Call of Duty: Redundant Subtitle A shame the first PC exclusive COD since the original is a F2P only published in Asia.
They just know they can milk the micro transactions.
Looks like MW2 with some old maps from CoD 4 and some new maps.
[QUOTE=Makol;36605506]Looks like MW2 with some old maps from CoD 4 and some new maps.[/QUOTE] thats about what it is
Isn't there a F2P Counter-Strike?
The Chinese don't like FPS. they prefer RPG. What is Activision thinking? They are going for the wrong Market. US and Canada is a more viable option for a F2P COD

DUUUUBSTEP

[QUOTE=BCell;36605634]The Chinese don't like FPS. they prefer RPG. What is Activision thinking? They are going for the wrong Market. US and Canada is a more viable option for a F2P COD[/QUOTE] this is like saying the japanese are only into h-games
[QUOTE=BCell;36605634]The Chinese don't like FPS. they prefer RPG. What is Activision thinking? They are going for the wrong Market. US and Canada is a more viable option for a F2P COD[/QUOTE] what if it's a MW RPG or some borderlands/CoD bastard child
I can see all the effort they put into the game they basically made MW2 free to play and added the cod4 maps to it.
[QUOTE=certified;36605362] A shame the first PC exclusive COD since the original is a F2P only published in Asia.[/QUOTE] It's probably because [url=http://kotaku.com/5587577/why-are-consoles-banned-in-china]game consoles are banned in China[/url]
Holy shit. They reused so many maps from MW2 and CoD4 I can probably name them all.
[QUOTE=ProffesorAssHat;36606085]Holy shit. They reused so many maps from MW2 and CoD4 I can probably name them all.[/QUOTE] I think that's the point. It's basically CoD4 and MW2 mixed together into another game for that market.
[QUOTE=simkas;36606092]I think that's the point. It's basically CoD4 and MW2 mixed together into another game for that market.[/QUOTE] True, but they could have thrown in some new-looking weapons and maps in the mix as well in order to make it look more different.
[QUOTE=ProffesorAssHat;36606110]True, but they could have thrown in some new-looking weapons and maps in the mix as well in order to make it look more different.[/QUOTE] If they would have put that much effort on it it'd be CoD: MW4
[QUOTE=ProffesorAssHat;36606110]True, but they could have thrown in some new-looking weapons and maps in the mix as well in order to make it look more different.[/QUOTE] The people that they're aiming this towards probably have never played MW1 or MW2, there really isn't a point.
[QUOTE=BCell;36605634]The Chinese don't like FPS. they prefer RPG. What is Activision thinking? They are going for the wrong Market. US and Canada is a more viable option for a F2P COD[/QUOTE] China peeps no like FPS? I'm offended.
[QUOTE=ProffesorAssHat;36606110]True, but they could have thrown in some new-looking weapons and maps in the mix as well in order to make it look more different.[/QUOTE] Why even bother? I bet 3/4 of China has ever seen CoD.
Target it towards South America, make millions.
[QUOTE=Ezhik;36605542]Isn't there a F2P Counter-Strike?[/QUOTE] There is even [URL="http://battlefield.wikia.com/wiki/Portal:BFO"]Battlefield Online[/URL] :v:
Fairly sure this is a pic of a MW2 spec ops mission.. [img]http://cf.shacknews.com/images/20120703/56961-callofduty-online-2-original_22642.nphd.jpg[/img]
Learn some Chinese Get the proper VPN Never have to pay for another Infinity Ward COD again
[quote]Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick said in a release. "We think China is one of the most exciting places in the world for us to grow our business [b]and to develop innovative new games[/b].[/quote] he's just asking for it now.
[QUOTE=Blackbird88;36608014]There is even [URL="http://battlefield.wikia.com/wiki/Portal:BFO"]Battlefield Online[/URL] :v:[/QUOTE] I honestly had a blast with this for a few months last year.

[/quote] Honestly I'd play it if the game expands out of China. Special Ops missions I can play with a buddy for free seems pretty fun. Though Activision being Activision, customization is probably nigh-impossible without using real money. If that happens, what a dick move.

[QUOTE=ProffesorAssHat;36606110]True, but they could have thrown in some new-looking weapons and maps in the mix as well in order to make it look more different.[/QUOTE] To be fair, I saw quite a few new character models in the trailer.
