[@captainkill21]

COD isn’t dead by any means, but it’s no longer what it used to be. The developers are trying to appease multiple sections of the fan base at once and it doesn’t always work. From the OGs to the new age gamers, Sweats and casuals. Then you have Activision calling the shots and they are doing anything possible to make more money through thick SBMM and store bundle spam. The OG CODs were amazing because they had passion and originality. The community was also a lot better then. It was mostly casual and people enjoyed talking trash, joking and making friends in lobbies that stuck together for hours. The new age of monetized gaming has a ton of the player base sweating their brains out every game hoping they will get popular on YT, Twitch or Tik Tok. Most don’t even use their mics so they can focus. The comms bans have made this even worse. CODs popularity seems to always come in waves. COD4-BO2 was the golden era. Then you had Ghosts-BO4 where the only bright spots were the Black Ops games. The rest were mediocre trash. MW19 (including Warzone) and CW revived the franchise for OGs. They had great campaigns. Fun MPs even though both were flawed in certain ways then you had WZ and zombies. Vanguard-MWIII has been another mediocre era where SBMM and constant recycled content has made it a boring experience

I went back to BO3 for a few days out of curiosity and realized what killed COD to me wasn't the wacky bundles or the warzone stuff, but the engine change in MW2019 that changed the way your character's move, the way guns sway, the way visual recoil and strafing making your gun bounce around, the implementation of tactical sprint which made normal movement get sluggish to compensate, the modernization of the UI in game and in menus making it lack personality, and their attempts to take the gimmicks of other games and trying to push them into the newer titles and failing at it like field upgrades from the hero shooters and doors like the tactical rainbow six seige style games. The perfect example of them doing it right was when dual render scopes were introduced in Ghosts for snipers and it stuck around with little complaints since it wasn't drastic enough to impact the entirety of the game like 2019 did.

[@edgarglover3044]

I quit playing CoD regularly because they did not value the single player campaign. I bought CoD back in the day to experience the story they had to tell. Then they figured Zombies and Multiplayer was the most important feature of their IP.

[@Sir_Slimbread]

I'm just going to lay out exactly how I feel about COD. 1. I have nothing against flashy and/or licensed skins or Bundles. What I have an issue with is how much focus is on them and how much they costs. If they dialed back on them, and chopped the prices by at least half, I'd have zero complaints. 2. I have nothing against there being a skill gap created by movement. What I take issue with is when it's unintended, and unfair. AW, BO3, and IW all had the TTK, and Map Design to go with the faster, more advanced movement. MW(2019) had fast movement speed sure, but you were not intended to be able to Slide Cancel to the degree people pushed it. It was an exploit that IW decided to leave in because they knew people would jump ship from Warzone 1 if they lost their glitchy movement(hence why it was pretty much removed from MWII/Warzone 2 until it reverted back into just Warzone and MWIII released). The Slide Cancelling wasn't why I quit MW(2019)(I quit way before Slide Canceling was discovered/popularized because I didn't like any of the maps, or how the game felt), but I might have if I stuck around long enough, and was constantly getting 1 Tapped by people sliding everywhere. Again, I have nothing against Movement when it fits into the games design philosophy. Sliding around in BO3 Zombies is something I always do, because it's fun, but it's also a PvE Mode where I won't ruin anyone else's enjoyment by playing in an unfair manner. 3. The Playerbase. I guess I could call this section SBMM, but I'm not on the side of the playerbase that blames everything on it. You can still do good, and have a good even if everyone in the lobby is relatively the same skill level(hence why Esports Players have fun at competitions, and why people enjoy Ranked Play)the issue with SBMM is that it's always on. So no, it's not SBMM that a have a major grip with(even though it is an issue). My main issue is with the playerbase itself. I enjoy winning as much as the next guy, but people have taken it way too far, and seriously. All people do anymore is use whatever weapon is currently "The Meta", and will use every possible tool in their arsenal to have the most kills on the leaderboard. Again, there's nothing inherently wrong wanting to win/do good, but it boarders on toxicity and griefing, because these people ruin Objective Modes. Domination is my favorite Objective Mode, but it is boarderline unplayable in any Modern COD, because the lobby is split between 3 types of players. Those that want to actually participate. Those that want as many kills as possible so they avoid the objective(besides maybe occasionally stepping on it for 3 seconds in order for enemies to move in that direction). Those that are just there to grind out camos(these people are split into 2 Sub Categories. Those that will leave once their camo challenge is done, and those that will actually stick the game out and maybe turn into participants). I fall into the 1st and 3rd Category. I usually try to go for the objective, but even if I'm trying to go for a camo, I'll still play the objective(just not as much as usual)because I'm not a dick. 4. Map Design. I will give Sledgehammer Credit for the post launch maps in MWIII, they are actually good(from what little I've played and seen of them), and I mostly enjoys Treyarch's Map Design as well(except for the occasional stinker they put out), but I absolutely can't stand Infinity Wards Map Design. I didn't like any Base MW(2019) Map(maybe the DLC Season was better, but I didn't stick around). I barely liked any MWII Maps(towards the end of the games life Stockholm Syndrome kicked in and I started to enjoy some of the ones I despised a bit more). I maybe enjoy 50% of the MW2 maps that were Remade for MWIII(even back in the day I wasn't a huge fan). I liked most of Cold Wars maps(the ones that were universally disliked were removed because Treyarch are the goat). I didn't like any Vanguard Maps(even the classic maps that returned weren't great in it). The biggest problem with map design in Modern COD is that they are trying to make them work for every playstyle, and be realistic at the same time. 5. The COD Community. They just don't know what they want, and it gets tiring listening to them complain constantly(I am partially part of the problem as well, but I just had an extreme love/hate relationship with MWII). When the gameplay is fun they'll complain that its not realistic enough(mostly the MW(2019) crowd which is ironic because they like to slide cancel constantly which is extremely unrealistic), or that there's not enough maps so the fun gameplay is apparently irrelevant. When there are a shit ton of maps they'll complain that too many of them are Remakes, but if they are in a content drought they'll beg for literally anything(then there's a 50/50 shot they'll bitch that its a Remake even thought they begged for it). They'll complain about Shipment, but never stop playing the Shipment Playlist and complain if it goes out of rotation. They'll beg for a Weapon Balance Update, but then bitch and moan that the META changed. etc. I am a certified COD lover(mostly on the Zombies Side, but over the years I've started playing a lot more MP, and I've always been hyped when we get a good Campaign), but the state of the game and community is just rough. It wouldn't be so bad if the the "COD haters"(the people that constantly talk shit but are the same people always in line to get the new game)would just play a different game every now an then, and I don't mean play another Online FPS, I mean a completely different genre.

