So after Starfield and MW3 flopping, did MS buy crap studios?

Staflop has less concurrent players than Skyrim now on steam and MW3...yeah what a mess.

MW3 would be good if they didn't ruin multiplayer with Skill based matchmaking.

They either need to go back to the old match making system. Or make it strictly a ranked play competitive game. Not this bs.

Hey now, they have Marvel's Spiderman! 2! You know, more Marvel superhero chit! 4 REAL gamers!

Just LMAO @ these clowns always obsessively hating anything/anyone that isn't a part of their little group. Total echo-chamber cases. You can tell they're a bunch of "lives on the internet" nerds who probably have no ability of communicate with anyone outside of their toxic e-clique. Birds of a feather and all that, what losers.

They have to keep it accessible for children and young teens/xcucks who want participation trophies - the target audience

Ironically enough it's basically the final game that is a result of the COD deal Sony made with Activision.

That said no, it still prints money because e-sports.

I thought Microsoft took a totally hands off approach with letting them do Starfield, and it was pretty much just all Bethesda sucking ass?

Idk I thought I remembered reading that somewhere

Most of those casuals don't care about how they perform. They just wanna get high and shoot some people, they don't care if they go 4-20.


Their core fanbase is dropping their games faster than ever. They don't wanna have to sweat their asses off every single game. brb "here's some bs challenges to complete every match if you want the decent guns/perks, but wait we're going to put you against MLG pros using the OP guns. Good luck fam!"

Neither acquisition is looking great for MS at the moment IMO, however either is Sony acquiring Bungie. Most smart acquisitions aren't made from feeling pressured.

I still think cod has great gunplay and is fun but the gun attachment grind alone is what stops me from playing Warzone. I don't want to play MP but it's the only way to level up guns for Warzone with any type of efficiency.

I just don't have the time or desire to go play mp for hours because I have to grind for the meta weapon load out or else get run over by the people who do.

If Warzone went pubg/apex style and removed loadouts in favor of ground loot, it would be a such a better battle royal.



Idc about sbmm, it's always going to put me in sweat lobbies, because I'm a sweat. It wouldn't be fair to stick me in lobbies with noobs honestly so I get it. Little Timmy on hisxbxo series s at 30fps shouldn't be in a lobby with me on pc at 200fps and 9000dpi on my mouse hitting Tony hawk 900 no scopes

Except that's how cod was for pretty much all of its existence until recent years. And nobody complained. Now everyone complains about SBMM.

I'm cool with SBMM in theory. But make it actually have a ranked system. Where you know where you actually stand. I mean don't games like Counter Strike and Overwatch have ranked systems?

COD needs to choose what it wants to be. Either be a competitive game where you match people based on skill, or make it a casual game. Just throwing in SBMM with none of the stuff that makes SBMM actually work is just lazy.

If I wanted to sweat every game I'd play tournaments with a team. Some of my favorite times playing cod were grinding tournaments and game battles matches, but I also enjoyed dropping nukes. You're not dropping nukes in todays game.

It's one of the most popular competitive FPS with big competitions and e-sports celebrities centered around it.

But it's the most casual fps on the market? And they make a new game every year?

Agreed completely. Unranked should not have sbmm, ranked should.

Sbmm is ruining alot of games. I am an apex player now and honestly I'm not sure I could drop a 20 bomb even if I sat here all day playing hard as fuk, and I used be table to do it fairly often.

It's just to the point where these games aren't like casual after work shooters anymore. I really only play when my friends are on and I know having fun with the boys will offset any fps rage. Playing alone just simply isn't going to be any actual fun.

Never said I was a fan of it, but there is no denying the following it has.

the only way to fix COD is to make it a 2 year release. Stop the yearly releases.. but that is if you care about the actual game and not the profits... but all these fuks care about is profits

I have always done that lol, but Sonycels are a special bunch, they apparently need to obsessively hate Xbox because they can't do that.

Warzone ruined cod. Battle Royales are boring and gay.

Forget about your stats and get stomped a couple games and you’ll get casual lobbies. Current game is forcing a 1 k/d no matter what.
