This is just one more example of the problems with the call of duty games nowadays. Each game that is released in the call of duty franchise is basically just a reskin of the last game, it's like they just got the previous game, gave a new campaign and zombies, update the graphics only slightly, and then slap a new title on it. They have used the exact running animation, certain reload animations, and gun sounds for multiple games, and the gun sounds are always digitally made! It's like they can't be bothered to go out and record some real gun sounds, that's why their guns sound like pea shooters half the time! It seems like they don't care about making a good, well made, different than the last, game that's not just a lazily slapped together, ever so slightly graphically enhanced, version of the last game with a different campaign. This could be partially due to the fact that they are releasing a new game every year, or the fact that they care more about getting a new call of duty game out as fast as possible, rather than actually taking time to make a good game. They care more about the money than making a good game for the fans. It's like the transformers films, Michael bay has been told that he should stop using the same simple formula for every transformers films (which is what call of duty is doing) but to instead do something different for once, his response was basically that it doesn't matter how good it is, as long as people keep going and watching them, he'll keep making lazy films. Take the halo games for example, the teams behind them spend a good 3 years to make the best game they can, and when they where getting some negative backlash from halo 5, they listened to the fans and critics, fixed the problems, and assured the fans they would be getting what they want in halo 6, and what else did they do? They decided to spend even more time and recourses on halo infinite to make as great of a game they possibly can for the fans, not a money grab, and 4 years later halo infinite was announced and the fans are more exited than ever, everything they wanted, including getting the older art style back, they got. Call of duty is not just a lazy game, but it is also a literal graphical downgrade from black ops 3, and replaced the campaign with battle royale. Speaking of their new implementation on battle royale in their game, what has been happening lately with call of duty as well is unoriginal game concepts and ideas. They'll take whatever is popular, and blatantly rip it of and shove it in the game, as if they can't be bothered to make an original game. For example, when Halo 5 was very popular they decided to make infinite warfare, which blatantly stole some armor designs straight from halo, including stealing the design of the iconic pelican (which can even be seen in the infinite warfare trailer) and the frigate from the halo franchise as well. They also implemented a game mode that was basically the infection game mode. Later on when battlefield 1 came out, it was extremely popular, so awhile later call of duty came out with world war 2. And now obviously fortnite and pubg are super popuar, and what does call of duty do? They release battle royale in black ops 4. It is very clear what they are doing, and it's sad that the fans are buying into activisions money grabs they call "games". And when they tried making call of duty "futuristic" like halo, the fans didn't like it, and it wasn't until 3 futuristic exo jump mechanical soldier games later that they got WW2. If you compare. What I have found myself experiencing with call of duty lately is I'll watch some gameplay for the first time, or play the latest game for the first time, and I'll think," haven't I played this before?" Basically if you've played one call of duty game you've played them all. Yeah some 'look' different, but they play and feel the exact same, you'll never feel like your playing a different game, or getting a new, fresh experience from the latest call of duty. I would recommend to anyone thinking of buying call of duty black ops 4, to buy a different game, don't give in to their Money grabbing games, it'll only make them do it more. And chances are you'll play the game for about 2 months and you'll be done and already be bored of it. Make them change their ways. I'm sure if they stopped trying to make a new game every year, and all worked on one game and took a longer period of time, they could make a game that would blow every, bring something new to the table, a new game that feels fresh and not like a rehashing, and they would probably make more money, and if it's a better game it'll last longer and people would play for more than just a couple of months.
