So I guess that in response to criticism of CoD being the same every year? I agree to some extent. You can only change a game's core mechanics so much. I don't mean that in the same way he seems to though. You can only change a game's core mechanics so much that it still makes sense to label that game a continuation of a given franchise. It's hard to argue against him when he says, [quote]"So we can't change too many of the core rules, and the core rules are really simple," he added. "You're a player, it's in first-person, you have a weapon in your hand and you run around shooting other people."[/quote] since running around with a weapon in hand is pretty broad. That said, I don't think anyone's seriously complaining about changing something as core as that. People seem to complain about balance issues a lot, but you don't see people arguing against the core.
