"We will drive innovation that is meaningful, not incremental."

What ya’ shoulda been doing the whole time.

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.

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.

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

How about let's not do yearly installments?

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

That... That's not the issue lol.

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 😅

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

""We will drive innovation that is meaningful, not incremental."

Gotcha, so same time next year? What do you mean innovate? I played BO6's campaign because it was free and I said fuck it why not, and it was clear to me that the devs would rather do anything else than a CoD campaign.

You can't really innovate, CoD is creatively bankrupt it has been for years, are you going to go back to WW2 again?

I tried to play it on GamePass and got bored immediately.

Yeah sure you are. You said that shit before.

Lol now gamepass is going to be $40/month in 3 months.

Look what you all made Microsoft do!!

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 babes games which bear zero resemblance to the original games. It's a characature at this point.

Edit: fixed autocorrect typo.

huh, reminds me, i should get around to playing some over-detailed probably-not-actually-fun Arma-like sometime
