I don't like COD,hell I hate the game with a passion, but this was not cool. No one deserves all those insults, iregardless if you do not like then or not.

Robert Bowling is actually a nice guy, I felt bad for him because of all the hate Mw3 was getting (even though I was contributing to the game, since it is a symbol of the Activision money cow)

People think they can get away with this crap because they are anonymous, or entitled to act like a bunch of stupid f**king brats because they paid money for a game.

Look at Bioware and the ending, and all the tweets they are getting.

The internet sucks..

shackdaddy4430d ago

Wow. I feel kinda sorry for Bowling...

awesomeperson4430d ago

I hate it how people take out all their anger on him. He had to take all the crap simply because he was community manager, its not like he could singlehandedly fix the lag, balance the weapons and create a perfect game all by himself.

I don't think many of the idiots tweeting to him are smart enough to realise he's a creative strategist and community manager, not a main developer who can magically fix the game if he wanted to >.>

Look, they provided the twitter accounts of them all.

We should spread them around to all the wrong places and get some payback on these hateful bastards.

Parapraxis4430d ago

I'm surprised most of these kids know how to operate a computer, clearly they are lower based lifeforms.

Good luck to Bowling.
For all the hate people give the COD franchise he handled it well, and did his job well.

d0nni34430d ago

This kind of response makes me ashamed to be a human, pathetic

Kran4430d ago

Kind of makes me ashamed to be a gamer more like.

I'll be a gamer for life, but other gamers take things too far.

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

Christopher47d 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_vulgaris47d 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”.

OtterX46d ago (Edited 46d 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.

Palitera46d ago

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

fsfsxii46d ago

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

crazyCoconuts46d 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

OtterX46d 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

Knightofelemia46d ago (Edited 46d ago )

Cheech just looks so wrong in the picture.

Profchaos46d ago

Why just why. cod up in smoke

anast46d ago

They charge too much for a game that is kitsch.
