Hot take, the cod community is partially the reason cod fell off in the first place.
Hear me out, back when cod was at its peak activison/treyarch etc they tried to give us new original stories like ghosts, AW, IW WW2 ESPECIALLY ghosts and what did the cod community do? Review bombed it or called it mid. No wonder activison/treyarch went back to milking the MW and BO franchises because that’s all y’all wanted, never give new stories a chance just want to milk Mw and BO.
Now we ended up with games like BO3, BO6, BO7 and MW3 (reboot). We would have PROBABLY got the future warfare or Roman warfare canceled games if y’all just gave new stories a chance, if the cod community’s didn’t treat ghosts harshly maybe we would have a got a cod ghosts aftermath.
It is fully activison/treyarch mainly activison fault for what happened on making bad games like vanguard (even though parts of that game is good), now look at the community now, fast paste unrealistic movement, ACTUAL mid to bad games or just ok games. At least ghosts is one of if not only games that tried something new with aliens rather than zombies all the time, ghosts is so underrated and debatable to be better than haft the reboot MW franchise. Including BO7, 6 and MW3.
