I know, I know. More than likely, Ghosts will outperform every other game, including previous Call of Duty's, and remain #1 on the Activity Charts until the next one comes out. But, maybe, people are starting to see the flaws with game. Look at some of the recent gameplay videos on Youtube from Gamescom. Half of the ratings are dislikes. All the comments are hateful. Maybe the new gen will finally destroy CoD. Maybe people aren't going to buy a new console just so they can play the game they already have, many times over. I think the game will probably do commercially well, but I have a feeling it won't be number 1 on the Activity Charts for very long. Thoughts?
-
Technically it's already dying.
-
Like most gaming franchises, Call of Duty will be fumbled during the cross over from current gen to next gen. This is likely when and where the CoD franchise will begin to lose steam.
-
I have always favored BF over COD. But I do play cod with friends sometimes.
-
People on the internet always hate CoD. Two years ago, the hate on MW3 was intense-- more than what we're seeing with Ghosts now. And BF3 was totally going to kick CoD's ass. Nope. But it's said that this time when new consoles are released can be pretty shaky for established franchises, or give new IP's a better chance of making it big.
-
It will live on simply because its CoD, people buy it because there friends buy it, the cycle continues. It's basically becoming a tradition. Although I'd wish it would die, I just can't see it happening anytime soon.
-
No, it's going to have at [i]least[/i] 3-4 more iterations after Ghosts.
-
Zombies is the only reason why cod is still living
-
CoD might be a recyclable series with lots of problems but it's still an entertaining twitch shooter. If I want a good, tactical game with lots of action and fighting I'll put Battlefield in. But if I want to run around like a headless chicken with a shotgun and listen to squeaky rage then there is nothing better than Cawadoody. That being said, Ghosts looks like shit. I find it hilarious how they have the gall to call it next gen when you can roll some logs down a hill or blow up a gas station. Also Doge plz. Not forgetting the Fish AI that doesn't work and the usual unbalanced multiplayer ideas. Battlefield 4 doesn't just blow it out of the water without even trying it atomises it with a funny look.
-
I think one of the key aspects of this new console generation is that people will probably be able to see what else is out there when they are picking a console. Instead of their interest just being CoD, they might start branching out to other games to see what interests them. CoD will not completely die from one game, its not like if Ghosts is bad it will disappear like that. As an Empire, Call of Duty is in the onset of a slow decline. Eventually, when its weak enough, another franchise will come an usurp its place.

lolno Anyone who says yes are crossing their fingers.
-
I hope CoD dies but it's sadly not the case.
-
ghost looks like a fun game it could revive the series
-
Battlefront 3 and Battlefield 4 will roflstomp lolGhosts.
-
Why would anyone WANT Cod to die out? Its a decent game that millions of people play. Whats so bad about it?
-
Those dislikes come from the vocal minority. the majority of people who are probably playing cod aren't on message boards and stalking youtube videos.
-
While i hate CoD, it's obvious it's still going to be around for a while. I'm actually glad that it will be. More 5 year olds on CoD and less on Destiny.
-
I doubt it.
-
It depends if they actually try bringing CoD into the next-gen. If they come out with 64 player matches, good maps, and some changed gameplay it can continue the CoD trend. If they try selling us the same generic CoD multiplayer then I'm pretty sure it will begin to die down.
-
I want [u][b]all[/b][/u] cod to die.
-
You know i doubt ghosts will outsell GTA 5. I don't think ghosts will kill it but the next IW game will.
-
Battlefield 4 and GTA V will smash on Ghosts
-
The thing that will kill cod is cod. Yes look at the past of gaming. Platformers killed themselves off over time.
-
Impossible, a game's popularity is directly related to the amazingness of their Fish AI.
-
Where's the "CoD is already on the decline" option?
-
CoD's fan base is way too strong. It will simply never die. Plenty of the fans of CoD are fine with it being the same game over again and they're enough to keep the game running Activision big bucks.
-
Hopefully. That being said though, Treyarch's CoD's will still likely fair well. Since they are more accepted by the community than Infinity Ward's.
