I was liking the premise and finding the setup interesting, only to get hit with COD. Why do all of that? It's COD. It's white bread. We all know how it plays like. We all know what it looks like. Why get our hopes up?

Bleh.

 

[Elginer]

You not wrong

 

[The Incarnation]

Black Ops 7, starring Gary Neville.

 

[Crayon]

They're making a new cod!!!!!

 

[diffusionx]

I thought it was Titanfall 3 lol

just fuck my shit up fam

 

[DeepSpace5D]

Agreed. "Just one more thing" and proceeds to show the annual release everybody knew was coming and nobody is surprised about. A lame closer to an otherwise decent show.

 

[CityHunter1981]

Hyping me up with a good looking premise, only to tell me: "Fuck you, it's COD"…

 

[LiquidMetal14]

I was into it until I saw it was CoD. It will be on GP so I will try it.

 

[Dusktildawn48]

One of the more disappointing endings to a showcase ever.

At first I thought it was maybe a trailer for TES6. Saw the futuristic setting said maybe it's new Perfect Dark gameplay and a release date, but the style didn't check out. Waited with baited breath and when I heard "Menendez," I knew I had been duped.

 

[Crispy Gamer]

Yup that was some BS

 

[Stephen Curry]

That was like dressing up for a black tie event and getting in a limo only to be dropped off at an Applebee's

 

[TintoConCasera]

The NIN music got me pumped for some sci-fy kino but nah, Call of Duty.

Very similar to me. I thought it was Perfect Dark at first, then as the trailer went on for some reason I was thinking Splinter Cell. I was so intrigued, and then Black Ops 7 flashes on the screen and I'm like

 

[Abysse]

It looks like Black Ops 7 has won you over.

 

[Atrus]

The live chat was fun to read as everyone was guessing Titanfall, Control, Evil Within only for it to end up as BLOPS7.

 

[Zuzu]

I made a guess that it was another COD fairly early on in the trailer but I thought it might be a sequel to Advanced Warfare because the robots looked similar to that game when I watched it. But it disappointed me to see that is another Black Ops. Thinking about it further those robots are possibly similar to the ones in Black Ops 3.

 

[SuperC]

I knew it was cod from the first 5 seconds from the robot design and voice which is the same as infinite warfare

 

[TGO]

So they're going straight to Blops 7

 

[poodaddy]

They're making a new cod!!!!!

I know right, who could have possibly seen that coming?!?

 

[Orbital2060]

I was relieved it turned out to be Black Ops, as I was thinking they werent going to show it at the showcase at that point.

 

[Denton]

The NIN music got me pumped for some sci-fy kino but nah, Call of Duty.

Trent did compose Black Ops 2 main theme.

But yeah this was a terrible ending of the show and ridiculously dumb decision.

 

[noob smokes]

We on black ops 7 the fact ppl keep buyin & playin this trash smh no hate but godam we need some better shooters

 

[SamuraiEdge]

I am a sucker for NIN so it was a good watch. Got tricked by how they revealed it given the wording.

 

[Lootlord]

Is that the dude from the Heroes series?

Bleh.

Who the fuck even makes an annual game into their "1 more thing" game?

No one is waiting with anticipation for a game that comes out yearly.

 

[hououinkyouma00]

This just looks fucking stupid. I just can't with COD anymore.

What was once a series I loved and spent hundreds sometimes thousands of hours with has just turned into sci-fi bullshit that makes no fucking sense. Bring back gritty warfare not this bullshit.

 

[Punished Miku]

Looks good though. Thought it was OD at first.

But yeah CoD isn't your typical one more thing so I get the annoyance. I'll play it though.

 

[mitch1971]

Cod, the Marvel of gaming.

 

[R6Rider]

Is that the dude from the Heroes series?

Yeah

 

[Avid Reading Horse]

COD Derangement Syndrome. Very sad. Many such cases. And I say that as someone who has been discarded by Activision as a COD customer.

I quite like white bread. Especially with peanut butter and jelly!

 

[Rockman33]

Thought the same thing. Although the last COD single player is pretty good.

 

[Donald mac Ronald]

Lol they're going straight to another black ops? Wasn't the last one black ops 6?

 

[Plies]

It's white bread.

 

[Pimpbaa]

Lol they're going straight to another black ops? Wasn't the last one black ops 6?

Yeah I don't understand this. Switching around to the various COD series kept things kinda interesting.

 

[Fess]

I thought it looked super interesting. Highlight of the show for me. Yes it's COD, white bread you say, but I like the last two and the last one surprised me with gameplay mechanics I never expected in a COD. This one surprised me with the setup alone so I'm excited to play it. And it's on Gamepass so there is nothing holding me back. White bread can be great too, put it in a toaster and it's always yummy!

 

[Gitaroo]

I honestly thought they would end the show with Halo something. That represent that start of xbox more than anything.

 

[DeepEnigma]

 

[Lionel Richie]

Good thread OP, I was also intrigued and then sure enough COD.

 

[Donald mac Ronald]

Yeah I don't understand this. Switching around to the various COD series kept things kinda interesting.

I wonder if its going to be like MW3 and especially a full priced dlc.

 

[Calverz]

Black Ops 7, starring Gary Neville.

 

[Topher]

I thought Microsoft was bringing us some new interesting IP. And then....

 

[clarky]

I like white bread. Especially toasted.

 

[Audiophile]

Given that MW IV is rumoured to be a full, current/next gen only game (no PS4/X1 version) -- revamped and a bigger step up -- I'd totally be down for a 10 minute gameplay demo of that as the "one more thing" next year. Assuming it truly impresses (even cooler would be to see a preview of how the next-gen version will run on the Xbox "5"). So I'm not against COD being the top billing in and of itself, in the right context it can be a strong finisher.

But this year, a CGI trailer of another cross gen BLOPS that's likely to look and function 98% the same..? Meh... Surely they could've mustered up a little something from Gears E-Day if it's a year out?

 

[Outlier]

You guy ever wonder that most of these big companies aren't interested in making compelling games and that they just want you to give them your money, for as little as possible?

I played COD4 and Future Warfare and they both were the same experience for me. A giant piled of "Meh. It was alright." and never touched a COD game, again.

 

[Connificent]

Cod fish and chips are the best

 

[JonCarr/]

It was a hilarious end to an otherwise great presentation.
