Kane99 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Call of Duty has been a yearly released game since COD 4 I believe. And ever since the franchise continues to grow. You can argue it's lost some popularity, but it seems with each new release more people jump into it. There were times where I absolutely hated Call of Duty, but now, I can't get enough of Modern Warfare and am looking forward to Black Ops Cold War. It feels like things are going back to the way it used to be, and it's kind of exciting. Anyway, do you think COD will ever end? Right now, there are three studios working on COD, Treyarch, and Infinity Ward work on their own games, while Ravensoft in the past did their own games (Advanced Warfare) and have been helping Infinity Ward and Treyarch to make their games lately.

Shagger Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 (edited) This franchise has lost all spirit and only sells through it's name. There was a time COD was revolutionary, but then they added jetpacks to answer to Titanfall, made Black Ops 4 a multiplayer only title with BR because of the success of PUBG and Fortnight and added aggressive microtransactions because it's Activation and in their mind that was becoming acceptable. To summarize, Call of Duty, what was once the gold standard and trend setter in multiplayer and FPS gameplay is now a trend follower. A cash cow that has no value beyond its own name, and even that name has limited credibility now. So in answer to the question, we can only hope it dies. Call of Duty itself can't even live up to Call of Duty any more. Edited September 13, 2020 by Shagger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Simply put, there is too much money involved for Call of Duty to die anytime soon. AndreiMirfi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreiMirfi Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Not really. They seem to still have success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexander. Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Not anytime soon. It's supply and demand. As-long as people are willing to pay money, the publishers will continue developing more enhanced and modern versions of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Now that they have recently moved to the mobile and the tablets. I don't see they ending in next 5 years. Unless ofcourse some CEO scandal happens and the thing about the game may end up in wrong ditch. I guess in that case they may get in trouble but the closure is less likely now.

Patrik Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Considering that it's too popular, brings many sales and still doing well, i don't think it's gonna end any sooner, i mean that's a lot of money to generate, why would they make the faucet stop pouring money :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 It's Activision's top selling franchise - there's no way Call Of Duty will end any time soon because a good chunk of their yearly revenue comes from COD. At this point, I'm more inclined to think that they'd give up WOW before letting the COD franchise die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syntax Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Never, it's like asking if Battlefield will go away or even World of Warcraft. Kind of like the staple games for their specific genre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatman Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 With how much it's selling for a while now, I'm not sure it's going to be dying anytime soon because the name alone sells the franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game has just been gaining momentum now. I don't see any reason to why Activision would be in a hurry to shut launching further episodes. Rockstar's GTA and Activision's COD will keep on launching newer versions. 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killamch89 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 I doubt it - even if Activision goes under, COD IP will be worth billions so whoever gets it is guaranteed a goldmine of a franchise. I agree with @Shagger that COD as we know it is dead but it's way too popular to fail no matter how poor the game is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
