The healthy human game maker doesn't wake up thinking this is his franchises last day on earth but that can be a luxury not a curse. To know COD's close to the end is a kind of freedom...good time to take inventory.

In debt, inconsistent, out of their depths on a downward spiral but the consoles and pixels stained with a few years of warfare...they will remember us for this.

Because out of our vast array of game's we choose Call of duty for ourselves and we go forth like a badly written Infinity ward story, with our sensitivities on high and one goal in sight. We. Will. Save Call of duty.

Sorry I had to do that.

Yes Call of duty has faltered since WAW but It's to be expected. I expect shit from Treyarch but I still have faith in IW but hopefully the string of bad reviews from die hard fans will make activision realise we need a two year break, maybe more to script a decent plot the like of which I expect from a game such as big as Call of duty and a decent online. This has worked before, just look at Killzone and GTA.

But make no mistake. COD has maybe 6 years left at best, It's become too big for it's own good and now it can't make every buyer happy. The influx of players from COD 4 and MW2 have doomed COD. It's best games have led to it's downfall.
