MW3 considering the campaign was basically a few missions on the warzone map and the fact it just remastered 2009 MW2 maps for the multiplayer should have been a 49.99 MW2 (2022) expansion at launch. Calling it a mainline entry in the series and charging full price was an insult to the modern warfare franchise.

Don't play the campaigns so can't comment.
 
STILL releasing on fucking PS4 and Xbox One?????

Lol fuck off. Zero interest. Im done supporting lazy devs with less ambition than a kid born into billions

You're lucky. The multiplayer however was 15 year old maps at launch. Should have been $50 max.

I'm fully aware. Like i said it took a couple of seasons to get going. Still ended up as one of the best recent COD's. I got my monies worth.

previously meant as BO6 content. Seems like a MW3 situation all over again?

Well MWIII is awesome, so I hope so? 🤷

But moreover it couldn't be "meant as BO6 content" because BO7 is not a sequel to BO6, completely different time periods, it's a sequel to BO2.
BO, BO5 and BO6 take place in the past.
BO3, BO4 and BO7 take place in the future
BO2 takes place in both.
The timeline is
1, 2, 5, 6, 2, 7, 3, 4
 
Nothing stops this train....

Of course it was huge, it has Modern Warfare in the title, a reboot of the most popular CoD. Also, BR began in 2018 with Blackout, and Warzone has only made it bigger.

Your saying 2019's success was down to Blackout?

Nobody bought COD because of Blackout, it was just a cool mode within the game. People came back for MW2019 because it was a return to form. Then Warzone happened.

I still enjoy the Multiplayer and Campaign. Zombies was pretty good too in COD6. I'm just not ready for another Black Ops. This is an odd departure from the regular too and fro between Black ops and Modern Warfare. This could mean Infinity Ward needs more time to hopefully innovate on the franchise. Or maybe they could be working on a brand new Warzone. Pretty Sledgehammer got gutted during the layoffs right? Smart move IMO.

Nah, people have wanted a "year 2" of support for a long time, BOCW tested the waters with this by still having updates while vanguard was out. MWIII took it a step further and the carry forward was well received; if this model makes more post-launch money for activision they will damn well continue doing it; I can definitely see them having carry forward for zombies at least since it seems to be a direct sequel to the events of the final zombie map releasing soon.

I see. Well I sure hope whatever IW got cooking is somehow innovative. I'm fiending for Battlefield 6. Not so excited about BO7. We'll see though.

Well MW3 was a shit show at launch and months after as well. Only became good by the end of its year basically.

And remember: for BO6 and 7 only the multiplayer (and Zombies) is handled by Treyarch. The singleplayer is done by Raven. It's not that difficult for either to, for example, take a map that was previously meant for BO6, put some future tech-y looking decals here and there, and call it a day*. Same goes for entire singleplayer content where they can phone it in (such as the open-zone missions in MW3 where they pretend it's Halo). I've always been a huge CoD-stan, and I even enjoyed BO4, but I haven't even bought any of the recent ones. It's just skill-based hell with these small maps and engagement-based challenges/unlocks.

*Not that there's anything wrong with using existing content that was already in the pipeline but I desperately want a return to from this franchise. I'm done with these lame ass maps (and auto-aim up the wazzoo and hyper ADD movement).

MWIII got great by Season 2, season one wasn't bad either tbh. The content for the rest of the year was unmatched imo.

As long as it keeps the "Oh these skins are SO boring!, we need to spice it up!", "More movements and aim assist please! I need to upload something to social media" and "A premium Battlepass on top of the battlepass? Well, what am i supposed to do?" crew far from Battlefield 6, have it your way.

I personally wont even watch it.

Ehh, COD releases every year and is the biggest game every year; GTA5 has sold 200+m copies since 2013, while COD seemingly has done ~350m in the same time period, and it's lifetime 500+m for COD and ~430m for GTA.

The only way it would be "GTA level huge" is if they followed the same playbook of just releasing one game and then supporting it for a decade, but it probably wouldn't sell as many lifetime copies sold that way compared to having a steady stream of new titles.

If COD took a 5-7 year break, and they came back with Modern Warfare 4 as a PS6 title, the shit would be GTA6 level huge.

MWII and GTA5 actually sold a similar amount over the first 3 days on sale. 2019 took 600 million. BOCW a similar amount. I don't think taking a seven year break makes much financial sense.

I know GTA6 will be on another level but I don't think it will outsell seven entries of COD in the space of a year.
