Ah yes, looks like we're set to see EA and Activision's spending go crazy over the next few months.

Solid_Snake-4655d ago

i would email them and ask if they would like to put massive poster over the front of my house but they would probably refuse.

Heartnet4655d ago

Tbh why do they even need to advertise.. anyone who is anyone has heard of Call of Duty :)

subtenko4655d ago

*Gets popcorn*

gonna eat this popcorn MJ at the movies style (youtube it if you havent seen the clip)

it'd be funny if EA took all the ad spots Activision was gonna use, LOL!! "wtf guys thats our spot!! >:("

Agree or Disagree if you Agree

hiredhelp4655d ago

what was it 50million on advertisments. yeh well i hope EA does well they deserve it. its not like the game was rushed out. not to mention working on a complete engine that takes alot time too.
ive enjoyed the pre alpha still am enjoying it. not great at it lol ill edmit i get more deaths then kills. but its pre alpha learning the map. and got no add'ons on my weapons that makes it any better yet.

The rating system on this site seems broken.

Do threads about these games always start at 400 degrees?

kramun4655d ago

Yeah they've had one up around by where I live for a couple of weeks now.

Wizziokid4655d ago

I want this game now please!

BeastlyRig4655d ago

Actually the Cod Mw3 ads was there first! They just painted the BF3 ads over them. Not fair I know but that's how it works!

ramtah4655d ago

Shutt it! Let uss enjoy it!

chidori6664655d ago (Edited 4655d ago )

lol good luck this EA.

advertise Battlefield fanboys wherever I go, forums, blogs, articles and always make sure promote Battlefield game against the Juggernaut of MW3 ads..

jdfoster004655d ago

You see.... YOU are the reason games like COD stay shit for over 6 years and use the same copy and paste formula. Because people like you in this world nothing will ever get improved! That's why people are moving to Bf3 because they actually put money in making NEW tech and engine to create BETTER games, next gen games to be infact. Unlike cod and it's out dated engine and old tech!

Call of Duty Players Disappointed by $80 B.E.A.S.T. Glove Bundle Deal

Recently, players of Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone were met with a new bundle featuring the B.E.A.S.T. Glove, inspired by King Kong's armament in the Godzilla x Kong movie. However, the $80 price tag attached to this themed accessory left many Call of Duty fans feeling underwhelmed.

Morons that allow themselves to be milked continuously by this company is the definition of irony.
Spend more $$ and you'll end up In easier lobbies so you win both ways when ya spend that cash

Controversy in the COD community feels like it happens within an alternate timeline. Activision will take the piss with something, there will be a momentary fuss about it, and then they will forget about it and carry on anyway. Repeat this cycle literally every year for the rest of time.

They call that a crack head! Thats what this is really about, its an addiction. People who dont smoke cigarettes look and laugh at the addicts that spend $8-$10 a pack, but they cant help themselves, they are addicted. That same analogy applies perfectly to the whole MT industry. Only an addict that was not thinking clearly would spend this kind of money on something so frivolous. A round of multiplayer provides the same high a person gets from scratching a lotto ticket, or putting money on a sports bet. MT in general need to really be regulated because you have a generation of kids becoming adults who grew up only knowing the MT era of gaming. Its normal to them and they will in turn teach their kids the same by just being a gaming parent and getting their kids involved with them in gaming. Thats why no matter how ridiculous the headlines keep getting out of the MT industry, it never seems to fade or go away.

I'm so tired of hearing about what they're doing with this game, its never going to change and it's never going to value the consumer over money, furthermore the people who engage so heavily in the microtransactions I guess allegedly are having a blast and can't wait to do it some more this year when the new version of the game drops.

Cheech And Chong Are Coming To Call Of Duty Because Everything Must Be Consumed

The famous comedy duo is the latest example of pop culture becoming one big grey blob

Christopher33d ago

Certain to have some sort of reference to their online store for CBD/THC chews, which is advertising heavily online the last month or two.

Sciurus_vulgaris33d ago

The randomness of the multiplayer characters is one of reason I quit playing COD after briefly returning in 2022. We got Space Marines, rappers, tree monsters etc. all in a series called “ Modern Warfare”.

OtterX32d ago (Edited 32d ago )

I think if there was ever a time for a competitor to rise up and take away some of Call of Duty's thunder, the time would be now. A military shooter that takes itself seriously, not sold out to Fortnitism. Easier said than done, I know... but the time is ripe.

I can't stand this stuff either.

Palitera32d ago

There are tons of MP shooters that make no profit, if you're looking for one of those

fsfsxii32d ago

You guys have been saying this shit since 2009. Fortunately, nobody’s bringing down cod anytime soon, if ever.

crazyCoconuts32d ago

I agree. I really didn't like how the silliness takes away the gritty origins. That and all the crazy effects... dunno. I'm still playing it but I'd love for someone to steal their cheese and cater to grittier players

OtterX32d ago

@fsfsxii It's not so much wanting COD itself to die as it is wanting this silliness to die. Like CrazyCoconuts said, it takes from the grittiness. Many OG COD players want a straightup Military shooter experience, not silly costume time at Carnival.

is this what the kids want these days a pair of iconic stoners who were big in the 70s and have kind of held on I enjoyed their movies decades ago but I never recall the movie where cheech infiltrates a enemy base while chong snipes for support guess I must of missed that one

Man I'm getting to old for this

Knightofelemia32d ago (Edited 32d ago )

Cheech just looks so wrong in the picture.

Profchaos32d ago

Why just why. cod up in smoke

anast32d ago

They charge too much for a game that is kitsch.

MW3 missed its easiest opportunity to give us some of the best Call of Duty maps ever made

From Bootleg to Black Box, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 made a heartbreaking mistake by not remastering the bizarrely forgotten maps from its namesake.
