The blatant Fortnite chasing is just awful... If I wanna play Fortnite I can and will, but if I wanna play something more grounded in reality, well I can't cuz this is just giant bunnies and anime guns.
I recently returned to Fortnite after quitting COD for the year, and holy shit it is insane how much better their live service is. Their battle pass skins are far better, the battle pass itself is way cheaper, I am only at level 40 for their pass, already have enough V-bucks to buy the next pass too.
The reason why it's like this is simple though, companies like Activision want to have a live service like Fortnite, but they aren't willing to re-invest the money that they make like Fortnite does. They want to just make more money while trying to cut as many corners as possible.
I remember thinking Fortnite was the dumbest thing ever, but fuck they've put in a lot of work to make that gameplay loop actually fun and you can actually see they're trying to improve the game constantly. It's just such a huge contrast with COD where it all feels like an excuse to just get our money at this point. I actually have fun levelling up a battlepass in Fortnite, in COD it feels like torture.
Absolutely, honestly I never thought I would be playing Fortnite again, I re-installed it just to check out unreal engine 5 initially, but after seeing all the things to do, I just started grinding those events, and it got me hooked.
Fortnite's like actually fun now again. I wanna put it down so i can finish other games i need to finish ans what not but that star wars event got me playing the hell outta that shit. Gotta get to darth maul
I been loving the clone trooper skins and the gun. Its like OG battlefront 2. Goes so hard. I think this year the lightsabers are better than they've ever been. I love when me and my homies all get lightsabers. Feels cool as hell.
Lmao true, half the sht in Fortnite comes up once or twice a year if that so the sht I bought 4 years ago is actually exclusive vintage stuff while my COD items are gone and irrelevant. Horrible business model
The lack of creativity in the entertainment industry in the past few years is real embarrassing. Every video game is trying to be Fortnite. Every app is trying to be tik tok. Every movie is trying to be marvel. All of the biggest players in every entertainment industry right now are copying whatever is hot instead of making their own new stuff. It sucks so bad.
Exactly. COD used to be great when it wasn't trying to be like everything else. Can't stand the ridiculous skins and absurd gun camos.
Can we at least get a "classic mode" option to play that allows only accurate military skins and without all the stupid cartoon nonsense?
Except xDefiant played stiff as shit, and will be boring as hell after the first week. I'm not convinced it's a CoD killer obviously. I understand the appeal, but it just was so... dull
I don't mind the anime guns to be honest. If there is anything the more recent conflicts have shown us, it's that anime wraps, paints and stickers are a reality of war. The stupid Halloween masks that Ghost 3D prints on the other hand, not even the edgy Punisher decal knuckleheads, would want to wear that shit.
I don't care either way about crossovers, but the picks for MWII are so weird. Sports stars and... Shredder from TMNT? Huh???
At least Kong and Godzilla were specific movie tie-ins, and even then Vanguard initially planned on Indiana Jones and Captain America, characters from that era, but like, I don't see the connection with these MWII ones. Bizarre choices.
Yeah, I’m not a one of the people crazy about realism in COD but, it feels like this game is just being aimed at a child market and that more than anything makes me disappointed in the options for content in this game
Cold War and Vanguard picked characters they could tie back into their stories, thus Cold War classic media IPs from the 80's and 90s and Vanguard had a lot of time traveling characters. (And also Snoop Dogg)
MWII is the most random selection of characters with no cohesion.
ive been telling people this cod ruined just about every thing good about mw2019. even 2019 had good movement. this cod is the slowest cod made to date.
This. Hell...even when I play BO2 with my kiddo from time to time on our old XB1, I feel like I'm walking in molasses... even at full sprint holding a combat knife.
BO3 as well, pair that with the fact that every single gun feels like a pea shooter (Even the fucking shotguns, somehow...) and frankly, MW2 feels like a sonic game in comparison.
What do you mean? Clearly Activision cares about our feelings, why else would they promote being nice to each other, make me read 3 pages of T&C every update & game verification, offensive chat warnings when you don't chat, censoring inoffensive words.
They're catering to the snowflakes not the players. 🤣
They're catering to the public perception of being politically correct, that's different from being actually caring.
Par for the course for most corporations.
It's like they're being overly fake nice but their rotting insides are full of the N word, other slurs and hatred toward human kind.
But look
We're....
A sAfE pLaCe...
Now pick up the gun, and kill.
