Blacklight dev calls Call of Duty Elite “sad” and “weird”
“Right now, if they could, they’d charge 60 bucks, then 20 bucks a month for a map pack – or even just one map – and then $9 to upload game movies to YouTube.
“They see this massive fan base, and why aren’t they spending that money and evolving the game even more?”
Although he admits the Call of Duty series is “amazing”, Gerritzen said Activision hadn’t done anything new with the games for at least four iterations.
“That’s the sad part. Think about if they tried to spend that money that they’re trying to milk from the fans,” he said.
“It’s sad. It’s really weird. But there’s always going to be that guy; there’s always going to be the jerk.”

ChandelureKontaKt I agree in my honest opinion Black op's was a failure to deliver, the campaign took me like 7 hours to beat, and the the zombies, well there the best part of the game and yet you can only play soo much before your tired of the same crap, but the multi player venue is down right ugly, ever since MW2 started with the 1200 msp dlc for some recycled crap, and now I refuse to pay an additional 30 just to play the new dlc on black ops, thats 90 pluse 10 a month to play it online so first time useres are paying 100 dollars if they get both map packs, Now if your gonna say that game offers and experience worth that much then your high or your chasing a pipe dream from the call of duty 4. LOL things haven't changed since cod 4 and to be honest 3arc is soooo bad, dont get me wrong they did an awesome job with the graphics on blacks op but the game play is trash, just with the simple stuff Like not being able to shoot thew spaces on a balcony or on nuketown you cant throw a frag threw the boarded celling on the porch.. idk thats just a random out burst of my opinion
I'd have to disagree here, I find the multiplayer much more diverse and fun than MW2. I also find the map packs have much more value. In MW2 it was 3 new maps, and 2 old ones. Now you get 4 brand-new maps, and you get a new zombies map. Zombies mode has a very-high replay value in my opinion, as me and my friends have easily dumped at least as much time into playing zombies as we have into the main multiplayer experience.
I agree here, people are always so quick to throw treyarch under the bus when they should pay attention to how they changed the way we play call of duty ever since call of duty 3, although their games are different and require a more run n gun style, they have produced the most balanced call of duty to date and have tweaked the game in a way that may echo for future titles, everyone is entitled to their own view but all sides should still be considered, and dont get me wrong either I absolutely love infinity ward and activision, but if treyarch didn't mix things up every other year then what would we have to come back to...

Isnt this guy just saying that if Activision could, they would charge 9 Bucks for Elite, and so on? Like I'm pretty sure they aren't going to. Cause everyones comments are saying how they don't want to pay 9 bucks for Elite. But i think the guy is just saying that Activision wishes they could?

cod has everyone drawn too them though.. They dont even need a beta because they know your going to buy it anyways. But i think this new game will be better then mw2. They are taking what people loved with cod4 and smashing it with what people loved in mw2 and bam. As long as theres no commando, nuke, or one man army im fine. Also i heard sniping is possible in this game.

It really is sad how call of duty has "gone down the toilet" since COD4. I've also noticed that COD is one of the only really popular games out that does not do a public beta. If cod did a beta, the game would become better, and more people might actually buy it.

Teovz I see Call Of Duty being squeezed by its owner Activision for every penny they can get.They made a billion dollars in literally six weeks after Black Ops was released.(YES A BILLION)Black Ops obviously wasn't as good as we all wanted it to be but it made the cash and that's all that matters to them.I love Call Of Duty but really a new FPS needs to be released that blows off Call Of Duty.I love it but it needs to go unfortunately.
so what you have never heard of battle field?

more and more CoD fanboys are going to finally say the same crap AFTER they go buy MW3. They will realize its the same shit over and over again. All it takes is someone "big" or famous like this to say something about it. Then everyone else will realize how crappy CoD has gotten and say the same thing. It's just a trend or a fad or "the cool thing" to do. Mostly because CoD has gotten so big that more than half the fan base is made of 13 year olds with internet access. In the end, CoD has gone to shit and now finally Battlefield will shine and CoD will die
