New Call of Duty confirmed for Q4 2013

[ThunderSt0rm]

Another DLC to COD series? I stopped playing COD right after BO1. Cock On Duty is another way to earn quick cash from retarded kids who can't tell the difference between a good game and a sh*tty game.

Can I use this in my sig? I agree with it so much.

If you wish to then yes. COD is a DLC and that's a true fact. Look at MW3.

its a f*cking cash cow but so is McDonalds, so are you telling me that all the people who get a half hour lunch break and use McDonalds to get some food down them because its convenient, are "retarded people who cant tell the difference between good food and sh*tty food"? its all relative man, and yeah I do agree that it does feel like COD is just churned out to make money; but its a convenience.

 

anyway, on topic, I've been watching Generation Kill and I'd love a revival of the COD 4 Marine missions!

[GoldenBlade]

You can't say that each game that comes out in a title is the same. There are actually many differences that people fail to notice. You have to look at more than just gameplay. The storyline is a major difference. The only games that are pretty much the same every title would be sports games. They still have minor differences, though.

[LittleBlueTroll]

As seen here, sometimes its the people who play COD that can make it ridiculously frustrating...

 

[Finn 7 five 11]

Good choice of song, I enjoyed that haha.

[Shogun Of Japan]

I agree with Claude4Catalina and DropThaSystem

Same Sh*t Different Year

I see it as a bread-and-butter type part of the industry. It gives a good baseline, and is great if there's nothing else. Plus, it is indeed like fast food, since it doesn't take a huge commitment to sit down and play a few rounds, so it's easy for you to just sit down in whatever small amount of free time you have and play it between scarfing down left-over pizza and beer. The controls are intuitive and the concept is simple (shoot the bad guys), so it's not hard to find 3 other dudes who can play it and get a sweet game of Zombies or local multiplayer going, and it's a good social tool because even people who are typically non-gamers can enjoy it. You can't tell me you'd make any friends bringing Dark Souls to a party.

 

Essentially, all the things that make it sh*tty make it great, and these are all reasons that Black Ops II is a ubiquitous feature in any dorm room. I personally think that if you get this upset over it, you're taking things WAY too seriously.

 

That said, I agree that annual installments are pretty lame. Games like CoD and Madden could really learn a lesson from World of Warcraft and there regular patches and expansions. If they would have just made all the maps from Blops 2 in to DLC for Blops 1, release the campaign, MP, and new zombies modes as an expansion compatible with not only the DLC maps but also the original maps. I'm sure people would still pay full price for it, but it would at least look like it isn't a total cash-in. That might make it a little more complicated as far as bringing it over to a buddy's place, but it wouldn't be a huge deal if you just buy yourself a flashdrive and format it to your console and save all that sh*t on it.

[Claude4Catalina]

I honestly think if BO2 was a DLC to Black Ops, it would have been a whole lot better, ignoring the whole "killing the second hand game" market argument (one I find very valid), if it was DLC I believe the continuity would run a whole lot smoother and it would have played out a lot differently; for example we would have seen Op Charybdis and then leading up to Hudson and Alex re-cooperating with the CIA, helping Zavimbi as a means to finding Woods; we also could have played as Woods escaping from Hanoi and on the CIA operation that him and his guys captured in the first place. (maybe Weaver being part of Wood's crew as a second in command and getting tortured to death? he seemed to be the woobie of the group) Black Ops II felt far too focused on 'Menendez being an evil bastard' to warrant being a direct sequel, if we played as CIA Agent Ryan Jackson in the past missions and as Jackson's son in the future, it'd make a whole lot more sense, given that he would be aware of Woods' reputation.

Sakuya is right.

I hate how people bash CoD when FIFA is much worse.

[Tchuck]

Sakuya is right.

How would you expect FIFA to change every year?

[Claude4Catalina]

sports games are kinda justified in being similar every year as you cant just reinvent the idea of football and add new rules etc, without expecting to lose a chunk of the fanbase. you can, however, add new things to a shooting game, for example the loadout screen in Black Ops II added a whole lot of replayability for me.

So apparently:

 

[BullworthAcademy]

Sakuya is right.

Exactly the same with CoD.

All you can do to CoD is add a longer campaign.

Don't know why it gets so much hate.

I hate when people think the hatred for a game is undeserved especially when it has been supported by decent arguments numerous times. I can believe that you find CoD a fun game to play and you play it alot but don't even try to go prancing about that you're really skilled as a FPS gamer and that you know alot about videogames (especially first person shooters).

 

On top of that... mostly the people who say that the one 'CoD each year' cycle is stupid also think that of the other franchises that do this.

 

All I can say about this 'news' is meh.

So apparently:

 

Wow that was indeed unexpected wasn't it? I can't believe it and I knew that would happen just like that.

 

Let's see some confirmation by Infinity Ward or Activision if it's actually real. Because to me? It looks like a total fake in my opinion.

