The campaign was decent, but that isn't enough to fix the utter hole the franchise has dug for itself.
Maybe we don't need these games every year. Maybe the price tag is way more concerning to people now considering how much cost of living has gone up.

>>750421153
7 was a huge letdown for Cod standards. Iirc it was down to Cod3 numbers and that game came out in 2006.

Whenever I see the numbering on a Call of Duty title I can never tell if that's the actual number or if it's a joke.

ha ha ha, but i thought it was good with hundreds of shill youtubers talking about how good the game is

>people like the campaign and DMZ, though PvEvP for the latter has a lot of potential buyers weary and distant
>but the multiplayer is just the same fucking garbage shlock its been for four years now with MWII and III both without fixing any of the old problems like garbage spawns and crack TTK + player speeds
>and it's still trending a lot of the same matchmaking bullshit that people were really starting to notice during BO6, even despite a playlists mode trying to bring back persistent lobbies
If anything it's just the downward slope of economics plus even some gun 'n' ball gamers getting tired of the yearly PvP treadmill.

>>750420712
The campaign was actually really fucking good. Like top 5 COD campaigns of all time good. Was well worth the 30 bucks i paid. Will probably play DMZ a bit and barely touch the competitive multiplayer.

I think people are just itching for anything "new" at this point. You'll always have the dudebro gamers that think the n-word is peak insult and hang around their preferred tradition, but it's literally becoming a niche right before our very eyes. And with Battlefield 6 dropping the ball completely post-launch because people trusted a post-BFV DICE at all, it's not surprising something like Wardogs seized the spotlight for the minute. Question after that is longevity/persistence.

I can tell you haven't actually played Wardogs, because boy do I have bad news for you about that game's primary audience.

The actual problem is that CoD has basically just become first person Fortnite, and the audience for these shooters is getting older and older because younger zoomers and gen alpha don't see video games as something you pay for, so they're just playing Roblox, maybe Fornite, and supplementing that with a bit of gacha shit from time to time.

honestly a ton of people are probably just waiting for warzone. they aren't paying $70 for dmz and another shitass mp. the fact that their big f2p mode, that is the only thing even remotely competitive on player retention anymore, has to wait almost three weeks after the new game's launch to get its big season update to the new shit is comical.

>>750422208
The old dudebro audience has largely either aged out of gaming or does not like how gay and "woke" modern western games are, as we saw recently with the wet fart that was Gears E Day.
Some of them still cling on to CoD, but other than that they either don't play games or just play sports games.

I don't even know how he got that hubris since any series that is on a yearly release cycle is just a drop in the overflowing bucket of releases. It's another COD entry in a series that has been on a decline for a very long time now. The campaign was good, but that is because the last decent campaign was MW2019.

It is good when your whole market is on these consoles. The new switch 2 market alone will do nice numbers. I have a friend who plays on pc and bought a physical xbox version since it's disc to digital compatible and gives you a pc version as well.

It's $70 and you have to go through the humiliation ritual of enabling tpm, secureboot shit in your bios to play an always online single player game, restart the game twice when there's an update, and multiplayer that's dead in a year. I'm done buying this shit fuck them.

call back in a couple years and see, because it happened while everyone was still reeling from the fuckawfulness of BO7 and it takes time for a proper response.

Let me know when they make mw3 2, with the same insanely fun specialist killstreak package that they have NEVER EVER properly recreated since. Going for 24 gunstreak moabs with all perks/proficiences was by far the funnest cod multiplayer has ever been.

For me it's Ground War, 6v6 is too small.

CoD is in this position because of its vocal fans/streamers
MW2019 came out and essentially saved the series (most successful CoD of all time btw), yet because it hadn't been following the formula of the 5 years preceding it it was lambasted by the 90 IQ content sphere and their 75 IQ fanbase
These same creators talk endlessly about the "Golden Age of CoD", but if you were too actually return to that philosophy (slower movement, complex maps, lower aim assist) they'd be the first to cry about it

It's the other way around. Console is at a disadvantage vs PC. Crossplay is good for them and gives more fodder for them to kill. Console players are the ones that don't want to play with PC players and their huge cheating population.

>>750429039
They been trying to kill that mentality for a while now. It'a kind of working, but too many people on pc and xbox are used to free day 1 rentals

Nobody wants to fill their hard drive with awful slop that costs an arm and leg then asks them for more money seasonally. The sub-human audience they preyed upon can't even afford video games anymore anyway. A few select whales are going to get bored eventually.

i think people overlook that COD's primary system isnt multiplayer anymore, it's Warzone which they can use to nickel and dime you through seasonpasses and dogshit skins and weapon skins (and actual weapons to powercreep the base roster), the sales of the game itself doesn't necessarily tell of the game's success when warzone is free

Yeah cod campaigns used to look pretty cutting edge but when is the same animations and roughly the same level of fidelity. Doesn't help that their writing sucks and is ruined by having to connect all the game modes that nobody gives a shit about narratively.

