I was thinking the same thing. I've never played a single one or even seen gameplay footage of them. Who is playing these games? I assumed they were just generic shooters.
Sure, but they're the generic shooter. And it had a big resurgence during COVID with everyone and their mothers playing Warzone. I hadn't touched CoD since MW3 in like 2012 and I put so many hours into the 2019 Modern Warfare game with Warzone.
I haven’t touched CoD since the Medal of Honor team made Call of Duty.
By virtue of them selling the best, they ARE generic shooters. It's just that the definition moves with them.
I mean they are, but they also kinda defined what a generic shooter is today, I haven’t picked one up in ages because I hate multiplayer these days, had a lot of fun playing them up until Black Ops. Kinda got stale for me after that
