That's what Star Wars Battlefront, thought as well.

Yes mate because unlike realistic war campaigns which are massively rare, we get Star War campaigns every year. 

It's really ironic how people brand Activision from being profit hoarders, yet they can't acknowledge that dropping it makes sense from a financial perspective. 

Except those franchises you mentioned don't even have annual releases and some of them you listed such as Far Cry, don't have at all similar experiences to CoD and it's far longer too ... 

Good for you and the others if you like the new game mode or multiplayer but that doesn't mean that single player campaigns isn't a large portion of CoD customers including some of them that never finish it just like how some don't touch the MP for more than 3 hours ... 

I've completed Call of Duty 1, 2, Modern Warfare, Modern Warfare 2, Black Ops, World at War, Ghosts and set to do WW2 in the next few months.

Black Ops 3 on 7th gen had no campaign.

I don't see how getting less for your coin is a good thing... Yet looking at this thread, several people like getting less bang for your buck, I just don't get it.
Money shouldn't even be part of the equation for a multi-billion dollar franchise like Call of Duty.

Which is probably why we have competition in the first place ... 

Sad since I actually thought that all CoD games up to date were worth getting at a discounted price just for the campaign alone ... 

Online only ? The content is simply not worth the disc it's pressed on since Activision releases a new entry every year ... (I would only find it acceptable if they were being serious about making the new game as a long-term service instead of been offered a new annual subscription service every year)

Just wondering, do you actually pay 60 bones just to play the COD campaign.  Usually the campaign doesn't last more than 5 hours tops.  That is a lot of money for something with very little replay value.

On another note, if the game will have like 9 mini campaign for each specialist and each one will have the COD over the top feel, is this just a revision of one complete campaign instead.  Just wondering because people seem to be making a lot of assumptions without any clear ideal how those parts will shape out.  

Not usually. I wait a few months, and get it when it's around $30 or less. I don't play multiplayer on any games though. I just get bored with multiplayer aspects of most games.

Also, i almost always trade my games with somebody on GameTZ, when i'm done with them, for another game that i want.

I am pretty much the same way.  I usually play the co-op mode, zombies with my kids and the campaign.  I rarely go online to play so I can see why some people would be turned off on this COD.  With that said, I am also not the person who will Pay 60 bones to play the game and thus may not be the target market for this series.

Tell that to the 35% of WWII's playerbase who have less than 10 kills online. In other words, they're cutting out more than a third of their buyerbase with this move that they'll have to recoup with the BR microtransactions that will most certainly be there, and that's just to break even. They'll have to surpass that if they want to go green from cutting it out.

I wouldn't say a game that's 10 years old will give an accurate idea at all...
