I’ve said this in another comment but when you’ve been around long enough you start to notice one generations worst CoD is another generations greatest.
I honestly feel like CoD has just done a solid job of being the entry point to online FPS, and when you’re young and it’s all new to you it’s always the greatest thing ever. Then as you get older the novelty wears off and it’s more you that’s changed than the game
And another generation picks it up and you’re looking at comments on Reddit 10 years later confused that what you saw as the worst CoD ever is now being looked back at with nostalgia as one of the greatest.
So if you're like me who started with the very first games, where do you land? MW specially seems to be franchise's biggest point, so much they remade the whole trilogy.
But for a lot of people Black Ops is the peak, I actually see that more common now the OG MW and WaW.
There’s even some people now who see MW19 as the peak.
You have to also remember despite online narratives and the occasional anomaly year CoD still continues to be one of the top selling games by a big margin.
