MP1st - Electronic Arts has set their sights on reclaiming the first-person shooter throne for a while now – two and half years, to be exact. And COO, Peter Moore, predicts that within the same amount of time, EA will, indeed, own the genre based on their original 5-year plan to make it to the top.
Do you remember what gaming was like before Fortnite entered the gaming space? One of the biggest arguments was about loot boxes. Now we have conversations about crossovers, battle passes, and community outreach.
Idk. Loot boxes did disappear and battle passes and in game purchases are all cosmetic. We get free weapons and maps post launch, any gameplay affecting content. I could care less about all the cosmetics.
I absolutely hated the days where weapons were locked behind a less than 1% chance lootbox pull where it'd take 5+ hours to have enough tokens to do a single pull and lazy remastered/remake maps cost you $15 each wave or $50 for the season pass that you didn't know what you'd get and these maps were only available to those that bought it so you get a smaller pool of players match with.
Call of duty can simply not copy the bad aspects of Fortnite? Or is that too out of this world? Like COD, a realistic shooter-just HAD to have Nicki Minaj running around? Or super heroes?
I prefer the battle passes with free maps than the $50 season pass that divided the community. I definitely feel that Fortnite had some influence on CoD having loot boxes with Blackout being introduced in 2018 with Black Ops 4.
Actually Fortnite bullshit ruined Unreal Tournament. Epic are sellouts and I will never have that shitty store on my PC, fuck them and that shit bag Tim Sweeney. At least the community keeps the games alive, I still play UT2004.
The Black Ops Gulf War leaks continue with a list of weapon descriptions giving more info on what you can expect from new and returning weapons.
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.
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.
Considering that Frostbite 2.0 is next-gen technology, and EA invented and owns it, whereas the CoD engine is nothing more than a well-maintained, highly modified Quake 3 engine, I would say that Activision has a *ton* of work to do, before they are going to be able to get CoD to compete with its next-gen competition.
Presumably, they have never had need of a serious engineering team at IW or Treyarch (or Sledgehammer), because maintaining an existing engine is a hella-lot easier than building a new one. They insist that their code is slick, but we've already seen it falling behind the curve, and it has never seemed to fully embrace multi-core tech like the new Frostbite engine appears to.
You got your work cut out for you, Activision. Get to it, or suffer the consequences.
I must say something.
In my opinion, Battlefield Bad Company 2 was better game than Battlefield 3. I returned to BC2 like 2 months ago and is soooo fun. And a lot of people are still playing on PS3.
Battlefield 3 maps are nothing special, graphics are ok (city maps are graphically nothing special), BC2 is more fluid, BC2 explosions are better, feeling when you destroy a tank or chopper is better in BC2, every gun sounds and feels different in BC2, maps are great in BC2, BF3 has too many places to camp, but BF3 has better rank progress because you get more stuff for weapons and you are rewarded with those medals....
So, I really hope they don't fuck up Bad Company 3 :-(
Honestly you can compare every detail of these games but the basics are virtually the same. The real difference imo is Bad Company both 1 & 2 were fun the characters made the game fun. COD is so serious. If both COD 17 or whatever it is now & Bad Company 3 came out on the same day i would play BC first!
I expect the Respawn game to come out next Feb/March and BFBC3 to come out October 2013. EA is smart to establish their FPS franchises this gen and then keep the momentum going into the next gen.
I hope DICE will have more time with BC3, not rush it next year just to compete with IW's 2013 Call of Duty.
Edited: @Hdz54 Sorry about that I meant to say Call of Duty 10, the one after Black Ops 2. Too many CoDs, hehe.
