Take it with a grain of salt (it is VG247, after all), but the DLC for BLOPS 3 may be coming to the PS4 first this time. http://www.vg247.com/2015/06/04/call-of-duty-black-ops-3-may-end-xbox-exclusivity-deal/

PS4 has sold around double the units of Xbone sales, so I could see Activision making that call since Blops3 will be new consoles only.

The article already mentions a few things that are getting cut back for old consoles, like only having 2 player campaign co-op rather than 4 player on xbone and ps4. So it might not be as large a setback.

Hearing that MS has been working on an emulator was pretty cool.

It's still up to the developer or publisher to approve it going on the list for backwards compatibility. Even if it's not in favor of a HD remake, they could still never approve MW2 or Blops1/2 for it.

We even played Safeguard a couple times!


... Until we decided we hated it after losing one game and immediately switched back to Dom. Although, I still call shenanigans on how it somehow determined we lost despite neither team getting the robot to the point in the overtime rounds.

Safeguard was fun, really good when you have thermite grenades. I felt that it's going to end up being really good or really bad depending on the map. Or if they could possibly change the points and routes for the robot.

Why do they even both with the sp now?

They couldn't get away with $60 for a mp only game. The last-gen versions are only $10 cheaper now, but figure that price is being propped up a bit by the digital copy of Blops1.

I don't know if I'd call CoD a good game so much as it's a "reasonable" game. Like choosing an 80's action movie instead of some art house classic award winner. A good way to kill time.

My Stockholm game is Magic, don't have the money or time but I keep playing that poo poo. Holding on to cards that are too good to sell, but they're only used in decks that I can't afford anyways so they just sit in a box waiting for me to have a few grand to drop on the rest of the cards I'd need to actually play with them.

People have some real selective memory about Ghosts.

Ghosts is a pretty big haze, been going back to it a few time recently and still finding maps I forgot existed or DLC ones that I never played on. It was decently solid gameplay/netcode but so much of the game isn't memorable. It wasn't as popular/fun as Blops2 and not as big a poo poo show as Advanced Warfare.

Also would it be wrong to think that putting Blops 3 codes on Code Red bottles would literally print money?

There's certainly people buying more mountain dew for codes, as well as people who might not normally buy mountain dew at all.

Though having the 2xp codes be Zombies only is pretty loving stupid.

Who the gently caress even drops money on crates anyways. I mean, it's not even P2W in MP. You could make a case for Zombies and Liquid Divinium, since Mega Gumballs can be pretty broken, but not in MP where it's just cosmetics and a "balanced" set of weapons.

Emphasis on balanced.

Still doesn't sit right with people. You could play every day until the next CoD comes out and have lovely enough odds that you never see one drop. Or drop some money and have the same thing happen. I bought CoD points, but my Garand came out of a crate from cashing in the duplicates inside the crates I bought with real money I've got no problem paying for a gun, but I'm not exactly crazy about paying for the chance of a gun.

Fixed bug where the Rolling Thunder could be seen on the mini-map by enemies who were not using the Engineer Perk.

So how many years can they scam me into buying their garbage for an included remake? I'll do it for MW1, 2, 3, and possibly blop2.

Assuming it's a download code and not a DLC for Infinite Warfare, you could always buy it separately from ebay/SAmart.

Also, between years of remakes, dlc maps, and nearly a decade of other games in the series, the games start to blend together.

But then it wouldn't be "GRITTY REALISTIC MODERN MILITARY WARFARE" and you'd risk alienating the shitheads who think CoD is cool.

EDIT: My money was on this year being Ghosts 2. I'm really perplexed as to why all 3 CoD studios are now working on completely different weaksauce near-future milscifi.

Future stuff lets them get away from paying people for the rights to have specific guns and attachments, and some of the problematic stuff we've done in any of the wars you'd make a game out of instead.

Plus part of the deal Activision had with West and Zampella gave them money and certain rights on any games made set between WW2 and the Gulf War iirc, though I don't know how long that lasts or what changed after they were fired after MW2.