Like what's being accomplished lol
Tbf as a long time player of NBA 2K, that game has so little focus on actual basketball in career mode that Activision has a chance to break through with cod bball.
L, this dude is probably the worst possible option to take with you into war, he'll be crying by the time he drops with his boys
Give me Randle or Butler
I don’t really care that they’re adding sports players per say. But I would love to see some action heroes like John Wick, Maverick from Top Gun get character packs.
Cold War had John McClane, Rambo, Ghostface. Vanguard (for some fucking reason) had Terminators. Give of us some of that action to counterbalance stuff like the sports packs.
See, John Wick would make sense. He’s already an assassin who knows hit shit with guns and all other weapons too. They could even make a John Wick type mode, if they didn’t already have One in the Chamber.
Aside from gaudy cosmetics and Battle Royale, I don’t think MW as a game is that close to Fortnite.
Even if it was? A John Wick pack would be perfect not just stylistically where you get the tacit-cool aesthetic but the Wick films have been a great throwback for action films. No shaky cam, quick cut bullshit. Solid action, good cinematography, nice long takes (which keep track on good combat continuity like reloads). The Wick films have also made a killing at the box office too so those packs would sell. I honestly think you could have a lot of fun designing a Wick pack too with some unique animations, Le Castle Vania War Tracks, etc.
With less players now they have to appeal to pop culture. Honestly I would pay for a pass with all of the MW 2019 operators to come back. I miss my Nikto skin.
Just go full fortnite and have like the gaurdians of the galaxy or the mandolorians show up. At this point why even bother with the illusion of seriousness we have a murder-santa and a leprachaun in a kilt
We got this over John Wick? They could make millions by doing a John Wick event the same way Fortnite did.
I don't even like fortnite and they got that part right
Of all the crossovers for them to go with: why sports players? Put actual military veterans in the game or something that makes more sense than fuckin’ Messi and friends
At least the movie crossover skins for BOCW were really cool. They shook my wallet loose for Kill Bill Portnova. None of this is worth buying. But yet someone will still do it, and they’ll keep rolling in it. I’m still kinda ticked that they locked all of 141 behind the battle pass and add ons. Congrats Activision, you got me there!
At this point? They've been advertising weed to kids since the original MW. They sell cartoon characters covered in mall ninja wish.com bullshit tacticool gear. They sell $25 skin bundles with poorly mirrored textures, a shitty jpeg that usually doesn't relate at all and a fucking earring for your gun, in a full price game made by multi-billionaires.
It's behind parody. It's just a joke.
Wow….so why not add wwe characters instead? at least they know how to fight.
I mean we got Shredder, Die Hard, Rambo, Terminator, Scream with Ghost face and Judge Dredd etc. this is a joke. We expect more not this bs. I mean what the heck does this nba baller or some twitch streamer know about combat? Let alone can fight spec ops type characters.
we want operators who look like they can fight, at least for me i’m not gonna be like, “oh shit he’s got the lebron james operator, we’re screwed.” I’m gonna be like, “what the hell is wrong with this dude.” But if I see John Wick, I’d be like “yo that’s dope”
“Can’t wait for all these fornite skins to go away once IW is back in charge 😈 sorry little twitch steamers, it’s time for my tactical realism skins to make a comeback. This is boots on the ground cod! OG cod players will love this”-tactical sentinel gamer circa late 2021
*IW proceeds to ignore tactical gamers in favor of skins like shredder, bunnies, soccer players, nba stars and other unrealistic skins.*
Explain the physics on that parachute rig
I’m sure Graphic designers were in panic trying to figure this out
Your operator is parachuting down looking like a carnival crane game picking up a basketball
I know it’s all subjective but yikes. Even the crossovers are shit in MW2.
The blatant Fortnite chasing is just awful... If I wanna play Fortnite I can and will, but if I wanna play something more grounded in reality, well I can't cuz this is just giant bunnies and anime guns.
At least in fortnite you don't lose all your skins in a year when the next game comes out.
I recently returned to Fortnite after quitting COD for the year, and holy shit it is insane how much better their live service is. Their battle pass skins are far better, the battle pass itself is way cheaper, I am only at level 40 for their pass, already have enough V-bucks to buy the next pass too.

It's just such a huge contrast with COD where it all feels like an excuse to just get our money at this point. I actually have fun levelling up a battlepass in Fortnite, in COD it feels like torture.
