Why We Don't Need a New COD: Modern Warfare Game

GameDynamo - "Pause. Before you fly down to the comments section, hear me out. I'm not saying that the Modern Warfare series should meet its end. I'm simply here to question whether or not a new game is necessary so soon."

Maybe "we" don't need it but Activision does ! Without this golden egg laying machine company would step into deep smelly shit as I'm pretty sure Cod is most likely half of their profit where other half would be Blizzard titles

Hufandpuf4469d ago

This article is a game too late. Tre-arch is next in line so there WILL be a new COD, then after that IW is going to make another COD title. Also there will be one on Vita. 3 more CODs in 2 years.

And it's funny because vita supporters that are COD haters are now supporting COD because they want their handheld to sell. Which in turn will make Acti publish even more CODs.

We're past the point of no return. COD will be written down as one of the greatest franchises of all time whether we like it or not.

People say its on a crash course, but its really on a crash course to more success because EACH AND EVERY YEAR more and more people are buying it.

I quite liked COD4. Twas fun, had a blast playing it. I haven't felt the need to buy any more CODs. I've preferred moving away from the FPS genre in general. Quite a few people, of the mainstream as well as hardcore still enjoy the COD franchise and apparently want to keep buying it.

That's fine with me.

If i'm worried about anything regarding Activision's publishing trends, it's that I hope it doesn't negatively influence other publishers. I think franchises get milked anyway, since $$$ is the name of the game nowaday, and so it happens in the film industry and anywhere else.

If YOU (the royal 'you') think that your money is justified in buying a new COD, who is anyone to tell you otherwise?

It's the role of every other publisher to show the people why their games and developers are better. Simple as that. I buy games that indicate quality and passion in their making. That's a subjective choice.

@Hufandpuf
as for COD being the greatest franchise? Sure from a financial standpoint, and perhaps having sold the most copies you can easily make the case for it being the most liked.

but greatest franchise based on critical acclaim, personal choice, or any other criteria? Highly debatable. It's a moot point ultimately, perhaps. But that's why as gamers we debate. That's the whole idea. And I for one find the franchise redundant, unoriginal, and uninteresting. If anyone cares, I can elaborate. But it's all been said before so i'll avoid that.

Hufandpuf4469d ago

You don't have to elaborate why COD is shovelware now, I know. I love COD4 (because I still play it). That was back when the idea was fresh. The recent CODs are shells of COD4.

PinkFunk4469d ago

Indeed. And though I don't play COD4 anymore, it only takes me a moment to recall those countless nights of pure COD fun back in the day.

Ahhh yes. Those were the days.

And now I somewhat eagerly await the new UC3 maps.

gamernova4469d ago

Well makarov is dead...so now I'm looking for a new story.

RioKing4469d ago

Future Warfare -_-

ie. BF2142

"Why We Don't Need Anymore COD Games"

Fixed the title for you.

Tonester9254469d ago

Would that be the same as saying no more Tom Clancy Games?

Gamer-Z4469d ago

I'm not trying to hate or anything but I just don't see what else they can possibly do or add in the next COD to keep it fresh that hasn't been done already.

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

melons36d ago

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.

Gridknac36d ago

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.

X-2334d ago

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

Christopher50d 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_vulgaris50d 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”.

OtterX50d ago (Edited 50d 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.

Palitera50d ago

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

fsfsxii50d ago

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

crazyCoconuts50d 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

OtterX50d 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

Knightofelemia50d ago (Edited 50d ago )

Cheech just looks so wrong in the picture.

Profchaos50d ago

Why just why. cod up in smoke

anast50d ago

They charge too much for a game that is kitsch.
