GazzaGarratt 11,035 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 A few people have suggested to get rid of the Call of Duty forum. All down to you guys. Poll closes 1st Sept 6pn UK time. If it gets nuked, threads won't be lost, they'll go back into Shooters forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The3rdWalker 1,271 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Nuke it, it's sentimental sure. But they put out dogshit after dogshit and watching the past few releases on this website no one lasts playing it more than 2 months. i7 7700k, 16GB RAM, GEFORCE 1080, 240GB SSHD, 2TB SSD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCA-Paendrag 2,758 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Can't believe I'm actually saying this, but keep it. That is, keep it until Christmas and see how it fares. Then MOAB it if it doesn't generate interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tronic44 3,642 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I say keep it no matter what, cod is still a massive game and plenty of people will buy it. Even if it turns out just be shite at least all the hate will have a centralised place to live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sennex 1,903 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 The only concern I see with keeping it until after new year is CoD puts out a new game every year. We could continually make this argument I think you guys need to cut the umbilical cord, let go of your First FPS crush, and move on GazzaGarratt 1 Luke 23:34 'And Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they don't think it be like it is, but it do."

GazzaGarratt 11,035 Posted August 22, 2017 Author Share Posted August 22, 2017 Bart does make a good point. I wasn't a part of the really early days so I guess I don't have that much of a preference either way. I just want to see things interesting if I'm brutally honest.

Sennex 1,903 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Cool you saved me from doing the math.

Sennex 1,903 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Retro and Survival are Genre's not specific titles like Overwatch (People still play this all the time, its just not worth discussing because its a horrible basic and shitty game) phil bottle 1 Luke 23:34 'And Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they don't think it be like it is, but it do."

tronic44 3,642 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I honestly don't mind taking it down, the only reason I think it should stay for the time being, is because this cod will hopefully be different. Maybe we should take it down and if it kicks off we can put it back up? You all make very good points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could continually make this argument If it gets nuked in January, then the argument doesn't need to be continued, considering they release their games in November.Anyways. I don't really care. Threads can still be made on the game regardless. [emoji106]Via the FG App Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerBurge 2,375 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Honestly though why get rid of it? It's not what drives us but I like to easily be able to go to what subs I want and not dig through shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sennex 1,903 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Its a marketting thing to be honest. You don't want things hanging out there that are not used. It makes the site look like it has no traffic. Which we all know isn't true, but it is a perception. Its why Warframe was nuked, and a few others. All this stemmed from Lee and I talking about how to get more users here., and from the realization that no one wants to visit a site that looks dead. Dave and I had very similar talks years ago, and it was never resolved to anyones liking. This is sort of a continuation of that. Lets all be honest here, with Destiny 2 coming out, how many will really take the time to play the new CoD? I could be wrong here, but I thoroughly expect the forum to be gone come January, and I don't see the point in postponing it. However, the vote is to keep it, so we will Luke 23:34 'And Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they don't think it be like it is, but it do."

Combine these two, and you have a forum thats not used, that could be repurposed to another title.

Greboth 2,721 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I voted to keep it though agree it should only be a temporary reprieve. With the beta coming this weekend and possibly (hopefully) the best CoD in a while in a couple of months we could see more activity. It is only a possibility though so like a few suggested I'd say give it a chance and if things odn't pick up nuke it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
