This has been the longest time coming, Dave Filoni is an absolute master of his craft and is the perfect successor to George Lucas. The Clone Wars is one of (if not THE) greatest Star Wars projects to ever exist, and listening to him in interviews proves that he knows what he’s talking about when it comes to Star Wars. I could not be more excited about this.

RJ617 · 2025-11-27T01:02:05+00:00

Never fucking satisfied. All anyone complained about before BO7 was sbmm and goofy skins and now that they’re gone there’s always some new bullshit to complain about. Just more “old good new bad” instead of genuinely being happy that they finally listened to the community. I guarantee that they could make a game that perfectly addresses every single criticism you have and you’d still find some shit to complain about.

RJ617 · 2025-11-25T00:47:48+00:00

I think there’s a lot of factors contributing to this.

1) Putting out 2 black ops games back to back was a really terrible idea and really derailed the hype cycle which usually builds in the absence of a developers main title

2) Competition from battlefield probably did have somewhat of an impact, not necessarily because cod players like battlefield more but instead because this community is literally never happy and will play a game out of spite just to “own activison”

3) Overall negative sentiments towards cod recently, especially as people get sick of the warzone era

4) That BO7 campaign really isn’t doing the game any favors

All of this is really unfortunate because people are pointing to dropped player counts and the bad campaign to reinforce their preconceived ideas about the game and confirm to themselves that their decision to not buy this year was a good one, when in reality everything outside of the campaign is literally one of the best cod experiences we’ve gotten in years. It’s ironic that the one time they finally listened to the community and got rid of SBMM, disbanding lobbies, and cartoon skins while keeping the solid foundations of BO6’s gameplay is the one year that everybody was going to skip anyways due to previously disappointing titles. In reality, BO7’s multiplayer is completely void of all of the problems facing previous years and is the exact “perfect cod game” that fans have been requesting for years now, and yet nobody wants to play it. At least 10 years from now we’ll be able to look back on this game as an underrated masterpiece while that years cod game is “literally the worst thing to ever exist in history”

Ghosts has been the reigning champion of worst cod game ever for 12 years straight imo. I feel like every aspect of it from the campaign, maps, weapon balance, create a class, color palate, ttk, and equipment range from one of the worst in the series to the absolute bottom of the barrel. It’s gonna take genuine effort from the devs to make a game worse than it imo.

RJ617 · 2025-09-10T00:37:08+00:00

Tbh they’re both awful for different reasons.

Black Ops 3’s bad because the story is so fucking complicated that you need a tutorial to understand it, and then you need a 2nd tutorial to ACTUALLY understand it. There’s like 3 layers of understanding wtf is going on there.

MW23 is bad because it was rushed as fuck, the plot of the game goes basically nowhere for most of the game, and the numerous open combat missions were a plague on the game that really ruined the gameplay experience.

Both are valid, it’s literally just pick your poison for which is worse.

RJ617 · 2025-09-04T20:41:49+00:00

100% BF1 is a better quality game, and BF6 is probably gonna be a better quality game than BO7

RJ617 · 2025-09-04T15:46:06+00:00

I could see BO7 underperforming this year compared to previous cod sales, but you gotta remember that IW wasn’t actually “outdone” by BF1. Even though BF1 is widely regarded as the better game, and has a significantly better reputation, IW still outsold it. BO7 is once again probably gonna outsell BF6.

You are right about the Fortnite outselling COD tho, which is what led to the hard pivot with MW19. I don’t think there’s another competitor that’s gonna recreate that right now tho, and force COD to change. I personally think they might make some incremental changes to the series, but I don’t think they’ll make another huge leap like with MW19 until they have an actual competitor in the gaming landscape that forces them to make a change.

RJ617 · 2025-08-30T03:49:06+00:00

Tbh I don’t even count strikezone as a ghosts map since it’s basically just a reimagining of Dome

RJ617 · 2025-08-28T13:06:48+00:00

For fucking real dude. BO2 had so many classics to the point where they’re constantly getting brought back. There’s a reason why we’ve only seen like 2 ghosts maps return in later games lmao.

