One thing I’m surprised you didn’t touch on is that all these events took place nearly, if not exactly, back to back to back. To me personally, I felt like the fact that the game didn’t give you any “breathing room” between them, AND that all of the LTM’s were so underwhelming, just served to highlight how stale the game had gotten. Like, we got two christmas modes and a squid game mode back to back to back, and my reaction was pretty much just “oh, that’s cool I guess” and continued being pretty bored with the game. The game should be engaging enough on its own without anything special going on, and whenever the popularity starts to dip, THEN you come in with an LTM to draw players back in. The fact that we have constant LTM’s and people are still consistently finding them boring should be sounding alarms at Activision HQ.
They're just lazy and uninspired, squid game just feels like a cash grab and Archie's one was bugged out and gave some people instant completion of the event. I'm glad I quit playing 6 years ago when the devs can't even put any passion behind the product anymore and basic quality control isn't taken seriously.
They should utilize these collaborations for long-term stuff and less of these boring LTMs. Why not do a Squid Game themed Strike Map or something? The Walking Dead event back in MWIII should’ve given us a Prison map from the show. So many opportunities and they just don’t do it. At least Warzone did the Die Hard Tower back in 2021, that was cool. And the events definitely need to stop being XP-based. Gimme interesting challenges.
I gotta wonder if it's a licensing issue (bc it somehow always is when multiple brands are involved), but I agree, they need to be permeant. Otherwise I can imagine that devs are disincentivized to actually make something good and polished, knowing it'll be deleted within weeks. The prison would've been such a good idea for a map! It's subtle enough that if you don't know anything about TWD, it still fits in with the game's art style and theme, but there's still plenty of room to work in small Easter Eggs for fans. With Squid Game, I'm still surprised they didn't even do a reskin of a Strike map or anything considering they already went through the trouble of modeling the entire dorm room for the winner's circle...
It’s utterly bizarre that they didn’t tie the walking dead event into zombies at all. Like, the operators from the show about zombies.. had no lines specifically in the mode for Zombies… I know it was for The Ones Who Live, but like said, capitalise on the franchise - give us the prison or Alexandri - do some weapon blueprints like Lucille for the baseball bat or a pistol becomes Rick’s python, add a crossbow with a Daryl’s crossbow skin or Carol’s knife blueprint etc. Absolute waste.
All of the events for zombies have been a major letdown, with Jingle Hells being the best of them, the archies event being a complete bust, and the squid game having a stupid forced exfil at round 10. At this point, give us a solid addition that is NOT limited time such as grief mode or turned mode.
They are not events for the player they are excuses to release more $30 cosmetics rather than add any sort of content that the players want/improve quality of the game
So THAT'S that game I've been seeing clips of everywhere! The sad part is that it would probably only take someone a single work week to build the kind of game I described in Halo Forge or FN Creative, but it seems like COD Devs somehow have worse internal tools or procedures that hinder them from being able to do the same. I refuse to believe some random Roblox fan has more talent than the hundreds of game designers working for Activision.
I disagree about the gobblegum mania, I actually thought 50 gobblegums was worth it for the free perkaholic. I have so many trash gums lying around that I’d do that again if I could
Yea it's a pretty dumb take in my opinion. Newtons cookbook was one of the best additions I black ops 3, and that event let you pick any 50 gobbles you've collected a horde of (including whimisicals) and exchange them for 7 really good ones.
They have these events because their marketing team is better than their developers. The core game is ass but they are able to bring eyes to the game with their constant influx of camos, events, skins, and crossovers.
Honestly, if they put half as much creativity into new maps and modes than they do into skins, COD would be unstoppable. The problem is maps/modes are all temporary and don't make money directly, so the devs and Activision respectfully don't have any reason to
MW3 was peak for me. Warzone, MP, zombies. The weekly challenges, the events, the frequency, and most importantly the switched between challenges and XP based. The only thing that would have made it better was having DMZ year 2 as a 4th mode.
@ yea it should have been an updated mode like warzone. Even if it wasn’t free and had to be purchased with the next COD. New maps, new weapons, new missions.
At the moment, I think Sledgehammer is the best out of the three developers. Or at the very least they know how to actually communicate with their playerbase and how to make things not suck.
I used that 1.2 million xp lava camo the most, I will say. Fucking based camo. I do think them releasing 8 camos at once in that last event for MW3 was FUNNY as hell, and also kinda based in it's own right.
ill be so fr, I loved MWIII (2023) since launch. Still like it to this day. The content was good, especially the Aftermarket Parts! And it also just felt REALLY awarding compared to BO6. I hope they learn from this.
To me, MW3's constant unlocks were a double edged sword. Constant AMPs were great, but putting half the game's equipment behind that separate Armory system for no reason other than to extend the grind felt forced.
hey man, should’ve brought up the fact they sell their dlc guns the day the event starts, completely ruining the “race” for the dlc gun, to me thats boring and unfair
With all of these b06 problems. I downloaded codm yesterday. And the amount of maps on cod mobile is insaneeee. Its like that one gets more attention than actual console games
the most pressing issue IMO IS CAMOS STILL NOT BEING ACHIEVABLE OR EQUIPPED IN WARZONE MOBILE. Like bro they worked with MW2-3 why did bo6 get rid of camos in WZ mobile.
Until Activision announces that their anti cheat now detects any unauthorized software thats these people use for soft aimbot. Then they will never get a big portion of their player base back.
Like most things that go wrong in my life, I blame MW3 2023. There was always some kinda slop through event running for the piggies. I guess they thought BO6 needed constant events as well.
The amount of xp you get from the squid games mosh pit is a joke, you could have the best game ever but only get a tiny smudge go towards your event pass
I do miss the MW2 event of the shadow siege on season 5 reloaded when all players were teaming up together instead of killing each other like the usual DMZ and warzone it’s all vs the Konni ultranationalist of the main mission of retrieving the gas at Al mazarah research facility that it was wild when the konni pmc were pretty rough whenever we all had to deal countless rounds of the enemy Ai were coming from heavy infantry and juggernaut before the time runs out to head to the LZ to get out before the gas was exploding and later showing us of Ivan and Nolan were infiltrating shadow company and later take out all of the shadow company soldiers in the chopper and took the gas and show us the reveal trailer. Boy I miss that unlike booty ops 6 got a lot of issues since launch, but worst of all the cosmetic stuff like the squid foo event of treyarch making us pay 1100 cod points like naw foo we ain’t paying that and so are the vip foos and the PlayStation yee yee ahh mask guards and the odd Diddy toy that cod are just money hungry and they tryna copy fortnite in a worst way
Stop playing call of duty. Stop funding this game and stop giving it any span of attention. This franchise is dead and will never go back to the golden age.
Actually enjoyed the splint games event until they added the audio on to Red light Green light LMAO I stop playing after that also why don't they make events moves for hardcore matches that's what kills it for me because pentathlon is fun but I hate playing fucking core

