"They lost a fair amount of their fanbase to other games for not listening to our opinions and how we feel about the direction of the game"

This is the issue with having yearly games made by three studios. There's no reaction time.

Also I feel like the futuristic setting is just a scapegoat for the unpopularity of the game, given that the campaign trailer is actually the best received of all the trailers. There just nothing about the multiplayer that draws people in. Teamwork is basically at an all time 0 in Call of Duty and a lot of the new features like weapon variants are just gimmicky. Tactical Nuke as a weapon perk? Why does that even make sense? Crafting a new gun in the middle of gameplay? Is there any functional reason why they can't do it in the menu instead?
