I have pity so I'll bump this Call of Duty thread on /v/

>>389657615
It's like the developers know the game is complete shit because they won't have an open beta. This game may be the nail in the coffin for COD. There might not be a COD game in 2019 and later.

>>389657615
but call of duty sales numbers have plummeted the last few years

I haven't bought a CoD since MW 2, but I'll keep an eye on this one. I like WW2 games, but they peaked with CoD 2.

>embarrassingly shit graphics
They're good to decent.
>literally ZERO recoil
Untrue. Just objectively wrong.
>fast ttk reducing any skill
It has always been like this, plus the skill in CoD isn't in getting kills, it's in getting as many as you can without dying, despite that fast TTK and the chaos.
>instant respawns so ADHD children don't get bored
Only a handful of normal game-modes have instant respawn and literally none of the Hardcore modes have instant respawn.
>tiny, shit looking maps that all look the same
There's nothing wrong with being small, it's like shitting on TF2 or Quake maps. I guess DM17 is small, so is KotH_Viaduct, does that mean they're shit? Why even say "they all look the same? Are you implying Mediterranian sea-forts, snowy medieval ruins in a forest, and war-torn urban areas look the same? Again, why even say something that's literally, factually wrong?
>kill streaks are boring
And if they weren't you'd complain that they were overpowered, this is an even dumber criticism considering it's coming from someone that's already complaining about the TTK.

Don't you have some Neptunia game or SMT spin-off to be playing, kiddo?

>>389658619
>won't have an open beta.
They've literally had 2 so far, you stupid fuck.

>>389659018
They were both for those who pre-ordered only, smartass.

This whole trend "get access to multiplayer beta's by pre-ordering" needs to fucking stop.

The series clearly isn't dying, considering the best selling game yet came out in 2016, you dimp. And even if, IF it were dying, it would still sell more than anything else. It reminds me of the Final Fantasy XIV retards who claim why is dead/dying while their game is killing it, despite the fact that WoW at its lowest still had over twice the subs of XIV at its peak.

>>389659340
Just do the Amazon pre-order trick.

>>389658941
>Untrue. Just objectively wrong.
No, it's true. None of the weapons have recoil. Not only that, but the guns all sounds like dogshit.

>>389657615
the game is supposed to be very arcady fps with fast gameplay, how hard is it to get it?

>>389659403
Look at this damage control.

You don't include Infinity Warfare knowing the sales are wayyyy less than BO3.

>>389657615
>The sad part is that this game will sell because every normalcuck needs to buy the same shitty reskinned cod every year.

Nope, chads and normalcucks are too busy getting chicken dinners in PUBG to deal with CoD.
CoD WWII will sell either the same amount of copies as the last CoD (stagnation) or 10-20% fewer.

Screencap this.

the whole playerbase of this game appeals to normies who buy the "big games" every year for the sake of it and eat every open world ubisoft steaming pile of shit possible. the low skill floor and ceiling in cod literally makes it so any faggot can be good and jump right in with basic knowledge of a controller, as this is at the end of the day a shitty console shooter for faggots

>>389659403
Can you give me actual financial statements from Activision and not some third party who doesn't even have sources? Plus, this site is BS. Advanced warfare sold less than Ghosts, not more.

>>389659625
The article the guy listed has no data for IW since it was written in 2016. He probably meant 2015.

Regardless it's not hard to predict dips. Treyarch games are going to be the series crests, IW titles are going to be the troughs, and Sledgehammer will be somewhere in-between.

>>389659625
>Facts are damage control
Really?

>You don't include Infinity Warfare knowing the sales are wayyyy less than BO3.
No, if you'd actually look at the link you'd see I didn't include it because they don't have sales numbers listed for it yet. It obviously sold worse, but that doesn't change the fact that the best selling game in the franchise came out in 2015. No matter how you slice it, there's no downward trend. "CoD is dying" is literally a meme that exists only in the head of /v/irgins and redditors.

Nope, I know a lot of Normies who I can see buying CoD and probably around 4 of them have even heard of PubG, it may be immensely popular but not with the normies

>>389659403
Where does this website get its data from? Just telling me the source is Activision means nothing, especially when Activision doesn't release sales info on Call of Duty. Neither does NPD. We know it sells a lot but where exactly is he getting these numbers from? VGchartz?

>>389659942

Plus Infinite Warfare was the best selling game of 2016, even if it sold less than the others.

You can scream and nit-pick all you want, but it doesn't change the fact that CoD isn't dying. If anything it's growing despite fluctuating.

>>389660215
>Nope, I know a lot of Normies who I can see buying CoD and probably around 4 of them have even heard of PubG, it may be immensely popular but not with the normies

Where do you live, just out of curiosity? Because I'm not memeing when I say the chads and normies that I know are mad about this game, but where I'm from in Scotland, PC gaming has been mainstream since the 80's, you find that gen Xers tend to have PC + PlayStation whilst poor millennials have only one or the other.

are you the same people that cry about battlefield 1 not being realistic?

>>389660382
That isn't a financial statement from Activision, and that doesn't mention how many copies it sold. Everyone knows Infinite Warfare sold the most, but it still sold a lot less than every other CoD released over the last half decade. It reportedly sold 50% less than Black Ops 3, but no one knows how much Black Ops 3 sold because Activision doesn't release sales numbers on Call of Duty games, they just release how much money the games lake but that isn't a good indicator of sales because that's just money made, which counts DLC, loot crate purchase, etc. I'mm still waiting for an actual source from activation specifying how many copies each CoD game has sold. NPD doesn't release sales numbers, it's just a placement chart.

>>389660228
Just look at Activisions own financial reports.

