As a BO6 enjoyer I returned to MWII to refresh my memory and here are my random thoughts:
>UI is still awful not sure how I forgot this, granted BO6 has the best UI in nu CoD
>Timed perks, lol. The perk packages are more confusing than a simple pick and choose system, it's a case of trying to simplify something but ended up overcomplicating it
>Guns look worse than MW19 obviously but there are some exceptions like the M16
>Normal camos are mediocre, a step down from MW19 camos that aren't mastery camos
>The brightness slider behaves differently from BO6, just an observation
>The lobby music is the most generic shit I've ever heard
>Cinematic intros, I missed them
>Sound design is still great
>Game looks more colorful than BO7 lmao
>No deaths in the leaderboard yikes
>Fast TTK, slow movement and the lack of stealth options empower no one but campers which is apparent from the level 1000 players who camp in one area throughout an entire match
>Yet it still has that same issue where tac sprint is too fast which makes close range engagements faster and more confusing than BO6 somehow
>Showdown remaster? nice.
>Nevermind, the visibility sucks and Hardpoint doesn't work on Showdown
>Weapon leveling takes forever
>Unlocking weapons is so dumb why do I need to unlock this weapon before getting this one why can't I just get them through basic level progression?
>No dots on minimap enemies won't even look behind them while I'm shooting
If you don't care about aesthetics then honestly I don't think this game is worse than MW19? the maps do a lot of heavy lifting and the meta isn't bad. Still a clunky game that only appeals to campers. Will never play again/10

>They should relesse it now summer 2026
That's only a huge rumor, but they might have been looking at the release windows around July-August. They could still go through with a standard release date though...
>>
>>2340004
They should definitely do it. It’s not like they ever release a finished product in november anyway. Going up against gta is suicide especially with how antihype abd despised cod is right now thanks to treyarch
>>
>>2339469
>>The lobby music is the most generic shit I've ever heard
There's a bundle that allows you to change the theme to the og mw2 one. I never switched back to the default theme after getting that
>>Showdown remaster
Still pissed off that sludgehammer didn't port all these maps into mwiii. 5 shitment reskins were apparently more important
>>
>>
>>
>>2340006
>They should definitely do it
I'd rather they did around that time too, honestly. I wouldn't put it past them to take GTA6 premiere into consideration. And with so much bad faith after bo7 it could be a realistic time frame.
>>
>>
>>2340022
Treyarch made black ass 6 and 7, thats a fact. Everyone hates bo6 and 7 thats a fact. Theyre the least played cods of all time thats a fact. Black ops 7 is the biggest flop lowest selling game in cod franchise history and it had zero competition on release thats a fact
>>
>>
>>2340033
>typing "thats a fact" like a broken record as if that makes your lie seem true
Kek. Everyone hates mwii and that game is the biggest flop in terms of player retention and it also had zero competition on release. In fact, it was riding on mw19's hype and it still flopped
>>
>>
>>
>>2340036
MWII was the best selling fastest selling cod of all time. BO7 was the lowest selling cod of all time. Player retention wise MWII lost less players than bo6 and 7 did. Mwii never slipped on the psn charts like bo6 and 7.
>>
>>
>>2340022
Except 3arc released a DLC to bo6 in the form of bo7. I did get it for myself to see what shit was cut from the base game btw, but bo7 is the worst cod in terms of sales and player retention (which are probably the only metrics bozos at ATVI care about).
Blops 7 basically sold only 401k copies on Steam in the first 26 days. Which is an 82% drop from bo6's 2.3 million in the same period of time. For instance in the UK and Europe Overall you had sales drop fell 61-74% and in the US sales went down by double digits around November 2025. Not to mention bo7 ranked lower yearly too. It debuted 7th in US 2025 sales versus Black Ops 6's third place in 2024. Source, not my ass:
https://www.thegamer.com/call-of-duty-black-ops-7-2025-sales-numbers/
https://www.gamespot.com/articles/call-of-duty-black-ops-7-sales-were- significantly-down-from-black-ops-6 -report/1100-6536893/
And yeah, MWII tarnished good will people had coming from previous games, true, but it doesn't change the fact bo7 has lower player retention than the shittiest entry in Insanity Ward's history.

>>2340066
Nah I see you iw tards already feeling the flop incoming and trying to come up with reasons as to why modern borefare 4 failed like "muh treyarc". You spouting random numbers when no one asked sounds like a severe case of seething cause you just got found out
>>
>>
>>
>>2340070
Man, this is just sad. I feel sorry for you. I don't care if it's IW or 3ARC making a CoD. As long as it's good. If you're in such haze that you can't admit hard data you're presented with then it's simply your issue to work through, or not. As for the "random numbers" bullshit, you're welcome to prove me wrong with whatever you dig up to back up your "argument". That is, if you really want to discuss CoD and not practice shit flinging that serves no purpose.