[Durden]

If its really a prequel involving Ghost, I will be so happy. One of my favourite characters (gee what gave that away?)

Well the same thing was said when Black Ops 2 was leaked and it ended up being true.

Call Of Duty: MW3 had a unexpected leak before back in 2011 if I'm right or not and Call Of Duty: Black Ops II as well back in 2012. I still remember those leaks more less for some reason.

 

@gionascm2. Well check this out and this struck me as well. I may think so in my honest opinion.

 

"The Official UK PlayStation Magazine lent credence to speculation that Modern Warfare 3 would be a prequel starring fan favourite character Ghost. The magazine's sources strengthened a rumor which first reared its head online early in January 2011. On the Rumor Machine page in its issue (055), OPM points to "insider whispers" which suggest: "Infinity Ward's next Modern Warfare title will be a prequel, with Ghost in the lead role

Not really. Being a shooter franchise that's already touched into some sci-fi aspects with Black Ops II, CoD certainly has room to expand. IW could get more creative, but it seems they're too busy milking the cash cow to worry about that. With FIFA, what can you do? Add cyborg implants on the players? Set the match in space?

 

I do like Sakuya's point about CoD being the base for FPS games in general. Somebody's gotta do it, and CoD is ideal for it.

[SweatyPa1ms]

 

Sakuya is right.

The answer is not to think like EA and not release one every year. FIFA could be released every 4 years with them only giving us transfers updates until the next one is released. That way they could actually have time to make some significant changes instead of feeding us sh*te year on year.

 

Same goes for CoD.

[KilnerLUFC]

The Call of Duty franchise continues to set the bar for innovation

 

Oh, Activision. You never cease to entertain me. XD

Why Activision? Did they personally write the article?

 

If it's between a sequel to BO or MW, I'd rather it be MW4, but in all honesty I think it's about time they work on a brand new series altogether, what with the new gen of consoles coming out and all that, why not make a fresh start and see where they could go from there?

 

End of the day, however much they piss me off with how they milk us gamers into paying full money for the same rehashed sh*t, just a slight few changes here and there, I still buy the games and I still spend hours on them, so would be hypocritical of me to bash the next one to come along.

 

So, uhm, bring on more info please...

[Red XIII]

It only takes them a year to make the game. f*ck these guys

It actually only takes 6 months. First months of a year used for DLC, the remaining for "making" a "new" game.

2 studios develop the game, they have around 2 years for each game to be made.

 

infinity ward released a game in 2011, then their next release date is 2013 because treyarch will be releasing a game in 2012.

You honestly think they spend 2 whole years working on a CoD? Lol.

It's obvious that they start couple months after release of that said-CoD game and prepare for 2 years of making it while other studio releases their cod do not doubt it as this i real.

But Konami does it as well, why don't they get bashed?

 

Are you a FIFA player? Do you know how FIFA changes every year? It's not just about new content, it's about different mechanics, different ways of improving the playability of the game, changes to the engine, changes to how things are presented, better techniques, better technology. Players do not want just transfer updates, otherwise they wouldn't be yearly releases. EA can make a FIFA game every year, and every year it brings in tons of money while also becoming a better game. Why should they stop doing that? What would they do with all their staff? They're not in huge crunches to release the game every year.

 

Yearly iterations means they can upgrade the game one step at a time, as well as fix problems that come up with it. Say FIFA is released every 4 years. People buy it. They don't like the way the dribbling works. EA listens to it. They want to change. But it's not a change that can be patched in without serious modifications to the engine. So everyone will have to wait 4 years until the next release. 4 years comes along, the dribbling is good, but now the free-kick system is kind of broken, because the designers decided to come up with a new way for it. People complain, EA listens. But again, 4 years to wait until the next release. They can do yearly titles, the majority of players welcome the yearly titles, it's good for EA, it's good for the staff, it's good for the gamers. Hence, it's done.

 

On CoD, they release one every year because they can, because the players want it, and because it sells. If the majority of players didn't want it, they wouldn't be making it every year. And you can be sure they don't make a new CoD like a mod, basically adding content to the original game and repackaging it. That's not how development works.

[LittleBlueTroll]

People have yet to even see a trailer and already they're slagging it off

At least wait to see some kind of footage before presuming its just "The same sh*t"

If they spent 4 years making a game it should have less mistakes than something which has been rushed out for Christmas. Your logic is flawed.

[Claude4Catalina]

it probably will be similar to the previous few instalments, that's a given; but all the while there's a fanbase, there will be yearly releases, its a formula that works; you don't see Coca Cola changing their recipe every year because some people don't like the taste; the fact is people are always gonna bitch about it, I just chose to ignore the people who pre-empt their hate and, like you said, wait for some kind of footage before I make my own judgements and listen to other's presumptions.

 

Ghost hm? not a bad idea, something between COD 4 and MW2 to fill in some of the blanks and tie in with Soap's Journal?
