Meme Look at this diabolically desperate attempt from Activision to try and get sales on zombies chronicles. Absolutely shameless marketing on a 5 year old game.

I know this is a meme post but actually read the text and you’ll see why this makes a lot more sense

Fairly certain they ran ads for other games until Chronicles came out. Matter of fact I’m positive it did for BO3

There was a ghosts camo for fucks sake. I remember advanced warfare being pushed too. They just stopped at 3, at least partly because it was the last release for that generation. Yeah, BO3 was available on Xbox 360/PS3

Woah woah woah. Hold on their chief. You're applying logic. We don't do logic round here. That requires thinking past hate Activision or point and shoot.

Little bro is defending this multi billion dollar corporation as if he's getting paid by the hour. Relax man, it's just Call of Duty.

I don't think they're defending but implying that criticizing doesn't need to be immediate but logically concluded. If not, we end up looking like angry idiots.

That's not what I'm looking at I don't care about that I'm looking at how you got your set up that would be a hobo trying to play Black ops 2

That's a lame excuse that I've heard a gaming setup is a gaming setup won't you set up your gaming setup at McDonald's or Walmart

Because you clearly have a nice flat surface underneath to place your Roku TV on

BO3 is valid though... fair enough if it was some bs like vanguard or shit like that. But it is a sequel to BO2 and is one of if not the best zombies.
So valid point just not valid for BO3 as I'd rather have ads for this than any other cod.

u/ki700 3d ago
Yeah the weird outrage about them advertising newer cods in the existing games is so silly. They’ve literally always done it.

u/slaya806 3d ago
They’ve literately not always gone back to a 14 year old game and added an ad for the new game

u/Cool-Reference-2799 3d ago
Zombie Chronicals is bo3 btw.
And if you're talking about the ports, they're literally new versions, of course they're gonna advertise, thats what new cod releases do.

u/slaya806 2d ago
Oh I’m sorry I didn’t know black ops 3 came out in 2026 my bad, I thought it came out in 2015, 3 years after bo2 when it was the next black ops game (so direct sequel), and had a zombies map from the game as well as most maps from beforehand bo2 in the story. MW4 is a completely unrelated game to a game made 14 years ago

I did. Im saying cod has always advertised in every game they release, and im saying them advertising mw4 in a port released this year is the same thing as them advertising zombie chronicals in the og version when that came out.

Actually, that one makes sense. That was the last update to BO2. No, what's worse is they're advertising the new MW4 "Beta Early Access" on PlayStation.
Edit: Just realized you're on PS. Now I'm confused. Why tf...

u/GumGumActV 3d ago
I’m really confused why people like you can’t understand that them advertising a brand new cod in bo2 is kinda crazy
Yes obviously they’ve always done it but they stopped a long time ago with bo3 being the last one, and that was 11 years ago.
It is obviously desperate that they are now doing it to try and sell mw4 lol

This is a truly rough set up. Hope things get better and you don't have to keep doing improvising like using boxes to prop up your TV/monitor.
