It’s been like that since MW 2019. BO7, however, is just BO6 Pt. 2 (according to Fooly).
Is Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 just another ‘lazy’ addition to the franchise?

COD suffered two deaths. The first was when it just became boring and familiar, which differs for everyone, but for me it was after MW3. Same shit every year.
The second was when it tried to chase the Fortnite/hero shooter trend, and lost its identity entirely. There is no theme anymore, it’s just a bunch of “operators” (celebrities and shit) fighting each other without any context on random maps. Nicki Minaj being a playable character pretty much sums up what the franchise has become. A completely unserious pile of slop.

Four deaths.
The first was when the hopped on the regenerating health bandwagon.
Then CoD wasn’t balanced for lean.

I'm old. vCOD, UO, and CoD2 were my shit. Cod4 was the transition, but still good. Blackops lost the theme and killed any competitive scene opportunities for the game, and as you said, it's been Ctrl+c/Ctrl+v ever since, yet also worse every time.

It’s crazy to me that COD is still doing the exact same thing they’ve been doing since I stopped enjoying them ten years ago.

It seems lazy to take this long to call them lazy. I think I dropped off around MW3 maybe? Just remember feeling like too much of a rehash back then.

BLOPS 2 had good gameplay, iirc. I kept on that game for a few years instead of getting any of the later installments.

It got lazy around Black Ops 1.
