With all the 3rd party its not getting its good to see this one man. I dont know why you feel you have to numb down the Wii U getting it. So what big deal.

It's Call of Duty, and it's essentially a current gen game. It isn't unexpected by anyone. And earlier in the thread from what I've read people were surprised by omission or still expecting an SKU.

When announcements begin defying expectations boast "Let them eat crow." But when it aligns perfectly within them it's just odd.

Yea your like the only dude still wasnt expecting it. And nobody is talking about eating crow dude.

And if the game is eventually not confirmed for Wii U i have already written your post for you:

I dont know why Wii U owners are so surprised. Isnt it only to be expected that this game didnt get a Wii U version? Activision saw the sales of Black Ops 2 and from that come to a conclusion that Ghosts isnt really a viable option to be made for Wii U. People who truly expected this really shouldnt be surprised there is no Wii U version. The writing was on the wall for this one, and yet another 360 Third party game not made for Wii U.I am not shocked at all.

It's simply a counterbalance to the jubilation and boasting we saw when retail sources pointed towards no U port materializing. Nature of the beast, I figured you'd be used to it by now?

Both fans and haters can be annoying. But at least fans are discussing something they like. Why do the haters want to hang out and discuss things they hate?

Heh, watch the reveal make no mention of the Wii U, then they release it quietly for the platform anyway, to die. That was generally what was done with the Wii versions. Nothing would surprise me at this point.

Oh please, you quoted someone earlier in the thread petulantly calling out nonexistent people. I expect some form of COD. Don't make up strawmen to attack. But if it doesn't happen then yes that's Activision's prerogative based on their internal data.

I'll stop derailing now so that people can go back to discussing the game.

That screenshot is awful for a game that came out 6 months ago. Think about what else came out in the last six months: Far Cry 3, Crysis 3, Tomb Raider, Bioshock Infinite, they all put that to disgusting shame. Medal of Honor: Warfighter looked better... Oh god... Those are all games that look like they came out in the year that they came out in. Black Ops II looks ~2009.

Black Ops II is a substantial step up from Modern Warfare 3, though. Treyarch >> Sledgehammer, but it still looks like a game that's 3-4 years old.

None of the games you mentioned are games that target 60fps on consoles.

I wasn't talking about consoles. In fact, I believe I specifically mentioned that I was comparing it to other PC games.
Click to expand...

It doesn't matter. All the games you listed built the majority of their assets around consoles, with maybe Crysis 3 as a mild exception.

If you want a proper comparison, you're going to have to find another 60fps shooter that got plopped on PC.

sad this is what the industry has come to. if im a developer and im putting my name on a product im going to put my all into it and make a quality product no matter how many sales i think it will sell.

And that's how a studio goes out of business. Wanting to make a product the best it can be is always admirable, but eventually you've got to bring in some money.

I don't buy it. I don't believe it for a second.

Black Ops II doesn't look bad because it is based on a console game that runs at 60fps, it looks bad because they didn't put forth the effort and budget necessary to take advantage of the PC's capabilities.

They could have if they wanted to. They just didn't.

Battlefield 3 shows what you can get when you have a developer that gives a shit about the PC. And a modern engine.

I'm not saying they did the wrong thing, necessarily, because honestly making the PC version something worthy of respect was probably not worth the time over the other things they have to take care of in a compressed dev cycle. I get it.

Doesn't mean I'm not allowed to call them out on it. It's Activision's fault for not giving them a proper development cycle that "the biggest franchise in gaming" honestly deserves. There should be a base line of quality for something on that pedestal, Call of Duty is consistently falling below my expectations.

and raking in the cash

guess which one is more important to activision?
answer is your expectations
Click to expand...

I'm not in denial, but I can certainly wish for better.

It's my fault and I have not made it clear, but I'm talking 100% single player campaigns. I have no opinion of any Call of Duty multiplayer, I don't play it, I play other games. It is of no concern to me.

I also understand that is the primary draw to the series for a lot of people and it suits them just fine, which is great. I'm not proposing any changes to multiplayer, nor would I even know where to begin.

I just think the single player campaigns have been dramatically lower in quality year after year since Call of Duty 4. Modern Warfare 3 was abysmal and Black Ops II was kind of okay, I guess.

They just need to step that shit up. They've been using multiplayer as a crutch for years now and it pisses me off.

It's hard for me to objectively say that a Call of Duty games is "bad" because I understand the top-class multiplayer forces each game to be at a bare minimum of quality, no matter how terrible the campaign with it is. I understand the ridiculously inflated scores this game gets each year is because of the multiplayer. I know, I know. Call of Duty is multiplayer.

But I wish they would give a shit about the single player again. It's so odd playing a game these days where the single player campaign feels like the "tacked-on bullshit" to the multiplayer mode.

I suppose I'm not ready to accept that yet.

Also because I still hold the ideal of Call of Duty 4 at the forefront of my mind every time I'm playing, it is the lens by which I view every game after it because it was such a landmark title. That and Spec Ops: The Line.

And let me tell you, Modern Warfare 3 kind of fucking sucks compared to Call of Duty 4 and Spec Ops: The Line.

I was hoping this game would be about a group of soldiers setting out to avenge the death of Ghost in MW2. Or something. I just wanted that guy to be in the game again somehow since he was the coolest part of MW2.

Well the ones who killed Ghost are already dead.

There's nothing left. Unless it's the president's call.

With Battlefield 4, Destiny and Respawn's Sci-fi FPS, the market for next gen shooter is gonna be real crowded real fast. It might actually be a smart move for CoD to focus on PS360 for now and let the competitors eat each other.

Until a new CoD proves me other wise, this will forever be the best Call of Duty. (Even though I really enjoyed the first Black Ops)

I think it is time to reinstall it and play with fellow gaffers. And yes i have sunk so many hours in that one. Black Ops 1 and 2 on PC are good imo better then MW3 in a long way. But cannot top what MW1 did.

I hope and somewhat doubt that will be the final box art. Although I do agree that something different than the usual fanfare will be nice. All I care about is if this game will be better than BLOPS2 because that has almost turned me off completely from COD.

The Tesco description talks about a next-gen engine, so it has to be on the PS4/next Xbox. The platforms in the title are the ones that retailers have confirmed.

So there will be a Wii U version? Activision seemed a bit peeved after the performance of their Wii U titles.
