It’s Good for Growing the Playerbase To be fair, you need people on the other side as well as brothers beside. Alternative game modes like “Zombies” and the hide-and-seek-style “Prop Hunt” have gained considerable popularity in recent years, injecting new life into the old CoD formula - and there are at least a few reasons why innovations like these should be franchise staples going forward. Since its move into the information age with 2007’s Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, the series has shambled from ‘best modern military FPS’ to something approaching a gun-toting version of EA’s yearly sports releases. But hope does remain.
Keeping a franchise fresh is no cakewalk, even with a following and brand recognition as strong as Call of Duty (CoD).
