User blog comment:Conqueror of all Zombies/Activision and Infinity Ward Hit by Layoffs/@comment-402843-20170214201304/@comment-136.63.112.238-20170220074715

I know this may not have much to do with this blog or comment, but I saw someone mention Activision's statement about this year's CoD going back to the series's roots (which is a huge implication to "boots on the ground"), and my question to anyone excited about this is, how is this going to fix CoD? There are far bigger issues with this series other than it's setting. The biggest issues with CoD that I can list from the top of my head are; lag, an outdated game engine, the annual release schedule, Supply Drops, lackluster campaigns, lack of innovations, and an extremely low skill gap. These are just seven big issues with this series, and I'm sure there are more. But my point is this, a past or present theatre of war alone is not going to solve this series's issues, because until the issues I laid out (or any other issue for that matter) are fixed, a boots on the ground CoD set in the past or present will eventually be viewed in the same manner as a futuristic CoD with enhanced movements.
