I bet the people who buy these moves and skins love that it annoys some people.

Of course, what else am I getting for my money?

Imagine time traveling back to 2008 and telling people what COD will become. No one would believe you.

 

[diffusionx]

I don't see the big deal. Its an optional joke finishing move. Probably will make a few people laugh. Gaming. Fun. Anyway ...

I think people are just surprised at the way COD evolved from being a pretty grounded military shooter to just Fortnite flossing shit. And this really is pretty new, MW2019 and BOCW were not really like this.

 

[LordCBH]

I wish I could play cod without seeing the retarded skins and shit people waste their fucking money on.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

I guess they want the Fortnite crowd

It's been wacky and silly before fortnite even existed.

Totally, it just seems funny to me that people are posting about how awful it is, when that's literally the desired effect!

Win nothing and loose your core audience. Activision seems to have adapted the Microsoft strategy.

I'm not in the target group that plays military multiplayer shooters, but if I were I imagine I'd want them to at least feel a bit authentic and this kind of stuff just seems completely out of place. Can you disable them from your point of view or are you forced to see them because some whale paid for them?

I'm actually wondering if this crap will cause more "old school" gamers to abandon COD and move to Delta Force / new Battlefield

With the amount of data Activision has on their playerbase and player retention, Activision knows exactly what they are doing.

Like the failure of XDEFIANT put an end, forever, to the SBMM debate. It's over. Not saying that Activision is invincible by a long shot, but if this didn't attract players and revenue they wouldn't do it.

It sucks, but it gets us the free additional maps all year long!

 

[Syphon Filter]

what the hell? I haven't played COD in a long time and had no idea it got this corny.

Part of the reason why I don't even bother with this franchise despite having some interest years back about trying it again. I wouldn't have too much of a problem with it if the game wasn't fixed to that end. I'm clearly not the audience but i'm more than okay with that as I haven't been apart of it for at least 12 years now.

Play hardcore and you never see this shit anyhow plus there is a free week going on right now to try out the game

not a chance, anyone who was going to "abandon" cod "over this crap", did so a decade ago when it actually started; this isn't something new and activision keeps doing this because they have a decade+ of data showing that it sells.

"So stick with 360, that's your message if you don't like it?"

I'm waiting on them to come to gamepass, not paying those crazy prices for those old games