>"For Activision, Call of Duty: Infinite
Warfare may have got a little lost in
space, but Call of Duty remained the
number one console franchise globally,
and we’re looking forward to new
Call of Duty content and Destiny 2 "

You can scream and pout all you want on /v/, while making Persona 5 and "I WANT TO FUCK 2B!" threads, but Call of Duty is literally the most successful franchise of the past 20 years.

http://investor.activision.com/annual-reports.cfm

>>389660771
I have, they don't mention actual units sold there either. They just comment on how much money the game has made them. That isn't a sales number.

>>389660636
So it sold """""bad,""""" but was still the best selling game of 2016? Damn, you sure showed me.

>>389660771
maybe one day this normalcuck shit show will end

>>389659571
You are outright lying and absolutely retarded.
The kick on the WWII weapons are all pretty high, each of them climbs significantly. The only ones with low recoil are the Grease Gun and Bren because their rates of fire are so low, but even those climb up a bit.

>>389660931

So this is all pretty dependant on what you consider normie

>>389660432
I live in south of England, but go to uni in Nottingham. Last year between my normie friend there was 6 PS4s that all functioned as Fifa/GTA/BF/CoD and Rocket League machines, I know two people who I consider normie who play PubG and there are a few more who play but certainly aren't normie

The vast majority of them have laptops and don't consider gaming on them

>>389660632
It may be a normie tier game but they don't know it exists or if they do they don't want to play, or they want to play but only with friends and they don't have friends who want to play

Normies don't know/care about Twitch streamers

all cod games can be boiled down to constantly aiming down sights and spraying a smg non stop

>>389661540
>low skill floor
Just like Chess or Street Fighter? There is literally nothing wrong with a low skill floor.

>absolute monotonous cancer
Meanwhile the games YOU play are veritable cornucopias of variety and excitement? Fuck off and learn the difference between facts and opinions. Clearly there's something there considering the sales numbers.

I don't even like CoD but I can't stand retards like you. You're like the little kid at recess getting mad because you want to play Red Rover when everyone else is playing Kickball.

>>389660931
>The kick on the WWII weapons are all pretty high
t. didn't play the beta
Most of the guns has piss poor weapon recoil to the point where you can play the game and compensate for the "Recoil" on a fucking controller.

>>389661737
I'm from the east midlands too, and the normies around here are going mad over the game, since they actually have friends to play with.

>>389661783
Yeah, "boiled down," you can boil down anything. That's why it's a stupid fucking argumentative technique.

>>389657615
I tend to atleast redbox every Call of Duty game for the single player, and they're fun as shit.

>>389659403
>considering the best selling game yet came out in 2016

>>389661785
Discounting RNG, the game plays the same every match, in which you loot, get weapons and fight over and over and over. In groups it seems to be better but in solo it's just a large deathmatch.

>>389661889

>the game plays the same every match
The opposite is true, hence why it's so popular. I hate to keep making analogies to other games, but it's like chess: I guess it plays the same every match because you have the same number of squares and the same pieces? Does Street Fighter always play the same because you always have two characters on a flat plane? Does Quake always play the same because you have the same maps with weapons spawning in the same places? You can reduce anything to the level of retardation, so why do it?

>>389662398

I really hope you don't take this website as some kind of bible on sales info when Activision themselves never actually say how many copies CoD sells.

>>389662556
Check VG charts or the prior-linked Activision Financial yearlies. Even legitimate third parties like the NPD show CoD is still a a massive behemoth that dwarfs every other franchise. Games that /v/ considers "successful" like Splatoon and Persona 5 sell only a fraction of the copies that any given CoD on a single platform sells.

>>389657615
If you ask for a longer TTK you don't know what you're talking about.

Engagements usually are so short (in any FPS) that if the TTK is sufficiently long enough, it gets really difficult and frustrating to kill someone.

I played planetside 2 for a while and that game is bigger in every aspect of FPS.
There's more stuff to shoot, faster moving shit, more space, more actual dangerous vehicles.

Once you start to shoot a person and they have proper reaction time you will probably not be able to kill him.

Combine the utter shite recoil of the guns, the guns shooting actual projectiles as opposed to being hitscan, the enemy's reaction speed and usage of cover and their allies and lastly the TTK, it gets a heck of a lot more difficult to kill people let alone be a CoD kiddie with a streak of higher than 2:1 without cheesing.

KEK, Vgcharts is not a source of valid info. They make up their numbers, as stated by the owner of the website, and a lot of their sales info is wrong. As as already stated ITT: Activision has never releases sales info for any of the Call of Duty games. The most they do release is how much money they have made off of the brand, they never ever comment on how many copies each of the yearly releases has sold since launch. Telling people to look at financial statements means nothing because those financial statements don't release units sold, only money made, and that counts DLC not to mention that the games go on sale repeatedly.

It's a wonder what the CoD vs. WoW incomes are.

>>389666936
There's no public release of the sales figures then, but every other metric points to the massive success of the franchise.

Not for a game that developers claimed to be "authentic".

>>389667250
No one was arguing against CoD popularity, all I wanted was sources on the sales units but you just acted like a retard pretending to be smart when you're actually retarded.
>If it's so easy, you should be able to find a single source that refutes me.
NPD themselves show that they don't release sales info (source: any NPD release). Activision doesn't ever release sales units on Call of Duty, even in their financial statements (source: look at the financial statements, even the one you posted ITT), and VGChartz is an illegitimate website. You've done absolutely nothing but prance around like an idiot whenever I point these things out and still refuse to give me these supposed sources from activision that comment on units sold.

>>389667691
Well thankfully im neither a developer nor an autist, I just enjoy fun games

>>389667691