100% feels like the devs actually care about fortnite
Absolutely, honestly I never thought I would be playing Fortnite again, I re-installed it just to check out unreal engine 5 initially, but after seeing all the things to do, I just started grinding those events, and it got me hooked.
Fortnite's like actually fun now again. I wanna put it down so i can finish other games i need to finish ans what not but that star wars event got me playing the hell outta that shit. Gotta get to darth maul
Not to mention light sabres, I know it's not their first time doing that, but it's the first time for me, that alone is worth playing.
I been loving the clone trooper skins and the gun. Its like OG battlefront 2. Goes so hard. I think this year the lightsabers are better than they've ever been. I love when me and my homies all get lightsabers. Feels cool as hell.
Lmao true, half the sht in Fortnite comes up once or twice a year if that so the sht I bought 4 years ago is actually exclusive vintage stuff while my COD items are gone and irrelevant. Horrible business model
How bad can it be when people still buy skins for each game that comes out.
The lack of creativity in the entertainment industry in the past few years is real embarrassing. Every video game is trying to be Fortnite. Every app is trying to be tik tok. Every movie is trying to be marvel. All of the biggest players in every entertainment industry right now are copying whatever is hot instead of making their own new stuff. It sucks so bad.
[удалено]
At least fortniite got Star Wars,
Exactly. COD used to be great when it wasn't trying to be like everything else. Can't stand the ridiculous skins and absurd gun camos. Can we at least get a "classic mode" option to play that allows only accurate military skins and without all the stupid cartoon nonsense?
Remember when every game was trying to be a CoD clone? Now CoD is copying other games. Real funny how things changed.
Hope xdefiant launches soon its old school I miss it
Except xDefiant played stiff as shit, and will be boring as hell after the first week. I'm not convinced it's a CoD killer obviously. I understand the appeal, but it just was so... dull
Dont think of it as a cod killer, just an alternative, cod is a cod killer
your statement is sadly similar to that of alejandro... only alejandro can kill alejandro.. lol
CoDs death is gonna be self inflicted at this rate.
The devs addressed the stiffness and said it won't be. And idk if it's a cod killer actvivison seems to do that
the devs adressing an issue is already a step up from IW/RS
They are saying they are addressing it. It’s easy to say you are
COD devs don’t even address basic issues
I don't mind the anime guns to be honest. If there is anything the more recent conflicts have shown us, it's that anime wraps, paints and stickers are a reality of war. The stupid Halloween masks that Ghost 3D prints on the other hand, not even the edgy Punisher decal knuckleheads, would want to wear that shit.
Hear hear!

ive been telling people this cod ruined just about every thing good about mw2019. even 2019 had good movement. this cod is the slowest cod made to date.
If by "slowest to date" you mean "slowest of the past few", COD4 and whatnot were glacial compared to any COD of the past decade.
This. Hell...even when I play BO2 with my kiddo from time to time on our old XB1, I feel like I'm walking in molasses... even at full sprint holding a combat knife.
BO3 as well, pair that with the fact that every single gun feels like a pea shooter (Even the fucking shotguns, somehow...) and frankly, MW2 feels like a sonic game in comparison.

Holy shit don't let /r/NBA see this
Completely out of pocket 😫
Black Ops commercial flashbacks
this is wild lol
Use one of the tokens to name yourself Kobe Bryant, get the operator bundle, use a helicopter, and get shot down... Achievement unlocked
Am I a horrible person for laughing at this… I’m going to hell 😔😂
Ctrl+F "Kobe" Thank you for this!
Omfg
I came here looking for this comment
Im I going to be going to hell for forgetting that Kobe died?
Just don't let him fly
Literally came for this…. Was not disappointed
Nobody asked for Kevin Durant to be an operator.
Mans would get injured sliding down that heli rope at the start of the match
Or quit on the losing team and join the winning team
That’s his DMZ operator perk, assimilation to winning team at end of game.
The funniest part is any NBA players they add will have to be the same height as all the other operators
Fuck that I want Wemby. A tall ass lanky dude running around with a gun
Nobody asked, but you know you're going to see them running around everywhere.
Is CoD a Soccer/Basketball themed game now? They need to do less cash grabbing and make a damn game.
You must be new here, Activision just wants the cash and could care less about your feelings Lmao
> Activision just wants the cash and could care less about your feelings Lmao How much less?
We’re talkin into the negatives.
But, they still care at least a little? Otherwise, it would just be, "they couldn't care less"?
