Author Writes "For the first time Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 doesn't include a single player campaign, but the game certainly doesn't suffer for it."
A cancelled Call of Duty game titled "NX1" had footage surface online, along with a Black Ops 4 unreleased mode called "War."
That Neversoft logo took me back to Tony Hawk days. Sad to see this cancellation led to the studio closure.
It’s always sad to see great concepts destroyed so deep into development. They obviously had a lot of ideas and aren’t happy about it. Now withe layoffs even more videos like this will surface soon.
Details of the cancelled campaign from Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 – the only game in the franchise without a dedicated single-player mode – have been leaked after four years.
This week's Deals with Gold selection on Xbox has rubbed certain Xbox fans the wrong way, as several Call of Duty titles are still ludicrously priced - despite being discounted by up to 67% off over the next few days.
How is 20 dollars for X360 call of duty games "ludicrously" overpriced?
And with Activision's lawer bills skyrocketing at the moment you are not going to be seeing deep discounts for a bit.
Pretty sure that's the sale off that's 60% off. After the sale ends that 360 game is still listed at $49.99, right not its $19.99 because the 60% off.
It's nice to see the Xbox community stand up for themselves though. That's been needed for a long time.
Lawsuits don’t cost billions, they’re ALWAYS going to be fine for money.
They could stack their bills on the ground and fill half the continent of Africa at this point.
Because Xbox fans are so used to playing games on the Xbox EBT subscription service, the idea of paying anything for a game seems ludicrous to them.
You pay for the service.
Do you have Amazon Video?
Hulu?
Netflix?
It's a subscription service. Not a charity. You're literally going at people over the idea of using a pro consumer service, and that's the real joke here.
When records were sold, they were eventually replaced by tapes, which cost less to manufacture, but more to buy. Then CDs came along and were cheaper to manufacture, but cost more at retail. Digital, of course, is the cheapest yet, but billion dollar corporations want to charge the same.
And no, that money is not going to the person sitting in the chair actually making the game.
It is pure and utter greed from people who don't need any more money.
"Many have also noted how the multiplayer in several of these titles is either dead or filled with hackers, meaning players are paying a hefty sum for a short campaign and potentially some zombie modes."
With these clear truths the decades older COD games should be permanently 19.99 regular price and sale prices 7.99 minimum
Typo sale prices 2.99 minimum and 9.99 maximum. Older COD tiles seven years old or older should never be over 20 dollars regular price
I have paid less than 3 dollars for some AAA PS4 games, old 360 CoD games should not be $20
Any fps game runs by the quirk engine follows this logic
Eat
Sleep
Die instantly
Repeat
As if the main purpose of the game more of "repeat" than the actual gameplay experience , any noob in this game will tell you his mind stucked in repeating the sequence number of deaths than the gameplay itself , what a complete pile of #.
It's why I don't play cod anymore, my 45yr old hands can't compete with these kids 😂 🤣
1 kill to every 10 deaths is not fun
Don't let that stop you if you enjoy the game, it's actually pretty good for hand/eye coordination.
Try Escape from Tarkov. It forces you to slow down and think. I’m not a fan of the ADD speed of CoD
All the back compat titles are cheap listing when you scroll through them u till you come to black ops it's a complete rip off
Well... Don't buy it..... Is it really that hard to comprehend?
Everything else you choose to purchase with your hard earned cash , so should games be held to the same reasoning....
Just don't give em the cash....
Entitlement that's bizarre, from the publisher and from the consumer.... Thats pretty fkd up if you think about it...
Bananas now cost $30 a pound. There's no good reason for it, but if you want bananas, there you go.
You don't have to buy them.
It's about their constant greed when handling the franchise. Nobody has to buy anything, but when a company doesn't follow corporate norms when selling their product; overpricing their old wares just because they can, the consumer is allowed to call that out.
Consumer can call them out, but I think they are going about it the wrong way.
The reason they get away with everything they do is simply because they can. They can charge $20 for a skin pack because people will gladly buy it. There is plenty of competition for FPS games, it's not like it's a niche market.
I know it's easier to blame and demand better from Activision than people that keep buying these overpriced items. If they weren't being bought, Activision would lower the price though. People like to pretend to take the high road but wouldn't you rather sell the banana for $30 than $3 if people are willing to buy it?
@therealtedcruz
I think there’s a virus destroying the banana and may even go extinct. So maybe that’s why.
I think it’s happen before too.
A small subset buys those skins and whatnot. Most players don't. The "whale" mindset is pretty accurate across the board, where there's a small handful who buy a lot, and most who don't buy any. Either way, that means they're imposed on the majority either way.
That's different from overpricing your game though. Activision easily makes their money off every release, then milks it until the next release, then throws it away. They never put significant sales on even a release from several cycles ago. Whether it sells or not.
And I mean, yeah; if I were a business, I'd probably want to make as much money as possible.
But I'm not a business; I'm a consumer, thus I find many businesses to be complete assholes.
And people are still blaming the high prices but suggest they're still wiling to buy it... Not too smart are you peoples....
Its a non regulated pricing structure, sure , many play by the status-quo , but to actually complain by complaining, instead of standing your ground and not buying it, by buying it , you are the reason its happening....
Idiots, Idiots everywhere.... What? So those that are complaining don't want to pay the money, but cant do without it?
FFS. Entitlement level 5000...
Drink some cement and harden the Fk up!
The article and title isn't saying that people are buying it, its simply saying that they are calling them out for greed. I guess you had a problem with people calling out Microsoft for trying to increase the price of Live, and don't understand how voicing concern led to them backing away from the decision.
People need to put that energy into Nintendo's Pricing over Activisions tbh. They're focused on the wrong things
Greed? Ok... Dont buy it and prove that by being greedy , they got it wrong... Not that hard to understand is it?
To Add... I haven't bought Cod since MW2.... Because of these exact practices.... Fact.
Less content is great s/
Don't mind no single player but the price needs to be adjusted...
I’d still prefer a single player mode
Nothing you say can convince me otherwise
Of course it is! Could you imagine how much better COD 4 would have been if it had scrapped the campaign?! They totally ruined that game by including a single player campaign. Games like this should cater only to the multiplayer demographic. Especially if it means less work for them. Money is the most important thing anyway, and as they predicted, everyone would eat this game up regardless of whether they included a single player campaign. I suppose I am happy for them. Just a little background for everyone who emboldened the developers to continue this practice, this game was originally going to have a single player mode. They were working on both a battle royal mode and the campaign. They decided they couldn't finish the campaign in time and so they scrapped it completely. Every previous COD game in recent history has included multiplayer content. It has always been in addition to the core game. They scrapped the core game, threw together some extremely half assed battle royal map made entirely from old recycled multiplayer maps, and sold to the public what would normally have been bonus content to the core game, but for full price. That is exactly what happened. And they knew they could do this and still sell well. The gaming media played their role by making it seem like this was some bold and logical decision. It wasn't. It was a matter of them not being able to finish what they started and selling it with a core complement of the game being discarded as a result. You all want single player campaign games to disappear? Great. Bioshock, halo, half life, MW4...lets just forget any single player games and only cater to multiplayer. I may have supported this game if I didn't know the backstory to what unfolded behind the scenes. But I'm not supporting what they did here. Don't act like this was done to be bold or fresh. It wasn't.
