm more excited about BF3.

You never know; it could actually be good.

subtenko5382d ago

@ zeksta thats what I say about the Kinect. People are like wtf are you commenting if you hate kinect so much? Because Im still interested in when they will come out something that is stable and is cool. "Rise of Nightmares" is an example.

On the subject of COD, I too am interested in what they will show. Even though I hate COD I still have the right to form an opinion when I see this new footage that will release. I might even like it who knows.

Agree or Disagree if you Agree

My friend bought 2 tix and offered me to go but i passed.

Wow a disagree just cuz i turned this down??Lol people these days.

Edit:For those wondering why in turned it down it's cuz it's my Girlfriends b-day this weeken.

@Below true :P.

Cosmit5383d ago

Its just a disagree on N4G. Relax buddy.

Jack_DangerousIy5383d ago

AMEN!

Finally someone else gets it. I feel like I've been taking crazy pills.

:)

miDnIghtEr5383d ago

Who's ready for the Megaton? 32 players online! :)

KingDustero5383d ago

Lol why all the disagrees? A leaked screenshot of the 360 version did say 32 players for a gametype. Another showed the option to create a server.

Now it is possible that they're using dedicated servers, which can easily handle 32 player matches. If it is still PvP though it'll be unplayable.

I myself don't see it being 32 players on consoles, but it is easily possible if they're using dedicated servers.

Parasyte5383d ago

Thing is though, the community manager at Sledgehammer tweeted that those "leaked" screenshots were fakes. They were just really good fakes.

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_Sakai666d ago (Edited 666d 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.

Cacabunga665d ago

All about them headshots for Xbox

badz149665d ago

Gotta pump those numbers up

blackblades665d 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.

XiNatsuDragnel666d ago

Oh bad this will be entertaining to watch

ZycoFox665d 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.

lelo2play666d ago

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

Rynxie665d ago (Edited 665d 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).

StormSnooper665d ago (Edited 665d 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)

pwnmaster3000665d 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-ro665d 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.

StormSnooper665d 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.

I mean, is this even surprising?

just_looken668d 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.

S2Killinit668d ago (Edited 668d 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.

Ea and ubisoft also use ai

ea using ai for development threatening mass layoffs.

ubisoft ai for npc speech

Almost every big boy in the industry is using ai in some sort of way now

Oh and sony? well they are making spyware ai were they can see how long it took you to do X and adjust difficultly.

How is that a response to what I said? Are they also selling AI generated skins?

@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.

S2Killinit668d ago (Edited 668d 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.

smashman98668d 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.

S2Killinit667d ago (Edited 667d 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)

thesoftware730667d 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

S2Killinit667d 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.

thesoftware730667d ago (Edited 667d 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.

S2Killinit663d 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.

OldDuffer667d ago

Thats actually a very useful and informative piece, thank you.

just_looken667d ago

@OldDuffer

Your welcome though it seems it went over many users heads.

PapaBop668d ago

Wow I can just imagine the likes of Activision, EA and Ubi etc having an army of AIs creating overpriced crap and the fanboys just lapping it up. I hope the AIs have a good union.

montebristo668d ago

I understand why people think it’s good idea to Unionize to fight back against such things but it’s not. It’s a bad idea. It’s activisions wet dream to have these pumped out weekly by some AI. Protect your neck!
