The weakest CoD in years (ever?), in a year or nothing but gold releases across every platform and it still causes waves and records. No wonder this DLC was pumped up into a full game and pushed out half arsed, why try when you win without effort.
It’s exactly a DLC that Activision realised they could make people pay £70 for instead of half that. Only a few weeks after MW2 came out it was being floated that there was no COD for 2023, and instead a Ghost focused expansion would come out to fill the void.
Don’t like it don’t buy it but FFS stop with faux shock and horror. COD is of the most aggressively monetised franchises in mainstream gaming, from a company with zero scruples. Facts that have been valid for a decade or more and the regular news cycle attached to it all gets tiring.
Ignore the bugger and maybe they’ll be forced to do better next time when this sell’s poorer (you can hope at least). It’s not like this is some long awaited sequel either, just skip this one. There’s so much more to play this year in particular.
Don’t disagree with your point but it was only a 51.9/48.1 split of votes cast.
In raw numbers only 72.2% of eligible voters actually voted and so the split against the total pool was:
It is what it is and we are where we are but I feel two points quite strings about these figures:
-Little over a third of the population upset the established norm to our collective detriment on empty promises and questionable rhetoric.
It just rubs me up the wrong way how so few can affect so many on such aobg term basis. This isn’t on the scale of having you choice loose at an election as those are time limited. This was permanent and way more intrusive.
I have, for now at least. Reddit is a hard habbit to break, and maybe lemmy is just feeding that same habbit but it’s an interesting time.
I tend to think about Infinite this time of year and jump back in for a few weeks but holy shit! Let’s fucking go with firefight! I love this mode and if this is a good version it might get me to stick longer this time around.
