So for the first time a COD game will not have a proper single-player campaign and instead Treyarch are said to be focusing on putting in a Battle Royale mode. I have to say i'm very dissapointed in the publishers and devs for alienating a good portion of the fanbase in favor of jumping on the latest bandwagon. I don't see people buying this game just for it's BR mode, as Fortnite already has the massive advantage of being free to play, and those who are willing to pay for BR already have PUBG, so I can't imagine people caring that much about COD getting a BR mode.
Franchises getting rid of campaigns never goes well, it didn't work out well when Shadowrun went from classic RPG to third-rate Unreal Tournament clone in 2007, it pissed off a lot of fans when the single-player focused Rainbow Six Patriots was cancelled in favor of the live-services microtransactions filled Siege(which was a buggy mess on launch, which tells me the game not having a campaign was less of an artistic choice then it was a lazy one, as it seems the game only didn't have one purely because Ubisoft wanted the game out during the holiday season) and EA definitely lost a lot of goodwill when they forced DICE to make the first Battlefront without a campaign(which they later admitted was only so they could get the same out before Force Awakens).
I've always played COD solely for the campaigns, never touched it's MP(or zombies) and never will since i'm not an MP kind of guy(I don't take well to getting yelled at by assholes on the internet, don't need that kind of stress in my life) so i'm not going to buy this one. What about the rest of you? Will you buy it or skip it?