Paradox Junction is the only good map in bo7 zombies.

BO7 is becoming as fun as MWIII and BO6.
BO7's maps are boring, they're like boxes.
Old maps are good, especially Plaza and the other one from BO2.
Effects and tracers are still trash, but the skins are getting better.

That's what the leakers were saying before activision started hitting them with c&d orders. They're probably rushing to change all their retarded gameplay decisions after all the backlash. They'd be retarded not to.
>>

>>2340709
>They'd be retarded not to
This. I mean Cecot can get off to all those decisions anytime but everyone and their grandma has been very vocal about stupid things like charging perks (among many others obviously) that just need to go for MW사). They will definitely turn that shit around.
>>
>>2340716
The problem is that CoD has been "turning that shit around" with each game that released after mwii. This is getting ridiculous now. Everyone and their grandma has to fix IW's retarded decisions, even IW. When will it end

There's place for whacky and there's place for moderate. You want the former? You've got a bunch of games for that. Play fortnite or overwatch or some other hero shooter. Nothing wrong with that, but there's no need to make CoD into something it's not (though the damage has been done already).
Besides you've already got crazy to outrageous skins already and you can play BO7 zombies or any previous one that have rainbow colored tracers.

Someone already posted blops3 and it wasn't as ridiculous even if it took things far from waw-blops2. Id say it was fine even. Blops4 is where the spiral started. Sad thing is it infected (pun intended) the main game. Good thing Fortinte-tification is beginning to die out and we're gonna have less "whacky" shit.

Meh, their day one lineup is getting even shittier than previous years. Regular peeps stop caring, like with EA play or Ubisoft+. Nobody wants to pay for those. Plus it didn't help BLOPS7 that it was on Gamepass did it so I don't see how this impacts next cod. And IIRC there's a noticeable decline in people playing cod since last year or two. We need some stat enjoyers to chime in here.

MW19 is indeed better than BO7 when it comes to artstyle and presentation including sound effects, animations and UI. But the gameplay is where it gets tricky.
You see, both games are on opposite ends of the CoD spectrum. One tries so hard to be milsim and tactical, sacrificing basic CoD rules on its way while the other is embracing the alternative jetpack era where they had elevated movement and invisible camouflage. If you're a centrist doesn't lean towards eithe ways then both games suck ass so it's up to you if you prefer larping as milsim or jumping across the walls in a futuristic environment.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>2344179
I played bo7 for the first day before refunding. All i remember are automatically shutting doors which siphoned off every room in the map so each map was pretty much some devil may cry room bullshit. Worse than any door in mw19. Worse cod than any cod title.

My woke take is that a CoD game should only have 20 6v6 maps maximum at the end of its lifecycle. If you're someone who actually studies the maps then MW3 and BO7 will be overwhelming games and you'd be better off sticking with ranked mode where they play the same 4 maps.

But if it was the first hit of the hammer then flops 7 is the final nail to the coffin. Bleeding players as it did, bringing nobody back. Not that zoomies playing this shit care, cause they're too stupid for that or to even takenotice.

Twitter only pays out on engagement from blue checks and has been lowering its rates every six months since they rolled out the program.
Shit this month they changed it to where you only get paid the highest amount if the engagement is coming from your home country. It's like a 70% rate cut if all the traction is coming from third worldies.

Reinstalling MWII only made me realize how much heavy lifting Treyarch did for the new engine missing a basic spawn system for instance. Remember the early days of BO6 when they were still figuring spawns out, jeez. Cold War engine was clunky af but it came with a good spawn system right from the start. And visual recoil only hurts mouse and keyboard players. Switching to a controller is like turning on easy mode with how strong the aim assist is.
>>
>>
>>
>>2350707
>has shitty spawn
Based on what? No one right in their mind would call it shitty when CoD thrived on predictable spawns while MWII randomly generates its spawns like AI creating a confusing gameplay loop that forces everyone to sit in one corner because gun blazing doesn't work at all, even if they tried.
>the worst netcode in history, poor hit registration, stuttering
MWII servers crashed more than BO6 ever did. Ask Reddit.
>plastic toy guns, Franken guns, wacky skins
Applies to MWII as well. Throwing stones when your house is made of glass? bad move.

Slow TTK sounds like a good thing in theory but CoD's netcode is nowhere as good as Halo to actually do it in practice. Warzone is a clear example of this, the TTK is supposedly slow but it registers so fast that it feels just the same as playing CoD Ghosts. BO4 did it right but I think the servers were okay because no one was playing CoD at the time, lol.

