Blame Truth is a retarded sweaty faggot, but really its just going to be BO6 with a BO2 Skin, still going to le suck but theres been worse CoDs like Vanguard and MWII 2022, I honestly wish they would just make the Multiplayer a full on live service in a similar vain to Warzone at this point so they stop abandoning games after 1 year of shelf life
black ops 2 was imo the best cod of the golden age,
Whole arc of MGS5 Phantom Pain.
There's a Nigeria section in Advanced Warfare.
If true, at least those devs still have employment. I cannot find an article saying otherwise.
WWII on PC got delisted because of all the hacking. You want to continue to play WWII without hackers?.. then buy a PS5 and a PS4 copy of WWII.
They've ruined a franchise and can't even keep the older games hacker free.
Speaking as a console player, they're STILL selling its DLC at FULL PRICE with little opportunity for discounts. Black Ops II is an exception; I see its Season Pass on sale for $15 regularly. But, Black Ops II is a hacker's haven so I steer clear of its multiplayer and just play Zombies.
These are less games and more spyware, and I think Activision/Microsoft recognize that at this point. In fact, their recent moves make more sense when you consider that they do not give a single fuck about the franchise or if the games are good or even make money, just that they have as many players as possible due to sheer brand recognition so that they can use these games as a honeypot. Then, they do all sorts of psychological tests on them, from seeing how SBMM impacts them to how to get them to pay for microtransactions to the more insidious, dubiously legal things they're doing like hijacking your account when you're offline to use it as a bot player(remember when bots in multiplayer were a conspiracy theory?) or training AI models/god knows what else by not shutting down properly and continuing to run when you close the game like BO6 on PC does. Then, there is data harvesting like collecting your birthday and phone number just to play the game, along with AI recording everything you say in-game and god knows what other metrics they collect.
I don't feel bad if these retards get their PCs bricked or their info compromised. They get what they deserve for opting in to play this garbage.
Those games were always fun, and the ones who were loudest about them being "bad" are eating the current nu-COD AI generated slop right up. Ghosts and Advanced Warfare were so fun since there were few Treyarch kiddies around, it felt like the real COD of old for at least a couple of years before BO3 came around.
DLC for both games is worth it just for zombies alone. Be aware that you don't get any extra survival maps in AW after map pack 1 however, since the same team responsible for survival switched to zombies. You just get bare game maps + map pack 1.
That's Activision wanting to make Ghosts into a subseries, but I guess it didn't do well enough TO warrant it. That's bad storytelling. Let's use Call of Duty 4 as an example. AFAIK, Call of Duty 4 was meant to be its own story as an passion project from Infinity Ward and from Activision in exchange for another Call of Duty WW2 game. Basically, Modern Warfare was not planned as a series from the get-go. It had a beginning, middle and end that left you fulfilled but maybe wanting more.
Whenever you play nu-COD, you enter a game of Russian Roulette to see if you will get banned: Cheating? Banned. Not cheating? Shadowbanned. Run across some loser that mass-reports you? Shadowbanned. You run across some scriptkiddie with a dev console open? Guaranteed shadowban, probably a real ban as well and maybe your console bricked as well. Just playing the game and minding your own business? Enjoy your ban stalker child, there have been instances of players getting banned by just playing zombies, not even multiplayer, solo by themselves in Cold War and the game just bans them on the spot because they think they're running cheats. AI thinks you said something naughty? That's a ban too. This is not appealable, Activision doesn't care, if you get banned for any of these reasons, even if it's out of the blue without you doing anything, Activision won't care. Genuine big youtubers and MLG players were hit by those bans and they didn't get support, neither will you.
