"I'm Not Buying The Next COD," Oh But You Will

TitanReviews writes: You hear it everywhere with each iteration, "I'm not buying the same game again!" Really? I mean c'mon...

[X_GAMER_X]

I Will. My money, my choice, My taste.

[jony_dols]

I won't either. But I know people who said that they wouldn't buy Black Ops after MW2. And come end of November last year, most of them had got it.....

Edit: By you saying 'I will', do you mean, I will not be buying it?
I'm confused!

[Pixelated_Army]

@OT

Oh but I wont.

[LOGICWINS]

I don't understand why these dumbass journalists make it seem like its IMPOSSIBLE to not buy COD games every year. Dude..I've never purchased, borrowed, or rented a COD game in my life lol!

[blumatt]

I'm one of those people who say that I won't and I REALLY WON'T. lol I'm not wasting my money on that same re-hashed crap year after year. Call of Duty needs innovation (and destructibility haha).

Battlefield BC2 is a better game hands down. And after that, I'd choose Killzone 3. And after that Resistance 2 (and 3). And many more games over Call of Duty.

After Call of Duty 4, the games have went downhill. I used to love CoD4 and I even still have my copy that I play from time to time, but I WILL NOT buy another CoD game until they do something new and exciting, as well as update their aging graphics engine.

MY holiday gaming will consist mostly of Battlefield 3, Uncharted 3, and Resistance 3. (My next couple months of gaming will consist of InFamous 2 and Twisted Metal, and possibly Motorstorm: Apocalypse.)

[Washington-Capitals]

Any action/shooter fan who hasnt played Call of Duty 4 shouldnt call themselves gamers.

[BISHOP-BRASIL]

I said no more right after playing some COD4 (crap support, lame and overpriced map pack, too much crap on the gameplay) and never came back. But I definetelly know some people that did said it and still play every COD that Actibastards launch.

@LOGICWINGS

I don't like this "impossible to resist" journalists spit too, but I can see where they are coming from, lots of people say it every CoD and the damn thing just sell more each itteration. I guess some people DO like being raped. LOL

[Gam3s4lif3]

i only got black ops because of zombies... but now the 4 player splitscreen glich doesnt work that well anymore so i sold it.
:P

WAITING FOR BATTLEFIELD 3 WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOTTTTTT

[X_GAMER_X]

No, I mean I will Buy it :D

[Lykon]

errrr no way . too many original inventive good games to play

[Ricco-Warrior]

I Will Waste My Money on My Choice of the next COD if they have a collectors edition of My taste. there fixed

[tmoss726]

I'll probably end up renting it because I want to know the conclusion to the story, but I'm sure BF3 will have the better multiplayer.

[Hockeydud19]

Unless its the prequel everyone rumoring about. Story wise not multiplayer"

[tmoss726]

It better not be :\

[Solidus187-SCMilk]

how does he know "all these people" saying they wont Buy the next COD did or not? Did he personally go and check? I guess he just assumes that alot of these people still did. Im sure some did but im sure a shit load of people who say they wont didnt but it.

personaly, I never said I wouldnt buy it, but I havent bought it since COD4.

I just kinda doubt this guy knows if these people hes refering to bought it or not.

IMO, Cod games are still better then alot of crap out there, popular or not.

[Solidus187-SCMilk]

everyone I know IRL who buys COD every year never said they wouldnt. In fact, all of them say that they will buy it when I ask them.

Im not saying that people dont buy it after saying they wont. I just dont think this guy kept track of each person who said they wouldnt, and then checked to see if each one bought it. If he did he might find some that didnt buy it maybe.

I think there are people who say they wont buy it and dont. Only thing is each year when COD looses 1 customer, they gain 3 new ones.

[ATiElite]

Call of Duty = awesome PC FPS, The Benchmark for Online shooters....Classic!

Call of Duty 2 = raised the bar and expanded to the 360, even without vehicles it gave Battlefield a run for it's money....Classic

Call of Duty 3 = No PC version, made by Treyarch, and let the consolization begin.

