Activision "Not Revealing" New Call Of Duty Project Yet
See Full ImageThis is one time where we sorta sniffed it out before the facts came to light.
If you surfed around for game news in the past 24 hours, you probably saw a mysterious teaser site, which featured a countdown. Once the countdown was over, we were supposed to see an official unveiling for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. However, something about it seemed off, which is why we didn't initially report on it... Now, an Activision representative has informed Kotaku that any such "unveiling" or countdown is a hoax.
"There seems to be a great deal of speculation about the next Call of Duty project. Let me be clear that we are not revealing yet. Anything indicating otherwise is a hoax."
Therefore, if anything shows up on the FindMakarov.com site next week - the countdown ends at 10 a.m. EST on Wednesday - it's bogus. Activision will make the announcement when they're good and ready; not before. At this point in time, Modern Warfare 3 hasn't been officially announced, although most just assume the project exists.

1. It's no fun.
2. There's a very limited number of classes to choose from, eg. no medic or tank class
3. No vehicles
4. Unrealistic physics.
5. Unfair advantages for experienced players, making it impossible to win or level up for newcomers.
6. No strategy, just run until you see an enemy or they see you first.
The only good thing I gathered from Call of Duty is that it has tight and responsive controls and is very easy to pick up and play. THAT'S IT!!
So, game developers, if you want to make a multi-million selling game franchise, screw single player, screw good graphics, screw thought of any kind. Simply focus on excellent controls and multiplayer and you shall be rewarded.
BTW, I am yet to find anyone interested in the next CoD in my circle of friends. All interest has turned to Battlefield 3.
BTW, off topic, but while Killzone 3 is excellent, the lack of cross-game chat or private party chat ruined the experience for many of my friends used to Xbox Live. Could only chat when in the game lobby or in a match and even then everyone else in our group could hear us. Is there a way to private chat with friends on PSN while online? Would make the game so much better, and save muting everyone in the process.

More than likely Activision will have a 30 sec TV spot and full release date unveil during the NBA Finals.

You don't like it? Don't play it. Its existence is not harming you in any way, unless your mentally unstable and start having seizures when you see the cod name.

How much you want to bet that Activision saw their online numbers drop this week and decided to put up some buzz just to get people playing COD again? and like Moths to the flame...the sheep will follow.
