News - Why Did People Still Buy Warzone 2
Call of Duty has always been at its best when there's competition because they had to earn their spot as a best-selling shooter, but if there's no competition, if there's no threat, they're going to become complacent, and no amount of six out of 10 will change the fact that despite the diminishing new content, their bottom line is unaffected.
I want to acknowledge that the post-launch support for Call of Duty is improving and that the free content updates are great. It's clear that the developers care but the suits don't, and when the developers are forced to work under so much pressure and with so little time, and when they're typically the ones to receive the backlash on websites like Twitter, nobody wins.
MW3 is a good game, but it's not a new game, and so its $90 price tag feels unearned. If it were $40 and a DLC again, I think it could have been received better, and the only reason I think it's so good is because I thought MW2 was mechanically terrible, so what's the solution? I don't know we have to speak with our wallets, but we aren't the target audience; the people that play and, more importantly, analyze the campaigns are disgustingly in the minority, myself included, and it doesn't matter if a article calling the game Bad gets millions of views because the average Cod player is buying it simply because it's the new Cod and because I just don't care, and most tragically, it's still fun.
MW3 has been a joy to play as far as multiplayer is concerned, and I know there's tons of people who love the new Zombies mode, and that's why, in spite of it all. MW3 sold well because, in spite of it all, it's still a fun game. I know that admitting that isn't the best look for me, but it's true that this is fun as hell, even if I do detest what the series has.
Don't forget also that for a limited time only new players on PC will get a bonus of 4, 000 silver and 3 days of premium when signing up.
