In the 2nd installment of Smart or Stupid, DualShockers writer, Kyle Durant, takes on the dilemma of Activision releasing a Call of Duty game every year. Both pros and cons will be listed in the article and is by no means bias in anyway.
Chance Glasco, one of the co-founders of Infinity Ward and creators of the Call of Duty franchise, has claimed that Activision once pressured the studio to include an invasion of Israel by Iran.
Former CEO describes lawsuit filed by Swedish pension fund as a "collateral attack" on Activision Blizzard.
Kotick Made $155 million from MS in the buyout, the little b*tch needs to stop whining. Thanks to this Microslop deal and massive industry consolidation thousands upon thousands of devs and other workers lost their livelihoods. This greedy piggie pervert needs shut up and f-off.
Windows Central: "The money may keep rolling in, but Microsoft is the custodian of one of the biggest selling video game series in history. If something doesn't change, I fear we'll reach a breaking point and irreparable damage will have been done."
In my view, they should probably merge MP with Warzone and essentially make it free to play like Halo Infinite. The campaign/zombies mode can be $30 yearly DLC. I know this would be insanity as most COD players essentially pay the full price of the game simply for the MP. However-with a shrinking player base they may have to consider it. Making it free would bring in a ton of players.
To late MW3 should have been a lesson but here we are two years later with a steaming pile a shite called blops7
Nothing lasts forever, eventually something will come along to make people forget about COD

Halo killer once arrived and technically call of duty killer also arrived, its name is Fortnite
Call of Duty was riding the revenue horse and charts for ~20 years. Whether undeserved or deserved.
But I endorse everyone to remind you that Microsoft could have decided differently when they took it over.
The money was certainly there, and they could have taken their time revamping the franchise:
Current-gen tech, manageable microtransactions, not imitating Fortnite and returning to core values of the franchise's origin.
They didn't.
Let's see next year. Hopefully without the then 13 years old PS4 and One hardware.
Its extremely stupid. CoD is the only game Acti has that actually makes money(besides blizzard's games) and their constant milking is killing it.
If they maybe took ~3 years to make each game, it would not only get more hype, but it would also improve the quality and give a better image to the dying franchise.
Completely stupid. I see the money making opportunities, but pumping out games just to pump out games is retarded. Fix the MANY things that are wrong with the series. I spend more time in the lobby than I do playing ANY Call of Duty game. It's annoying. I want my money back...
Well, they make ridiculous amounts of money, so it'd be stupid of Activision to not release one every year.
Stupid. Why would I buy a multiplayer game or the DLC if I knew that there would be another one only months after I finish all the achievements. FPS multiplayers are better with constant changes and DLC at decent prices...like Halo. Activision is going to over produce this game and ruin it just like Guitar Hero.
Smart for awhile they got uber rich of of idiot gamers & maybe again this year!
If you own the company & milk it to make a billion dollars how can you be mad..
gamers were the stupid ones for buy there crap we are to blame not them!!