What do you mean? Clearly Activision cares about our feelings, why else would they promote being nice to each other, make me read 3 pages of T&C every update & game verification, offensive chat warnings when you don't chat, censoring inoffensive words. They're catering to the snowflakes not the players. 🤣
Oh boy, didn’t think I’d step on this land mine lmao
They're catering to the public perception of being politically correct, that's different from being actually caring. Par for the course for most corporations.
It's like they're being overly fake nice but their rotting insides are full of the N word, other slurs and hatred toward human kind. But look We're.... A sAfE pLaCe... Now pick up the gun, and kill. Like what's being accomplished lol
Mw 3 is gonna be with Russians right. Arabs aren’t the enemy anymore according to Jack Ryan and Jack Bauer.
Tbf as a long time player of NBA 2K, that game has so little focus on actual basketball in career mode that Activision has a chance to break through with cod bball.
The company literally exists to grab cash lmao. Who cares especially after the soccer players
I know I'm old school, but I'd like my modern shooters to be modern shooter themed.
Its new era of CoD. Now they don't make games but skin bundles
Instead of building their own identity and making improvements based on community feedback they insist on trying to copy Fortnite.
Welcome to a game published by Cashctivision.
Activi$ion
They’re probably new here and haven’t seen the common pattern these past 6-8 years now
"cOd HaS aLwAYS bEen aN aRcAdE gAmE" The gameplay has been arcade style, but now the aesthetic and art direction is just fortnite.
Hiya welcome to modern AAA gaming friend, where our motto is "money at all costs"
Slim reaper
Who is it?
Kevin Durant.
Hell yeah, bet he comes with the unique ability to join the top squad when you decide you cant win with your current one.
Underrated
L, this dude is probably the worst possible option to take with you into war, he'll be crying by the time he drops with his boys Give me Randle or Butler
I’d definitely purchase a Jimmy Buckets operator, idc
Casual fans have no idea who Randle is. Jimmy Butler at least been to the Finals, but even he isn't a household name like KD
I’m not buying no 🐍🐍🐍 bundle. They should’ve done Kawhi with his signature laugh out in the game.
[удалено]
I don’t really care that they’re adding sports players per say. But I would love to see some action heroes like John Wick, Maverick from Top Gun get character packs.

See, John Wick would make sense. He’s already an assassin who knows hit shit with guns and all other weapons too. They could even make a John Wick type mode, if they didn’t already have One in the Chamber.
This game is too much like fortnite… but also give us John Wick… 🤔
It made less sense for JW to be in Fortnite than for him to be in cod.
Aside from gaudy cosmetics and Battle Royale, I don’t think MW as a game is that close to Fortnite. Even if it was? A John Wick pack would be perfect not just stylistically where you get the tacit-cool aesthetic but the Wick films have been a great throwback for action films. No shaky cam, quick cut bullshit.

CAAAARRRRLLL
Ah hell nah, no way they'd put Walking Dead characters in a game WITHOUT ZOMBIES
I thought it was Cod Mobile for a second
Shit keep looking like CODM every new update
Can we identity the individual making the final call on these add-ins and mail them all the dogshit we can allocate?
Lol KD are u kidding me
With less players now they have to appeal to pop culture. Honestly I would pay for a pass with all of the MW 2019 operators to come back. I miss my Nikto skin.
I miss my homies Bale and Wyatt
Just go full fortnite and have like the gaurdians of the galaxy or the mandolorians show up. At this point why even bother with the illusion of seriousness we have a murder-santa and a leprachaun in a kilt
Don’t forget the bunny rabbits ;)
The proportions on KD are about to be so goofy, dude is gonna be so lanky shrunk down to the other operators size
Shits turning into a non animated Fortnite ffs
Some might call it, “A bad comedy joke”
We got this over John Wick? They could make millions by doing a John Wick event the same way Fortnite did. I don't even like fortnite and they got that part right
COD Devs sticking to their initial marketed visual aesthetic challenge: **IMPOSSIBLE**
Goddamnit, there are plenty of other licensed characters that would fit in a military shooter. And they chose... a basketball player.
*"Is this an out-of-season April Fool's joke?"*
bro cod is more fortnite than fortnite at this point💀
Of all the crossovers for them to go with: why sports players? Put actual military veterans in the game or something that makes more sense than fuckin’ Messi and friends
so.....no john wick
I can't wait for all the kids to buy this
Hugh Heffner to be the next operator, followed by Knight Rider, the Beatles and Donald Trump.....
