Maybe each mission has multiple parts, like how each 'mission' in Perfect dark consisted of 1-3 levels. This articles listing of five missions contradicts another articles, as pointed out by Fox. However, a short campaign wouldn't surprise me, both BF3 and 4 had short single players.

Edit: If you ignore the epilogue and prologue from the leaked article (here:

There needs to be a firm explanation of the locust origins. The locust being descended from sires was contradicted in Gears of War 3.

No.

@trainsgofast I am a console gamer.

COD4 should have a digital upgrade option.

These upgraded consoles don't offer as much of an upgrade as they appear to. 4 and 6 teraflops isn't that much, there are already 8+ teraflop GPUs, which frequently struggle with 4k unless the graphics are turned down. Not to mention 4k 60FPS gaming on PC (when possible), usually requires the previously stated 8 + teraflops GPUs to be paired with high end i7 CPU clocked at 4GHz +. You also have to consider the diminishing returns of GPU power.

Ubisoft didn't false advertise the graphics this time......

The AAA game industry has been pushing itself towards bigger budgets and narrower profit margins per unit sold for years. Devs that used to focus on one platform, now have to develop for two sub platforms due to the Scorpio and Pro.

Games sometimes are launched in state of disrepair ,which generates money earlier but likely drops overall sales. Budgets are so big that microtransactions and DLC generate more profit than the actual game sales.

High speed internet allows for easy distribution of patches, this is unfortunate, as many companies will take "the release now, fix it later approach".

Fully agree, the mp is junk that was made to sell season passes and promote Wolfenstein The New Order pre-orders.

The singleplayer is amazing. Don't bother with the mp, it's held back by not sticking to the franchise's oldschool roots. The player count is also low.

This list is largely false, Destiny did not cost 500 million to make. The 500 million budget is for the franchise over 10 years. The article even states this for MW 2 , "Arguably one of the greatest CoD games ever developed, MW2 wasn’t shy to dish out $266m on its marketing campaign", the marketing campaign is not the development budget. I highly doubt MW2 development budget was anywhere near it's marketing budget.

There are several games that have developmen...

The games's mp at it's core is fine, however it's over-design. Adding downs and "helper" bots was completing unnecessary. The loadouts, sidekicks, lack of on map weapons and mystics are there to compress skill gap.

Star Wars Battlefront lol, assuming the writer is referencing to the 2016 version.

YinYangGaming - "I'm not going to be giving this site the click that they clearly so desperately need."

How is that above comment inappropriate ? It's well known that sites will give low scores, to exclusives and well reviewed games to cause controversy and get extra clicks.

I really wish they could unlock the framerates of some of the older games. Some of the backwards compatible titles that are GPU bound maybe able to hit 60fps on the XB1.

I haven't been into split screen gaming since the 6th gen of consoles. I have fond memories of splitscreen, but in reality a lot of split screen games ran like crap.

I don't think that was RAAM,likely a Scion, which I think are locust.

It better to "play it safe" than add the junk and gimmicks that many other games use to bloat and casualify their MPs.

Why wouldn't the maps for a nearly 10 year old game be free? However, you never know with Activison....
