The real problem is that Call of Duty is completely drained from any replay value. Why is this series still going? Why?
It isn’t even a joke anymore.
Because it’s been the best-selling game of the year almost every year for 20 years.
and even when it’s bad, it’s still better than 95% of what the rest of the market can put out
i do think the franchise is on borrowed time though
feels like this opinion comes from an alternate universe
I don’t think so. I struggle to think of any devs other than id, valve, respawn or DICE/Embark that can make FPSs as solid and complete as CoD.
cough cough hunt showdown cough cough ultra kill cough cough in fact any fps published by devolver digital cough cough arma(any version of it including dayz) cough cough hell let loose cough cough borderlands cough cough intruder cough cough the metro series cough cough rising storm cough cough stalker cough cough
All of these fps, many of them with other tags as well but all of them are fps and almost all as solid and all of them more complete CoD(at least based on the notion that all there is to cod is shooting people and occasionally capturing an objective on the less popular game modes)
[citation needed]
CoD4 came out in 2007. There’s more than one series in Cod lineup. Nothing will change, there will still be a CoD per year.
I think it may be time to install CoD4 again. Damn was that campaign good.
Why not CoD2?
MW3 was the one where Russia invades the US, right? That one was good. I think the next one, BO2, was the last one I played. After that, they really fell into the rut of minor iteration.
I might get around to playing some of the others that aren’t in the “high tech” genre. Apparently there was one set during Desert Storm.
The new games aren’t all bad for the campaigns. MW2019 was pretty good and Black Ops 6 had a really fun campaign, it had a pretty good story too at least til the end.
Why not CoD:UO? (Please play with us, most unique CoD and servers still online!)
Back to back releases isnt the problem.
Remember the “Call of Duty games are DLC” jokes? Well that is literally what they have become. There’s no soul in them anymore. They are just a vessel to sell skins.
How about let’s not do yearly installments?
It was absolutely insane that they decided to do it this way in the first place. It wasn’t perfect before, but at least having multiple teams on rotation gave them some time to cook their own game.
But now Treyarch had to help with vanguard zombies (and also mw zombies I think?) while developing their own game, while also developing their own game for the next year
I’ve enjoyed playing cod since I was a kid but this shit has been a clown fest for years now
I quit when they added fucking dabbing and dumbass skins for money. I just wanted to play like back in the day on my 360
Problem is, Treyarch were the only competent studio after all of IW left. So they have been constantly called in to help to clean up the mess the other studios keep making.
Now development on the games is split across Activision studios all over the world, so the chance of there ever being a coherent self contained experience again is basically zero. Their scope got too big and they couldnt find the right people to take it on.
The new MW3 was literally just an expansion pack for the new MW2 sold for full price.
Same as BO6/7. People are only willing to be milked so much. It’s why when people say what their favorite CoD is, the oldest game mentioned is Black Ops 2
Depends what generation you ask, because a lot of the CoD audience now, never even played Black Ops 2. Which I agree, was the last good game, I’ll give credit to BO3 for it’s amazing zombies experience, with mod tools on PC, which was a surprise.
That… That’s not the issue lol.
This year competition excuted well in the same launch window. Arc Raiders and Battlefield, I have played neither, people seem happy with. Looking at Steam charts, Delta Force looks popular too and CS is always popular. It’s taken like 15 years but the not Call of Duty and not sort of weird gunplay in modern times/military shooters compared to Counter Strike (I play counter strike and I know it’s gunplay and movement are weird and harsh for newcomers) are hitting their strides. Call of Duty is facing the best most suitable amount of competition since the first modern warfare
As a huge zombies fan who has skipped every game since BO3; I kinda hope they never make a good game that I feel like I want to play ever again… Because it won’t run on Linux and I don’t want to dual boot or get a console 😅

Seems sweet! I’ve been enjoying Sker Ritual lately
I saw it had robots and shit and noped out of even thinking about buying it.
I can’t keep up with what the current cod game is, they’re wannabee super hero
babesgames which bear zero resemblance to the original games. It’s a characature at this point.Edit: fixed autocorrect typo.
*charcuterie
Anything that pisses off milsim obsessed manchildren is a win in my eyes. You have hundreds of games at your disposal, go play them.
Huh?
I just think the game looks and plays bad. I’m clearly not the target demographic, but the older COD games I grew up with are a completely different tone/style/game to the modern arcade shooters.
I said I noped out of it, not that everyone should.
Here lies the problem: A lot of FPS players literally only want ONE fucking tone for EVERY FPS, which is like. Serious-looking milsim appearance that takes place in the present day. That’s it. They’ll literally attack any futuristic game as “it’s a mobile game” and “not realistic”, as if that should be the only thing that dictates if an FPS is good or not. I for one am tired of it, especially considering most of the people who are extremely anal about that are either chuds or fascists who want to roleplay as a super soldier fighting for the good ol’ US of A. So when people constantly talk about how “ah this thing has robots I don’t want to play it” it immediately triggers that suspicion in me.
Not to mention, this whole obsession with “realism” to me is absolutely stupid. I don’t need to see literally every pore on an old man’s face for my game to feel good. Hell, you have games like Hades II, Silksong, MOTHER 3, and a fuckton of other games that are just extremely good that none of those people try because they’re not realistic.
Lol now gamepass is going to be $40/month in 3 months.
Look what you all made Microsoft do!!
Yeah sure you are. You said that shit before.
I tried to play it on GamePass and got bored immediately.
