Infinity Ward's "thank you" multiplayer map for mega-fans is a Call of Duty: Ghosts pre-order bonus - Sensationalist Headlines

[QUOTE=minilandstan;42057632]You're somebody who considers themselves a special snowflake yet follows the vocal majority and politically correct ideals to the grave. All your opinions were precreated through the use of media to say what you should and should not believe in, rather than creating your own opinions on the subject. As much as you can deny it, all i've seen from you is the exact stuff people tell other people to believe in. Anyone who doesn't agree with homosexuality is a bigot, anyone who doesn't agree with everything feminists says is a misogynist, support the president who indicts change, say no to morally questionable things in a morally questionable world, agree with everything else agrees to. It's not wrong to disagree with certain things, it means you're willing to step out of a cesspool of self served opinions given to you by others as a means to not hurt others, even if the end result would do more good than bad to the person. You can't criticize anyone anymore because people will call you entitled, even if their creation isn't remotely good. And while it's fine to agree with certain parts of that, you can't say you're not on this bandwagon when you're just riding the one that millions of other "gamers" are currently following. You're on a hundred bandwagons and you think acting kind to a developer who basically does whatever they want, community input or not, is a positive thing. I'm alright with people enjoying call of duty, but I have my own reasons to dislike the series, and just because many people don't like it doesn't make it any more of a bandwagon than the thousands of people who play the game because all their friends do it. In fact, the majority of people buying call of duty each year is a bandwagon itself, everyone hops on because their friends play it and if you want to be the kool kid at school you gotta buy the newest game. And the issue is that Call of Duty won't go away until it's alienated its entire playerbase for a community that practically doesn't exist, and even still by that time there will be a new series everyone plays yearly. Before, we had halo and whatnot. Now we have call of duty, it's a cycle that will continue.[/QUOTE] thanks

[QUOTE=JCDentonUNATCO;42056998]You are in literally every thread involving EA, Bioware, or COD. There's no excuse.[/QUOTE] I'm someone who does the same thing, I defend this shit because people like the guys in this thread seem to act like the instant their least favorite developer adds something for their fanbase, it's the fucking second coming of lucifer himself and the only people who can stop him are those very posters, riding on their white horses themselves. Get the fuck over yourselves, guys. If Valve released a special survival map for the next L4D as a "thank you" for everyone who pre-ordered/stayed loyal to the series, you'd all be like "yeah okay" And don't pull this "Facepunch isn't a hivemind" shit either, the constant flow of people screaming bloody murder at the sight of "EA" "Activision" or "Call of Duty" in a thread title shows that -maybe- there's something called a "general opinion"

Bit more like a fuck you but ok Infinity Ward, whatever you say.

[QUOTE=madmanmad;42051787]Call of duty has the best most loyal fans in the world? Is that why those same fans tell the devs the kill themselves every time a gun is slightly altered?[/QUOTE] I'm fairly certain the majority of players aren't tryhard crybabies.

Well, I'm happy I'm not a loyal fan anymore lol.

It's not like the other CoD games didn't have pre-order bonuses, that's why it's stupid of them to suddenly act like they're being generous by adding a pre-order bonus for Ghosts.

[QUOTE=No Party Hats;42052475]i dunno i like the idea of having a multiplayer map that feels like something out of the singleplayer people really like to whine about pre-order bonuses when they've been around for eons, it's not gonna change because of your sick nasty sarcasm burns on the internet. Think about it, they're releasing a pre-order bonus as a thank you, perhaps they're saying thank you to the people who pre-order their games? [editline]2nd September 2013[/editline] but of course there's the inevitable box spam and "no you're wrong because call of duty" so why even bother talking to the wall[/QUOTE] i dont really care if pre-order bonuses have been around for "eons" (and they haven't) it's a fucking despicable business practice i can accept some minor, purely cosmetic things as pre-order bonuses, but this shit is not cool

Now they're like "hey shout out to all our fans who stuck around by the way" and it's even more heinous than before

[QUOTE=madmanmad;42051787]Call of duty has the best most loyal fans in the world?