Call of Duty: World at War = returns to the PC and tries to bring back that old magic...I didn't like it but many people did. Once again a not so good Treyarch title.

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare = after being stomped by Battlefield 2, COD enters the Modern age and produces an awesome title....Classic

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 = No dedicated PC servers so NO purchase, as arcade a game as you can get plus it was broken. Lag fest on the consoles as well.

Call of Duty: Black Ops = more MW1 DLC and really no reason to buy this for $60 especially with all the bugs. a much better effort by Treyarch but still a shade of what COD use to be.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 = for the third time in a row i will pass on what use to be the benchmark of shooters. The series has went from requiring skill and strategy to every casual gamer on the planet saying "i will PWN you in COD".

Hopefully Call of Duty will go back to it's roots but either way it's still one of the greatest series in gaming history.

[Motorola]

AlterIWnet is pretty damn good though. And its, you know, free.

[solar]

BLOPS is my first CoD title i actually played, and it is fun, but nothing i'd buy another iteration of.

[Zydake]

LMAO @ your disagrees.

[BeastlyRig]

so you like buggy $60 rehashes? O_o

[Legion]

I didn't buy Black Ops due to all the issues... so doubt I will purchase the next if they don't fix the issues.

[Solid_Snake-]

i have said it every year since cod4 that i wont buy another cod but have ended up in the que at midnight for all of them lol.

its just one of them games you need to see if they have made a good one. i always end up disappointed lol.

love the title though. its so true

[Moragami]

Not this kid. The CoD games are too short on content and too high on price for my liking. Now they offer buggy PC multiplayer and nothing innovative from CoD4. I own CoD4, but haven't bought a CoD game since.

Battlefield series is better, smarter, more innovative, and much more fun.

100% guaranteed to not buy the next CoD.

[Dart89]

Oh but i won't bf3,skyrim,and uncharted 3 will occupy my holiday gaming needs.

[thorstein]

Indeed. BF3 is looking phenomenal.

[Focker420]

Ya if BF3 comes out when MW3 does then I'm definitely getting BF3 first. As well as UC3.

[NYC_Gamer]

i really have no problem with people buying what ever they like

[Hitman0769]

Agree and this title was so true and funny still.

[HK6]

Only disagreed because I care what people buy if it means that it allows a big company to get through several iterations of a series with no innovation or improvements.

[ERMAC_]

They'll still buy it because they apparently don't care enough, so be it. He's right though, you shouldn't care just don't buy it and support devs you like by speaking with your wallet.

[MGRogue2017]

I won't lie, I find Call of Duty to be lots of fun.. So therefore, I will buy more of it.

It helps that there are quite a few differences between each one in the series as well, which is nice.

Also, I will be buying Battlefield 3.. of course.

[capjacksparrow]

I said the same thing last year and ended up buying Black Ops. This year I'm actually not buying it. I don't have too much money and I've barely been buying a game per month. I do plan on purchasing Elder Scrolls 5 and Uncharted 3, those games come first! Also, Resistance 3 and Killzone 3 will keep me busy in terms of FPS.

[2fk]

well November will be a busy month....Uncharted 3, BF3, MW3?, Assassins 3?, Skyrim etc...... i most likely wont unless MW3 get a 10.0 rating

[Ruggadagod]

need some more action adventure games.

[CrimsonEngage]

I like how the article says that i will when i won't. Why? Because i'm going to be playing BATTLEFIELD 3. Call of Duty is the same game every year with slight improvements to graphics and a few new weapon skins. Polish a turd, it's still a turd.

[Simon_Brezhnev]

Well i never played COD series so i know im not getting it.

[fooxy]

This year is BF3 for me after cod4 i managed to play every cod title for less than 2 months and then i sold it, crap is crap u cant make it smell nice

[NarooN]

"Oh but you will"

Oh, but I friggin' won't.

[HellzAssassin]

Neither will I. Black Ops has yet to enter my collection, nor will it ever. And same goes with MW3 or any of the next CoD's. I'm done with it. MW2 was terrible anyways...

