Angry Call of Duty Fans Are Review-Bombing the Wrong Modern Warfare 3::Poor Modern Warfare 3. No, not the new one. The original one, from 2011. It’s getting review-bombed by angry Call of Duty fans who seem a bit confused about which Call of Duty is which.

I really wonder about the marketing departments of these things. Why repeat names, if the names already have numbers anyway???

Need for Speed does the same shit. And even Doom (2016) is called the same as Doom (1993)

Because it confuses the customer into thinking its a remake, when really they’re just capitalizing on the nostalgia of the name to sell copies
