The franchise has been around for the past few years and has been handled by countless developers. Each instalment would feature something new like different weapons for players to toy with and equipment such as riot shields and more that could benefit this year’s entry to appeal to older fans.

Activision realized the franchise’s impact and has spent years working on new content that would appeal to the gaming community.

The developers incorporated the live service structure and gave the fans a new battle royale called Warzone and added features like executions and finishing moves in Call of Duty many would argue that it is a step too far while others enjoy using them in matches.

Executions are one of the many changes the developers made to the franchise, but some players wish the in-game weapons and equipment will receive its fair share of attention.

Each player has unique preferences with playstyle, some may prefer to play aggressively while others are more careful and are on the defensive side which should be catered to in this year’s entry.

Another request made by the fans is that the developers should consider bringing back the gore that made earlier Black Ops games a success.

Perhaps the developers are trying to stray away from the past and build something new for the modern audience, however, reflecting on older concepts that helped the legacy titles would be a nice touch of consistency.

The efficiency and firepower of certain Call of Duty weapons like sniper rifles have plagued the multiplayer lobbies for too long, and fans hope the developers will take the time to take a second look and make the necessary adjustments.

Treyarch and Raven Software need a better and deeper understanding of the community and their preferences with play style. It should not always be about who has the bigger gun and which weapon carries more firepower, there are other ways to fight back without shooting at first glance.

There is always room for improvement giving the players the option to use riot shields to remember the older days and other equipment for defense would offer the developers more opportunities to utilize it. Players have grown competitive and will seek out every tool in their arsenal to give them an edge against their opponents.

Call of Duty multiplayer lobbies are now hotspots for a toxic gaming community to exchange insults and make fun of each other. This is one of the many negative traits and attributes the gaming community has gained as the franchise grew stronger.

Riot shields will allow the players to defend themselves from harm and give them a fighting chance. Providing more equipment will likely improve the variety of tools at their disposal.
