Sales of Call of Duty are disappointing.
Analysts are calling this trend “a cause for concern” for Activision-Blizzard as the Call of Duty franchise is responsible of 45% of Activision's earnings.
Players and reviewers have become increasingly complacent regarding the latest Call of Duty releases, going so far as to call Treyarch and Infinity Ward, lazy. Shorter single player campaigns and the same old game engine being the most common complaints.
David Vondehaar recently had to defend the use of an ancient (in gaming years) gaming engine. “Anybody who comes at the engine needs to remember it's the 60 frames they love in the first place," he asserted. "And we can make it beautiful - that's through years and years of working with the engine, improving upon it and improving the pipeline and improving our approach, our lighting rendering.”
"People like to talk about the engine, but the truth of the matter is that this isn't like something that was invented six years ago. At this point that engine doesn't resemble anything like any engine - we've ripped out the UI system, the rendering and the lighting are all new, the core gameplay systems are all new.”

Project-x this is because its a good game but a lot of people dont want to spend there own money so you are asking for it for Christmas
The **** did I just read? They don't want to spend money on it, but they ask for it for christmas. Did your brain go from Point A to Point D, and skip B and C?

After playing BO2 for a couple of weeks then going back to Halo 4 I noticed 2 things.
1. Halo 4 has amazing graphics compared to BO2.
2. Halo 4 seeemed real choppy running at 30 fps compared to BO2 running at 60fps.
Idk if I have a messed up disk or something but yea.

Rampages Should be happy with what they got.
Maybe IW has something up its sleeve next year. Who knows.
I don't think the series will pick back up, unless they do something crazy. imo.