[NarooN]

I agree wholeheartedly. MW2 was terrible, Black Ops were. MW2 seemed okay, but the MP was broken and unbalanced to hell. They can keep their bullshit.

[CrimsonEngage]

Ok i lied earlier. I'll buy the new COD. When it's in the bargain bin for $5... lol

[Hockeydud19]

Just a heads up. The title refers to people saying they won't buy Call of Duty but end up buying it anyways. Just a FYI

[B00M]

Never bought Black Ops.

[rezzah]

I won't.

But my bros will.

And I'll still end up playing it solely for the SP.

[ZILLA]

plus there using the same engine again,what a joke.theres a storm on the horizion,its called...BATTLEFIELD 3.

[PPTouch]

I said that about Black Ops but I bought that anyway... I won't make the same mistake again. ;)

[Oldman100]

There's too many awesome and different games coming out this year. I'd rather spend my money on those than another rehash I've experienced time and time again.

[Run_bare]

I actually will buy Modern Warfare 3, I am waiting to be surprise, if I am not, I can only trade them in.

[benighted death]

Mark my word... I wont buy this crap again,ever!.....fool me once,shame on you..fool me twice,shame on me!! Bye Bye activision

[-IronMan-]

Not buying this crap! I am going to buy BF3, Uncharted3, Twisted Metal etc..

[spektical]

Oh i wont, especially with bf3 releasing around the same time.

[m23]

I skipped Black Ops, probably the next one too since I might not have enough money lol. I have to buy Gears 3, Mass Effect 3, Skyrim, Forza 4, Ghost Recon Future Soldier and who knows what else gets announced at e3.

[shammgod]

COD is for children and clowns

[saoco]

there's a lot of weak sauce articles this generation, and most of these "journalist" seeme to just whine instead of giving unbiased professional opinions. personal opinions? keep those on facebook.

it just seemes like all are just trying to get the reader on their side. who are you to tell me what or what not to buy. of course he is not literally saying that. personally if you are a real game journalist YOU WILL BUY COD, you will buy every game it's your job.

[Hockeydud19]

That's not what the titles referring to. It's say to all those people who rag on Call of Duty and then buy it anyways. It's not saying Oh but YOU will. It's directing it to the people who love COD say they won't buy the next one and then buy it anyway.

[cyclonus007]

Aftef the Infinity Ward blowup, I lost my respect for Activision last year but bought Black Ops reluctantly. Was disgusted with it inside a week. Sold it online and used the money for AC:B. And with Uncharted 3, Battlefield 3, and rumors of Assassin's Creed 3 coming this year? Please. Call of what?

[ionlyneedonebubble]

I use to hate CoD because CoD4 stole a lot of people who played Resistance: Fall of Man. Which was my favorite game at the time. Yea the giant that is CoD ruined my favorite game everrrrrrr. But anyways I did however purchase MW2 and fell in love with that game. So from here on out I will buy any CoD that has Modern Warfare in its title. If 3arc makes another CoD I will first ask WHY????, then I will hope its only for XBOX, because Black Ops was complete trash on the PS3.

[gamecock]

not me either,games really to full of cheaters.they can keep it.rather watch paint dry.lol

[TXIDarkAvenger]

The only reason I buy CoD is because I want to play with friends....but this year is different, were all tired of CoD and moving on to BF3.

[WowReally]

I'll buy both but I bet I end up playing MW3 more.

[arjman]

Worse than drugs

[Shackdaddy836]

Didn't buy black ops. Won't buy the next one. Will save 60 bucks.

[ClimateKaren]

I rented COD4 from Gamefly, liked it, bought it. Didn't play WAW, rented and quickly returned MW2, and ignored Black Ops altogether.

Believe me, I won't be buying the next COD game.

[bryt]

I already didn't.

[bryt]

I already put a reservation on not buying it. That goes for all activision games, actually. Everything after COD4.

