BO7H B4RRELS 2,451 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 It might be a solid game. This generation might love it. But, it's not the Call of Duty I once loved, and miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerBurge 2,375 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Looks like I'm officially done with CoD. Damn I love 3Arc games but hated the wall running,boost jumping bullshit CoD has became. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madjonny 386 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Incredible! I just... It's as if they created everything we didn't want, all at once... That looks absolutely wank! I'll probably end up buying it though, preorder for the beta atleast, play it for a week then forget it again I'm guessing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J4MES OX4D 9,974 Posted April 26, 2015 Author Share Posted April 26, 2015 I dunno if I've outgrown COD or whether that was an exceptionally crap trailer but for me; BO3 looks utter rubbish that doesn't appeal in the slightest. Not only have they included everything that I don't like about the franchise now; the identity of the series is completely lost with all this futuristic robotic shit. With Infinity Ward up next and then Sledgehammer to look forward to; I think this could very well be the final nail in the coffin for me with this series.

Madjonny 386 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 That trailer is like CoDs version of Warframe... http://youtu.be/2Bgez-fZCAE And warframe has rollers: As much as I love warframe, It's not something I want to see combined with CoD... Back to basics please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BO7H B4RRELS 2,451 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Felt like I just watched a trailer for AW! I did as well. That's all I could think of. It was really off-putting. I loved Black Ops and Black Ops 2. I didn't have my hopes up at all about BO3, but I was secretly hoping it would surprise me. Nope. Just confirmed that it's time to move on from one of my favorite series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noct 68 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Looks like a cross between CoD, Titanfall and Crysis, in my opinion. Generally not interested in this series anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J4MES OX4D 9,974 Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 I've just watched the Advanced Warfare trailer for the first time in nearly a year and it's just streets ahead compared to the BO3 one. You can't judge a book by its cover and you certainly cannot judge a game by the trailer but despite not being a massive fan of AW; the narrative-driven, visually impressive and smartly edited reveal just seems far tidier, better structured and much more impressive. Sledgehammer really seemed to push the brand and the games's identity in their one but Treyarch's reveal was surprisingly sloppy and somewhat lucklustre for me.

Diddums 4,336 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I'm just... what? Why? What were they thinking? I could be wrong here, but isn't AW the least successful CoD to date? And Ghosts the one after that? (quick Google tells me that AW was 27% down on the sales before it) So why are they making these stupid decisions? I don't know about the heads at Activision, but if I try something and it works, that's great. If I try something else and it works less, then I go back to the first one I did and go from there. Right? Let's have some numbers, according to Statisticbrain: Call of Duty 2003 1,750,000 Call of Duty 2 2005 2,500,000 Call of Duty 3 2006 1,250,000 Call of Duty 4 : Modern Warfare 2007 13,500,000 Call of Duty : Modern Warfare 2 2009 23,000,000 Call of Duty : Modern Warfare 3 2011 26,500,000 Call of Duty : World at War 2008 11,000,000 Call of Duty : Black Ops 2010 21,500,000 Call of Duty : Black Ops 2 2011 24,200,000 Call of Duty : Ghosts 2013 14,500,000 AW sadly isn't on the list but there's definitely a trend here. Ghosts sold 14.5m copies. MW 3 by contrast, sold almost double. BO2 weighed in at 24m. So who in their right mind thought "I know, let's take our greatest sales figures to date, go as far away from those games as possible, and see if it works"? It just doesn't make sense to me.

J4MES OX4D 9,974 Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 It just doesn't make sense to me. After the reception AW got in the wider community; I bet Treyarch were deeply concerned - trouble is, they were already two years into developing BO3 by the time AW got released so it was too late to do a dramatic u-turn. I can't judge BO3 on what happened with AW but the general era isn't very appealing. I think Treyarch were possibly threatened by Titanfall at time time of producing BO3 at the start and decided to mimic that type of game to squeeze the competition but that flopped and so did Sledgehammer's game. Hopefully Treyarch's reputation will outweigh any concerns but they could have actually screwed themselves before they even started. The franchise is actually better-placed than it's ever been in regards to the cycle but they're just farming out futuristic titles now. Sledgehammer could handle future titles, IW could do the modern era and Treyarch could make the more classic games. That would be a good variety per year for me but this persistent future theme is getting extremely tedious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaosGladiator 808 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Cod4/MW2 remakes for PS4/Xbone plox! You have to give 3arc their due when it comes to choice of music though. About the one thing they got right in that trailer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madjonny 386 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Think this is just a trend? After a couple more years or so we will get out of this future rubbish all the time and go back in time or back to present day again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
