I think that COD gamers play it because of the multiplayer and not the single player campaign. Just about everyone knows this. Any game that's mainly a single player experience with a complimentary multiplayer won't be affected by this.

i just dont see the hype, just looks like typical ol cod multiplayer,nothing special, but eh to each their own

The Campaign in CoD has always been a good way to introduce players to the mechanics of the game. It's not needed, but it's a good buffer.

Read the thread. Several people care.
Most =/= All.

False.

Besides, Call of Duty directly competes with Battlefield... Guess who gets a purchase from me and who doesn't? ;)

Well, we already have Overwatch and Battlefront without single. EA and Activision - worst enemy of every true gamers.

And this idea is really strange. Main competitor - Battlefield, better than CoD in almost every aspects. Graphics, shooting mechanic, destructible environment, war machines. Only single campaign was better in CoD.

It's one of the few times I see a game name and don't want to see anything else about it, would make me worry if it caught on, I'm not sure I could handle playing Final Fantasy IIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Of course it will be riddled with microtransactions and pay to win BS of all sorts plus maybe new dirty tricks. It's Activision that we are talking about here, one of the evil 4 (EA, Activision, Ubisoft, Konami).

So don't expect consumer friendly behaviors from these companies ever again, only by totally mass boycotting those publishers can people hope for change and well, the Star Wars Battlefront debacle showed that people (Whales) kept buying and paying whatever. I heard they made a crap load of money off microtransactions and they recently announced that these GaaS models are here to stay, regardless of prosecution in some European countries.

For the time being I don't really care since the games I love are not impacted, all the generic mass games like COD, Battlefront, GTA, Shadow of Mordor, Tom Clancy etc are not games I care about even if they had never been sullied by lootboxes and the likes. As long as my Dark Souls, The Last of Us, God of War, The Witness, Bloodborne etc sort of games are clean I don't really care. Well I'd love to care but it's not like my caring will make people get wiser. Your asses are owned by the evil 4 and your games are beyond saving, sorry and good luck.

It's a dying franchise anyway. Let them fuck it up for all I care. It'll just speed things up that were already set in motion.

Gotta give you props for actually counting out each and every key stroke. Impressive lol.

It sends a message that some gamers simply prefer multiplayer experiences than the tired scripted AI formula which for a shooter - makes little sense given where technology is at.

I welcome and prefer multiplayer gaming. Single player games are mostly dead to me.