I wish I bought MW2019 when it was on that deep sale

I honestly stopped playing CoD because I got sick of what a jeeted clusterfuck it is. Sick of the 80GB patches, Shader Precompiles any time drivers update, massive shader caches that take up another 200GB space over time, etc. then the launcher itself that takes ages to load, with all the ads of the latest fortnite-tier skins and season passes etc and last minute "update needed, restart to reload" that makes me do it all over again. it feels like the old internet days of fullscreen popups everywhere.

You didn't play the game (I can't fault you for that).

Norks get manipulated into invading because of a Russia backed coup that places a literal psychopath in control, and also by being provided a super weapon directional backpack EMP which they think gives them a massive upper hand.

Norks also think they won't get gangbanged because in the COD4 canon, Russia is 'invading the middle east successfully', which would supposedly distract the Americans.

IMO it's believable in that context.

if you're playing valorant or counter-strike maybe, but people just straight up use the aimsnap like a pseudo lock on. you get a lot of shot from behind deaths, but if you're in front of them they can just snap to you and its been that way forever, barely even have to fight the recoil for a while unless you're bad at gunsmith.

As I said, I play on asia region. The vast majority of computer players are on mnk, and there is only a small number of console players to begin with.

I know that rotational aim assist is powerful. The 'movement tech' extreme sweat in asian-cod is about breaking it, and it does so successfully by playing only around doors/corners and denying rollers their rotational AA opportunities.

SBMM solidly places rollers and consoleniggers far below the extreme internet cafe sweats, in their own underhive.

>people still don't know that all you have to do is play hardcore to not have to play with controllers or autistic movement players

hardcore is just people running around at hyperspeed with pistols 1 tapping each other, there is no reason to use anything but the 1 shot pistols, since everything else slows down your movement speed

People are just getting bored of CoD. It's not the gaming giant that it used to be.

every modern future cod campaign is such dogshit tier 1 operator wankery edge hurr durr it's the people that must do what is neccesary so goycattle can sleep peqcefully. Im tired of cod being a worse version of Sicario.

I guess people finally got tired of playing the same game for over a decade

>>750420712
no shit, earnings come from skins and shit like that

>100+ dollaridoo price tag amidst soaring costs
>for a campaign movie i can watch online
>play sweaty multiplayer i cant relax in
>dmz, which is admittedly fun sometimes, runs into the same problem other pvpve games have which is teams of super kitted up players ganking average casual solos, causing dmz to not be fun

id rather play something else

>>750420712
Why would they release it so close to grand theft auto

>>750422663
1 is still too many. Not buying this shit.

Is this the latest buzzword said by some youtuber that the NPCs of /v/eddit will go out of their way to parrot?

Or maybe the multiplayer isnt out yet and no one gives a fuck about the 3 hour long shooting gallery.
I'm surprised they still bother with these campaigns.

You mean Warzone? Because the game came out in full 3 days ago for everybody that didn't preorder. And the MP is kind of fourth verse, worse than the first.

I tried playing whatever the latest one was before this new one and it took me through about 10 menus, then would restart about 3 times, same menus again. I deleted it.

What's the point?

This shit right fucking here. This is why video games are so tiresome nowadays. I stopped caring about new releases that are focused on MP because of all the bullshit you have to go through just to play a game. You look at the title screen main menu and it's enough to make me close the game and uninstall.

Jesus Christ. Are any of Microsoft's studios actually doing well? I can't think of any

Most western studios are in a bad spot right now and Xbox is ready to throw around a hatchet if things don't look pretty.

CoD hasn't been good since CoD4 promod was a thing. People need to get a fucking clue.

Fun.

Just did some DMZ and faggots are running around in power armor suits already, essentially impervious to small arms. They drop smoke and plate themselves back up while under fire and there isn't fuckall you can do about it if you don't have a backpack full of frags.

I had high hopes for this mode but it's just pve grinding till you have a super kit, then team up and camp everyone else.

I dearly miss old CoD 4 where the nuke scene is played completely straight and you get to watch your character die in first person from his injuries after the helicopter crashes with the mushroom cloud in the background.
Now it's all a fucking cartoon.

I didn't read the thread but I thought you should know that I don't like CoD but I love MW19.

So when are they going to make another MW19? I'll buy and play that.

don't bother dude PC players are obsessed with being pretend victims. They wiill bitch about AA saying its unfair and their k/d will be like 10

Activision like every company in the world is ran by nepo MBAs who have no problem solving skills other than "raise the prices of everything. This game should have come out a month after GTA when the dad gamers usually get bored and drop a game
