One of the most famous CoD players thinks the series is in the worst state now

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is facing a significant downturn, prompting concern from prominent streamers and competitive players. Leading figures like OpTic Scump, a Call of Duty legend, have voiced alarm, claiming the franchise is in its worst state ever. Scump attributes much of the problem to the premature release of ranked mode, exacerbated by a malfunctioning anti-cheat system leading to rampant cheating.

This sentiment is echoed by FaZe Swagg, who dramatically switched to Marvel Rivals during a live stream, frustrated by persistent connectivity issues and a high encounter rate of hackers, even displaying a live counter tracking these incidents.

Adding to the woes is the significant nerfing of the zombies mode, hindering the acquisition of desirable cosmetic items, coupled with an overwhelming influx of cosmetic microtransactions. This perceived focus on monetization over substantial gameplay improvements, particularly stark given the franchise's historically massive budgets, is fueling player discontent. The situation highlights a dwindling player base and a potential tipping point for the franchise's future. Player patience is finite, and the current trajectory is cause for serious concern.
