MW3 gets rinsed by The Finals as PS5 and Xbox free to play FPS surges

Despite promising content in MW3 Season 1, the new Call of Duty is falling down the charts amid the release of The Finals on PS5 and Xbox.

Finals > cod rn we need competition to elevate games rn

[raWfodog]

The answer to mediocrity is almost always something fresh and innovative.

[Ironmike]

I played it for 10 hrs u will get bored quick with only 2 modes great at first but gets boring quick I give till July next Yr it be dead I haven't seen many major streamers go on about or really play loads of it tbh

[Kaze88]

@Ironmike I find this way more enjoyable than latest cods, apex or bf2042. Played 20h on open beta and way more now and still not feeling bored at all.

[SinisterMister]

This game is the definition of fun, no cap.

[Vengeance1138]

Did you seriously say "no cap" unironically? lol

[SinisterMister]

The pun wasn't intended lol

[Vengeance1138]

That's so poggers lawl no cap

[isarai]

The TTK is a bit much for me personally, but damn is it satisfying, and feels so good to have a game go back to focusing destruction which has been taking a far back seat since the PS360 gen ended

[crazyCoconuts]

Yes! Even Battlefield seemed to abandon the focus on destruction.
The destruction in this game is bonkers. Love it

[shinoff2183]

Good to see. Maybe ill tweet that to the cod team seems they were so upset over a damn joke.

[gold_drake]

the finals is a better game and much more fun haha

[badz149]

Wonder what they will say on X now haha

[TheColbertinator]

The fools on Twitter are scrubs that suck at FPS games.

[Ironmike]

Unless they introduce more modes it die quick only got 2

[crazyCoconuts]

I'm sure a team deathmatch will come out. They probably want ppl to focus on the objective based ones out of the gate

[victorMaje]

Though I prefer military settings & weapons, The Finals is fun & makes think finally a dev focusing on the potential of the genre.

[anast]

This is funny.

[boing1]

I hope they have a plan for how to keep The Finals alive for longer.

[MetroidFREAK21]

I'll check this out. See what's all the hub-bub about 🤔

[DarXyde]

Good.

I'm glad this is happening. Kottick rode the low effort-high returns wave for ages. It is too early to say, but I sincerely hope CoD just gets outright de-prioritized.

I don't even really play FPS games except for the rare gems like Condemned: Criminal Origins (less so for Bloodshot). I'm just thrilled to see them sweating right now.

[Plague-Doctor27]

They're most definitely not sweating. Still #1 for November. A new free to play FPS with a hyped beta has a long way to go before it makes CoD sweat. Can check the charts at the end of the month and see how things stand before we make any judgment calls

[Neonridr]

it's a shiny new toy, and it's free. Naturally it'll be popular at the start. How long it sticks around is the key factor here.

[itsmebryan]

"The Finals" is free to play . Why is it's player numbers being compared to a paid game. I thought successful paid games are judged by sales. If a game is new and free you should have more players because it's free.

[Rainbowcookie]

Cod is falling short again 🙂

[thesoftware730]

LOL,

Another CoD killer, how many times have we heard this? smh

I hope people realize that CoD is on every platform, and so is this game, you can play both or the one of your choosing.
Additionally, this game is FTP, and CoD will continue to bring in more revenue, and has a fan base that will remain intact.

Why can't multiple games be successful? This game launched, and people are trying it, some will stay, and some will move on, can we stop attempting to make it seem like this game will kill CoD or have some important impact on CoD status?

[isarai]

No one said "CoD Killer" except you 🫤

[thesoftware730]

The implication brother.

[isarai]

Yeah, sure bud 😒

[CPTN MITCHELL]

Mw3 is boring and cod in general need to take a break every year the same game as the year prior. The finals is just fun specially with friends

[jlove4life]

Wait this yr Cod not a Killer game

[Sonic1881]

This game is fun!

[z2g]

I love how suddenly there's exponentially more hatred toward COD after MS bought them.....
MW3 is bs for sure, but get back to me when these games have met or exceeded CODs revenue and establishment in the FPS world.

That being said, Activision better step up the next COD

[ApocalypseShadow]

I love how shills go after gamers for having more fun in a new game and saying what's obvious about a cash grab. Which was jokingly stated by Judge at an award show with everyone knowing it's true that it's a 'by the numbers' and short campaign. Somehow Kotick is a good guy and Microsoft, the TRILLION dollar company is the little guy for grabbing 3rd party publishers.

It's the same hatred. Cope more.

[Ironmike]

I noticed it on this site specifically as well all sudden its shit but if being ps5 exclusively it would have been the best cod ever its not yhe nest but its not the worst either

[Rocketisleague]

Cod has gotten shit on for years because its been an awful cash grab for years

[jznrpg]

CoD has been copy and paste crap long before MS came around to it and people have been saying so for a long time.

[S2Killinit]

Its a better Fps than cod, that is for sure. I
Wonder if we are finally seeing the cracks in cod’s armor. Nothing lasts forever I guess. The casual hype train finally leaving cod land for greener pastures.
