Call of Duty "transcends entertainment in such a massive way"

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 defied all odds last year, setting a new entertainment sales record for the third consecutive year. In just 24 hours, the game grossed $400 million in the US and UK, and went on to gross $1 billion throughout the world in 16 days of availability. Now months later fans still can't get enough, even though some in the business believe Call of Duty could be fading. The truth of the matter is that the brand has been taken to new heights, and between Call of Duty Elite, a Call of Duty XP show, and tons of DLC content, Call of Duty is truly its own phenomenon.

I honestly loved the franchise up until Modern Warfare 2. After that, I just can't get into it anymore, though I frequently play CoD 4 mp to this day- such an awesome game.

MrBeatdown4419d ago (Edited 4419d ago )

I still play it, although my reasons for playing it have changed. I used to play it for the MP, obviously, but for the past few games, especially with MW3, I play it because of the split screen features.

The series gets a lot of hate, and I agree the MP formula has gotten stale and the maps aren't as great as they were in CoD4, but I feel that people overlook some of the other ways the series has improved. I absolutely loved playing the Survival and co-op missions in split screen. It really requires teamwork on Veteran. Playing online multiplayer in split screen is nice too.

I had a ton of fun playing offline MP with three others with bots thrown in in Black Ops too. Zombies wasn't bad either.

AusRogo4419d ago (Edited 4419d ago )

Mw3 will probably be the last cod I get. I got it not for the online multiplayer. But for the spec ops and split screen.. and the campaign. Spec ops is alot of fun, just wish we could get the dlc missions seperate from the multiplayer maps since I dont play the multiplayer. Not many games do split screen anymore.. And when my little brother comes over cod id the only split screen.. So unless Activision can pull a miracle out of their ass and have a new engine or something new to the series, then ill pass this years cod.

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5099d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905099d ago (Edited 5099d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5099d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5099d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495099d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5099d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5099d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
