All Fanboys are idiots...simple...its not like supporting a sports team its just a damn console...buy both and STUFF IT. If you can't afford both and have to budget then get a better job or better qualifications....god fanboys are all idiots.

Hey Eddie, you need to update your bio. Here let me do it for you.:

There, you're welcome. ;)

DLC exclusivity is one thing, but the sad part is more often than not the one with the deals gets more effort put into it's version over the competitor. Ie. Arkham Knight.

This is basically AW with a new look and feel along with new features. I don't know that going back to WWII or what have you would solve the problem either, as I think people will get very bored of that quickly unless they do something drastic, like making maps bigger, adding in vehicles, and making the environment destructible. Problem is, it would feel too much like Battlefield. The only real thing separating Black Ops from the other Call of Dutys is the Zombies Mode, which is getting so big and popular now I suspect it will spawn it's own game series before too long. They're in a tough spot critically, but surprisingly their sales are still up even after all the negative things I've heard said about COD. They're sticking to what they know, and it's working for them monetarily - and it has been for a long time.

this is how: more money to be made on ps4. and activision are fucking whores.

How Sony Won Call of Duty DLC Exclusivity Away From Microsoft

'How Sony Won Call Of Duty DLC Exclusivity Away From Microsoft' Article, me instantly thinks money?

Thats a lot of words, could have been just one:

Money.

If I was a modern or near future soldier, I would not want to be partnered with a guy whose weapon of choice is a bow and arrow.

simple answer: Halo 5.

The Title of this aritcle should be "Who cares how Sony won CoD DLC exclusitivity"....

Sony is selling more consoles hence why we are seeing a new home for COD. No surprise here. Microsoft really messed up with Xbox One. Looks like eventually get another console it would be PS4.

The destiny deal with sony has been the shadiest shit ive seen in my life of gaming. Exclusive content held over a year puts it outside a games relevant life cycle. If this is a similar deal I want nothing to do with CoD or activision anymore. Trust me, this is a horrible business practice and will eventually affect everyone if left unchecked.

and the console war continues.....yawn

One hardware company came around with a bigger bag of money than the other company. (The behind the scene details...)

nothing can stop the train that is sony.

Now I have to wonder are these dlc exclusively deals at least in reference to COD on a game by game basis are there multiyear deals set in place on these things? If it's a game by game year by year basis then that means Microsoft was paying out the wazoo for COD exclusively every year well that's if they have to pay for it or do Activision just decide who the want to GIVE exclusively to?

The first COD I wont buy.
Im so tired of this future stuff.
Why must they make several similar games in a row?! Do they think we want that?
The community is screaming after a WW2 game and MW 1-3 re-mastered MP maps with an MW4.
And instead they are doing a game with future BS and the only thing that sells it is a mediocre "zombies" mode...

Its going to be another game with fast movement, vertical gameplay which needs BIGGER MP maps.
Yet they fail to see that.

do you know someat these threads that praise someat over someat else are so stupid.. it doesnt matter about abit of dlc being won i certainly do not care for it or the game, its hardly a war won is it between the two franchises. Its not gunna put a dent in ms pocket or gain sony tons of extra revenue, fans arnt going to flock from one console to the next because of a dlc exclusivity selling there xbox or ps4 which ever way round it happens..

@CallMeDuraSouka: Lol it's as simple as using the 'search' function. Nice to see I'm on your mind though (kinda creepy however)....

ha!

It's too bad this series isn't as good as it once was. I haven't purchased one since black ops 2. This one has me interested, but since I've moved away from console gaming (for now), I don't see myself snagging it any time soon. I'm not seeing Microsoft needing this for this year though. They still have the best exclusives launching this year; Halo is all they really need.
