it got a big boost in players temporarily after they released functioning multiplayer, and then everyone stopped playing it again because it gets really boring once you understand how to survive longterm

A lot of violent games unfortunately do that. Most notably, Mortal Kombat 11.

It’s common to use it as a reference, I thought the thing with brutal doom was he put them straight into the game with only minimal alternation

Oh, this thing. Yeah it's supposedly not just Benito Mussolini, but a combination of him and his mistress Clara Petacci. I think it's all bollocks since too many things don't align with the sprite and any photo I've seen of the execution, in particular the lighting and folds in the clothes.

Not to mention that according to Adrian Carmack, it's merely a GI Joe that Kevin Cloud was scanning with the camera.

it's similar to fortnite, you'd think that was unpopular based on what you hear in older gaming cliques but that just doesn't reflect reality

Lol even on its off years COD has routinely been the number one selling game with very few interruptions. Even the much-maligned Vanguard was number one last year. Number two? COD Black Ops.

CoD multiplayer is pretty great IMO. In an era of increasingly competitive and metagame-oriented online gaming, CoD remains one of the last bastions of the kind of chaotic low-stakes hijinks that I loved from the Quake era through the early TF2 era. Ever since Overwatch and the battle royale craze, multiplayer games have become way more stressful and less enjoyable to me.

When I think of CoD I'm not thinking about Warzone. The mainline CoD games are still doing gangbusters and those have nothing to do with BR.

I'd imagine it's a lot like Madden and FIFA and other mainstream darlings where its fanbase has very little crossover with the sort of people who post on videogame forums like this one. It's a big world out there!

The last CoD I played was the original MW2 back in 2009/2010. Before that I was getting my fix of Army Soldier Mans videogames from Battlefield 2, which is so long ago at this point it might as well be a sepia-toned silent movie.

If MW2 2022 doesn't have one man army, danger close and one hit kill grenade launchers then what's the point of it all! MW2 really was the zenith of the entire series as far as i'm concerned. Lots of weapon diversity and lots of 'overpowered' options to pick from and maps with sensible angles and vaguely decent spawns.

Infinite Warfare is worth playing, looks great and it’s an amazing Battlestar Gallactica FPS (in everything but name)

World at War and BLOPS were the last CoDs I played a ton of and I considered getting into Warzone but Apex is the best BR by such a margin I never ended up playing it. It's kinda weird Blackout didn't blow up anywhere near as big as Warzone when it looked so much better. The one thing I miss from CoD multiplayer is hardcore servers I liked the low time-to-kill and having to ADS.

I wish there was one more difficulty between Cero and the one-hit you're dead difficulty. I've played Dusk five times through and I'd do a sixth on such a difficulty.

You have to unload like two mags into a person to even knock them in COD BR, it's loving ridiculous. But that's only if you have the requisite 1 TB of storage to hold the entire drat game. (Yes I know I'm exaggerating)

PUBG has fun playable jank, outside of the stupid rate of fire their DMRs are capable of. Dropping bricks of C4 from a glider onto clusters of squads and getting multi kills is some Grade A+ good poo poo.

The way I understand it is Warzone is it's own separate thing, single player and standard multiplayer are combined downloads.
