Call of Duty players argue multiplayer won\u2019t improve without competition Activision BlizzardMany Call of Duty players now believe the online suite, specifically 6v6 multiplayer, will not improve until true competition hits the market. For over a decade, Call of Duty has remained in a league of its own when it comes to the first-person military shooter space. Sure, experiences such as Battlefield, Halo, and PUBG occasionally manage to shake up the status quo in this regard. None have truly contested Activision\u2019s golden goose, however, especially not enough to impact the publisher\u2019s bottom line. Some longtime fans contend this is the very reason Call of Duty\u2019s multiplayer won\u2019t receive significant improvements. Modern Warfare 2 players believe Call of Duty \u201cneeds competition\u201d In a lengthy Reddit post, user Zakari2112 argued Call of Duty\u2019s 6v6 multiplayer will continue to struggle because there aren\u2019t better games to \u201cdrive players and money away from CoD\/Warzone.\u201d The Redditor pointed out how Activision\u2019s focus on Warzone in recent years stemmed from the meteoric rise of PUBG and its many copycats. \u201cWarzone has more players than 6v6 and makes more money, so Warzone gets the focus,\u201d the user added. As such, competition is exactly what\u2019s needed to breathe new life into the 6v6 offering. \u201cHopefully, another 6v6 modern setting arcade shooter will come and gain enough popularity to hurt CoD\u2019s bottom line.\u201d Based on responses in the Reddit thread, Zakari2112\u2019s fellow Call of Duty players couldn\u2019t agree more. A few people remarked that recent releases from both Battlefield and Halo were, unfortunately, not up to the challenge. Meanwhile, others expressed surprise at the lack of competition Call of Duty faces in the shooter space. Asked one fan, \u201cwhy are there no AAA developers trying to make a COD-style arcade FPS?\u201d EA\u2019s Medal of Honor received its fair share of shoutouts in the thread, too, with many hoping it\u2019ll one day receive another mainline entry. Maybe then Call of Duty\u2019s multiplayer would get the kick in the pants it needs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