>has shitty spawn, the worst netcode in history, poor hit registration, stuttering, plastic toy guns, Franken guns, wacky skins, boring zombies and octopuses as operators
Yes.
It's a 3shit game.
All of this should have been expected but for whatever reason this retarded ass playerbase is always surprised when 3shart adds 3shart shit to CoD

One thing I noticed is how stupid MWII players are. Cultivating the players and creating safe gameplay keeps them contained in their own bubble with no way to improve or learn. Campers in other games will actually try to get you by spamming mines and shock charges with a shotgun secondary to catch stim sliders. Something something teach a man how to fish feed him for life.

I hope mwiv is mwii with cod4 movement and strafe speeds, no slide, reload cancel with a staged reload that only resumes when you press reload again, no dive, no stims, no high alert, specialist, pro perks, combat rolls while proning, leaning, destructible walls and floors, no doors, climbing, wearable skinnable gear and military gear.

So basically consolefags are fucking retards with no impulse control. They'll gladly pay a thousand dollars in microtransactions but they won't save up for a computer several times stronger than their block of shit.
>Yet some here still believe steam charts to have any significance when it comes to similar console games like CoD.
All of the PC players play FiveM which is on separate servers from GTAO and has double the numbers of every other platform combined, hence why all twitch viewership is FiveM related and why Rockstar bought out FiveM. And unless ATVI start showing the numbers, which they won't Steam charts will still be the most reliable metric by far even if they encompass a fragment of PC playerbase - you can always extrapolate the numbers and not be a retard doing it.

Good news for MW4. Joseph Cecot ain't the Lead MP Designer for it, he's only a Co-Design Director so he isn't directly involved in its design process.
Instead the lead for MP is Geoffrey Smith who worked on nu-MWs as a designer but he was also a part of old IW team and was responsible for design/scripting for classic MWs as well as their remasters.

CoD's been bleeding players for a long time but the numbers for this years' CoD are pitiful to say the least. What MWII started, flops 7 spectacularly continued and tied it up with a neat bow. This game can't even break prior games' numbers with its free weekend. Fucking hell they should've stuck with blops 6 instead this year.

nta, but in that case it should have considerably more players, especially after 3arc fixed and removed iw's decisions, gave people what they wanted, added omnimovement and so on. It makes no sense it'd track worse than mws even mwii when peopel had 'free' access to a great game.

Based stat enjoyer. I didn't like lots of changes made with MW2022 and MWIII only got a few things right and wrote a few wrongs, but good Lord treyshart couldn't make a solid CoD to save their lives.

I guess you might be right in a sense. but there's a good argument to be made tho that there should be a trickle down effect and a good game would drive sales on other platforms due to well being good. also I was led to believe people buying game pass are playing on xbox and as OP shows (old data I know) it's a smaller group of players compared to other ones and I don't believe many gamepass owners play on pc.

I don't take part in tribalistic shit flinging but a blind man can see that what was done with Black Ops didn't hit the mark. Doesn't matter how you cut it. The outflow of players is all too visible.
>inb4 muh gamepass subs
If we had numbers for particular games on GP then it'd be an argument. As it stands it's a nothing burger of a claim which means fuck all really. We only know they lost about $300 mil due to CoD being on GP and that's as hard a number as it gets.

Expedition 33 was on game pass and it hit a million players concurrent on steam. Gamepass is a nothingburger and three months of gamepass already costs more than just buying the game youre going to be playing for a year. No one is one gamepass

I didn't watch the video but the homogenization for BO7 is way worse than the other games mainly because zombies have fully swept its way through the campaign in the worst way possible and the campaign itself is designed through Warzone mechanics
the multiplayer despite canceling carry forward had a bigger identity crisis at launch than BO6 because of zombies operators being playable in multiplayer
Samurai with aids, nazi german, fuck ass weaver in a 2035 game?
BO6 day one only had Brutus that didn't fully fit. Klaus looks very wacky but Klaus is at least from the era the game is set in.

