I think Call Of Duty tends to get a lot of hate on forums and gaming related sites lately. Some of it might be warranted, but I have come to the conclusion a lot of it is not. One thing that I’ve noticed more and more is the fact that while people on forums and gaming sites all claim to hate the Call Of Duty franchise and claim they wont purchase the next installment of the game, each new Call Of Duty that comes out ends up outselling the previous game. So either these people are lying or they are really a vast minority. I tend to think it’s a little of both, so many people have friends or family that buys Call Of Duty games that it only makes sense to pick it up and enjoy it with those people. One of the main complaints you’ll see from people is that they feel Call Of Duty is a milked franchise. I think the term “milked” is pretty relative when it comes to gaming, people use it as a device strictly to argue, but most of the time ignore the facts that there are games that they like which are actually far more milked by their own standards. I personally believe the Modern Warfare franchise should be relieved of the Call Of Duty moniker and hopefully this article will explain why I think that would be a good idea.
Captain Price's fate at the end of 2011's Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 could've been very different, as this new post-credits scene reveals.
The developers have provided a little band-aid while PlayStation players attempt to get back into MW3.
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.
The previous head of Infinity ward tried to do it but failed... Its not like there will be a boost in sells or like Infinity ward separating from Activision. We all know Activision aka KotickLand wouldn't let them leave.
