So they finally complained about CODs issue for the last 10 or so years.

Did you read any of the reviews? The campaign was about half as long as the typical campaigns where were always on the short side but action packed. Apparently you could tell that things were just stitched together and rushed. I didn't buy it, I don't buy COD every year or even every other year but the reviews actually explain the reasoning, none of them mention xbox anywhere.

Yes to that degree, happens all the time... considering how many acquisitions they've made, the overlap should be huge.
They had companywide layoffs twice during the year so it's not just an Activision thing, yes this last round was mostly Activision but it wasn't only Activision.
 
The 2024 COD should be an impovement. The last COD was rumored to have started out as an expansion. Either way, it was a rush job by Sledgehammer. Normally, Treyarch's game would have followed the IW one, but they got an extra year. Last year's game was developed before MS owned them anyway lol.

This game being on Game Pass won't be a massive system seller, but it will help.

Plus, once they get all the old games on there, we can enjoy COD before the modern SBMM systems. It is going to be great to jump into Blops 2 and other greats from the series.
That's the thing, some people want to make it all about xbox when they didn't make the game in the first place, Activision did.

If you think GamePass will be a serious detriment to sales, I would point to their expansion to Switch to offset that. The layoffs will also cut their operating costs, as crappy as it is.
When is that coming? And you have zero idea how it will do their anyway.

This is what I mean. You are making a hell of a lot of assumptions. I'm not sitting here saying Game Pass won't still be profitable. I'm not sitting here saying COD will fail on Nintendo. We simply don't know.

One thing I am sure about, COD won't do much for Xbox hardware sales. If it was exclusive, sure. But day 1 on all previous Platforms. Day 1 DLC on all platforms too, if I recall correctly.Even less chance of nabbing Ninty users. It is also too fast paced for streaming I would think.
 
Was it 4. Which ever one had a BR mode first.
It was 4. They didn’t have a campaign that release, it’s was the first time in multiplayer they had operators each having special skills that was pretty fun, and the BR mode had Alcatraz island that was great. Played their BR mode a ton I had over 100 wins all maps and modes combined. You can still find matches now I played it couple months ago.

You strongly implied that Activision will no longer be profitable post-acquisition and I'm the one making assumptions?

No I didn't.

All I implied was you are using outdate info. Which you are.

You have no clue how sales and profits will be affected under Xbox and its focus on Game Pass. Could be great. Could be bad. WE DON'T KNOW.

I'm making my own assumptions based off the data at hand. I'm not claiming to know anything.
 
I haven't played MW3 but I don't think COD campaigns need to be very long. I'd much prefer a tight campaign than one that is artificially padded.

I remember reading a statistic that showed most people who buy COD never touch the campaign.

COD is and always has been a multiplayer game.

The next COD is rumoured to be open world.

Because I know what you are trying to do, don't pretend that's not exactly what you were doing lol.

BTW that video you posted was from 10 years ago so clearly people were calling them out before the last year.

Could said games be switch exclusive? As it has the largest user base and most logical? Maybe we’ll hear about it later this month, that’s why it was supposed to be an announcement later not when it did?

 
s***ting on COD. Yes I do it often.

I didn't turn it into an Xbox thing. That's you and you seem to do it a lot.
You've brought up that nonsense in several discussions and then act as if you weren't bringing up xbox just because you didn't mention the name. It's obvious when you do it EVERY TIME lol.

I bring up xbox a lot? I'm in an xbox thread lol.
 
If only it were that hard to see through it lol.

Still waiting for an explanation as to how me s***ting on a now MS owned product is me claiming bias towards MS.
And it's not just topics in the Xbox section that you make about Xbox. ;)

You've brought up the fake media bias against xbox so many times it's crazy, you always want to make them a victim in some way.
