Remember when they heavily implied mw2 waa going to be a 2 year game up to launch, then quickly back pedaled a month in to launch? Remember when they had multiple multiplayer maps in the game from day 1 launch that STILL have yet to appear in multiplayer? Remember when they filled warzone with at least 6 throwback maps that have still never been added to multiplayer?

Do not buy this game. If you are going to buy it, do not pre order it. If you're determined to get early access beta then wait until the very last second to pre order it, then cancel your pre order after the beta. Speak with your goddamm dollars and stop throwing money at the largest video game conglomerate in the world just to bitch about the half assed product they'll have waiting on you.

If you pre-order and then cancel, would you keep access to Soap in Warzone?

Probably. In the past once it's in your account, it's yours

I always enjoyed the single player campaigns during the Xbox 360 era, so the "remade" trilogy is making me a bit nostalgic. Not nostalgic enough to pay 60 (?) Euros for a maximum of 8 hours of game time though.

Lol there is no gameplay in the video despite their title.

[–] SandLight@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

It's ok, if you want to see some gameplay you can probably watch the previous game.

Pretty classic Call of Duty move. They always show these scripted sequences and claim it's gameplay just because it's not pre-rendered.

As much as I hope this will flop, it’ll probably sell really well.

I wasted my money on MWII and Vamguard, I’m not making the same mistake again

Launching the base game with as few maps as we got and then only releasing one new map and another remastered map that vanguard had one year prior really soured my relationship with the game and made me quit it.

They’ll pull similar shit with MWIII which is why I won’t buy any Call of Duty game anymore. Let’s hope XDefiant turns out good.

It was supposed to be an expansion for MW2 Year 2 and they once again did the thing to get more easy money. It's also hillarious how Infinity Ward is forced to destroy they're rep with how mw2 is poorly handled so it gives hype and good hopes for upcoming game. Classic COD cycle.

This game released in 2011.
