doomposting and wishposting in a single post, where can I get this power?Wouuaaa Microsoft killing franchises and studios just after buying them, like it never happened before... Act like if it were a surprise!
And remember, MS is used to prepare its fans for bad news... so it's fuck*ng happening!
I doubt it, sounds like a worthless contract as most devs release patch/dlc for games even after acquistion. e.g. bethesda
You underestimate how much ms wants so desperately to have a free to play gaas.
Nah, the last COD i really played was MW3.

was right if Call of Duty single player campaigns were deemed too risky by Activision.
Yeah the standalone releases still make a lot of money, but that won't continue to be the case if they can't meet basic quality expectations.
I think slowing the train down puts the brand at risk personally. On a 2-3 year cycle, a single poor reception could turn a game that charts at the top year over year, to a game without much positive word of mouth for 4-6 years. Game over if that happens.
Agreed, at this point CoD has to remain a yearly francize, or worst case a bi-annual one, if you put 3 years in between them...well...look at Battlefield V and 2042, that francise is in the trashcan now, from a period between 3 and 4 where they were getting super close to CoD in terms of numbers and popularity.
Ok but they have at least 7 studios working on a title every year. What is the best COD/campaign in your opinion?
The status quo is unsustainable, and every other annualized brand has either realized that or suffering dramatically.
Yea treyarchs game is coming after mw3
Yep, that's primarily the only reason I ever buy them. Despite jumping up and down in quality over the years they usually manage to deliver some awesome first person animations, if you're into that sorta thing and can definitely give you some fun especially when bought at a discount.
Honestly at this point that needs to stop, even I stopped playing the campaigns after ghost. I heard that the ones for MW, Blops and MWII were good but I honestly just never bothered.
You might be right.
Even if they quit doing campaigns. They'd still sell millions of a game at $70/year. Why would you ever give that up? You'd need to be a damn sure about your whales going GaaS to give up that much money a year.
Sonys more concerned about those whales than anything else. That should tell you why they fought so hard
Do the $70 titles not have any DLC or battle passes?
