Unfortunately nothing will substantially change for the better since COD has reached the final circle of games that are too big to die. This includes Madden and other franchises where the majority of players are casual players that dont follow game news and blindly buy everything year after year since its the only game they play. Activision can shit in the mouths of its playerbase and a large percentage will always be there to eat it up and ask to pay for more. I skipped COD this year and it has been so refreshing to play other games that dont stress me out or gaslight me into thinking im crazy or ask me to open my wallet every 5 minutes. It feels like I got out of an abusive relationship lol. I just had to come to grips that this series is no longer the same one that got me hooked 15 years ago and that Im no longer the target market. Luckily the gaming landscape has expanded over the years and I am getting to experience other games that treat me with more respect for my money.

The real problem with Call of Duty as of late is people now have full time jobs streaming video games so people are literally picking things apart in ways it has never been. Most problems streamers have issues that most people in general don’t have. Also people on the internet now have different ways to voice opinions and that can sway people from buying or supporting something they once would. Also people cheating in game drives others away. We honestly can’t blame COD for others ruining experiences for another. The one thing they need to do is make sure their product is complete before releasing it, we shouldn’t have to wait 6 months to get a fully established product

Just analyzing the steam charts, even this dip in player numbers is normal. It's simply just the initial launch hype, people are excited to try out the new guns, perks, maps... eventually those "casual gamers" will switch to other games (ie: other new games out right now like Poe2, Delta Force, Marvel Rivals). Most people don't stick to 1 single game and purely play that for the entire year, gamers will switch games, hop around, and just have fun. This dip in COD's player numbers is normal, even looking at the steam charts for MW2 and MW3's launch its the exact same. The average player numbers throughout the year for MW2/MW3 after the launch was around 60k-70k players... thats what we're seeing with BO6.

Agree with this completely. I myself played the initial hype, played a lot of zombies and even tried out the new dlc map. But now rivals has got my attention. Most people aren't interested in camo grinding or 100%ing a call of duty game which can explain the drop in players

I am what is called a "casual" gamer 43 years old with a full time job and family, i have very little time to play and maybe play a couple of hours every 3 or 4 days, i can take the crappy skins (Buy if you want) and the seasons etc.. hell even the SBMM but its the crappy servers and connections that year on year get worse is what puts me off. I have a good internet connection and there are many games that you are instantly killed or lose all of the 50/50 battles. This is what puts me off playing. The last good COD game was MW in 2020 still very playable today. Its been downhill since and its not going to get better until players stop buying the product its that simple.

i dont think anyone really cares what activision is doing.. If you look at metrics from other call of duties, the same fucking thing happens where after about a month or two after launch, they lose 30-40% of the player count where the other 60-70% of the core players stick around. I think both you and Niro make videos basically crying to your community because they're the only people who will agree with you.
@boogerboy8717 күн бұрын
You hit the nail on the head, and the problem is CoD wants to make money, but it's helps to listen every once in a while to the players on what we're having problems with. Some of this really, really needs to be addressed and fixed. Otherwise they will lose all of us because it's just too much to deal with.

For last couple weeks been playing Delta Force, and discovered, that it is actually a great and fun game, just took some time (couple days) to get used to it. Don't think ill ever be going back to Call of duty MP.

I worked very hard to get prestige master in a race with my friends and the only reason I won was because they each gradually gave up on the game. So when I got to prestige master, I saw the crud COD was doing and thought ‘why did I waste my time and passion on this game when they killed it already?’ And it upsets me a lot.

So now everytime i get on i basically have to open bo6 load into a match then restart my xbox so i can play without lagg. This only happens with bo6.

Same here. The SBMM isn't that big a deal to me, and it's not just farming me wins, either. I'm not the best at these kinds of games but still enjoy them. But logging in to play several lobbies in a row and constantly getting wiped gets old quick. However, the cheating issues are there. Not as bad while the game is still new. I don't like the monetization practices, though. The special blueprints with stats beyond what base game can give is quite annoying.

I was one of the biggest supporters for this game when it first dropped amongst my friends. I cannot and will not keep supporting this shit when they literally pump out a new THIRTY DOLLAR BUNDLE EVERY TWO DAYS. The fact that they have over 300$ worth of skins out when the game isn't even out of its first season is absolutely egregious when you can tell the money clearly isn't going into fixing ANYTHING.

My personal opinion is if you don't like something you don't have to buy it ain't my call of duty's making you buy their crappy skins even though some are cool on the main reason is and I said like 90% of the reason that people are leaving is because of all the hacking going on All I ain't bonding ball hacks and God knows what else they need to get a control on that every game you got to buy that's how all the rest of the games make money that are free like fortnite that depend on their store to make money call of duty depends on their store for money so they can pay for the DLCs cuz once you pay $70 for the game get the DLCs for free at least on Xbox I don't know about PC and you're 100% right modern warfare 3 was 100% a rip-off All I can say is if you don't like something don't buy it I don't think I've seen a AAA gang being released from a AAA company in years you have a good one keep having a good concept

In general, I believe KZbin video creators are partly responsible for the state the game is in today. The core issue with Call of Duty actually emerged when Verdansk was removed. The way the game was played fundamentally changed with the map, yet people who wanted Verdansk back were mocked. Comments like, “You just want to play the same thing,” or “Innovation is necessary,” dominated the discourse. However, everything introduced under the guise of innovation was ultimately ego-driven and broke what was already working. Instead of addressing these core issues, KZbin creators focused on discussing loadouts, loot boxes, systems, UX, and other superficial elements because it suited their content needs. But the truth is, after Verdansk, the game was never the same. Even though we call it Warzone, the game’s true name is Verdansk. Everything that followed was a downward spiral of poor decisions. What Call of Duty needs to do is simple: make minor additions to Verdansk, give it a fresh coat of paint, and re-upload it. This would likely be their best move, as for the past four years, every attempt to fix something has only ended up breaking something else.

Remember when cod ghost multiplayer maps, doors were interact-able? Metal doors, huge metal doors, wooden doors, warehouse doors intractable. BO3/BO4 running on walls was, and is still the best game feature for BO games. WW/BO3 able to customize weapons in zombies instability when playing zombies? I don’t see why they changed that since then. Why re-grind a cod game again and again. Plus, purchased/grinded content in a previous game is never transferred over into the new game.
