One of the most famous CoD players thinks the series is in the worst state now

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is facing significant challenges, while its competitor, Marvel Rivals, thrives. Leading YouTubers and competitive players are expressing serious concerns about a dramatic decline in player engagement. Some content creators have even abandoned the Activision title, highlighting widespread dissatisfaction.

Call of Duty legend, OpTic Scump, claims the franchise is in its worst state ever, primarily blaming the premature release of the ranked mode. The ineffective anti-cheat system has resulted in rampant cheating, severely impacting gameplay.

Streamer FaZe Swagg dramatically switched from Call of Duty to Marvel Rivals during a live broadcast, citing persistent connectivity problems and an overwhelming number of hackers. He even incorporated a live counter tracking hacker encounters on his stream.

Adding to the woes is the significant nerfing of the zombies mode, hindering the acquisition of desirable camouflage skins, coupled with an excessive number of cosmetic items. The criticism centers on the abundance of monetization options overshadowing meaningful gameplay enhancements. Considering the franchise's previously massive budgets, the current state is both predictable and alarming. Player patience is finite, and the situation appears to be approaching a critical juncture.
