I have been a huge fan of COD, Counter Strike, Battlefield, and Halo for quite sometime. I started playing COD when United Offense came out for the PC, I started playing Counter Strike right after 1.6 was released, and I’ve been playing Battlefield since 1942 was in it’s brightest days. All of these games have something in common, they’ve all evolved into something entirely original and new…oh wait COD didn’t.
Chance Glasco, one of the co-founders of Infinity Ward and creators of the Call of Duty franchise, has claimed that Activision once pressured the studio to include an invasion of Israel by Iran.
Former CEO describes lawsuit filed by Swedish pension fund as a "collateral attack" on Activision Blizzard.
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.
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."
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.
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
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.
From your blogs calling yourself a COD fan might be a stretch.
OT: Yep its a new game. you only focused on half the game. The single player has a brand new storyline. The multiplayer is adding to what there fans like. Why mess up a formula that is working for the fans. MW2 went a bit too far and they realised that. To question it as a new game is silly.
This is a quote I read from an interesting article.
"For a video game sequel to truly be considered as such, it needs to expand the franchise both in terms of content, narrative (like movie sequels do), but most importantly it has to be technically superior to its predecessor."
Personally, I'm not sure if MW2 jumps the line from being a expansion pack to a full packed game.
Now discuss.
I don't like COD but I have to admit, IW is bringing some cool additions to the game and this may be the best COD since MW1 if they don't horribly mess it up like MW2.
no not really. if anything this is an expansion pack.
By looking at the character models, animations, maps, etc. you can quickly see that it's the same thing with a different candy wrapper.
lets be honest the campaign is going to be a horrible mess much like every other COD (tik-tacked together). The multiplayer will be addictive.
MW3 will be the cause of the most controllers sent to the landfill.
Yeah i agree with him.
