im one of those waiting for next gen release but after the reviews im not that hyped for it

dont think will see mw2/BO numbers till they get a new engine think they should take a break for at least a yr

Reviews? I think the outdated engine, copy and paste gameplay was enough to put many off.

We hope for that every year... but then, dumb gamers keep buying them =[

"dumb gamers"? offended I am. Why do we play games? for fun right? Cod is fun.......

I imagine some people are holding off on getting it until the launch of the next gen consoles.......

So people don't get your hopes up thinking the cod hype is dead.


it certainly isnt. but it didnt beat GTA

Unrealistic goal considering GTA crushed the record.

Also, the 8th gen ports are clearly eating into potential PS360 sales. The PS4 and X1's most pre-ordered games are CoD.

Because CoD is the reason games flop.

Nsanity spews a lot of nonsense, don't put much thought in his posts.

"dumb gamers"? offended I am. Why do we play games? for fun right? Cod is fun.......

That is your take on fun... Paying 60 dollars for the same content every year for me is dumb.

If they feel it provides them $60 of entertainment, what's the problem?

Are you in a 3rd world country? Is $60 annuallty a lot of money to you?

the beginning of the end?

Or is it just because BlackOps was established with the first game and Ghost is a "new series"?

I hope its the beginning of the end.

Lets say people would have stopped buying COD 4 years ago and wont buy this and 2014s COD then they basically saved their money for a PS4.

I would rather have a PS4 than 6-7 games that are the same. 

And if you also bought Fifa and Madden then you could buy a PS4+X1+WiiU+3DS for the same money you bought 3 different games over and over again.

TBH compared to FIFA or Madden or every other generic realistic sports game  COD is great but  it still is somewhat the same. (I am pretty sure even the engine is older than most COD gamers by now rofl)

Yes I'm, and no it's not... even tough why pay yearly for the same content??? I have 120 PS3 games and no yearly franchise on it have more than 1 game (1 fifa, 1 pes is all I have of yearly franchise)... If you like to pay 60 for the same game multiple times be my guest, maybe you're just to rich...
