This game was not on my radar but I just watched this trailer and it looks really crisp in terms of gameplay and seems to have some very interesting dynamics.

Very excited to try it!

Open Beta from TODAY!

I think we are really too optimistic here cod isn't as evolutionary and innovative as the finals but what keeps the gamer coming back to trigger their dopamine is frankly nostalgia Cod and battlefield will always be preferred because of brand familiarity these aren't established brands it's a good start but to dethrone COD it would need to establish its brand over the years which isn't going to be simply easy
IP that has potential to dethrone COD : Battlefield and Pubg
IPs that have low brand relevance but may dethrone cod : Apex ,Titanfall ,Xdefiant , and The finals

Also COD just nails the smooth feel and has generally tht smooth fps. Alot of times I'll try another shooter and it just never feels quite as smooth.

xDefiant is okay but doesn't show the potential this does...

I'm sure we will get more games too that want that crown.
Noone can kill COD except COD

Activision has a cog machines

Unless those studios were forced to make other projects to serve the Rent Pass catalogues. That's the fastest to kill COD.

Knowing their mother company, sure damn hell does.

There's so many awesome F2P games coming out in the next 6 months!

The Finals for objective-based fans

XDefiant for arena shooter fans

The First Descendant for looter shooter fans

Supplements:

DMZ (CoD): Mission-based

Zombies DMZ (CoD): Horde-based

and all these games doesn't require an overpriced PS Plus membership.

Will play the Finals beta on my lunch break but not giving my hopes up. Xdefiant is ok if you don't own a current gen COD game, but if you do you wont like Xdefiant bc COD is much better.

I played the XDefiant beta on PS5 and haven't had so much fun in a CoD game since Blops2, so...

The name is also important. 'Call Of Duty' itself makes the casuals go crazy and they flock to it. It has so much weight in the industry. XDefiant sounds like garbage 🤣

If you are specifically going for the COD crowd, you better have a nice name to your game, first and foremost.

Medal Of Honor was successful, but it has become irrelevant now due to EA's incompetence.
