Is this the one where the only new idea they could come up with is the ability to sprint backwards? Lmao

It is, and it's stupid. The only real thing they changed this time around is "supine" aiming so you can look 360° while lying down. Overall it's lower down in the recent cod releases for me. Wouldn't be bothering with it if it wasn't free on gamepass.

It was funny to me seeing comments from people saying things like "I haven't been a fan of COD for four years but this pulled me back in!"

I'm like, four years? That's it? How long have fans of other franchises been sitting on their asses waiting for a sequel for their beloved games longer than four years? I can think of quite a few tbh. It just made me feel like the average attention span for a COD fan was extremely short (relatively speaking).

Those people are probably young and 4 years is a significant portion of their lives

Ah, that explains the high player count on release
