The Microsoft curse. Every studio they buy is dying a slow death.
I'm dying a slow death every time i hear some loon parrot out this take.The Microsoft curse. Every studio they buy is dying a slow death.
No. It's not. I play counter strike to a pretty damn high level. I never call anyone sweaty who is better than me. I'll also get shit on by people in cod, I've played with and against pro players on cod back in the day. I know when someone is better than me.
I'm talking about people camping, not playing the objective, stat whoring, baiting, using scummy weapons and perks which I refuse to use because they are busted. That is sweaty. Please don't patronise me. I have no dunning kruger or delusions of my skill level. I know I'm not the best. I'm just unfortunately one of the victims of being good enough to have a miserable time with cods sbmm.
It doesn’t tell us anything really but with how COD has bragged about breaking sales records in the past like first 24 hours and 1 week sales and we haven’t gotten any mention of sales numbers points to lower sales but how low no one here knows.I know that it's all the rage on this forum to shit on Microsoft and call of duty, but I'm confused a bit on how this data would mean the game is a flop?
The campaign for this game is absolute trash.
But the engagement comparison (whatever the hell that even means) is directly compared to the previous 2 modern warfare games. If it's actually better than thr previous 2 games, how does the data represent it being a flop?
I dont keep up with numbers and records at all, so I'll definitely require a simplified explanation lol.
We have it at 25% lower in the UK:It doesn’t tell us anything really but with how COD has bragged about breaking sales records in the past like first 24 hours and 1 week sales and we haven’t gotten any mention of sales numbers points to lower sales but how low no one here knows.
Bullets shot per player.First, it's all about the total units sold.
Then, it's all about the number of players (engagement).
Now, it's all about the total hours played (engagement).
What is next?
ive been playing it the past 2 days and its a lot of fun. These maps are so damn good
We have it at 25% lower in the UK:
But the fact that Activision themselves didn't brag about sales tells me they don't want that information out there.
I don't think we got any absolute figures, only relative ones. What's particularly interesting is that there are MW3 PS5 bundles that count towards Gfk data and PS5 sales are up significantly this year but MW sales down. The decline must be large enough to offset any gains from the PS5 bundle increase.How many copies did MWII sell in the UK? It will interesting to subtract 25% and see what they actually sold there this time around.
I've legit heard dumber reasons than thatengagement? People are tying the knot over a video game??

We don't unfortunately. Last year we had MW2 and Ragnarok bundles. This year we have MW3 bundled at no extra cost and Spider-Man 2 bundles. This year PS5 sales are up 143% so it's a little surprising to see MW3 still track 25% lower with the PS5 bundle included in the data. PS5 bundle sales increase didn't offset it much it seems.Do we have numbers for the MWIII bundle specifically?
MWII sold a lot based on hype and expectations, because it’s not really a good game, so they certainly lost some of the seemingly bottomless good faith their customers have.
Definitely a microsoft owned company lol
Of course they would be touting engagement as the entire franchise has been reworked into a battle pass/ camo grind/ recycled map drip feed.
So much of modern gaming sucks, it’s literally predatory trash enticing you to stay in their micro-transaction hellscape, yet the sheep line up for their annual dose time after time. Enjoy being an engagement statistic I guess.