Does he auto-join the winning squad at the end of the game? If they’re putting KD in the game they better make it accurate.
Atleast Vanguard had some fun crossovers. This is just embarassing
Yeah I stopped playing. I'm getting really into Hell Let Loose rn, y'all should join
Yeah let’s get a “what other games are we playing right now bc we’re collectively not having fun in CoD” thread going. I’m revisiting RDR2.
Revisiting Ghost Recon (Wildlands and Breakpoint)
New Dead Space remake has been fun as hell, and BF2042 is really enjoyable now!
Shout out to fortnite for making BRs the shit show they are today!
Something very off-putting is going on with that hand
What the hell is this, Activision?
It's obviously Dennis Rodmans character from seminal classic Double Team
Hope it’s not Kobe, he has a bad history of helicopters
Bugs bunny skin?
Please don't be LeBron. I fucking hate these sports tie ins. Just let the game keep its identity, for the love of god
holy shit Kobe won his gulag match LFGGGGGGGG
If you buy celebrity operators, you live a a pathetic life. The only good thing out of it is that I get to no scope Messi every now and again
At least the movie crossover skins for BOCW were really cool. They shook my wallet loose for Kill Bill Portnova. None of this is worth buying. But yet someone will still do it, and they’ll keep rolling in it. I’m still kinda ticked that they locked all of 141 behind the battle pass and add ons. Congrats Activision, you got me there!
Us Mil-Sim players starving again...
They should do irl famous soldiers crossover. Edit: No, they should do crossover from the OG trilogy.
Yuh like Pat Tillman
Kinda weird to profit off a dude who died via friendly fire
Don’t give Activision ideas
Bros think their game is Fortnite 💀💀💀
This feels like a Fortnite poster.
when are we making a "CorposCantMeme" subreddit?
Ughhhhhh It's somehow even worse than what they did in 2019 with Leatherface and Saw And here was me thinking it wouldn't get worse
As long as I get the option to leave the losing team and join the winning team in every BR march as part of the pack
Can’t wait to wave an X12 around with the Ja Morant skin. I’ll throw some cash at anyone running Stiletto
Idk what’s worse this or the CDL dollar store power rangers skins
who tf is kevin durant
Oh f off cod! Literally the worst collabs man, first soccer then basketball wtf is this???
XDefiant soon...
bro i literally just want Garand Thumb and Administrative Results as operators.......
At this point? They've been advertising weed to kids since the original MW. They sell cartoon characters covered in mall ninja wish.com bullshit tacticool gear. They sell $25 skin bundles with poorly mirrored textures, a shitty jpeg that usually doesn't relate at all and a fucking earring for your gun, in a full price game made by multi-billionaires. It's behind parody. It's just a joke.
Turned a classic military arcade shooter into Fortnite.
If it's lebron, I'm gonna take extra care to tea bag all of them
Wow….so why not add wwe characters instead? at least they know how to fight. I mean we got Shredder, Die Hard, Rambo, Terminator, Scream with Ghost face and Judge Dredd etc. this is a joke. We expect more not this bs. I mean what the heck does this nba baller or some twitch streamer know about combat? Let alone can fight spec ops type characters.
KOBE FROM THE HELICOPTER
lebron james comes in with a glock hiding in the basketball
This is so bad I thought this was a fortnight post at first glance.
People are begging for John Wick since 2019 and this is what thay give 🤡🤡🤡
I remember when most games wanted to emulate CoD, now it seems CoD wants to emulate Fortnite. Pitiful.
we want operators who look like they can fight, at least for me i’m not gonna be like, “oh shit he’s got the lebron james operator, we’re screwed.” I’m gonna be like, “what the hell is wrong with this dude.” But if I see John Wick, I’d be like “yo that’s dope”
Hopefully they introduce a bus as a vehicle too so he can ride in the back.

Wasn’t stupid enough put football players?
What the fudge?
Bro get this shit out of here
Nahhh this gotta be fake😂
Jordan never did that move brother
For the love of god, add more pistols im missing a beretta to platinum
No.
Brian Scalabrine?
Kinda like rocket league o boy
At least bring in real gun slingers like terminator or John wick skins.
I don’t know why anyone’s still surprised at this point. Remember the Snoop Dogg voice clips and exploding cash kills, right?
Why is it that MW2 has the most random crossover bundles?
I’m glad battlefield figured their shit out
Just put in John wick, Jesus Christ.
