They tried to tell you. After Advanced Warfare they kept saying it. Over and over and over again. Boots on the ground, boots on the ground. We want our boots on the ground. So what do you do? You take the boots as far away from the ground as humanly possible. Despite the fact that your own freaking hardcore fanbase, and the dopes that stream your game, told you flat out, NO BOOST THRUSTING, NO VERTICAL MOVEMENT. BOOTS ON THE GROUND. However I for one think it's great. It's about time this waste of a franchise took one on the chin. And all the Modern Warfare remasters in the world will not save this titanic mess from sinking. Especially if Battlefield 1 delivers on what hardcore COD fans wanted all along. If that game brings it on launch, and has no issues, you may have just handed over the Military fps market to Dice and EA on a silver platter. And you have nothing to blame but your own hubris and misplaced greed. I hope this is a wake up call. No, you can't just do whatever the hell you want, not without people buying and playing your game you can't. And quite frankly, and this is the truly hilarious part) If gamers want to go to infinity and beyond guess what they can play, and are already playing...DESTINY YOU TWITS. LOL LOL Hopefully this debacle buries Call of Duty once and for all. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed. Couple of items I wanted to add based on the feedback this post has received. First, it's just an opinion. It's not COD hate for the sake of COD hate. And it's pretty dumb for people to come on here without the facts, or a biased interpretation of the facts, and claim business as usual. This is not business as usual. The reveal trailer has a staggering four million dislikes. You tube has dubbed it the most disliked video, not just trailer or reveal, but most disliked video in it's history. So don't come here and tout AW or Ghost or wtv, the ratio is not even close. For anyone to suggest this isn't damaging, is just being plain idiotic. You tube is where the Lions share of COD marketing takes place, and for a reveal like this to be rejected in such a way, on their own stomping ground, it's damning period. It just is. That's why you are hearing spin from COD CEO'S, That's why Blops 3 season pass holders are getting weapon bribes. What, you think it was out of the kindness of their own hearts to blatantly become at odds with their own gambling rng slot machines? Don't make me laugh. Will people still buy the game, of course they will. Time and damage control heals all wounds. And I'm sure the next reveal will hype some goodies that may reverse the trend. But as of right now, it's a problem. And for anyone to come on this thread and say it's not because '' There is no such thing as bad press.'' is just being dumb, plain and simple. Hopefully this will result in the powers that be, doing the right thing, and selling Modern Warfare as a stand alone purchase, and not using it as a bundle to save sales for their space game and shake their hardcore fan base down. And that is all I am suggesting they learn from this. And one last thing, if there is no point in posting opinions or voicing dislikes, then why does anyone bother? Because if there are enough of them, it does matter. No matter how many people buy their game.
