Only about half of the people finish the single player campaign in Call of Duty games. So they do sell 25 million a year on the strength of multiplayer. Yes this for all of those writing off the game because it is multiplayer only.

How many of you know it all people would spend 60-70% of your resources on single player when you know only 1 in 5 people will bother with them?

My personal opinions on multiplayer may not match up to the 20 million COD fans... but does that mean those of us who generally prefer single player games are not allowed an opinion?

I mean look at warthunder and world of tanks, amazingly successful... doesnt mean i want to play them :)

My friend i do play all the campigns of Call of Duty games. So i am one of the few who actually is their prospective customer when it comes to single player. I was merely pointing out that people don't understand that they are a new developer. Yes they have the pedigree of Call of Duty but even they could not secure the same kind of budget to play around as they did with Activision. 

A team of 70 people really have to priorotize how they go about making their games as in today's world that is at most mid tier developer size. So i fully understand and support their idea of going multiplayer focus with mix of AI enemies. Also the fact that this is new ip that we didn't even knew existed just a couple of months ago but now all of a sudden we are suppose to write it off by writing poorly written forum posts. I mean they could have cut the price down but just like any game the first batch of people who buy the game have no problem paying retail price. Heck sometimes even more when it comes to special/limited editions of games. So price drop will come naturally. 

Also World of Tanks doesn't reaise any exitement in me either. Don't know about Warthunder. Thanks :)
