Basically every Call of Duty. Copy paste of the previous game with new paint. Never saw the appeal, gameplay is boring, just twitchy, and so many cringe people seem to love it.

They do tend to be overrated imo, especially as the series went on. They are still fairly competent so it’s not completely unreasonable either.

The original and the expansion are honestly flawless multiplayer games. Modern Warfare and its sequel perfected the bombastic cinematic war movie style campaign and addictive multiplayer progression loop.

There is no reason to play a call of duty game beyond the first black ops (maybe MW3 just to see the conclusion of the story) but there have been, what 16 games since then?

I've heard the world war II one was good too. So four games out of 16 maybe not overrated at best. Yeah not good numbers

I was disappointed when German soldiers were dropping PPsh's, but it was otherwise pretty fun.