Interesting cope, but I'll bite. By that logic every CoD has been bumped by each consecutive entry because of CODHQ. So you had people playing MWII/MWII/Cold War/Warzone etc. all at the same time, upping the numbers. True WZ would've bumped the stats for MWII and MWIII but subsequent CoDs were further boosted by MWs and WZ. In that case no CoD in recent years had any actual stats for MP because they were all in the same pot.
That is up until detaching MWII/MWIII from CODHQ - July 25th 2025. Before that all Black Ops titles have been boosted if we apply your argument. Then if you look at the chart >>2353436 around that time there's been another drop that covers BO6, BO7, Warzone, Zombies. Even Blops 6 being an ok game couldn't stand on its own, retaining players. Not to mention flops7 fiasco. Now, with that in mind why would you say Blops titles are more popular and/or better than MWs? By what metric? Honest question.
>inb4 hurr durr those are just steam numbers, people play on bnet and consoles
Yeah, but unless we have that data this will always be an asspull of an argument. Plus as chart anon mentioned - extrapolating steam charts numbers isn't far fetched. Data w/ no. = reasonable information, no data = nothing but conjecture.

Comparing BO7 to 6 is honestly insulting because BO6 made me angry that the campaign is short and i was having fun with it but BO7 made me beg for it to be over and i was so relifed when i saw the credits screen and got a shitty ending that i don't even remember only for the game to put me in a slopy zombies mode like it's nazi zombies in WAW except this one is the gayest thing i could think of a warzone map and the stupidest ai anyone could program then i jumped in multiplayer and christ that shit is even more unbearable
bo7 not selling or keeping up players retention isn't a coincidence that game genuinely sucks ass and anon is right treyarch should've stuck with BO6

bo6 had attention to guns one of the few treyarch games where they gave a damn and put interesting things here and there

Their art director plays it safe they never have an artstyle that stands out. You could attribute saturation to Treyarch and brown and bloom to IW but what SHG is known for? They are always an awkward middle child studio.
>>
>>
>>2355779
>Their art director plays it safe
I was going to post art direction doesn't have a clue about what they want their games to be so they end up very off putting. Obviously there's a lot of abysmal stuff in what IW/3arc/SHG make but SHG takes the cake when it comes to being all over the place. Cell shading, weird "hip" bundles, strange collabs. One can't help but wonder who's the target audience for that aside from those devoid of all taste who'll buy a golden coated shit if it was shiny enough. But to the point, SHG are nice when it comes to supporting gameplay side of things (balance, adding guns etc.) but art department is ranges from neither here nor there to "what are you even doing".
>>
>>2355921
I wasn't even thinking about the skins just how their games look in general they never feel strongly about anything. WaW was gritty, WW2 is just.. there. A game like Vanguard never had a chance to shine properly the premise is retarded from the get go so why not embrace that and actually double down on the alternative reality WW2 with factions that don't make sense like Japan teaming up with America? No, instead it's My Team vs Your Team. And a diverse group that won't say they are gay outside of a bio that no one but /codg/ reads just to make transguard shit posts

It's sad that extinction 2 was supposed to be in Infinite Warfare but got cut for more Zombies.
Speaking of Zombies but I can't be the only person who genuinely hates playing Zombies these days right? It seems like they're designed for youtubers who do the 2-3 hour long easter eggs and every map has some shitty gimmick like the car and fuck huge map in ashes of the damned, the annoying as fuck robot in astra malorum or the retarded time jumping in paradox junction that forcibly does it for ALL players.
The 3 tiers of pack a punch and armor and weapon rarities are also gay as shit

I hate corpo bullshit they spew for marketing so much. If they really need to have a CoD just make it into some mini-series. Besides we already have games that do the narrative better than any CoD movie could.

>I don't remember BO4 being such a bust, even without a campaign
BO4 veered away from the CoD "formula" (and I use this term very broadly) into a hero shooter and despite blackout being fairly good it just wasn't enough to take this franchise in a different direction. To make it clear tho, I'm all for trying out different ideas and each studio/game having its own identity.
>Why do some people claim MW19 saved COD from the abyss as if it was as bad as it is now?
When MW19 launched, it had a very clear direction for gameplay, gun play, designs, post launch content etc. Now, I'm not saying all of it was good, but it was visible they knew where they wanted to take the MW series reboot. To add to it, the game was in stark contrast to BO4 which probably contributed, to some extent, to its success. Much like moving away from paid map packs or guns which were thrown into battle passes and seasonal content. A good move because everybody had access to everything.
MW19 was a big enough of a hit that ever since powers that be at ATVI have been chasing that success even though every dev team should have their style and freedom in how they execute concepts.
>>
>>2358834
BO4 wasn't as bad as BO7 but the morale and popularity was very low due to zombies being a clusterfuck of two ongoing stories, multiplayer not knowing if it should be CoD, Overwatch or Halo, the whole game looking like a BO3 reskin and the lack of multiplayer. Even the paid DLC was done very poorly.
No matter how good a futuristic game is, it'll never be as popular as a generic modern warfare game. That's a simple fact and the soon zombies fags who advocate for futuristic games realize this, the better.
