Call of Duty is Firmly in its Slop Era
The latest Call of Duty releases reflect a disturbing trend towards absurdity and lack of identity. Infiltrated by cartoonish skins and bizarre crossovers, the franchise feels more like a clown show than a military shooter. Players are acknowledging this decline, with many expressing disgust over the latest character designs. EA's upcoming Battlefield 6 appears to be a response, promising a return to serious military aesthetics. - While it plans to avoid gimmicky skins, concerns about gameplay mechanics linger. - The pressure to attract millions of players raises questions about its direction. Ultimately, Battlefield 6 has the chance to reclaim the genre, but only if it avoids the missteps of its predecessor. Time will tell if it can truly capitalize on Call of Duty's current misfortunes.
