http://www.cnbc.com/id/43228471/Can_Activision_Blizzard_Turn_Call_of_Duty_into_World_of_Warcraft The Call of Duty sees 7 million unique gamers log online to play every day, not even WoW can come close. WoW has 11 million "active subscribers"--most likely logging in once a month makes you "active", not to mention they count the users who downloaded the "try it for free" app. Not even the Mario franchise comes close to having 7,000,000 gamers figthing each other every day in their online games. CS can't touch CoD in any manner possible. The Battlefield franchise has less than 15,000 daily users online. :lol: Feel free to discuss and bring forth your opinion. :)

It's a higher-scoring franchise than most shooters. Only Halo can compare.

Oh really? Halo, and Half Life, and Left 4 Dead. All have better scores.

I'd rather play a competitive shooter with 15,000 men and women instead of 7 million kids.

EDIT: I suppose it's hugely arguable if CoD is even considered competitive. Meh, I'll let this one slip.

The L4D series? I highly doubt that.

Look at you nerds swabble for bashing COD guess what? it will still sale more than BF. But notice how you dont see Cod fans bashing BF... its because BF needs defending while Cod steams past.

Agreed. It actually seems most people hype BF3 just because they "hate" CoD to be "cool". They are probably not even going to buy BF3. :S

Yeah, go ahead and make things up. Who cares whom you play with? It's the game that's important: slow, boring gameplay where everybody camps with a sniper rifle in the bushes, and where it takes 2 hours to down guy, or a fast, intense, action-packed game that requires your utmost attention and needs you to be on the move all the time...

I don't even know which one you're referring to in either situation. BF and CoD are both bad. True men play Halo.

Nah, Halo is good but not good enough to compete with CoD, IMO.

Why do people feel the need to insult the entire COD fanbase? Why does it hurt them so much that there are many who do enjoy the game? ...and even if some of them are kids, werent you once a kid too?? I dont get it, I really dont. This strong passionate hate for COD, people are really bitter over this franchise...

I don't actually want to pursue this, mate. I do like Halo more, but I'm tired as hell and saying weird s***. So uh... whatever. They're both cool I guess.

Its because BF needs defending while Cod just steams rolls past no competition it's also why EA bashes Cod every second to make themselves feel better but come launch it wont be close.

It's counted in "active users", which is pathetic IMO.

Subscribed users =/= active users. Blizzard only released the subrcibed numbers, never heard about the active users.

I respect Halo, man. But I'm not sure if it comes close to CoD's 7 million daily users...

WTF, you bash BF in your own post :s

and the TC said this:

The Battlefield franchise has less than 15,000 daily users online. :lol:CallOfDutyXxX

So what you say makes no sense at all.

Agreed. It actually seems most people hype BF3 just because they "hate" CoD to be "cool". They are probably not even going to buy BF3. :SCallOfDutyXxX

People don't hate things because hating is cool, what a weak argument.

I only compared with other shooters, to give you a better view of things. Is it wrong to compare, suddenly? Stop the blind hating, it's getting annoying.

When compared to other sequels of games, yes Call of Duty has been the same game over and over again. I have played them all, but what do you care. You are going to blindly defend it anyway and back up all you're arguments with 'TEH 7 MILLIONZ'.

I'm going to go listen to Justin Bieber now because since that is the most popular music now, it has to be the best right ?

Just like you loving CoD is strong in yourself, why don't you bring a argument for the haters and prove them wrong instead of stating nothing, it'll be a far more interesting read.

5.3 billion people disagree with those 7 million though.

Congratulations to Activisions and the various teams behind the COD franchise.

I however feel the COD series is but one of the many stale shooters available, perhaps the best of a bad bunch.

Battlefield has always been superior, even if it's not reflected in sales.

What else do I need to prove? It's so popular because its multiplayer is the best, most addictive, balanced and interesting of them all. People got tired of CS and Halo; IW came and introduced the revolutionary perks, killstreaks, killcams, XP reward system etc., and they're constantly trying to improve on it and to bring forth new features. What else is there to say? It's an unstoppable phenomenon.

The SC series hasn't even sold 7 million in Korea. ;-) The first one did 5 million and SC2 flopped in sales (as far as I'm concerned?).

Now watch as they discredit all those just cause their BF doesn't have those. I think system wars should not be taken seriously as the real world thinks Cod is better if not why are the sale numbers going up? Goodluck to BF getting half of MW3's sales.

Ok then throw the other parts of the world, and wow. We're talking only about 3 games exclusive in one platform against a crapload of cod games in every platform.

CoD has more daily players than every Blizzard product put together unless Blizzard states otherwise, continue the hating...CallOfDutyXxX

Starcraft on Korea alone will crush that number :D

The SC series hasn't even sold 7 million in Korea. ;-) The first one did 5 million and SC2 flopped in sales (as far as I'm concerned?).

starcraft 2 wiki On August 3, 2010, Blizzard announced that StarCraft II sold more than one million units worldwide within one day of its release. After two days, when Blizzard began selling the game as a digital download on its website, approximately 500,000 additional units of the game were sold, bringing the total up to 1.5 million worldwide and making it the fastest-selling strategy game of all time.[79] In its first month on sale, StarCraft II sold a total of three million copies worldwide.[12] As of December 2010, the game has sold nearly 4.5 million units.[80] The game was also heavily pirated, reportedly being downloaded over 2.3 million times, and setting a record for most data transferred by a single torrent in only three months.[81] you sir are owned and should stay quiet.

Actually no, Starcraft does NOT have 7 million daily gamers, not worldwide either.

What else do I need to prove? It's so popular because its multiplayer is the best, most addictive, balanced and interesting of them all. People got tired of CS and Halo; IW came and introduced the revolutionary perks, killstreaks, killcams, XP reward system etc., and they're constantly trying to improve on it and to bring forth new features. What else is there to say? It's an unstoppable phenomenon.CallOfDutyXxX

Argument against the well none points brought by the ones that hate CoD. You're not doing the fanbase any justice by simply proclaiming CoD as the greatest, you're making them look far worse by heavily ignoring anyone that disagrees with you, and making horrible assumptions that are not proven by anything (such as all Blizzard games combined not touching the daily players of CoD?).

This is a cycle that i've seen all the time in various sites. Why won't you be the first that breaks that cycle, man.

And one year after its release the online goes dead. Its a shame that it kills itself.

I assume it goes like this

Black Ops ~ 3.5 million daily gamers (almost half being on 360)

MW2 ~ 3 million daily gamers

every other COD ~ 500K

I still believe WoW has more than all Black Ops versions combined. with 13 million people playing actively, they aren't just people who spend 2 hours a week playing (like half of COD fanbase) they're spending 12-14 hours a day, every day.

4.5 million? Wow, congratulations, sir. "Activision has announced that day one sales of Call of Duty Black Ops have topped 5.6 million in the US and UK alone."

Just like MW2? Oh, wait! The why is MW2 still more actively played than CS, Halo, BF and Killzone combined? Stop owning yourself, kid, you're losing any credibility you had.
