Call of Duty isn’t holding the same grip on the gaming world this year, and the numbers don’t lie—fewer people are playing than ever before. In today’s video, I break down exactly why the CoD player base is shrinking, how franchise fatigue finally caught up to Activision, and why major design decisions across Warzone and the Modern Warfare reboots have pushed longtime fans away.
I also give my honest opinion on what I think most players already feel deep down: the true peak of Call of Duty was the era of Modern Warfare 2 (2009) and the original Black Ops. Nothing since then—not even the Modern Warfare reboots—has captured the magic, identity, or excitement of that golden age.
Whether you're a nostalgic fan, a current player, or someone who walked away from the series entirely, this video breaks down the state of the franchise with real insight, real history, and real examples of why momentum is dropping.
