THE END OF CALL OF DUTY?

The question above is being asked all around the world. In my opinion, and in the opinion of most Call of Duty players, this videogame series has come to an end, due to the fact that the new Call Of Duty trailer, COD: Infinite Warfare, is now officially the third most disliked video ever on YouTube, with more than 2 million dislikes, only behind the songs Friday, by Rebecca Black, and, of course, Baby, by Justin Bieber.


This massive quantity of dislikes shows the disappointment we as a whole community have. Nobody listened to us when the whole community said that Call Of Duty: Ghosts was one of the worst Call Of Duty titles ever made, if not the worse. In spite of making a sequel of the famous Modern Warfare series, Sledgehammer Games chose to take risks and releasing the most futuristic Call Of Duty title, entitled Call Of Duty: Advanced Warfare. I have liked this videogame, because me and my friends are pretty good at it, and I have been publicly recognised as one of the best Advanced Warfare players in Spain, with some gameplays with or without reverse boosting. Moreover, this game was perfect for competitive gamemodes like Search and Destroy or Hardpoint. I loved playing competitive on this game, and me, along with three more friends, were during three weeks inside the Top 10 spanish competitive teams. Moreover, during this Call Of Duty, I joined TOP Clan, which is the best pubstomping clan in the world, and I have lasted there until October, when I left the clan because of its clausure.


The thing that made Advanced Warfare being hated by the community was the Skillbased Matchmaking. This meant that, in public matches, which people do not play too seriously and play just for fun, you were supposed to play against people who are as good as you. This worked in every single game mode, except for Free-for-All. Black Ops III, however, is a pretty good Call Of Duty. Moreover, it is the Call Of Duty title in which there are more challenges to unlock. I don't play it anymore, because I have already got every single gold gun in the game, I have got the Dark Matter Camo, which is the hardest challenge in the game to achieve, and I have reached Master Prestige. Therefore, I don't play anymore. Although being futuristic, it has been a COD which everyone likes, and everyone plays. However, everyone will agree with me in the fact that we do not want an innovative Call Of Duty. We want a COD title which maintains the classic essence. No jetpacks, no exo-suites, no slides... Nobody wants these movements. Everyone wants a COD with an ACR, or a P90, or a AK47... classical weapons which we, old-school players, have enjoyed for ages.

It is undoubtedly clear that we want an old Call Of Duty title. Infinity Ward is remastering COD4 for next gen, and it looks awesome. However, instead of making an additional COD title this year, I think they should release an old-school style COD as the main game, not only as a extra downloadable content. At the moment, we can see that COD: Iw trailer is the most hated videogame trailer ever, whereas Battlefield 1's trailer has been the most liked videogame trailer in the history of humanity. Nevertheless, we have not played this game yet. Will this be the true end of Call Of Duty, and the victory of Battlefield over the COD series? We'll have to wait until we have both games on our hands to make our personal decision. And you? Which game do you stay with?
