do we still need a cod game every year? I was done spending 60$ on a game that's similar to the previous one, they barely change the game engine many of the new 'features' are either minor changes or are poorly received.
It's almost becoming a yearly franchise like Madden, NBA, FIFA etc. where so much content is just straight up re-used or re-skinned for the new release. Some new maps, maybe a new game mode, some new weapons, but mostly the same as before. It think it'll take a proper flop before COD takes 4-5 years off and really change it up upon returning.
"Do we still need" ? Probably not, but it doesn't matter what we need. If people buy it and it makes them money, that's all that matters to the company.
Honestly Modern Warfare was the one time I didn’t enjoy the multiplayer which is usually what leaves the first impression of the game for me. The introduction of hundreds of attachments seems like a cool idea but I don’t find the maps enjoyable enough to grind for all of them, for every single weapon. I think a bit of originality and, if they include it, a great zombies can carry the series, just like BO3
