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 players and streamers. A noticeable decline in player engagement has led some YouTubers to cease content creation for the game, while competitive legends openly express their discontent.

OpTic Scump, a Call of Duty icon, claims the franchise is in its worst state ever, primarily blaming the premature release of ranked mode. The ineffective anti-cheat system has resulted in rampant cheating, severely impacting gameplay.

FaZe Swagg dramatically switched to Marvel Rivals during a live stream, fueled by frustration over connectivity problems and pervasive hacking. His stream even incorporated a live counter showcasing the frequency of cheater encounters.

Adding to the issues is the significant nerfing of the zombies mode, hindering the acquisition of coveted camouflage skins, coupled with an overwhelming number of cosmetic items. Critics argue the focus is on monetization rather than substantial gameplay improvements. Considering the franchise's massive budgets in recent years, the current situation, while understandable, is alarming. Player patience is finite, and the game appears to be nearing a critical juncture.
