The Call of Duty series is something I actually once loved. A lot. Call of Duty 2 was a huge deal at the start of that console gen, Call of Duty 4 revolutionized multiplayer gaming and Black Ops 2 is a game that I played for hours and hours on end, I couldn't get enough of it. Sure, the series has had some blunders here and there around that time, but despite being annual, the series was able to stay consistently decent.

Those days are gone though. Activision, the mother of all greedy companies in gaming, is now determined to f*ck this franchise into the ground. Ghosts was mediocre, Advanced Warfare was only okay, and Black Ops 3 was a pile of sh*t and that was the last straw for me. Now we have the almighty Infinite Warfare, with a name that bland we know the cash cow has gone dry. This game looks to be as generic as they come, but it all gets worse.

You want Modern Warfare remastered? Sorry, you have to buy the $80 version of Infinite Warfare to get it. Oh and you won't get all of the content that was in the original game either. You want the Terminal map that everyone loved in Modern warfare 2? Well, you need to PREORDER Infinite Warfare! The game's setting also does not look appealing at all. We are going to other planets now? Um, yay? Ooooh, we can fly in space ships and fight other ships! In what will most likely be a very linear and pointless sequence that looks awesome in the trailers, but is actually a gimmick in the game. And despite all of the extreme backlash and having the 2nd most disliked video of all time on its belt, Activision STILL will not back down from its horrid bullshit. We still won;t get MW remastered on its own and we still have to pre-order to get Terminal. The new zombies mode also looks like utter trash, as it looks like it is just tacked on, out of place garbage. Will we only get one map this time just like Black Ops 3? Oh please let it be so Activision, I want you to take all of my money.

Infinite Warfare is also a rare species this holiday season. It will be the only major FPS that will have a season pass I believe. That is kinda nuts. Its two main competition, Titanfall 2 and Battlefield 1, are doing away with season passes and instead going the Overwatch route of free updates with micro-transactions most likely. Infinite Warfare will, if Black Ops 3 is any indication, have micro-transactions, a $50 season pass AND still no dedicated servers, once again trailing FAR behind all of its competition. The campaign will also probably be incoherent nonsense. The greed deployed by Activision is absolutely insane. Come on Activision, give us even less for our money, we all love it! This game will also have content locked behind its season pass despite being finished, that is obvious. This series is the epitome of EVERYTHING that is wrong in gaming now.

Why do people still buy this shit? It is absolutely clear that Activision doesn't care. They just view you as a walking wallet and the way they are treating gamers and fans of this franchise is horrid. I hope, for the sake of gaming, that this game will fail, hard. I want to see it absolutely flop in sales numbers, I want it to mark the end of this already dead franchise. It is worthless now and Activision is using it as a tool to fuck us over and I for one am sick of it.

Knowing the odds though it will still sell millions. Somehow people are not sick of the same old shit every single year. There are a lot of people that just do not care.It will still be a huge success and we will see Advanced Warfare 2 next year and whatever shit Treyarch is making. The cycle will continue, every single year. And if that happens, my hope in gaming will dwindle even further. I want this franchise to die.

Rambling over. Wanted to get that off my chest.
