Later we saw the release of COD: Modern Warfare which was received very positively and it still continues to have a loyal fan base even to this day. World War II was always a popular theme for the franchise since that is where the first game started from. One of the biggest reasons why people were starting to get disappointed from the franchise was that it was the same game being released each year, only with a different story and skin. Every year a new game in the series comes out, and every year we get to hear about how it sucks compared to some of the older COD titles. Over the years, the Call of Duty franchise has created a name for itself, and it has become a huge deal.
