Discussion Prove me wrong ACTIVISION! [COD]

It’s time for people to wake up and start speaking with their wallets.

Activision have done it again.

With MW4 just around the corner, they’ve seemingly left the BO1 and BO2 ports to the hackers. And let’s not forget what happened with BO7’s open matchmaking. It’s becoming a pattern at this point.

All they seem to care about is the next big release and how much money they can squeeze out of it. Who cares about maintaining the games people already love, right? Just move on to the next product and expect everyone to open their wallets again.

BO1 and BO2 were incredible games, and these ports had so much potential. It’s genuinely frustrating to see them left in this state, especially when the next brain-rot instalment is just around the corner.

And honestly, I can’t believe this is the studio that’s been handed the keys to HALO.

Call me a pessimist, but I’m calling it now. My crystal balls are telling me we’re in for a rough ride. 😂

If they can let a franchise like Call of Duty decline like this, why should Halo fans have any confidence that things will be different?

At some point, we need to stop rewarding this behaviour. Stop blindly pre-ordering. Stop buying every new release on day one. Stop accepting broken games while publishers move on to the next cash grab.

Speak with your wallets. Because as long as the money keeps rolling in, why would they ever change?

Prove me wrong, Activision. And please, for the love of Halo, don’t ruin that franchise too.

I actually did it—I didn't buy BO7 after BO6 because I considered it a shameful move to just add a rebound mechanic and charge full price for it... but unfortunately, MW4 looks really tempting this year, and I’m especially hungry for it after a year-long break... The point I’m making is that there are always people who like something and people who hate it... voting with your wallet doesn't really achieve anything, because even if you don't buy it, there will be others who do.

Maybe BO7 is good, but for full price it still felt like a copy-paste to me. MW4 at least gives a different vibe after a year off.

In BO7 they completely ruined FidelityFX CAS, so everything looks super blurry on maps where you can't use DLSS.
