We don't really want it, we're just mad we don't have it yet. We won't buy it either once the year of exclusivity is over. I'm not buying a game for $60 dollars without a single play campaign.

Well why do you have picth and fork if the game doesn't interest you?

I don't see you guys saying anything about Metal Gear Legacy besides in your face xbox fans.

I just don't like people lying to me. It's exclusive to the MS family because MS made sure of it. That's all.

Because it is not an Xbone exclusive?


Dont you think it is about time to drop the "xbone" term?  Isnt it easier to just type x1?  Unless you are trying to be derogatory...

Microsoft can easily buy the ip if it does well. It might be the new COD of next gen. I cant wait to play it :)


Easily buy the IP?  If respawn retain ownership of the ip maybe, but Im sure EA is pretty heavily invested in the IP.  I doubt it would be easy.

They said it was exclusive from the beggining. You don't play a multiplayer only game.

I don't see whats the fuss about but because it's on a MS console. Japanese devs constantly snub Xbox but we don't say anything about it.

Because Microsoft payed for it. Obviously. The whole "cloud" argument becomes useless when you see its also coming to Xbox 360 and PC. Besides, the Azure servers can be used for any platform, even PS3/PS4 if the developers pay for them.

No, I won't buy a multiplayer only game for $60, I see it as a plus. But I enjoy a great single play game.

Why is Call of Duty popular?
1. It was innovative and unique in a time of WW2 era shooters and brought the genre into modern-day setting
   -Perks
   -Killstreaks
   -Amazing graphics for its time

2. Activision muscle supporting it. This is the company that brought us Tony Hawk and Guitar Hero franchises.
  - Amazing marketing
  -Games penetrate pop culture

3. Yearly release Cycle
  -Keeps games feeling fresh while still familiar
  -Brings in millions(billions?) of dollars of profit
  -Multiplatform. It's on everything, even the Wii.

Titanfall is being published by EA, the worst company in America, its not innovative and it is not multiplatform. Titanfall is not the "next Call of Duty". The timed-exclusive agreement with Microsoft killed any chance of that.

Well, it took the call of duty brand a few games before it started getting huge traction.  Titanfall could turn into the next cod eventually.  Also, activision is really not any better than EA.

Activsion is much better than EA at marketing their games and turning them into cultural phenomena.
EA pretty much are just copycats.

EA's answer to Tony Hawk = Skate
Guitar Hero = Rockband
Call of Duty = Battelfield(they tried with Medal of Honor but it didn't take)

EA just has too many games to market while Activison focuses on a few select few.