[beavis4play]

i'm hoping treyarch develops their zombie mode into a full retail game with story and SP as well as deep team play mode.

i'll never pay full price for a CoD game. i'll only pay 30 dollars at most......and ONLY if it's going to have zombies - i never play the regular part of CoD. i don't like it.

[Zephyrus34]

I'll waste my money on this game definatley because I heard IW is in on it again. <3 IW

[CoD511]

I will buy the next CoD game. But I won't buy the next Treyarch CoD game, honestly :p Got so much more fun and hours out of MW2.

[GrumpyVeteran]

If the next COD gives me a BJ while getting me my favourite beverage, I'll buy it.

[outwar6010]

i wont buy modern warfare titles until they use a new god damn engine!!!!! butother cods i might but will prob buy them for my 360 as their ps3 "counterparts" are pure shit

[Wuu]

It's sad, i really don't want to buy it. I don't even buy DLC this time, but i can get any COD for PC day one for only 25$, so it's pretty good deal anyway.

[BlitzAK]

CoD on the Frostbite engine would look awesome. :D Other than that, sorry BF3, ill go for CoD first, since im no fan of realistic combat similators, and CoD is faster paced.

Not saying BF is rubbish or worse, BFBC2 was epic!

[jay2]

No I won't, the last COD I brought was COD 3, which was for my dad, and as far is I know is the last one I've played.

[SixShotCop]

I'll most likely pick up both COD and Battlefield 3. The Escalation map pack is what matters the most at the moment. Can't freaking wait!!

[Jacobite]

I ve enjoyed most COD games on PC. My favs being COD,CODUO & MW, the others COD2 & CODWAW I thought were fine, then I bought MW2 what a let down my fears realised. Swore I would never buy another COD game, what did I go and do I bought CODBO not a bad game in anyway but nothing great nothing new PC version very buggy (no excuses)this time no more honest lol, its been all downhill since MW (COD4)for the PC versions anyway.

[therapist]

people keep talking about updating the graphics of call of duty, .... You do know the game already runs in sub-hd 1024x600 on consoles right, what else could they do, add more textures and drop the resolution down to wii levels of 800x480???

Seriously,almost all console shooters look the same, low-res, muddy textures and tons of jaggies.

Now when talking about the pc version, of course it will look better, but i don't think it will touch BF3 on pc.

Let's be honest, there won't be a game this year that even comes anywhere near BF3 on pc!

[Klaykid123]

I will not be buying the next COD. My brother might.. And I might play it, but I wont buy it.

[Michael-Jackson]

I rather go fishing...

[JMyers]

My Last COD was MW2. No more. More of the same... broken and imbalanced online, glitches, mediocre campaign, plus the Game and DLC is sold at a higher unjustified price for what is on offer. There is no innovation, no dedicated servers, and they all look and play the same. In my opinion of course. The last good game was really COD 4:MW.

Activision will run this franchise into the ground eventually

[Chocoboh]

I haven't bought any CoD games past Call of Duty: Modern Warefare(CoD4.) Nor will I be buying any games past CoD4 but games I have always bought and will continue buying is from the developer DICE which makes the Battlefield series which I have loved for as long as I can remember. I played a Wolfenstein mod back in the day that blew the shit outta CoD haha.

[mt]

i won't buy it until i see something new in the game. i mean i want to buy it but if it is same maps with new guns and perks same shitty online bad connection then no.

[AngelicIceDiamond]

Thats right show'em wassup man.

[boup7]

I bought MW and MW2 . Done with CoD now !

[AngelicIceDiamond]

lol u promise

[AngelicIceDiamond]

Its inevitable as soon as it drops midnight release you will only see 10 friends online then in the next hour or two you see 20 30 40 ppl online at once,and when you wanna play something with your friends no one joins you(Of cousrse too busy playin cod). Then u get massive amounts of invites from you're friends online and you wanna be left alone. Only to go on the computer and see tons and tons of reviews about COD. The next day you're poppin in your copy of cod joining you're friends(true Story). Its namebrand game its literally branded in ppls heads. in order to play with you friends you have to get the new cod when it gets released.
