like it was genuinely a sight to behold how much people absolutely fucking hated this latest cod and you can tell how much things are just breaking apart like mw3 reboot and blops 7 are just so haphazardly put together they just throw in warzone areas as levels and multiplayer objectives

They hate the campaign. Much like MW3, the rest of the game is fine. The problem is being the best selling game of the month isn't enough for COD to be profitable anymore and people are exhausted by the yearly releases.

The last good call of duty campaign in my opinion was Infinite Warfare, which is funny because at the time everyone was making fun of it for going further into the future while Battlefield was going back to the Great War. Never has there been a better squad mate than E3N since.

It is amazing to me how people can look at Microsoft and still be like "oh no capitalism is working as intended," They are still a top company stock wise due to being a monopoly, but have they EVER made something outside of Windows and up until recently Xbox that would be considered a success?

Like, they tried doing an iPod and failed. They tried doing an iPhone and an iOS and failed. They tried doing an iPad and essentially failed (Windows 8 failed, Surface now basically is just a laptop), their VOIP stuff sucked so hard it spawned discord and kept Teamspeak alive. They failed at Google.

they have decent enterprise / ops solutions _ which makes sense, as the money men would have to actually use those products and so would have a more realistic understanding of their needs
