    The new insert sports game here is nothing more than a $65 roster update
    These cod games ate nothing more than a $65 new maps and guns
    When you look past the new additions 3arc put into this game it's just another cod game that you'll pay for $65 then grow tired of it and then be "excited" for the next one. You can have just as much fun in this new cod as any of the older ones. Sigh I just don't understand it and I'm not trying to flame I'm just being brutally honest here.

    This opera's as lousy as it is brilliant! Your lyrics lack subtlety. You can't just have your characters announce how they feel. That makes me feel angry!

    Because people enjoy them.

    And honestly, aside from MW3 every CoD has been fairly different.

    Why though? Why do people constantly pay $65 for the SAME freaking game every year. They'll be hype up, then buy it, complain for a year, rinse and repeat. Call of duty isn't a game, it's a brand. Somehow business managers are able to get people to buy theses products all the time like it's program into people's mind to buy it.

    Because it's clearly not the same game every year. MW3 was a rehash/downgrade of MW2, outside of that each game has been different from the last.

    It's not like the developers are going to flip the formula upside down for a sequel.

    What you dont realise is that the majority of the FPS community live, breath and play COD, thats why the franchise still is king, the masses are provided with a fast paced FPS accessable by all but the very few. Make no judgements I love BF and Halo but im stating the facts that COD will riegn suppreme!

    This is a message board. I don't care about my spelling or grammar on GFaqs. You don't like my grammar mistakes? Get over it.

    Did you really just say look past the new additions just to justify your argument? That's the worst way to say a game isn't different, saying to look past everything new there is so you see it's the same.

    Am I the only ones who thinks that was a moronic opening argument?

    Do you know how much replay value people get from a Cod game? Single player campaign, zombies, multiplayer. Days of playtime for some, weeks for others and months for the die hard fans. It's worth it to be honest. A sports game I don't feel is because not as much changes but if you play it a ton then it'll be worth it. Isn't it better than paying the same price for a single player game that you will only get 6-12 hours out of unless you are a completionist?

    why people watch the same game every year ? why people watch the same show every week ? why people eat the same food every so often ? why do we enter these same topics every time they pop up ?

    In the UK, you go out for a PROPER night out you're gonna spend 150 bucks minimum. Compared to the value of cod, the people who whine about price are people who get their mammies to buy it for birthday/Xmas. It's nothing

    The thing I don't seem to understand is that all the inevitable complaints are going to be the same complaints as before and some of you will say that last year's cod was better when they're same game as before. I'm sorry but I just can't see how you guys will be spending $65 minimal for the same game that will just utter yet another copy next year. The game has a 2 hour campaign, a mini game that's suppose to be a full fledge co op mode and the usual multiplayer with new guns you're complain about being over powered and maps where you'll complain about campers, spawn trappers, not to mention people are idiots online and playing with squeaky 8 year olds isn't fun at all.

    first of all this is a stupid thread primarily because you will most likely be one of the millions to buy this game. second if you're waiting for halo 4 wii u and that other nonsense you've listed you can't be far off from those 8 year olds. every game will have complainers but that doesn't change how good a game is. that just means people like you only post about topics that annoy you. the rest of us would rather enjoy the game. there arent any games I have put more time into compared to cod(excluding mw3). I still play bops as much as I did when it was released. these companies like money just as much as we like playing their games. games have always cost this much. maybe not all of them but I still remember buying n64 games for $50. an extra $15 ain't that big of a difference.
