10 Reasons Call Of Duty Must Be Boots On The Ground After Infinite Warfare

One of the biggest complaints about Call of Duty's pivot towards sci-fi is the complete erosion of what the franchise is about. People play CoD because the franchise offered a Hollywood-esq take on warfare and the military.

Yet, while there is still a sense of militarism, when it's so far out in the future it looses some of what we relate to. It's easy to relate to a commando in camouflage chucking a grenade and getting into knife fights while wondering around in some Middle Eastern war-zone. On the other hand, you disconnect from that modern (or past) military "simulation" when you have cyborgs and exosuits flying in the air and shooting laser weapons.

Now, there isn't anything wrong with sci-fi or even 3D movements in other games and media. However, we're talking about CoD here.

It'd be the same as if Nintendo made 'Advanced Mario Bros.', a game set in the future of the Mushroom Kingdom where Mario's great-grandson is a photo-realistic bald dude who wears an exosuit and incorporates Sonic the Hedgehog-style gameplay.

Would you want to play that? Of course not, and that's pretty much what the recent CoD games have been to the franchise.
