So should COD die? Did anyone play COD kangaroo's or AW as it's also know? Has Sledgehammer lost it? [spoiler]Like they ever had it MW3 was tripe.[/spoiler]
COD MP died for some after COD 4, MW2 or Black Ops 2 depending on opinions.
COD had its roll to play in forming the FPS genre but does it still have one now?

I don't really see where it can go. Activision reminds me of that Sparrow with the RT boost that you get from VoG (innumerable apologies for bringing Destiny into this, just bare with the analogy) Activision gets on to a franchise, pushes both triggers down to aggressively reap as much cash as they can, as quick as they can, for as long as they can, and if the sparrow starts to falter, keep pushing, when it starts flaming and parts are falling off ('parts' being used to represent players leaving the franchise as it burns) keep pushing, until it finally explodes into an undignified mess. But hey, we sure did cover a lot of ground didn't we? IMO, CoD needs to go backwards to go forwards. The best game I ever had was a Demolition on Afghan, back in MW2, where this other badass 4-man team stormed in and took out one objective within the first ten seconds, so me and my three mates aggressively defended the other objective for what felt like the longest 5 minutes ever, there was teamwork and strategy and near-misses and intense moments but we pushed through to win... Now what do we get? A twitch-shooter with absolutely 0 semblance of strategy or thought? Laced with RNG and pay-to-win bullshit? Wtf happened? So yes, now I think that CoD needs to just die with whatever dignity it can preserve
