    The reasons are many, but the main one is to ensure we provide an absolutely unique experience each and every year.

    From the company that brings you the same fucking game year over year, with paid dlc to get the same maps from old games again.

    “We will drive innovation that is meaningful, not incremental.”

    What ya’ shoulda been doing the whole time.

      Meanwhile if CS players have ANYTHING change in the game they throw a fit… “innovation” does not enhance FPS franchises, it breaks them.

        CS players aren’t having to pay for a new game every year either.

    CoD4 came out in 2007. There’s more than one series in Cod lineup. Nothing will change, there will still be a CoD per year.

      I think it may be time to install CoD4 again. Damn was that campaign good.

        Why not CoD2?

        MW3 was the one where Russia invades the US, right? That one was good. I think the next one, BO2, was the last one I played. After that, they really fell into the rut of minor iteration.

        I might get around to playing some of the others that aren’t in the “high tech” genre. Apparently there was one set during Desert Storm.

    Back to back releases isnt the problem.

    Remember the "Call of Duty games are DLC" jokes? Well that is literally what they have become. There's no soul in them anymore. They are just a vessel to sell skins.

    The new MW3 was literally just an expansion pack for the new MW2 sold for full price.

    Same as BO6/7. People are only willing to be milked so much. It’s why when people say what their favorite CoD is, the oldest game mentioned is Black Ops 2

    I saw it had robots and shit and noped out of even thinking about buying it.

    I can’t keep up with what the current cod game is, they’re wannabee super hero babes which bear zero resemblance to the original games. It’s a characature at this point.

    I tried to play it on GamePass and got bored immediately.
