It's 4 games late, imo, but yes it's good that it's finally happened.

CoD reviews always seem like they're just a waste of everyone's time, especially when they're embargoed until launch. Hell, people here have been playing it for nearly 24 hours already. These reviews aren't going to convince anyone who's already decided to get CoD anyway, be it gamer or dudebro. If anything, it just seems like going through the motions (with a sprinkle of pretension) for the reviewers and something to spectate if you aren't into the series.
That said, and this is anecdotal, the game hasn't been selling as well. I wonder if it's people just waiting for next gen or people just getting franchise fatigue.

Not this game, but if reception continues to deteriorate; eventually, the franchise will suffer in sales.
The reviews haven't burst; they've been on the decline. It's just now that it has become obvious.
it has to the be latter, it just has to
I enjoyed the Rev3 review moreso than anything... especially Gamespot which really glosses over MP. Kotaku's review was god awful in that 80% of the review focused on the single player.
She goes into a lot more detail and I'm going to have to agree with her it's map design that makes or breaks COD for me. The gameplay/gunplay is what I enjoy but it's the maps that either ruin it or hook me. Hopefully the maps are good.

Has someone reviewed the online multiplayer rxtensively? I never played the campagin but yeah... im a sucker for COD multi. Are the maps good? How is the 'feel' of the game? MW2 arcadey or heavier and slower like Blops?

After 4 slightly different CODs, the games media has realised they're getting the same game every year?
really glad its happened though, hope they change it up big time

Titanfall is coming. You can generally see a cycle of downplaying a series to build credibility to help boost the next one.

I don't know, I thought Blops 2 was better received than MW3. How are their metacritic scores at the end of the day?

Good news for Killzone. Hope to see a shitload of gaffers online in that game. There Will Be Fun.
People who aren't around when it's important shouldn't make threads like those that needs to be constantly updated.
he made the thread 4-5 hours ago.. he probably collapsed after making so many posts and threads here.. force a mod to do it..
lol is it really that big of a deal to you
it´s annoying that you have to go through a whole thread to find the scores.. they should always be in the OP..
BF4 says hi and Killzone SF looks great.

Lol whut?
You know the MoH: AA team became Infinity Ward right? The minds behind that game made COD4 and there's no way you can build a convincing argument that it wasn't a landmark title.
It popularized (and arguably improved) the unlock system introduced by BF2, it was a stunning game when it came out, included the ability to pierce objects with rounds which no console game did at the time and had a huge amount of variety in its campaign.
I'd say that MW2 took all of that to its logical extreme (and was also an interesting jab at the military-industrial complex with a heavy anti-war message that people seem to miss) and that BLOPS2 actually did try something new.
MW3, BLOPS, the WWII Treyarch games and this are the ones that played it safe. Sure, that's more than the ones that innovated but you can't write off the whole series. The first COD game was miles better than MoH: AA. You know why? Because AA had one phenomenal mission: The Normandy landing. EVERY level of the first CoD matched that in intensity. MoH's one man army spy schtick was getting long in the tooth long before AA came out. CoD's recognition of other countries and the 'collaborative' aspects of war as it were was incredibly refreshing then.
Here's a stream of someone playing MP on the Wii U version, looking pretty good so far.

I honestly think if you call a thread "review thread" you should be around to update it.

Having gotten to try Titanfall myself, I can say it never had to worry about any of those games to begin with.

Give him half an hour, or PM a mod to make a new thread and close this one if either of you want to update it yourself.

There's only one review so far? When are we expecting the rest?

What's with the OP? You can't start a review thread for a release as big as a CoD game and abandon it after posting one review from a site nobody has ever heard of.

They are all pretty much out and the general consensus is: average

Is being a fool banable Yet?
from playing killzone 1-3
I don't have to delude myself into thinking trash like killzone is anything but mediocre drivel since my ps4 has bf4 coming with it. that will hold my fps needs fine until titanfall takes over in march
i'm staving for a good competitive fps since ~2008
titanfall definately has some potential

Yeah it's right before a checkpoint, not in mp. Some other site had it explained.

So from playing old games you can automatically deduce that the next installment is going to be average? Pretty pathetic don't you think? Then what if the best thing since slice bread "Titanfall" gets average reviews what are you going to do then?
I wonder if that'll be patched before launch.

Man, that's just has posting style. I'm sure we'll hear about how great Titanfall is in 720p anyway.
Keep drinking the MS koolaid fanboy.
