You chose the worst COD of all time. AW will be a game to own.

I'll answer this, but I warn everyone...it's going to be a long read. Since MW, the CoD series has excelled because it's a "casual 1st" franchise. CoD diehards will swear up and down it's not...but the fact of the matter is, it IS. The game is marketed to appeal to the masses as a fast paced, pick up and play twitch shooter. A game anyone can pick up the controller, play and meet marginal success with. There's very little skill needed to be successful in CoD games, multiplayer specifically. The person with the fastest reflexes wins...plain and simple. So someone who's never played and FPS game before can be good at CoD if they have natural hand/eye coordination. But that's merely the technical aspect of it. Look at how they advertise the game. Big budget commercials with celebrities and fancy visuals. The same kind of ads you'd see for what? Big budget movie releases. And who do movie studios try to cater their ads for their big budget films? All demographics. Same goes for CoD, with emphasis on bringing in the casual players, and their core fanbase. And that's who suck CoD games up year after year like oxygen. But have you heard anything about the CoD player base growing in the last 3 releases? Nope...you haven't. And here's why. CoD as a franchise reached it's apex with MW2. Why? Because it's the last game in the franchise that truly appeal to people outside of the franchise's main player base. I'll take myself for example. I'm a Battlefield guy. I've been so since BF2. But when MW2 came out, I decided I wanted to give it a try because it had aspects that interested me. Granted, it didn't last long...as I only kept the game for about 7 months, but still. It did enough to make me, and others like me...people who have committed time to other FPS franchises to give it a go. It's been down hill since, as every CoD game has tried to recreate MW2's success and failed miserably. That brings us to the core CoD fanbase. The people who shell out money year after year for pretty much the same game...just with a new coat of paint on it. I won't say that there people are a lil' bit jaded...but if I see a series of games hasn't changed in 2+ releases, I typically stop buying it. It's the reason why I haven't bought nor played a Madden game in 5 years. Same game with a few forgettable features and an updated roster. Whereas a game I do buy yearly, NBA2K...offers enough innovation to warrant me buying the latest version. CoD...doesn't. Hell, the CoD community itself has been critical of the last three releases, MW3, BO2 and Ghosts. But they STILL BUY IT. I don't want to say they're slaves to the game, but when you look at the other options in the genre, the Battlefield, Killzone, Far Cry, Borderlands, Planetside, Counter Strike, Halo and of course more recently Titanfall and Destiny franchises...all of them offer variety in their approach to the genre rather then the "aim, shoot, kill, repeat" style that's been CoD for the better part of the decade now. Variety that requires more then what CoD does to succeed. I've said this on numerous other forums and social media outlets...take an above average player BF4 player and put them in CoD's multiplayer, and within a few matches they'll be melting other people. Put an elite CoD player in BF4 and watch THEM be the ones to get melted. It's true when they say there's no FPS game like CoD. Because CoD is as basic an FPS game as it gets. Twitch reflexes and high ROF weapons remain king of the CoD competitive scene. Almost every Youtuber I've seen play CoD uses sub-machine guns. And let's not even go into the perks system. "let's reward people who get lots of kills with ways to get even MORE kills". Like I've said before on this very forum, I remember when the reward you got for killing a crap ton of people in a match was having those people try to hunt you down for revenge. Again, this falls back to the "casual 1st" aspect of CoD. In closing, CoD = easy mode. It's easy to play. It's easy to succeed in. It's easy to be a 1 person army. Apparently, that's enough to appease millions of people annually. Or at least it was, as there's been a steady decline in sales of the series the last 3 releases. I don't see AW doing much better. I'd say the only reason it'd sell anything close to a significant number is because it's being released across all platforms, current gen, past gen and PC...but so did Ghosts...and Activision still hasn't cracked the "Billion" dollar mark they so adamantly said they were going to reclaim from Rockstar. Like I said, long read. Hopefully people make it to the end of this post.

[quote]most terrible AAA game[/quote]Looking at [url=https://secure.us.playstation.com/logged-in/trophies/public-trophies/?onlinename=El%20Burbujas]your game list[/url] you do have an odd playlist ... a [b]LOT[/b] of your games don't even make it to double digit percentages before you give up on them. Obviously didn't mind Ghosts that much as it did a lot better than many others. Can see your favorite - "Sly 2" - got to 97% ... and the others in that series also got you going. Guessing those cartoon style kids games appeal to you a lot more? [quote]more of a Halo guy[/quote]Would not have thought so ... [url=http://www.xboxgamertag.com/search/El-Burbujas/]given Halo 3 has not been played for [b]over a year[/b][/url]. The only "halo" you have touched in the last year was Halo 4 ([i]and your a brave man for calling that Halo here on bungie.net[/i]) Hopefully the Teen rating of Destiny will remind you of Sly 2.
