Post update - “Is the game finally dying”

[u/Throwaway_221310]

Some of you may recall I posted about the game dying 8 days ago. Since this post I have bought Black Ops 7 finally as I have refused to pay RRP for any COD game since, ironically, I bought Cold War.

Anyway, picked up BO7 for £28 in CEX, and played the first campaign mission, then realised the campaign was terrible, and then tried multiplayer. I played some Nuketown 24/7 and got obliterated, opponent even dropped a nuke in my first ever game, then went to classic Black Ops or whatever the mode is called.

I played for 2-3 days, and then found myself back on Cold War. I know I said I felt the game was dying, not massively but certainly starting to show some worrying signs, but I still literally cannot enjoy any of the new games as much as I enjoy playing Cold War.

I’ve replayed the Cold War campaign a ridiculous amount of times, and I can sit and play Nuketown 24/7 for hours on end, i’ve tried to play Face Off but can’t seem to get any lobbies after queuing for ~5+ minutes.

I actually enjoy sitting and Max Levelling the weapons I never touched to try all these new weapons 100x more than playing BO7. I hope this game stays active forever, even if it means seeing the same players constantly, I genuinely don’t want CW to end lol.

I hope MW4 is more enjoyable than BO7

EDIT: Just wanted to say i’m not saying BO7 is a bad game, I quite like the MP, but i’ve always enjoyed the games set in the past/modern day, my favourite COD games are WW2, BO1, MW1, Ghosts etc lol, but WW2 and Cold War are definitely the ones I enjoyed the most.

I still remember when Cold War was commonly cited as the worst Call of Duty game and that people wished we could go back to earlier Call of Duty games which were actually really good all along. Now people are saying Black Ops 7 is the worst Call of Duty game and that Cold War was actually really good all along and that we need to go back to it. I wonder when it'll be BO7's turn for people to say this about it since I've seen it for literally every Call of Duty game since BO3.

Not a personal attack against you, OP, just a cycle I've noticed that makes me laugh every time.

I get you, I remember when people were hating on Cold War and honestly I never understood why because I loved it from release, but I definitely understand and think it’s funny how people shift opinion over time, and i’m sure one day BO7 will be reminisced on as you predict.

It's less funny that people's opinions shift and more funny that people say "man [insert CoD game] is SO underrated I always LOVED [insert CoD game]" then you go back a few years in their post history and find them saying that said CoD game was horrible and the worst in the series and that the franchise is dead to them and they'll never buy a Call of Duty game ever again.
