Lol almost everything you said was false. [This is talking about CoD, not comparing it to Destiny] CoD has almost no TTK, with almost every gun clocking in at a .2 TTK. Weapon balancing? Is that why everybody uses the same guns? Also, you might as well stick a grip on a heavy machine gun because it makes it an assault rifle with no kick and high damage. CoD is trash. Difficult to replicate? Ummm. CoD is probably the simplest game ever, and that's why it attracts such a broad range of players. They're still using the Quake engine from the 90s...nobody broke a sweat in that area. It's not difficult to replicate, it's just that games that try to fail due to it being so similar to CoD, why should all of the idiots take a rehashed version when they can have the original? Connectivity issues? There's been about a .5 second lag time between what you see and what everybody else sees since BO1. This is due to a problem in their net code but because they sell so many games for just pennies on the dollar, they have no need to actually fix it. That's laziness. If they really cared about their fanbase, they would update to a new engine, actually put in real dedicated servers(not the hybrid bullshit they use now), overhaul their game to make it enjoyable, and increase the skill gap between players. Even the best players in the game get killed a lot because even the worst players in the game can equip overpowered weapons to close the skill gap. Yet another major issue in cod that's been happening since about MW3. CoD sells simply because it is the same gear year after year, with a few new skins and mechanics that don't really change the core function of the game. Games that take skill won't sell as much because the bad players won't be able to kill as many people, so they won't feel like a badass, discouraging them from ever getting better at any other game.
