I thought Call of Duty was dying?

it certainly is declining, but its not dying. i can see this years CoD be bigger than the last two. specially since it will most likely be Black Ops 3

Actually the whole point of my OP was to show it is really not in much of a decline(10% tops from peak 4 years ago). Stagnated? Yes. But its hard to hate a game for stagnated between 25-30 million each year.

Yeah black ops 3 will bring the sales back up again. Actually what time of the year do they usually announce the new cod?  

 

My thoughts on the series 

COD4, MW2, WAW and Black Ops was the COD golden age. MW3, black ops 2 and Ghosts left a sour taste in many fans mouths.  Yes MW3 sold a shit ton like BO2 and were loved by many but I think they turned many of the long time fans away like me who'd played cod since the ps2 days. 

 

My theory is that millions of fans have quit the series but the new generation of young gamers since are taking our place. I've a few friends who played MW3 and loved it.  But it was their first cod. If black ops 2 or MW3 was my first cod id love the series still.  

 

They basically fucked the long time hardcore fans over and are aiming at the casuals now. The best we can hope for is a remake of cod4 and/or mw 2 or black ops 2 to return to its black ops 1 roots.
