This game is an acid trip, and I mean that literally. While I understand that they have made the conscious decision to sever themselves from what everyone wants, the fact that they are tripling down under pressure is based.

If they are this dedicated to making something nobody wants, maybe they do have a vision for the future- and they need a game so bonkers it did a factory reset on people's expectations. That's why they brought back Raven as lead developer- the ones who made Hexen, Heretic, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Singularity, Soldier of Fortune 1 and 2, and Ghosts- since before making call of duty, they were an iD software sister studio. Ever heard of Wolfenstein 2009? The reason they make call of duty is because that game failed. Now all of their anger and frustration can be brought out in all of its fury.

This game isn't the one we wanted. It is a cry of revenge by a studio kept in limbo while sleeping on Godzilla levels of talent. This game is Call of Duty's reckoning, and Activision knew it. And they went all in. While it is inescapable that this game is on the same level as Hobo With a Shotgun, The Toxic Avenger, and Sharknado, I cannot fault them for it. Because doubling down this close to microsoft taking the franchise behind the shed takes guts, and if this is how they are starting out, we are going to have the wildest call of duty experience ever. And the guts of trying that alone is based.
