Ghosts is generally considered to be a sub-par Call of Duty sequel due to its weak original setting story and characters, over-reliance on top of the line new firearms as the second attempt to futurize the franchise, stupid hype ("Fish AI" that wasn't as unique as advertised and didn't work anyway, and an "improved graphics engine" that was only a noticeable improvement in the system requirements), and a Cliché Storm plot with no likeable characters on either side that ends in a blatant Sequel Hook.3 does likewise, largely for pointless motion sensor gimmicks, rather dull graphics, being the first numbered game in the series to avoid PC, and abandoning the "major historic battles" motif in favour of being set in a series of seemingly random French towns that even the French have probably never heard of.World at War attracts a lot of flak for various reasons (unfair respawns in single player, Darker and Edgier, going back to World War II, being by Treyarch, unbalanced Veteran mode etc).Modern Warfare has its own set of this - see its page.What complicates the matter is that when Call of Duty did go back to its roots with WW2, the result was seen as one of the worst entries of the series in that generation, while Infinite Warfare would start to become Vindicated by History. The whole idea of COD going sci-fi divided the fanbase when the transition began in Black Ops 2, and the arguments began growing more immensely as every game between Advanced Warfare and Infinite Warfare kept going further and further into hard sci-fi, to varying degrees of critical success and eventually cumulating in the massive backlash Infinite Warfare received when it was announced.Which developer is most consistently best? Infinity Ward? Treyarch? Sledgehammer? Ask three COD fans and they'll give you six different opinions on the matter.Here are 20 hilarious memes that are straight from the battlefield. It is only appropriate that Call of Duty ’s tight-knit, every-man-for-himself subculture would create memes that describe the weird, the elite, the desperate, the noobs, and everything in between. It is our shared annoyance with the aforementioned points that gives birth to memes. Headshots don’t always kill an opponent, but a knife often takes them out in a single swoop. For instance, the respawn system often places players in the enemy’s line of sight. In addition to disappointing opponents and teammates, there are also issues with the game itself that are worth making fun of. You either become experienced enough to overcome them, or you become one of them. All players encounter campers, snipers, and random grenades at one time or another. Ironically, it is also where repetition and predictability rear their ugly heads. That’s where variables, unique personalities, and randomness thrive. What makes Call of Duty a household name isn’t its campaign mode, but its multiplayer. Though each new game is familiar territory, thanks to the success of its online multiplayer, players have yet to see it all. Yes, the persistent shooter has spawned its own subculture of noobs, fanboys, badasses, and unchecked 12-year-olds. Millions of gamers have experienced the magic of bringing death to their enemies, achieving prestige, and verbally assaulting anyone brave enough to leave them unmuted. Hands down the Call of Duty franchise is one of the most popular of all time.