bring back camo events
Can’t comment on something you haven’t been involved with for over half a decade 💀

@@multigamer5168 that's because the last 8 games have been the same

Watching any mainline cod drama as a codm player feels weird.
because they dont make events they make xp farming simulators next question
Dead Light Green Light should keep going until only 1 player is left, and revives are disabled.
I did use the Dune camo more than once.. 😂
Well, because the franchise's starting to be boring. Always a new game every year, never sticking with one.
The first video I've seen with actual valid criticism of BO6 that isn't just crying about SBMM.

2:43 idk why this got me so bad i legit spit my water lol ❤
mind you that dune camo was on my main mw3 gun for like....the entire game :(
for me it was the nuka cola quantum camo
bring back camo events
we need fire camo events
They’re both so boring and broken that I’ve officially quit COD
I’m liking the squid games event
good vid. deserves more attention
the most pressing issue IMO IS CAMOS STILL NOT BEING ACHIEVABLE OR EQUIPPED IN WARZONE MOBILE. Like bro they worked with MW2-3 why did bo6 get rid of camos in WZ mobile.
The game overall is boring. No matter what I play, majority of the enemy team will quit before the match is half over.
Tone deaf developers and higher ups, loyal lazy consumers, and people under the delusion that it will get better
Until Activision announces that their anti cheat now detects any unauthorized software thats these people use for soft aimbot. Then they will never get a big portion of their player base back.

to be honest they’re a good addition to take you through throughout the month but they are just so empty

They’re not made to be fun. They’re made to sell and bring bundles.
Because they just the money.
With how you explained your version of squid game wz, I'm sad that it never became a reality
remember when this series was about being a soldier
Video Idea: Stakeout and Nuketown 24-7 stereotypes
While not exactly that, I do actually have a video about the Nuketown/Stakeout/Shipment 24/7 epidemic coming in the next few weeks
Simple everyone's been babied by games like fortnite where the events are unnecessarily massive and when they're not they're considered boring
Because u can move all ur stuff over the next year at times an ain’t no telling what they’ll do this year
13:18 The Battle of Verdansk, Godzilla Vs. King Kong, Last Stand.
Those were GOOD events
Shadow Seige as well
how about: squid game shouldnt collab with call of duty in the first place?
MOM GET THE CAMERA !
The best event ive played was games of summer during mw19
Lol call of duty needs to focus on zombies and maps rather than events and micro transactions
Because the real events are the limited time skin bundles lol
I’ve seen enough hire this man.
finally a white guy that aint complaining to the wall
this is truly a good video unlike some fools that starts with blame and ends with truth
Don’t like the red light green light event bc it’s broken I would get killed even if I’m not moving when they say red light green light
Idk man the DMZ events were pretty fun
Stop playing call of duty. Stop funding this game and stop giving it any span of attention. This franchise is dead and will never go back to the golden age.
Maybe try out different games?
The finals is the game that I moved on towards.
@@stevepire-lo1wn the lame repetitive game with AI voice acting? no thanks
For it's event's are superior
this video is so real
for me it's like not fun anymore Call of Duty just try to be a fortnight
Absolutely nothing to grind for with these trash ass events, the whole game is a pile of crap.
I’m back on mw3 bo6 is snooze
Actually enjoyed the splint games event until they added the audio on to Red light Green light LMAO I stop playing after that also why don't they make events moves for hardcore matches that's what kills it for me because pentathlon is fun but I hate playing fucking core
Cause the game is trash .. so that's why the events are ... I love cod.. but Hate this !
games designed by talentless woke developers.
It’s not fatigue or the same old same old, it’s fatigue or hoping the new COD will be like the old cod buts it’s this new age garbage, they change stuff and make the game worse
This isn’t unique to BO6 either. MWIIIs we’re equally as boring.
cod is for smooth brains
Everything abt this game is boring holy shit
