The Cod Days Are Over ?

I think most gamer's can agree with me ,when i say that the Call Of Duty franchise is one, or maybe the most successful series in gaming history. Every year there is another instant into the series and every year the new game break every sales record in the book. But with the game play getting slightly stale and other titles like Battlefield 3 arriving on the scene. It seems Call of duty could be knocked off the top spot very soon. So do i think that this time next are gamers will have giving up on Call of duty and Activision will of lost it's number one seller ? Well the simple answer to this is... No.

It seems on every you tube video and gaming forum there seems to be a huge amount of hate towards Call Of Duty and much love for Battlefield 3. Often People will argue that Call Of Duty is rubbish and Battlefield 3 will be so much better. Although I completely agree that Call Of Duty is incredibly stale and Battlefield 3 will be a better game. But I also agree that Call Of Duty is going absolutely no where and definitely not by the hands of EA and there attempts to out sell this years Call Of Duty.

I think it's is pretty obvious seeing that Call Of Duty MW3 has the highest pre-order sales in history. Battlefield on the other hand has it's fans threatening to not purchase the game over some pre-order exclusive DLC for the game. Which features 1 unique weapon and 2 attachments. That won't available to people who didn't pre-order until a later date. Although I agree this kind of marketing is wrong. I do believe this was probably an attempt by EA to increase the pre-order sales of Battlefield 3.

I guess the only we will know which Fps is the best later this year when Battlefield 3 and Mw3 are released.Lets just say I wont be buying Mw3 but I will be buying Battlefield 3.

Battlefield 3 will not out sell Call Of Duty this year as COD applies to all Types of gamer. Casual, Harcore and anything in betwine. More importantly it applies the kinds of people who get transformers to number 1 of the movies charts.A quick drop in,easy to pick action title. Those are the kind of people who will be getting Mw3 to the top of the charts in November. So EA enjoy your two weeks of fame before the release of Mw3 as I'm sure when Mw3 arrives it will crush BF3 in sales. Personally i believe that's a shame as Ive always enjoys Battlefield more then Cod.

And I will leave you will this. "The only thing that will every kill Cod is not Skyrim, not Battlefield, not Halo but Cod Itself."
