Shittiest game franchise ever, Wake the fuck up people!

Sad that some think there is only one game out there.

Lots of great games for all to enjoy. Many with great MP modes.

So COD2 is worse than COD3? Is COD4 worse than W@W? Treyarch have only made one COD game that beat IW which was Blops.

That's one of the worst assertions I've seen stated on here.

I'm 16. I like Treyarch more than IW. Lesson- Don't assume, it makes an ASS out of U and ME.

It's kind of obvious, the last three games had the same thing said about them. yet failed to improve.

@TheOne I don't see how it's obvious. If it did not have call of duty in the name I'm sure that people would think this game could be the best fps to date commercially and critically.

The problem with your strategy is that i always play the single player 1st and never touch the multiplayer until i'm done with it. That could take 2 weeks or a month if i'm busy with work.

By then, everyone has already ranked up so high and are trained assassins that by the time i step in everyone goes after the rookie, which is usually me... And if i play with a team i often get kicked out.
Not to say i don't get any kills but it's usually in the single digits while everyone else is in the double digits. I think one time or another i got as high as 8...that's the routine pretty much for every fps i play which takes the fun out of multiplayer if there is any to be had.

I pretty much rely on spec ops missions and single player which is why anything multiplayer is not a huge selling point for me.

Well regardless of exclusives, or whatever else there is to play on Xbox or ps, CoD has has still been the top selling game on ps platform since forever also.....so no surprise that the most popular game franchise on any console could easily have a revival due to servers coming back online...this is just credit to xbox backwards compatibility & thats good thing for Xbox gamers.

@Frosty orrrr maybe it’s a breath of fresh air to be able to go back to the peak of the series .. and it’s beem great lol

Why worry when they have OS, Server and Background Data in their hands...
Gaming is just the small piece, at the top left in a few K piece jigsaw.

If you buy a house with cash for 1 million dollars you still own the house. Microsoft don't need to make the money back.

But its not money back, its about how it goes missing.

Unreal Tournament and Quake III were simply amazing ... CoD's and CoD-likes' rise killed the arena shooter popularity ...
Unreal Tournament 2004 is my favorite in the series.
Didn't enjoy Unreal Tournament III, Quake Champions that much.
Too bad Epic cancelled Unreal Tournament 2014 becoz of Fortnite

I got hooked on the QIII Urban Terror mod (and my work colleagues I introduced them to)... LAN Sessions at the closing of the doors at work, into the night , sinking beers and eating pizza..... Good times.

I don't know if I understand what you mean. It's a feature regardless of the time into the generation.

Let's take Armored Core 6 for example. Let's say I'm interested in checking out the previous Armored Core games, sure would be nice if I could play them on my current-gen console.

We're about 3 years into current-gen and old games are hitting in the top 5 for sales charts in the month.

I do get where you're coming from with older games possibly being better than the newer games, but the feature stays the feature. I can only speak for myself, but when there's a lull in game releases or nothing great is out, I like to go back to old titles. It's just nice to not have to have a bunch of consoles out to do so.

I think moving forward it'll be less and less of an issue as like with the PS5 you can access most all of the PS4 games, but I like going back to PS1 and PS2. Would be awesome to kind of make backwards compatibility a prioritized feature moving forward. Hell, Sony was the first to implement it.