The only call of duty to get jet packs right was infinite warfare. The game also had the most customisation content for you classes and killstreaks. No other cod has attempted to have the same customisation since. The game was also bundled with call of duty mw4 remastered, so you got a huge package for the standard modern day price. That game just doesn't get enough love. They also tried something different and exciting with the zombies, unlike the other call of duty games. That game was the last time the developers were truly creative and wanted to make something different.

My only problem with the current movement is the slide, With dropshotting in older games, the downside is you became a still target, with the slide its just so jarring and fast with almost no downside, Advanced warfare's boosting didn't even feel that fast. Jetpack Cod's in general also never felt like movement could overpower gun skill in the way that it can now.

I think that we need a new and improved SBMM for Warzone. Even for multiplayer but I don’t play multiplayer anymore so not to sure if the same SBMM we had for the past 10+ years still works fine on multiplayer but BR is not multiplayer so you can’t keep using this 10 y/o matchmaking system on a game mode that you don’t respawn every 5 seconds. I think and this is my humble opinion is that BR needs a matchmaking system similar to FIFA PvP online multiplayer. Where you start at division 9 and the point is to get to division 1. You have 10 games to try to wins enough matches to accumulate enough points to get promoted. Fail to earn those points and win those matches and you get relegated back to w.e division you just got promoted from. Players on division 1 would never get matched with a player that’s not on division 2 or 1. Right now in COD you got players with levels 450+ and a 2.0 KD being paired up with new players and accounts they stated last week. Why?? I’ve even play random quads/trios or duos sometimes just to switch it up when my friends are not online and I get paired up with levels 30-40-50s when I’m a level 450+ and a KD of 1.55. Supper sweaty lobbies but I get the worst player of that lobby. Why? I would like to know What criteria is being used to land me with this new players?.

