Is the game finally dying?
I got cold war when it first came out and I think it’s one of the most enjoyable COD’s i’ve ever played. I return to have a little ‘phase’ every few months. Started playing again recently and noticed a significant lack of player compared to when I played it last year/in 2024 at some point. I consistently come up against the same players, days apart at some points, to the point where I look for certain player names on the leaderboard when starting. I can’t get into a lobby in Face Off/FireTeam and even struggle when looking for HC games. The only game mode I can seem to get a lobby consistently within ~3-5 minutes is nuke town 24/7. Has the player count really dropped that significantly? I’m so upset to not be able to play modes I used to love, and every game I play atleast 80% of players are prestige 30 level 2000 or something stupid. I understand it’s an old game and won’t have tens of thousands playing it, but as I mentioned when I was playing consistently for a month or so last year these issues weren’t a thing. Sorry for the long message.
TL;DR The game seems so much more dead compared to last year
Edit: After posting I foresaw a lot of snarky comments along the lines of ‘duh it’s old of course it’s dying’ if you want to say something along those lines please don’t I get that lol
