EA has called a truce in its war of words with bitter franchise rival Call of Duty.
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 famous comedy duo is the latest example of pop culture becoming one big grey blob
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.
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”.
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.
There are tons of MP shooters that make no profit, if you're looking for one of those
You guys have been saying this shit since 2009. Fortunately, nobody’s bringing down cod anytime soon, if ever.
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
@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
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.
Step 1. Talk a lot of trash and hype before the game comes out to draw attention
Step 2. Release your game with said trash talking and hype
Step 3. Try to soften the blow of MW3's release by pretending like nothing ever happened
Step 4. Back out of initiated fight casually and pretend to be happy for the competition, despite the fact that you were out for their blood
Meanwhile, Activision will likely dominate in sales, will probably take back all the COD players that decided to pop the Battlefield Bubblegum to taste for a week, which would lead to EA looking stupid, because these higher ups view sales as a representation of fan preference anyway. All the trashtalking about BF3 destroying COD will fall on EA's face and things will go back to the way it used to be.
EA should also focus on supporting BF3 instead of trying to be the hereoes at this point anyway. Fixing those laggy servers are a damn good start and releasing some maps that are more like Caspian and less like Metro and its awful chokepoints. Perhaps they can use this time to also tell us about some of the content they promised us but never yet came. I want my BattleRecorder, for one. And whatever happened to shooting out lights to create darkened rooms? I shoot out lights, and if they shatter (which they don't always do) they still emit a light. Sounds like they rushed this game to come out before MW3 to secure those non-BF players
Never before have I seen the amount of trash talking between two prominent video games companies as I have with these two.
This is pretty pathetic. They honestly keep bringing attention to themselves in the worst possible way. I'd just like to note how a lot of people on this site are also changing their tune already, funny.
Wow why back track now?After tha shit ya'll talked now you decided too back off after your first week sales are in.I understand people is going too blame EA but some blame also goes too DICE.
If I was DICE I would have told them too stfu and let us focus on making tha best game we can instead of defending our product.And too be honest I'm pissed off at DICE and EA.They hyped up tha PC version so much they forgot about tha console owners.
Tha fact that BF3 cost less on PC but they get more is not acceptable in my eyes.They couldnt even give us 16v16 on consoles.
