That second paragraph makes it sound like in-game factions will only be 3 players in size. I'm guessing the intention was to tell us that there will be 3 factions for players to join.

That's funny, when I turned 20 I stopped caring about the that self serving bullshit that trolls spew on the internet.

And I'm sick of people getting mad at me for sharing an opinion that is as valid to me as yours is to you.

Treyarch gets credit for trying to spice up a stale formula, but they don't get my money. And that aren't reinventing the wheel here. (Actually- nobody who has a publishing relationship with Activision gets my money anymore, but that's a different story).

And conversely for me, MP is the last thing I care about when it comes to gaming. If I can play with my friends, great, but if not, I would rather solo than play with strangers. On XBL it's usually children and blowhards not worth having to interact with, anyway.

It's a bit different when you learn that his association with the brand started out in consulting with Treyarch (thanks for omitting that information, Kotaku- way to live down to my expectations of you).

I found out from listening to Giant Bomb that he is actually consulting on the game with Treyarch, which paints this information in a completely different light. I don't like that Ollie North is a CoD pitchman, but if it's associated with his consulting as an expert on the project- that's sort of different. Few people…

I thought about it some more and I think if Treyarch is going in the right direction with their take on the franchise. I'm just so sick of CoD at this point. Run forward, shoot, run forward, shoot some more. It's old.

TS:DC

I thought it had done better, but now that you mention it, I think it was only in first week sales.

Oh noes! Paragraphs!

It goes to show you that Call of Duty is now just for Kids and people who believe what they are told by Fox News.

So let me get this straight: Activision hired a man who lied under oath during a Congressional hearing, sold weapons to terrorists (and Iran) and knowingly funded druglords, a man guilty of high treason, to be the pitch man for their new Call of Duty game.

Love that!

Replace '"Hardcore" and "hipster"' with "Gamers sick of being re-sold yet another reskinned carbon copy of a game we've all bought a half a dozen times before" and I'm with you.

Prediction: This will be the first Call of Duty release since Modern Warfare that does not outsell it's predecessors, and it will be the beginning of the end for the brand- if that hasn't happened already.

PC player it sounds like... I wish my PC was able to do it justice. On console the system is even less useful. The only way to get to squad up with friends is to join an empty server and wait a half hour for it to fill up. Otherwise you'll be split up, no matter what.

I'm not sure what there is to 'get' about it other than that it's awful. Server queues? Are you kidding me? That's the kind of problem the xbox live subscription I pay for is supposed to be keeping me out of, and does in literally every other multi-player game I know of on the platform.

Good points all around. It's not a terrible value proposition to consider any of the above builds for those who don't want to deal with a DIY solution.

If EA wants me to play Battlefield they can fix their bullshit server browser, or get rid of it. I still to this day cannot squad up with friends and stay together when joining a match. It might sound petty, but if I can't at the way I want to- the way I have been as to for the last 5 years of BF games, I just don't…
