Call of duty needed a couple of years to become one of the best selling franchises but that was accomplish with awareness and improved install base, heck even COD 4 never did the same numbers latest COD did and it was considered the best COD so far. So it's a shame that this game had to be kept as an xbox and PC platform, it have the potential to become the next COD but with limited audience, it won't accomplish it.


Titanfall can do EXACTLY what CoD did this gen.

CoD2 was PC and 360 only. CoD3 came to both consoles and did ok. What made CoD take off was an incredible game hitting at just the right time. Titanfall 2 could easily hit both consoles in early 2016 or even late 2015 and make the franchise take off.

Dissagree, people started looking at the online gameplay COD offer when it was a multiplatform game starting with COD 4.  If I'm not mistaken, COD 3 were a single player only game cause the online component was crap, so tecnically nobody care about the franchise until COD 4.  Titanfall is a new brand online game right out of the gate, so in order to attract those COD players and sells COD numbers, it needs every install base it can get.  The same that happen with Battlefield 3, even if it's the 3 installment, for a lot of ps3 owners was the first battlefield but thanks to the awareness of a huge online game, it sells huge on ps3.

CoD3 had great MP and Treyarch/Grey Matter are actually the ones who implemented many of the features made popular by CoD4, like rank ups, levels, "perks", etc. It didn't have the marketing push that CoD4 had though and IIRC the PS3 version was rushed for launch and was shit. The thing that really made CoD4 explode was the MP beta. Everyone was waiting for Halo 3 and that beta made a lot of people simply forget about Halo 3. The beta was immensely popular and was just that damn good.

Titanfall will have a huge marketing push and by all indications, will be an amazing shooter. Titanfall 2 on both next gen consoles, barring some development disaster, will put up amazing numbers. It might even match the 15 million or whatever CoD4 put up, mostly because unlike with CoD, there won't be a Titanfall: Mech War or some shit one year later to steal some of its sales.
