Details on the next Call of Duty game have leaked and it sounds like a marginal improvement over the previous instalments.
For years now Call of Duty has been slated for releasing a new game every year, with the quality steadily dipping with each new release.
This year the latest addition to the franchise, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, was hit with some of the coldest criticism we’ve ever seen, and for good reason as its singleplayer campaign was unlike anything the series had produced up to that point. I should add that’s not a compliment, no Call of Duty fan wanted to fight a giant Michael Rooker.
Now details on the next game have been shared online, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4.

It’s worth noting that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019) was one of the only Call of Duty games to be given a lengthy development cycle, and it succeeded massively as a result.
Unfortunately it doesn’t sound like the fourth game in the rebooted series will get similar praise, as apparently the multiplayer offering is a carbon copy of what was found in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (2022).
Now if you liked that game’s multiplayer this is good news, but with so many criticising Activision for producing what’s essentially the same game year after year it doesn’t sound very promising.
TheGhostOfHope is the one who shared the above update over on X, saying: “Modern Warfare 4 Multiplayer in its current state is currently a complete copy of Modern Warfare II except for no perk charging system and less ADS / slide penalties
“There is A TON of visual recoil on weapons in Modern Warfare 4 just like Modern Warfare II.
"Like I said in my last tweet it's pretty much a complete copy outside of a few little things.”
This update has fans hoping the game takes a hit to its sales as a result, as Activision clearly needs a wake-up call when it comes to its quality-control.
“Hopefully it comes out, bombs even harder than BO7 did, and then they can finally stop yearly releases and put actual time and effort into making COD games again” said one fan on the matter.
Interestingly though each new Call of Duty game gets hit with its fair share of criticism, but still manages to top the charts every time.
It just goes to show that gamers need to share their criticisms with their wallets rather than their voices.
