#CALL OF DUTY MEMES SERIAL#
Critical Dissonance: The franchise is a serial victim of this.Hell, even the actual playerbase spends a good quarter of their online playtime claiming either the game they're currently playing or every one that's since come after it are terrible. However, given the way most people treat the games, you'd wonder where on earth these millions of Call of Duty players are coming from. The 2019 Modern Warfare reboot as well as Warzone and Black Ops: Cold War have been generally enjoyed by those who are able to play it, but the disproportionately large (and steadily-growing) storage requirements as well as mandatory online connection even for single player mode turned quite a lot of potential players off.Ghosts is generally considered to be a sub-par Call of Duty sequel due to its weak original setting story and characters, over-reliance on top of the line new firearms as the second attempt to futurize the franchise, stupid hype ("Fish AI" that wasn't as unique as advertised and didn't work anyway, and an "improved graphics engine" that was only a noticeable improvement in the system requirements), and a Cliché Storm plot with no likeable characters on either side that ends in a blatant Sequel Hook.

3 does likewise, largely for pointless motion sensor gimmicks, rather dull graphics, being the first numbered game in the series to avoid PC, and abandoning the "major historic battles" motif in favour of being set in a series of seemingly random French towns that even the French have probably never heard of.World at War attracts a lot of flak for various reasons (unfair respawns in single player, Darker and Edgier, going back to World War II, being by Treyarch, unbalanced Veteran mode etc).Modern Warfare has its own set of this - see its page.What complicates the matter is that when Call of Duty did go back to its roots with WW2, the result was seen as one of the worst entries of the series in that generation, while Infinite Warfare would start to become Vindicated by History. The whole idea of COD going sci-fi divided the fanbase when the transition began in Black Ops 2, and the arguments began growing more immensely as every game between Advanced Warfare and Infinite Warfare kept going further and further into hard sci-fi, to varying degrees of critical success and eventually cumulating in the massive backlash Infinite Warfare received when it was announced.
