The Real Reason CoD Lost Popularity
I think the biggest reason why Call of Duty lost its popularity is NOT ONLY just because it's the same thing over and over again, but (like we discussed in class) there are other games that are thought of as amazing and they are still the same thing over and over again. The real reason in my opinion why Call of Duty lost its popularity is because its become more of a killstreak based game. Who can get the most amount of kills in one game? However, this has created a huge problem. While most FPS games will never be able to mimic real life warfare, Call of Duty failed by not trying to pursue a more realistic game. In fact their earlier games were much like this. Modern Warfare, World at War, and Modern Warfare 2, we're probably they're closest thing to real like warfare. Reason being, some of the maps were actually big. You could roam around in them longer before getting torn up. In the new Call of Duties however they've created maps that are much more close quarter type combat. I'll admit I used to play the new CoD's when they had this kind of map set-up however, once Modern Warfare 3 came out it had the same exact "type" of graphics from the second one just with different guns and much closer maps. For Call of Duty to ever go big again, they need to realize that we want to feel like were actually they're fighting, not running around small maps like idiots without checking our blind spots. No one in real war runs around a corner at lighting speed expecting there to be nobody there. Call of Duty needs to implement the game types that they have created along the way, research more guns and basically give us World at War back with better graphics with EVEN BIGGER MAPS. Give us the real thing. Give us maps that we can hide out in and snipe each other. Give us real life physics like leading our targets if they're moving or aim above them if our target is far away. This would bring a difficulty to the game that is similar to battlefield however, I would be awesome to see a game from Call of Duty like this. If they want to save they're company, they need to make a game that people will start talking about. I mean really start talking about, I want my friends coming up to me and saying "yo you have to buy the next Call of Duty." I've always been a huge fan, but I refuse to play because I just can't get back into it for these reasons.