Honestly, I just don’t have the time to play anymore. Got a regular 9-5 type job, have a family and friends we see all the time. I have other game franchises I also want to play. Frankly, what I don’t like about newer CODS is the grind required. Back in the day, I could hop on BO2, or whatever game, use a gun for a few games and unlock QuickDraw, a sight and a few other decent attachments. Now, I gotta use the same game for hours and hours it seems to unlock the 70 levels of the attachments. In Cold War I would just grind a gun in zombies to unlock all the attachments I wanted for multiplayer. I also hate the randomness of SBMM. And frankly, it seems like players have become more campy. I’ve gone back and played OG MW2, BO2, BO3, BO1, etc, and people are moving around and making matches dynamic. In the newer games, I can play a team death match game on a medium or even small size map, and we won’t hit the score limit. That hardly ever happened back then. Heck, in MW2 2022, I would play TDM, and since dead silence isn’t a regular perk, I’d get killed by people sitting in a corner three rooms away waiting for me to walk into a room, strictly because they sat there and just listened. I also dislike the whole meta thing. It feels like with older games, every gun was viable in some way and you could have fun with any gun. Now it seems people just spam the same guns more often, and they introduce OP guns through the battle pass which you either have to grind or pay for, both of which I don’t have time or the desire to do. Idk when this changed. Like yeah, the old games had their best guns, but they didn’t seem to be nearly as spammed in regular pub games as they are now.

MP was gimmicky but still pretty fun. I’m not hating on BO2 I just despise that people especially the treyarch shills can’t see this simple fact.

Skill based matchmaking is what killed cod

Thought the vid was a short when the notification came (:

[@Brodman2k]

I like the idea of the jet pack/ movement shooter COD. I just never played the MP because people got so sweaty

[@Brodman2k]

I liked Infinite Warfare’s Campaign. MP sucked and zombies was kinda off for me

[@ro229time3]

I thought they were gonna continue the infinite warfare futuristic stuff. i was enjoying it. Then they went old school pissed me off.

[@beentheredonethat5908]

People are still buying the original cod games for zombie maps. Zombies is still a top played mode , and as new players start playing they go back and play them.

[@od13166]

example R6 Siege is came about 37 seaason at this point when COD is about 6 season and done next time charge us 70$ for same game

[@ItsAmandaBruhh]

Honestly I quit for awhile because of the slide cancel and sbmm. But also because i got tired of micro transactions and having these games feel soulless. I always played back in the golden era and was hooked. Every game was cod but felt different every year. Now that cod games have to fit in the warzone box with the same ui and gunsmith and movement, it feels all the same and gets boring fast.

Hans Zimmer composed COD4 Modern Warfare soundtrack!!!

[@HemaJoshi-kv1bv]

Every time i shoot someone they becomes invisible in my screen, 99percent players killing me before i can even react and mean while when i tried to shot someone they take full magzine to go down every player got somehow god aim in this every time someone rushing to me they always end up killing me from behind some people movement feels like ghost I can't even see him they become blurry no audio no clue where is my enemy no clue where im getting shot from no servers for Asia nothing i uninstalled it now

[@d2kwazza57]

So your video was recommended to my feed. My last cod I played because a couple work mates played it was mw2019. I haven’t bought one since then they just don’t interest me. I have been playing nothing but warframe for the last year though

[@wario1015]

I miss the coin system in black ops 1

[@George-sv1fn]

I played Call of Duty Black Ops 2 when I was a kid on The wii

[@DoubleTGameHustle]

COD isn’t dead but I think people are not liking how much they are adding/changing in the games.

[@Bruhman864]

I still play cod iw in 2024, and I still love it, especially zombies

[@tomrich1598]

Personally it was the small maps, slide cancelling, and very fast TTK. Introducing cross play, it was too hard to keep up with the meta of slide cancelling and pc has way better fps. Bo4 was the last one I enjoyed, MW2019 was fun cause the pandemic had lots of people on the game. Meanwhile I hope treyarch releases a great game this year with nostalgia. A prestige syestem and more traditional map styles would be awesome.

[@getupmydarling]

Let’s put this alternate version of Diddy down !

[@samkulifay1561]

The reason mw3 and BO1 sold so many is bc A they both came off of good games mw2 and WAW, B back then we had many more consoles players buying the game. Consoles were the new all around “entertainment system”. More people owned them and as a result more bought games,especially

[@PCPerCepTz]

Call of Duty no longer has a soul. It's an animal Carcass that goes through taxidermy once a year. We used to get three main game modes (warzone, multiplayer, campaign) that were all near the same development quality. Ever since the creation of battle royale, resources have been rationed to create the infrastructure to support it. On top employee turnover from dissatisfaction from within, all that is left are the executives and investors who more focused on replicating instead of innovating.

