They had 2-3 "modern" COD games before that, including Advanced Warfare (kind of futuristic), BLOPS3 and Modern Warfare 3. I think the bashing mostly came not because of the game itself. I wont even start talking about lootboxes other players CAN see you opening to induce jealousy and encourage you to buy their fcking lootboxes as well. Your average "gamer" is uninspired bag of boring fuckmeat and boy publishers know that. It's so shallow,boring,unimaginitive that somehow it doesnt even surprise me that it is selling so good. It's linear as fuck,you cant even kill enemy sniper or MG bunker if that doesnt follow then strict script of the game. It's western front again ( like WW2 didint take in many many different places around the world and have way more interesting fronts than western one ), it's opening is D-Day.REALLY? D-DAY all over again? it's riddled with M.Bay over the top bullshit action scenes. This 'fresh breath of air' which for some people somehow meant getting back to WWII setting which is probably most used and abused game setting in a history of everything is just vomit inducing.