And the fact is that what you or anyone else thinks about call of duty doesn't matters to anyone who cares/plays the game. You like it? Cool, let's have a go at it. You don't? Oh well, let's go play it with someone who does like the game. What you and everyone else are doing is nothing more than being "the police of opinions" and shitting on any other opinion that isn't equal to your own, but then again, the forum is filled up to the brim with that. It's always the same with cod? Guess what, it's always the same with you people. Thread about cod? Let's complain how it has shitty graphics and how the running and dying animations that we don't even pay attention to in a game are the same while we sit on our armchairs and eat cheetos playing something WE deem as better because we are refined gamers who only play the best games ever and are superior to everything. OH WAIT, it has somewhat better graphics?! Let's keep shitting on them, because cod is about graphics and they are still awful because graphics are what cod is all about. The fish react to you in the water?! Unheard of?! LOL MARIO DID IT FIRST FOUR SCORE AND SEVEN YEARS AGO! Nevermind that they are talking about being a first in THEIR games and not on ALL GAMES EVER. We hate the game, but we MUST ABSOLUTELY flood every thread with the same old witty remarks about cod being this and that, because that way, it will stop being famous faster!!!!11! Fuck the actual fans, they are idiots because they play cod and I play something else that isn't cod!!!!1 This shit is as bad as the fucking console/PC wars. So before doing a huge wall of text trying to be some kind of personality reader and sounding deep in a text to antagonize whatever the thread is about and calling shit to someone else, think about this and do a 180º before acting like you're superior for not liking what someone else likes. [editline]3rd September 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=catbarf;42059108]Am I the only person in the world who sees nothing unreasonable about this? 'You, our loyal fans, are going to preorder the game anyways, so here's a bonus'? I mean if you're sufficiently skeptical that you're going to wait for five independent reviews to ascertain the game's worth before giving it six months before you buy it for $10 on sale, I don't think you're in a position to claim that you deserve it because you're such a loyal fan.[/QUOTE] This aswell. Is it THAT HARD to figure out that they are making it a pre-order bonus and not a "pay more because we want money for this" ?!

i see they ripped off the battlefield 3 promo art art style

[QUOTE=benbb;42051804]Definitely NSFW (Very strong language): [url]http://gamerfury.tumblr.com/[/url][/QUOTE] instantly a "Wow what the fuck" they used cunt 10 times just on the 1st page definitely one of the worst communities I've seen

[QUOTE=Deep;42067365]so you're saying it's an ordinary pre-order bonus except they're pretending it's not and no one's allowed to joke about that ok[/QUOTE] No, they're saying thank you at the same time Game developers are humans as well, they can express gratitude.

[QUOTE=No Party Hats;42069130]No, they're saying thank you at the same time Game developers are humans as well, they can express gratitude.[/QUOTE] Expressing gratitude by giving you something that's naturally expected from a pre-order and will be paid later on is pretty odd. see, that's why it's funny

What troubles me is that Infinity Ward have somehow managed to polarize sections of the internet around a simple shooter and that you have all this festering frustration, anger and agression. I know that that tumblr page of gamer rage was an extreme but I'm baffled by how willing people are to get wound up over something as trivial as this. On that tumblr page, CoD incited plain and simple agression that didn't reach far beyond the word 'cunt'. On here, it's "deep" and "philosophical" and over-analysed combined with witty sarcastic remarks. Simple variations of the same thing.

Before, we had halo and whatnot. Now we have call of duty, it's a cycle that will continue.[/QUOTE] I love this post for a number of reasons, mostly because of how wrong and uninformed it is. Let me start with the bandwagon, because you're a part of the classic PC gamer "cod is stupid only idiots play it" bandwagon. Milkandcooki is probably the most vocal person on this forum that actually looks into popular topics and tells the truth as he sees it. Seeing a thread full of Xbox One hate to suddenly have MaC pop in with actual facts is surprising, because he's the only one that seems to do it these days. He's showered with so many boxes for literally sharing his own opinion. Surprise, he thinks differently from you! But hey, you'll keep making fun of him until you convince everyone around to believe you as long as you keep bashing they same games they hate. Speaking of Call of Duty (because it's blatantly obvious you don't play it), Modern Warfare 3 had an entire playlist dedicated to community choice that helped push Black Ops 2 to have the most successful launch in gaming history. Black Ops 2 has a similar playlist, both for vanilla players and for DLC players. These games continue to be popular because the developers pay attention to what the community likes and continue to deliver exactly that. Quickscoping made a return in Black Ops 2 because of player feedback from BO1. But you wouldn't know that, you don't even play. Call of Duty will stay as it continues to deliver on what the core fans want while expanding the core gameplay. I wonder if that's why they brought back the four main characters from the old Zombies maps?? And getting back to the pre-order bonus, the devs could easily satisfy GameStop and Activision with some exclusive character outfits or weapon skins. This happens all the time, but instead they're giving out an entire map that will be made completely free later on for all players. I wonder if this is because of the community really liking Nuketown 2025? Feel free to claim they're just pulling out the map to serve as free DLC, because it'll only serve my point that you only want to hate on people for crowd responses.
