Ahead of Black Ops 6, Call of Duty Needs to Forget the Last Five Years of Ridiculous Crossovers and terrible Skins and Return to What Made it Great

Call of Duty has been around for the last few years and Activision has made some creative decisions that fans have deemed questionable. The developers grew ambitious and used a similar strategy that other live service games have incorporated, tarnishing the brand and image.

This year’s entry is exciting since the developers are taking the players back to the Black Ops era. The gaming community hopes that the franchise will avoid any more ridiculous crossovers and diminish the release of cosmetic items or skins for the operators in multiplayer.

Black Ops 6 Needs to Put the Call of Duty Franchise Back on Track

Call of Duty needs to go back to its roots and avoid deviating any further.

The franchise has evolved and not everyone is a fan of it. The developers were inspired by the success of other massive live service games like Fortnite and Overwatch which prompted them to utilize a similar strategy that involves crossovers with other franchises.

It wasn’t long ago when a collaboration between Call of Duty and Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire was discovered by data miners and it came to pass in the form of operator skins. The Monsterverse representation is not for everyone and many players hope that this will be just a phase.

Cosmetic items inspired by other popular media are a great way to attract players and are another form of monetization for the developers. These crossovers are starting to get out of hand and the core of the franchise has deviated too far from its roots which is most unfortunate and is trying to become something it isn’t because the developers are threatened by the success of others.

This is among the many reasons why many players refuse to go back because it is no longer the game they enjoyed. Change is necessary for video game franchises to remain relevant but this is not the right way to go about it and the developers should take accountability and avoid relying on other franchises as a crutch.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Could Be a Breath of Fresh Air

Treyarch and Raven Software both have hands on deck for the marketing campaign of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.

The recent marketing efforts of the developers could indicate a massive shift in tone and direction for this year’s entry. The description for Black Ops 6 is quite simple and brief but also epic and packs a punch for a promising single-player story.

All eyes are on the upcoming sequel and this could convince the developers to avoid focusing on major crossovers and adding new skins and other cosmetic items and to reallocate resources to improve the campaign.

The previous campaigns of more modern entries were weak compared to what older titles have achieved with their simplistic and less ambitious nature. Crossovers are great as long as it doesn’t contradict the core of the franchise which seems to be forgotten more often these days.

The game is no longer recognizable but this year’s entry could do something about it. Are you a fan of crossover operator skins and would you like to see more in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6? Let us know in the comments section below!
