cod always does the yearly release, since like 2006 I think. If you’re on about mw2/3 specifically, mw3 was initially meant to be a stop-gap dlc for mw2 until activision ordered sledgehammer turn it into a full sized game incorporating several mechanics from mw2

CoD games have been released yearly for two decades now, I’m not sure why you’re acting like it’s only the last three games

Where you been for the last like 19 years? Cod’s released *at least* One new game every 12 months since around 2005 lol

I love all the negative reviews. Maybe Activision will open their eyes. They probably won’t, and fools will still gobble those games up.

2 words. Activision, money.
That’s it, wrap up the thread, no other explanation needed, seriously.

Because there are actually 3 different game studios that make call of Duty, not one. They take turns. So each game gets 3 or so years of dev time. More than enough with how little innovation happens.

I’m older, but I started playing with MW2 and as far as I can remember they have been releasing titles on a yearly basis. Maybe one or two titles they released a little while after a year but for the most part, it’s every single year.

my idea for companies doing yearly releases of games is; they dont think their game is good enough to keep people playing longer than a year. recently, thats been horrifyingly true for a lot of the community, but i still like that people play the older games.

Because different studios work on different games so they can release yearly to make big money.

Pretty sure a while back they decided that Treyarch, infinity Ward, and sledgehammer were going to be the 3 developers making the game giving each developer 2-3 years to make the game. Covid messed up the Cold War release, I think mw2 had its 2 years to develop (that might be wrong) and mw3 was supposed to be a big dlc until Activision forced sledgehammer to release it as a standalone game in which they had to rush to get it out.

Are you brand new to call of duty? It’s been yearly release for like 18 years.

Your question is unclear but I am assuming you are asking why MW2 (2022) and MW3 (2023) back to back?
Easy answer is money.
MW3 was heavily rumoured to be a DLC for MW2 Year 2. Until Craptivision scrapped the idea and decided to release a full fledged title in 2023. This rubbed a lot of people the wrong way including myself and I chose not to buy or play MW3.
Black Ops 6, while not looking like it had 4 years of development, it is technically a sequel to Black Ops Cold War from 2020 so that game can get a pass.
Just a side note that you don’t have to buy every years release.
You could’ve in theory just bought Cold War and played that for 4 years until BO6.