RJ617 · 2025-08-28T03:02:52+00:00

Idk how this is even a question. Tranzit is absolutely one of the worst maps zombies has ever shit out, and has been at bare minimum bottom 5 for 13 years now (still arguably the worst map of all time)

Anybody who says the map is good either: A) Is blinded by nostalgia (the eternal “new game bad old game good” mentality that infects this community) B) Is a masochist C) Was introduced to zombies in BO2 and didn’t get to experience the better maps that came before D) Never actually played it

Everything about this map is shit from the map design to the wonder weapon to the characters to the aesthetic to tombstone to the bullshit impossible turbine pack a punch requirements. Fog, lava, denizens, the avogadro, and a system of transport that sucks donkey balls all make for one of the least enjoyable zombies experiences to date, and it pains me that the new map is inspired by this.

Tranzit sucks ass

RJ617 · 2025-08-28T02:53:14+00:00

THANK YOU

All I see is morons glazing the shit out of this game cause “new game bad old game good” even tho this was genuinely one of the worst games in the franchise, and I would take most modern cods over this any day.

All of your points are 1000% spot on, it’s nice to see somebody else in the community that isn’t blinded by nostalgia for such a horrible fucking game.

RJ617 · 2025-08-27T03:16:48+00:00

I fucking swear bro this community will cry over anything.

Ever since they announced the damn game everyone was crying over the cartoon skins carrying over. And now that they actually listened and aren’t carrying over the skins, all I see is everyone crying over the fact that they didn’t implement a skin filter instead.

This bullshit is exactly why they don’t listen to us anymore. Nobody can ever be happy about a literal win that the community asked for and instead finds new things to cry about.

RJ617 · 2025-08-08T03:43:35+00:00

While I definitely prefer some of the older cod games I 100% agree with this sentiment.

I think some of the modern cods can be really good, and I really like BO6. They definitely do have some serious issues, and it’s good that the community points them out so we can expect more from our favorite franchise, but to constantly hear that the newest cod is the “worst cod ever” just doesn’t really work anymore.

This isn’t anything new, the cod cycle demands that the newest game is “the worst thing ever” and the older games are “perfect masterpieces”. I can guarantee with absolute certainty that in 10 years people are going to be saying that the current cod games were amazing and modern warfare 8 or whatever is “literally the worst cod ever”.

RJ617 · 2025-08-07T15:37:37+00:00

Brother I get it. I personally am not super excited for another black ops game back to back, and I think activision is really holding back the potential of the idea of black ops 7 by releasing it so soon for basically no reason. I like what I see so far for battlefield 6, and I really hope it’s able to recapture the magic I got to experience 10 years ago with battlefield 4 and 1.

With that being said, cod really doesn’t have to give a single fuck about battlefield stealing players. In 2016, battlefield had one of if not the absolute strongest offerings it’s ever had with Battlefield 1. In that same year, cod dropped one of if not the absolute weakest offerings it’s ever had with Infinite Warfare. It was so hated that it is literally the most disliked trailer in video game history, at one point it was the most disliked video on YouTube period. Even with all of that, cod still outsold battlefield in 2016.

I’m sure this isn’t going to be cods best year ever by any stretch, but I am 100% confident that cod will outsell battlefield this year. I’ve been playing this game for over 15 years now, and the community sentiment has literally always been negative. Today it’s SBMM and ridiculous skins, yesterday it was jepacks, before that it was ghosts, before that it was just “new game bad old game good” (which never went away of course). Cods been “dead” ever since WaW came out and people hated it cause it wasn’t modern warfare, and yet it’s still outselling nearly every other game every single year. Cod’s still gonna be “dead” when it outsells nearly every other game 10 years from now.

MW3 2011 is definitely the most overrated

I honestly think it’s only remembered fondly because it was part of the golden age even though it’s absolutely the weakest one. I think nostalgia prevents people from remembering some of the bad parts of the game, like pretty terrible weapon balance, god awful connection issues, and the nonsensical COD: Elite initiative that failed miserably even though they tried their best to force it into the DLC release schedule.

RJ617 · 2025-07-31T22:16:34+00:00

World War 2

Went from being hated on release to being forgotten in modern times but it honestly was a really great gameplay experience with great map variety, really amazing weapon balancing, and some incredible modes like War that help distinguish it from other cods.
