Funny enough: there are TWO Call of Duty mobile games — the original one in Unity and Warzone Mobile made with IW9 engine.

The original one still has better metrics, but it's on revenue share 😎

Yeah, if you missed the point: the recent "COD lost $300m because of GamePass" isn't true in my opinion.

They lost it because the series is getting worse for what was supposed to be their target audience.

Both gamers and critics are disappointed in Black Ops 7.

The campaign is messy surreal and pointless. It may find the audience later, same as it happened with Black Ops 3 and Infinite Warfare.

But the story is online only, which means, the campaign will only live while servers are up. The campaign doesn't even allow you to pause it, since it's technically a Warzone-like instance running, so escape just shows the menu, while the bots are still fighting.

And the multiplayer is just a digested mix of all previous games and has no personality. They are making it all look and feel like a reference to the series and not the new game in the series.

Final nail in the coffin: Call of Duty uses AI in so many places and in such wrong ways that they have Ghibli ripoff UI elements!

Imagine a real genuine player picking this as a profile banner... My expectations were low but holy fuck...

Good guy Valve

All modern CoD games are under the same counter on Steam. According to it, the series only peaked at 87K CCU yesterday, about 40-45K over the average.

Battlefield 6 alone still holds over 270K CCU there, Arc Raiders is at 420K, Delta Force is over 200K and Escape From Duckov was at 115K CCU yesterday.

Call of Duty just lost to EFT parody with rubber ducks...

Oh, wait, this game IS ON PS4 and Xbox One?! The input delay and frame drops are nuts...

Now we know more specific numbers: Call of Duty Black Ops 7 sales in Europe are horrible, despite the extremely high production costs (according to Game Sales Data).

Meanwhile, Anno 117: Pax Romana from Ubisoft has sold around 2.5x more at launch than 2019’s Anno 1800. The game is doing much better than expected.

Black Ops 7 is already discounted on consoles, which doesn't usually happen with the most recent CoD entries even on Black Friday.

And there's no sale on Steam: apparently, they don't believe it will help there. All other CoD games are on sale on Steam right now by the way.

This trailer looks odd in 2026 🥲

I'm not even kidding: there will be a collaboration between Call of Duty Mobile and Persona 5

Meet Modern Warfare 4

So, North Korea? It didn't work for Homefront, but it was cool at times. And equally memorable in Crysis.

Wait, they literally stole the character from Battlefield 4 into MW4!

You can add all the nice systems in the universe, but nothing will counter that level of cringe... yes, TMNT and Beavis are killing the Terminator.
