Gamerheadquarters; "What an interesting reveal event, it's certainly always going to be remembered and not really for being something that was entirely successful."

COD has a long and storied career. Launching as a PC WW2 first-person shooter, Call of Duty has gone through numerous makeovers and been on just about every system. The series has gone through some serious highs and tragic lows. I’ll be looking at each Call of Duty game, the good the bad, and the ugly."
Vanguard better be at the fkn bottom. Can’t believe ppl haven’t eviscerated that game with all its lacking
Same for me.
I was never huge into Call of Duty, but I sunk a lot of time into WaW.
Both the campaign and the multiplayer are on point. Wouldn't mind a remaster.
I quit on CoD for a long while. Though I'm the odd man out that actually really enjoyed the campaign for WWII, being I got it through Humble monthly way back when.
I agree, The Infinite campaign feels more like it's own thing that they slapped the CoD name on. If it stood on it's own, (sans the CoD name) I think it could have been it's own scifi franchise. And a damn good looking game, to boot. I never bothered to play the multiplayer.
Uncle Mattrick was just following orders. he did nothing wrong
That reveal sank their entire brand, it's unreal.
Xbox went from coming out of nowhere, lasting a 4 year generation with the Xbox, then going toe to toe with the biggest names in console gaming the next gen later.
To this.
A bloody joke. Not just with pro TV, but half baked games, scummy service models on top of their already disgusting, "pay for the privilege to use your internet", service.
My only hope is the Master Chief X version is great and Halo6/Fable:Next and new IP's are GOTY material, but I just don't know if they can be when they're made by that company.
Idk, time will tell.
This is basically what it boiled down to

That reveal absolutely shot down years of good will in an instant. The last gen Xbox was already faltering in the final few years with its exclusive output. Then in comes the reveal of the Xbox One making every conceivable mistake possible.
Bundled Kinect
High price
Focus on TV
No actual Kinect games or use of the tech
DRM
And on and on..
The Xbox One reveal was the most disastrous reveal of a console that I can recall. 5 years later and whilst many things have been righted, the core problem, the exclusives still hasn't been solved. It makes the Xbox brand the weakest it has ever been since it's inception.
It was terrible
