People have been crying out for big maps for a long time, instead of the ever decreasing death zones they have been creating, they actually make larger maps, with great openness, and then IGN go and mark it down.

The maps being "too big" are the only thing giving me hope.

Everyone at work is buying this game (360)and I had no intention on it. Now due to my peers' influence I might be. Why must I be surrounded by bros?

I'm so codfused.

Wait till you realize that you are not surrounded by them, you are one of them...

Played about 4 hours in singleplayer. Can't agree with Polygon. Campaign is awesome, with tons of fun set pieces, cool effects and graphics and with doge. Best Cod's campaign so far after blops 1 and 2.

I feel like people say this every time the new cod comes out.

Has anyone in the UK read the Sun today?

Page 12, Champion Gamer (No idea who he is) has given it 9/10 and credits it for its powerful and emotional thought provoking story line...

Nearly spit my tea out...!!

These are
some of
the reasons people consider the Call of Duty singleplayer terrible.

I didn't actually think people bought new games on demand at maximum price, but there you have it. Surely the money saved by buying it from a supermarket or something would justify physical over digital?

That $10 upgrade applies for every version of the game FYI.

The larger maps are great.

Not sure if you are being completely serious or if you are one of those tin foil IGN moneygate people.

God forbid someone actually enjoy the game. It's an opinion.

he's just trying to fit in with the herd on here

yeah, the verticality of them is also great. SO many nooks and crannies. Not sure how it will play out in the longterm but good for now.

Seems like the maps cater more to the run and gun style -- I like to play CoD more methodically. Personally, I feel like the map size was perfect in CoD4 and MW2.

Beginning of the decline of the series?

Let's be realistic. Anything post mw2 has been a part of the slow decline...oddly enough the sales seem to go up. Without the original minds behind the franchise you can just feel the lack of polish with every new iteration. At least I do.
 
Titanfalls timing is just so perfect

no launch fps from ms
following up a shit halo
another garbage killzone on ps4 and nothing in the spring
bungie getting delays
and now a shit COD


the fps market will be so thirsty in March

Most of this thread's post are serious hate towards this game. Looks like a bashing/shitting thread, what I don't get is if you don't like CoD why do you care how mich the game scores?

As long as people have fun and enjoy the ride why would you shit on the amusement because yours is different?

For some people to tink that CoD is overrated there are ither people who think the game delivers greatly.

I, for one, love the formula and will gladly get a PS4 digital copy once the game system is released.

Any other name on the cover of this game, and we'd be seeing 6s instead of 7s and 8s.
Activision giveth, and Activision can taketh away.

IGN is among the only sites gushing over the game, but they wanted the early review traffic hits - which meant promising the publisher a very positive score in return. You know everyone there is wearing their free Ghosts tshirts today.

Usually these kind of scores wouldn't be much of an issue. But considering that previous CODs where used to an average 9 out of 10 kind of range, this does show a decline.

Wonder if it's the start of an overall decline or if it'll pick back up next year. The series could do with a facelift. New engine, some new gameplay mechanics instead of just fine tuning old ones. Treyarch sounds like the guys who could pull that off, if they weren't on this constant rotating schedule.

Maybe if Activision could someone else to step in for Treyarch this time round so they could work on all that. Since there's no chance they'd let a year go by without a new COD.

Either way, we won't see any massive sales drop for a while.

Thanks for this. Judging by these numbers Call of Duty games itself are on the decline. I bet it still sells a shitton of copies.
