With each specialist having their own mini campaign does this not do the same thing.  If anything, it seems that COD is more focus on what they do best which is the MP.  From reading this thread and others, for the people who really care about a full Campaign, they pretty much left COD a long time ago so I kind of doubt another COD campaign will pull them back in.  It seems smart to build more towards what the current  community will pay 60 bones for not the people who will pick up your game used at a 10th of its cost.

1. What it’s lacking in SP, it has extra content elsewhere compared to past CoD games. More zombie content, more MP content, new narrative content for each specialist, and the BR mode. They might be offering something different, that doesn’t mean less.

2. Do you know the price of the game? I’d assume it’s $60, but maybe you know more since you say they’re getting more money.

3. Less work? Does all the new content just make itself? Plus with way more MP focused content that comes with way more testing and balancing and work fixing the game. People realize CoD has reused assets in the SP for years, yes? Models, buildings, vehicles, etc. I wouldn’t be surprised if this actually required more work on the devs part, or at least close to it.

4. I think this will result in lower sales for the game. And in their overrreactions, people forget CoD is an annual franchise with three developers. It will be hilarious if we see Infinite Warfare 2 next year with a full SP campaign. Just because they do one thing for Blops doesn’t mean the whole franchise is headed that way.

Well they had to do something to keep up with the Jonses. Fortnite is eating everything alive

Agreed. Just Activision cashing in in on a fad.

It's going to end up going the way of Star Wars Battlefront. No campaign, so sales were much lower than expected. The next one they added a campaign, but so many people felt burned by the previous one, that still not as many people bought it, as expected.

No it isn't mate.

You call it a "cash grab" on the BR mode, yet we haven't seen any gameplay. Call of Duty has almost been the same for the past decade, a BR mode is actually some fresh air for the franchise, regardless if it is motivated by the demands of the market.

All that matters is if the mode is great.

Also COD is a multiplayer focused game, people don't buy it for the campaign and Activision have the statistics to prove so. This frees up resources and allows studios to spend more on the multiplayer. If this results in the same bland old multiplayer that we've previously had, then by all means bash on them. But if it does improve the multiplayer then it is a welcomed change.

I like COD as a full package with SP and MP. But for MP alone? I'll pass. Its a shame, cause the COD wwii campaign was pretty decent, to be honest.

Guess I'll switch to Battlefield this year..

Great mate, Activision doesn't want to cater to the single player market. Instead you can buy Doom and Far Cry, and Wolfenstein. 

Yes, there are those of us that buy it for and only play the campaign. Not everybody plays the multiplayer stuff.

If that number was any significant then they wouldn't cut the campaign, but it isn't.
