Can't wait to not spend my money on this.

This literally made me laugh. Completely agree and don't see why this is a surprise to anyone.

My last COD was BO3, and I don't plan on returning anytime soon. Removing the campaign was the final straw for me, and frankly I've always hated Acti more than EA. 

Well, MW4 gave me a little newfound hope with some of the old IW guys returning, but it's gonna be marred by the same Activision BS we see every year. 

When the reveal trailer showed that BO4 was a BO3 clone with grappling hooks instead of jetpacks and wall-running, it was all over for me. Throw in the removal of the campaign for a surely MTX-infested Battle Royale mode (and it will be because it's fucking Activision), the digital pre-order exclusivity bullshit and locking DLC behind a season pass that you can only get with a $100 SE, and they're begging fans to jump ship to BFV with all the free DLC they're giving away this year.

I don't know what they were thinking with all the huge AAA games offering consumer-friendly practices this year, but I seriously hope it bites them in the ass.

LOL, yes it is. Watch any gameplay footage of BO4, it plays EXACTLY the same as BO3, just without the jetpacks and wall-running and with the perhaps equally-annoying grappling hook added.

It's basically BO3.5. 

Seems more like BO 2.5. That is why i preordered. Could be wrong when it comes out. 

Watch any gameplay, it's a BO3 clone minus the jetpacks and wall-running. 

And BTW, AngryJoe hit the nail on the head.

We as gamers need to band together and #BoycottBO4 like we did SWBF II. BO4 will be the first CoD I don't buy, and I thought for sure the honor would belong to an IW game (Infinite Shitfare, but MWR made me cave in). I'm not sure how successful it'll be with all the whales/corporate sheep, though.

Seems like you are part of the problem. Buying yearly COD's. This is first one i buy this gen. *shrugs* 

What was so glorious about last year's COD when loot boxes were falling down on the beach. That didn't warrant a boycott?

I buy them every year.
But this is the first time since the franchise started I will not be making a purchase, no singleplayer, no buy.

Actually enjoying my stint with Call of Duty: World War 2's story at the moment.

LMAO, someone made a new emblem in BO3 mocking Activision's greedier-than-ever business model:

I don't buy their games anyway.. but probably gamers will accept it and they'll get more money with this shitty maneuver. Let's hope they get a setdown as in BF for EA.

He has a legit reason it seems. I would be the same as him most likely if I were a COD fan. I would only buy for single player as well.

Touble is with COD and some of these other games is that I feel like they have almost become like console wars. Fans want their game to be "the" game and thus regardless of how shitty it gets they will still buy it. It's their team, essentially. CoD versus Battlefield or some shit. They can brag it sold more, or has more concurrent players ect.
