Call of Duty Chart Shows the Cycle of How Fans React to Each Game
Call of Duty is one of the most consistently popular franchises in the industry. Other than sports games, not many AAA franchises see a new release every year, except for Call of Duty. Activision had recently shifted most of its studios to the Call of Duty series, possibly to help the leading developer for that year.

Activision had announced a whole list of changes for Season 2 of Call of Duty: Vanguard and hopefully fans’ needs will be satisfied in this update. The perception of a game’s quality can drastically shift over the years and a new post shows how Call of Duty is the perfect example of this.

Regardless, a lot of the discussion in comments section is centered around 2019’s Modern Warfare, and many users feel like it only received hate from a vocal minority.