[@Jay18367]

The developers got spoiled with micro transactions, instead of them focusing on how to make a great game they just focus on how to get our money with skins. Skins is key. That’s all they care about.

[@Asomii]

Im sure cod as a franchise is by no mean dying and i believe it will get more popular on consoles and pcs in the future. Many people forget how massive COD Mobile is with millions active users at the same time which have one of the most wild skins in it. Of course you may say that mobile players are a separate bubble that shouldnt have been taken into consideration, but look at it this way: popularity of wild skins in COD Mobile (that makes the game colorful) directly impact warzone as its getting wild skins too (now they are usable in warzone mobile too) and it wouldnt work out if people would boycott it. Now i believe we see a shift in playerbase as even though i see that OG cod players are leaving the game due to monetisation, we get some of those mobile cod players that just got consoles and such as a replacement. And if warzone mobile suceeds we will may see it happening a little bit faster (not rapid but it will slowly build back playerbase) as people will be motivated by the fact that progress they made on phones will be also seen on consoles. I dont mean that 100% of the playerbase will move but like 1% is the minimal value. Will the cod get better, nah. But it will still be alive and popular, so thats something

[@ItzCrutchy]

The reasons COD died: no innovation in their rebranding and just copy and paste maps with little tweaks to make it "new", sweats killing the fact it was suppose to be an easy to pick up shooter like the original MW trilogy, every lobby being SBMM instead of having a seperate competitive playlist to keep the casuals, just throwing zombies in everything making the gamemode stale and boring, no good plots to the campaign and just giving up on it entirely in MW3, heavy focus on BR which was a temporary fad that is on the way out, copying ideas from other companies over originality that brought it its fanbase, stealing fan artwork without credit, treating the devs horribly to push content thats out of line with the games, Activision being sued for workplace issues and harassment, aaaaand then we get to microtransactions being jammed into every little corner of the game, cant even load the game without "buy the battle pass"

[@chrisupton6190]

17:54 that’s something that would make me leave a lobby, chill tf out ffs this isn’t ranked

[@uhhProZz]

The cdl player killed cod because weapons balance, now ever weapon is heavy if u use no stoke attachment the recoil is crazy

[@RebelMan-]

What COD should have done is not remove things from past CODs but add to it to evolve it. All they are doing now is bringing back old stuff as new and it’s not working. I want new maps, not olds thats look better, i want to try new concepts like in AW and the jet packs. Also, i think it’s time for COD and Warzone to split and both be its own game. I hate having to read two different patch notes, remembering oh yea, the renetti is nerfed in WZ but not in Multiplayer. I have to change some settings when im bouncing around warzone, zombies and MP. Either split the game up or balanced it into one gun for both games. Just stoned ranting.

[@anthonyjones1325]

I was a fighting game guy so I didn't find COD until BO3 and thought that's what COD was so I learned boots on the ground with WW2 and I went from a .9kd in BO3 to a 1.6 by the end of BO4. After that I felt a shift in gameplay, I noticed ghost bullets, being put on crappy teams where it seemed like it was on me to win. I quit and went back to fighters and adventure.

[@Armando-qf5kf]

WAIT I JUST REALIZED SOMETHING what if they did create a character 🤔

[@TheMissle]

Another day another Tdwag video

[@unknown1289]

The reason people think it died is cuz there expectations are very high and 10-15 yrs ago there was no other game like cod but now obviously there’s a variety and now modern money schemes are bundles exc.. that’s what’s killed games the money greediness

[@SycoticForeverNeverAF]

Nah. Cod itself has been shit for years now. There isnt one modern cod that holds up to Cod 4, MW2 or BO2. Your standards for cods games dropped off the cliff lmao

[@chrisupton6190]

20:15 there are better ways to do that, like USING PROPER CLASS BUILDS, USING GRENADES, MAP KNOWLEDGE, SPAWNS, ETC…

[@joshwhatf]

It's on life support because of rebirth island. We didn't kill it, Cheaters killed Cod.

[@robformicola2763]

What’s killing the game for me is shoot first die first. Marshmallow shots. Shots not registered. Stupid algorithm match making. Multiple games not full in rank.

[@MichaelSmith-fp3on]

Songs used in video??? Can someone send to me? They’re so dope

[@buffgarfield3231]

Cod WW3 is shaping up to be ultra realistic with amazing blood and bullet physics and customizable driveable drones. Gen z is going to hate it but they will play it in record numbers all the same.
