6v6 used to be perfect for Call of Duty around the CoD4/WaW days, but they keep making the maps smaller and smaller to the point where 6v6 now feels like a huge clusterfuck.

Damn, this game is printed already.
Yeah, smaller player count matches in COD have a tension and tactical element that gradually disappears as more players are added.
Loved 3v3 Team Tactical in COD4, wish they'd bring that back.
Why do people keep comparing this? Not the same type of games at all. Personally i enjoy COD way more than BF, only BF i liked was Bad Company.
Why wouldn't you release what your fanbase wants? It's partly why CoD is successful. People like that gameplay.

Am I the only one who was excited to see that the case looks like a true blu-ray case? Its smaller height will be much appreciated over the DVD cases of yore.
Hmm, okay. Will wait for official confirmation. Haven't played a CoD game since MW.

Your ability to misjudge the general mood of threads is amazing.
i was kinda hoping for bigger maps in COD.
i am still buying both day one. but i always wanted a bigger maps for some reason with more players. kinda more fun to me.
i always play 18 players ground war in COD as Team Death match is too small for me.
more noobs and idiots to kill i guess
I wonder how many games actually are done then after seeing this. This straight skipped a gold announcement and showed the finished product.
I wonder if devs are all working on day one updates at this point with physical copies being pressed and ready to go.
I only put that as obviously he was looking at the Xbox One box, I am so far from a fanboi...
I will attempt to edit it better
Edit: Changed title to 'Next gen' as I am taking a leap of faith PS4 will be the same

At first, I was like "whut!?"
Then I was like, "oh yeah, I don't play CoD."
More players can easily imba the entire match anyway, so the news itself isn't necessarily bad.

Presumably this is because it was a multiplatform game, the maps are the same across all versions and can't physically hold more players in what is already a very hectic game.
Combine that with p2p connections and you can't really expect that they could design the game around loads more.
It's still an increase in player count over older games isn't it?

2 campers, 2 snipers, 3 noobs on the edges of the map and 2 people playing the objective. Sounds about right.

It's possible that particular disc wasn't 100% real.
However, now is about the time most games are finished, and then they have to pass certification for each console, so they have a few weeks to print and ship copies of the game.
So it's entirely possible copies of Ghosts are being made right now, but it's also possible that was just a placeholder disc for showing it off now.
so did i . but why not give players more options ? some people want small games. just like how everyone loves nuke town type of levels.
but others also enjoy more players in big levels. so why not giving them the option to in a new game mode ?
i mean, BF does it. why not COD ?
omg i laughed so hard @ these 2 comments lol

The sweet spot for close quarter team death matches are 16-18 players anyway.
Which is precisely what I shall playing in BF4.
Hopefully CoD can have its momentum slowed a little next gen so it at least doesn't get (semi) cloned so much.

I'm not a CoD player, but this seems like par for the course. PC/PS4 should have the same player count, too. Are people up in arms over this?

Switch 1 noob with 1 asshole running around knifing everyone.
My point exactly, why can they not have bigger maps, I know people go, "but it is Cod" but people are constantly asking for COD to change with the times

9v9 is still going to be carnage on the tiny maps the insist on making.

64 players on Call of Duty maps is usually pretty shit on PC. So I guess they have a point.
maybe 9 v 9 isn't man enough for him
I guess everything now is news...
logic. not even once.
the only CoD that was able to have a higher player count was United Offensive.

"Only" 18 players?
I'm guessing the OP has skipped the last seven years worth of COD games.

That's a good point. It could just be the packaging with a blank disc with the sticker. I figure 4-5 weeks out, we should be hearing that games have gone gold. I'm getting overly excited because this is getting so close.

This. This is nothing new and the map to player ratio is fine.

Possible, but they were giving away free prestige editions to people who attended the reveal in LA, maybe they got it out to those people early as apparently Drift0r has a copy too.

Apples and oranges, really. They're almost completely different games. CoD is more run-and-gun with chaotic gameplay on smaller map sizes. Not to mention unstoppable kill-streak machines of death flying overheard. Larger maps wouldn't be suited for infantry focused gameplay, and more players would ruin the experience.
Battlefield is more about combined arms warfare (infantry + vehicles) with more emphasis on team cooperation, as well as strategy in how you attack\defend points. Larger maps make it more fun. More players are needed to fill the larger maps.
Funny thing, the Wii version of CoDs only had 5 v 5 and it was actually more fun to me than when I played 6 v 6.
I miss 5 v 5. Seemed like a perfect amount for the maps and killstreak system these CoD games use.
Pretty Much, played Black Ops 2 for a little, I just naturally presumed we would be getting big sprawling maps

Kind of. Thread title is a bit sensational then people that dont know about cod post because warsGrimløck;86397529 said:
correct me if i am wrong. but doesn't COD on pc has 64 players in ?
my point was Dice was able to put 64 players in BF and update them from the number of players on PS3/Xbox 360. yet COD seems stuck with the same number. it seems to be they are just re skinning the game and rushing it for next gen consoles.
