some of them I legit enjoyed even though the lag and game breaking poo poo that gets patched a year in

I put a ton of hours into this one and had some fun with Blackout. Glad I got away when i did though

We all know they’re going to find some paywall P2W scheme or get their money somehow though

I'm sure the game will have some sort of monetization scheme that I will not spend any money on. It will probably launch without any microtransactions in order to get better reviews, just like BO4 did. I'm sure at some point guns will be added to the lootboxes and they be obnoxiously OP for a week or two before they get nerfed into the ground.

Some of it has already been announced / mentioned: mainly cosmetic variants for attachment and gun parts.

That’s cool but I’m waiting for the paywall guns with better stats or perks. No way that’s not happening

They’ll deny it then patch them in two weeks in

Not having to worry about DLC in the price is nice, though I’m sure they still have $80 and $120 versions for pre-order and a $300 one with some lovely electronic

I'm actually pretty pumped for the new CoD as a Battlefield player. BFV sucks hard and after hearing that they plan to have 64p modes and even a 100+ player ground war mode I'm fully in on the new CoD. Hopefully it eats DICE's lunch and make them actually try on their next outing.

Activision has been eating their lunch for a decade, and EA's efforts to copy the formula have all ended in failure.

Anyone remember these gems?

Sure, but it's not like Battlefield was a slouch in number of sales even if it doesn't match CoD. BF1, my personal favorite, sold 15 million copies in its first 4 months which is pretty solid. What I mean is that Battlefield has had a lock on large scale warfare that CoD wasn't aiming for. But if the new modern warfare delivers solid 64p or 100p+ games then why bother with a lovely BFV.

Yeah, I see what you mean now. EA has had a bug up its rear end about trying to match Activision instead of trying to grow the genre they were already king in; the arcade mechanized mil-sim.
And I guess Kotick smells blood with BFV's weak sales, and is looking to increase shareholder value at EA's expense by muscling in.

Hell, they probably have at least a two-in-three chance of pulling it off too; with the exception of Respawn, EA dev houses are rife with mismanagement, and Activision is nothing if not ruthlessly focused in its game design (ignoring WWII).

It's funny that none of the major publishers seem to notice Ubisoft pulling a major turnaround on Siege. If EA weren't loving short sighted profit chasers they could probably do something similar with BFV but heaven forbid the shareholders wait for a profit. Either way MW definitely looks like it'll hurt an already small BFV playerbase. Good.

No confirmation of one but they've mentioned a game mode that has 100 players or more so not much of a stretch that the game could have a BR mode at some point.

iirc IW Cods always had a better chat quality than treyarch releases (360).
With PS4 the system level chat was so superior there wasn't much point in not using it.

Okay I can’t lie the new gameplay is bringing back a lot of mw2/that era of cod nostalgia. It has the right feel that they seemed to have lost right when the mobility era became a thing. I don’t mean just in the movement but with everything. The gunplay, map design, ui. It all feels like a natural extension of what CoD was before.

:shrug: I guess they have my attention

I don’t even regret it or anything. I had a lot of fun with the game but I don’t even keep it installed now. The design philosophy is such a disaster. It’s like a formless blob of codlike substances in a game.

The MP is trash, the game itself makes the PS4 dashboard virtually unusable, the game patches all 100GB every update.

Blackout is good though

all dev time went to Blackout when it became the only thing people streamed/watched/played. In turn MP turned to an unbalanced poo poo show, Zombies died a slow death, and even Blackout kinda fizzled out because the updates were far and few.

Then they began removing weapons from the operations and making them supply crates only. And then they made those weapons incredibly broken and good, leaving them in the wild for a couple of weeks, then “balancing” them. It’s predatory and real loving lovely.
