I'm just not into the futuristic aesthetic they've got going on and the wall jumping and what not.
I'm glad that they've added ray tracing back though. I plan to skip BO7 and just wait for whatever comes next.

Someone on internet told them to spent money on a game just to hate it? Smart. Just to note that CoD here is 350R$ on steam which is extremelly expansive.

From the look of it most are heavly complaining about the ridiculous campaign(some even called very childish). I dunno about other regions though.

For me personally its one of the worst COD campaigns of all time and throw in the wall jumping/running futuristic crap and its easily one of the worst CODs they have released in years

As always the gunplay feels good though
 
The campaign (half way through) is utter utter dogshit. I normally love a COD campaign, but these open world levels are not it.

MP is good - it's COD and you get exactly what you would expect.
 
Every few years I load up Infinite Warfare and play its badass campaign again, it only cost me two quid on cdkeys years ago. I never did try its multiplayer though. That's essentially my entire interaction with these games since World at War with Kiefer Sutherland.

I know it's what COD is now, but opening up a COD thread and seeing just a game screenshot of fkn robots is sad.

Franchise has become utter garbage.

How about we just scrap the campaign and lower the price of the game? Dev costs would have probably been way lower as well.

Maybe they should have but remember black ops 4 they removed the campaign and price was the same. I don't think they'll lower the price even without the campaign

Wow there are people that actually think like this. And somehow butthurt that a multi trillion dollar company will have lower than expected sales for a lazy full priced reskin. Damn those people not buying every piece of shit this company pushes out.
 
I didn't touch the campaign, but I did play some of the multiplayer. One match was enough for me, and it was on that one subway/train map that was in previous CODs. I enjoyed BO6 quite a bit, even with all the reused maps and everything. But this one just didn't look or feel as appealing to me. It's not the futuristic stuff either. I enjoyed BO6's multiplayer quite a bit, so much so that it immediately clicked for me, much like the previous CODs that did. But this just didn't, which was a very familiar feeling that I remember with MW3, Ghosts, etc.

I've heard people don't like the campaign as it's pretty out there and ridiculous. But I've also heard that just the amount that's there and the price tag just isn't worth it. Which, I can't really blame anyone for feeling that way. I mean, a lot of people love COD for multiplayer, and they reuse old maps more than create new ones, it's a shame. I read a lot of people say that Zombies is the best thing, but paying that kind of money for just Zombies isn't worth it.
 
I've only played the first three levels of the campaign, and I clicked the solo option. However the game seems to think I've still got the other three squad members with me. They keep talking to me during the levels as if they are present (they aren't, not even NPC versions), and then they appear in cutscenes as if they've just fought through the levels with me. Wtf is going on?

Also, I'm equipping an LMG then the cutscene occurs and my guy is holding the default automatic rifle. Is it too much to ask to match the cutscenes to the gear I'm actually using?
 
Never liked the series, way more interesting FPS series like Resistance, Halo, Quake, Timesplitters. Half Life, Duke Nukem, Serious Sam etc should have gotten this popular instead.

the story is happening to a squad, playing solo doesn't change the story.

Why don't they stick NPC's into the levels then to play as the other three squad members (although in truth they're the most unlikeable generic squad I've seen in a while - wish I was just truly solo without them yapping away idiotically).
 
Multiplayer is really super solid and probably the best cod to date in terms of online shooting. Game is fun to play.

Never cared about a single player games but the amount of trash talking about it is funny. As if people buy the game for single player only. At one point call of duty released few games without a single player story at all. all the sudden it's all we care ? Ok lol.

Low sales on steam meaning nothing. The game is available on game pass on PC. BF6 isn't. Why would someone buy it outside of the very few hardcore cod is beyond me ( I am one of them )

If there are numbers I am interested in knowing. Is how much it sold on PlayStation vs BF6. Since there is no game pass there I mean.

Also. Even if it did tank horribly. It's not gonna die. If anything this will just put extra pressure on the devs to do better. This is ok for me a gamer.

Also, IW is the next call of duty if I am not mistaken. It will stomp on anything going to be released next year outside of GTA6 ( assuming it's not delayed again lol )

Probably because of cod being an MP first game, so their npc (enemy/ally) has always been pretty straightforward to the point of stupid, I doubt it would've been fun having to revive your AI squad mates all the time.

The multiplayer and zombies are fine, the problem is the campaign.

It's 11 co-op missions with no hard checkpoints, the enemies are all armored bullet sponges and the story is perhaps the worst ever seen in a triple-A game.

Every mission consists of your team of Hollywood actors fighting armored enemies and robots, then they sniff purple smoke (evil bio weapon unleashed by the main villain) that makes them all hallucinate and travel to different dimensions and fight demons. They do that at the end of most missions.

Funny thing is, they all hallucinate into the same dreams and nightmares, it's like a squad hallucination mission, where they fight demons of their past.

At one point, they all hallucinate into each others past and heal each others traumas by fighting each others demons.

I got a month of GP to play the CoD campaign and I play the BF campaign. But I was talking in general. Why do people care about this campaign?

Personally, I'm drawn to games that are entertaining, have great audiovisuals, and offer good gameplay.

If it delivers intensity, then go for it... I'm thinking of buying WW2, but it's still quite expensive for what it offers.

Since I already know it's the same online.

It doesn't appeal to me that much.
 
GAF doesn't realize how big a flop this is and the chill it's going to have on institutional investors. I think it's a pretty big cautionary signal ahead of the GTA VI launch. When GTA V launched, kids still owned consoles. Consoles were still at the pinnacle of the societal meta for young men. The average age of a console owner has gone up more than 5 years since then. They're seen amongst teens and college kids as a dad thing.

The current social meta in gaming is sending an overwhelming wave of negativity toward publishers when they show anything less than amazing material of new releases. GTA VI only comes to PS5 and Xbox Series next year. If the reviews and performance are not absolutely stellar, the internet is going to rip it apart. Series S performance gifs, anything woke will be mined out and spotlighted.

The industry is in a position where GTA VI must have a bigger impact than Wii Sports to be considered a success. I think the road to that success is a finer line than most realize. Implications will be massive if it falters whatsoever.

Are you guys sure its not just the result of CoD being on the back-slide for the last few years and this year it finally has direct competition in the form of Battlefield ?
