Angry Call of Duty Fans Are Review-Bombing the Wrong Modern Warfare 3::Poor Modern Warfare 3. No, not the new one. The original one, from 2011. It’s getting review-bombed by angry Call of Duty fans who seem a bit confused about which Call of Duty is which.
I don’t think it’s so much that they’re out of ideas but that they’re too scared to risk new ideas. These games are so expensive to make now so they squeeze out as much as they can with MTX and season passes to stuff their pockets as much as possible. The longer they can keep you playing, the more money they can make off of you with minimal additional effort. Wrapping up that plan with a nice widely-recognized Call of Duty logo makes them a lot of guaranteed upfront cash.
Doing the same thing for a new unknown property won’t have that guaranteed audience, will require a lot more marketing effort, and possibly years of underperforming results before it starts becoming worthwhile. And even then it’ll be impossible to catch up to the behemoth of the biggest shooter franchise in gaming history. So it just makes financial sense to keep remaking and rebooting the tried and true. Their CEOs and shareholders demand it and their audience (for now) is happy enough to keep it that way with their wallet votes.
tl;dr
With development costs growing exponentially, publishers looking for the easiest path to the most profit, and gamers already primed to keep buying the next installment no matter what, sticking to old ideas is what makes the most sense. Goes for movies too.
The new MW3 steam reviews are locked until its official release, as is always the case. People are venting where it is both possible and making some sense.
The author likely is aware of this and just likes to poke fun at angry CoD fans.
I stop caring about modern warfare about 5 years ago when it became apparent that they had even less artistic integrity than the FIFA games, so I haven't really been keeping track.
So what's this new game actually called is it literally just called Modern Warfare 3, again? Because if that's the case it's 100%, their fault.
I played COD in their latest deployment, I had fun and I was shocked at how the game pushed so much BS on others. One guy I played with said he dropped 1k on skins and weapons. In his defense, they are making it pay to win with some bundles. I never bought shit, just earned some skins and didn't care.
Please explain how the bundles of skins and stickers are lay to win?
I havent spent one penny other than the base (which i bought the week itblaunches) game for MWII and have never ran across anyone who has a play advantage over me.
