They really do be giving Sledgehammer Games backshots. I bet the COD fan boys wish they were getting backshots too

[@robertmayberry3598]

You can tell sledgehammer tried to go out with as much as a bang as they could, all the new camos they addee in season 6 the final prestige camo the purgatory camos and they even made the 4th camo you unlock for both new weapons animated !they are all awesome. And the drive through map and ghost ship have a lot of cool details , putting shipment in that neighborhood setting makes it feel fresh

[@blackzamasu3077]

Sledgehammer did a good job post season but let’s not act like they didn’t kickstart this whole behind dev rotation shit in 2020 when they couldn’t finish the game with raven causing treyarch to come in early and fix it and they gotta do their third mode the last two games smh they need two year lifecycles for these games

[@JbowenDaMan]

@@blackzamasu3077 true, it’s sad that them and Raven couldn’t stop beefing to get that project out, but ever since then they just keep getting screwed with vanguard and MW3. I’m hoping the next game they are gonna get a full development cycle, I’m curious what they can cook if given the time.

[@ExG131]

Sledgehammer even tried new playstyle ideas in matchmaking in VANGUARD. Why dont they ever bring their innovating ideas over to the other future CODs. ACTIVISION is treating them like a 3rd wheel in a 4way orgy. I truly hope the hurt ACTIVISION gets this years COD will give SHG their roses to do what THEY WANT.

[@danielblassi1029]

The only reason why Sledgehammer gave us so many maps is because MW3 was based off of MWII, and they had original MW2 maps at launch. It’s not that they did amazing but that they literally had to because the entire game was basically a DLC. I can’t wait until the next sledgehammer game and you say, “Sledgehammer dropped the ball” 😂

[@HotSizzleTV_]

Activision treats sledgehammer like 3rd class citizens! I love that studio. But nah I’m for a new game new single player every year. I don’t play madden or nba2k they expect a new game every year. Just like me been hyped from cod 2 till now.

[@IT-ug1fz]

As someone who hasn’t played a full cod life cycle since bo2 (yeah I’m old) I genuinely feel like mw3 is the best cod since then and that was literally 12 years ago. Cheers to sledge games the game gets way to much disrespect

[@collcatillwill]

If they bring all of MW2 Maps (2022) over to MW3 the game would be phenomenal.

[@cheech9802]

MWIII is the best COD since years, unfortunately it lasted only a year… BO6 is an insult to COD

[@davidcarely5508]

Considering the fact we got 16 unoriginal maps for launch it makes sense to have this much new content. The wrong thing for people to do is to carry this mindset over to new cod games after because mwiii is still just a huge hot fix update from mwii

[@TheGamePassGuy]

I agree, Sledgehammer is a much better studio than Activision allows them to be. I'm looking forward to Advanced Warfare 2.

[@EvilXero359]

activision's new name should be fukkavision obviously because they keep fucking up with just about everything

[@murderous_hotdog]

I am almost certain the people who say MW3 2023 is the worst haven't played after launch, it's definitely not the best it has clear issues, however it is the best CoD overall imo since MW2019.

@@glizzward6817 What? Dude you are confusing me lol. Literally the normal COD season has 3 maps. This is practically the same amount of content. The only difference is COD releases 2 at the start and 1 mid season, XDefiant releases them 1 per month until end of season. Literally 0 difference besides how they distribute them.

Shout out sports games for pulling the same yearly release bullshit

[@AlongTheBorderSide]

I have only ever bought cod for zombies, first player waw when i friend said "wanna play this zombies game that just came out?" Then i bought it and unlocked zombies, all dlc, bo1, bo2, bo3. I also bought ghosts, only 5 cods ive ever bought. Ive played a little bo4 and cold war zombies but not a fan, love bo4 maps though. And it used to feel like ive got something i can play for years and love it, i haven't stopped playing bo3. Zombies hasn't been to my enjoyment since, not saying 4 or cold war were bad, im just not a fan. And 6 looks shakey, im not sure what to think until i can truly play it and i will buy it because the 2nd week of the beta convinced me, the multiplayer was stupid fun so i will play it either way. But i don't want to end up dropping it because zombies was unenjoyable, and next year is apparently another black ops and real zombies scenario. I worry this game is a way to feel everything out so this whole year of zombies is experimental, and multiplayer too probably. We might lose omnimovement and that was the thing that made me love that beta. We all hate the codhq crap but ive felt for so long theres an easy solution. You take all the cod teams and divert them up to where all the multiplayer guys are together, the zombies team is together, and a campaign team exists. Release 3 games, a zombies game, a multiplayer game, and then every year drop a new campaign that offers rewards for both other games for playing. You put it all on the same engine, but then focus on that 1 game until it is necessary to make a new engine for all of them. Now you say "thats not profitable for them to not release a game every year." Well if all these teams are exclusively this role, theres 1 thing easy for them to do thats no different than a new game each year. Release a $60-70 dlc each year with a whole games worth of content, or make the zombies and multiplayer games f2p with lots of dlc but that idea is not great. But then this way each year youre still buying a new games price of shit if you desire it. If you already know all your investment will stay then people are much more likely to keep playing and keep supporting. And their money each year is no different. But most people would probably see this as a bad idea im sure

[@sammerscrescent7925]

SHG made me quit CoD for good since MWIII was horrid. So, half credit, I guess.

[@Dark-uj2jq]

Picked up mw3 because I was enjoying resurgence. Legit better than anything iw has made in years. More creativity more variety if it just wasn't called MW3 it probably would've sold more. It's genuinely good but sledgehammer always gets the shit end of things man.

[@Davidc9356]

42 maps, 20 of them are Shipment and Rust, the game was boring trash.

I wouldn't be surprised if at some point in the future sledgehammer reaches the breaking point and starts saying "Enough is enough we're done being f**ked around we're out of here and we're not dealing with this BS anymore" As for sledgehammer well done really communicating and really giving what the community wanted (the embodiment of what a dev team should be doing) Also imagine sledgehammer working with the xdefiant dev team I wonder how successful xdefiant would be then and how terrified activation would be

[@JbowenDaMan]

@@Minecraftassassin-re6og I heard leaks that they did go to Activision and say they wanted more time for their next project, so it’s nice to hear they are standing up for themselves. But dude, that would be INSANE if XDefiant could pick up the Sledgehammer team. Although I know it won’t happen, it would still be really cool!

[@JamesPond93]

If shg told acti to f off and then went to xdefiant yknow then cod is dying because acti is throwing the game into the dirt. I want shg to do it but being realistic it wont ever happen i personally think they could create a direct competitor to cod with jetpack movement which can stir alot more competition for cod 100% but they wont leave i know that mate

[@glizzward6817]

So cod drip feeding the shipment variants is a problem but XDefiant drip feeding maps is okay? Make it make sense.

[@randommobilegames6422]

The whole point was that after there drip fed 60% of the players left are leaving for Bo6 which makes the maps irrelevant, the point just went over your head is all. Same reason why it's not bad for Defiant to keep coming out with more because there's not gonna be XD2 in a year or two resetting all the maps and guns they'll just keep adding and adding on

[@randommobilegames6422]

If you take away all the map variants like big/small and the night maps along with remakes from old cods the call of duty with the most maps (after paid dlc and the base game price) is only like 15 maps. Where as in a year and a half when people are spending $70 on a cod with 10 maps at launch XD will already have added more then 15 more then the almost 15 we already have
