@j3diknightdave: The last two haven't been "future", although BLOPS was always a bit more advanced. So they've been done with that for a while now.
Personally, I think IW and BLOPS3 were pretty amazing, but I was really into WW2 and am enjoying BLOPS4. I've found I don't really care about the setting, gameplay usually delivers regardless.
@thelostscribe: I think it helps that COD is part of the most popular genre of games (multiplayer) FPS, rather than niche (THPS) or even fad genres (Guitar Hero).
@thelostscribe: BLOPS4 outsold RDR2 by year's end in the US at least (NPDs). RDR2 only beat BLOPS4 in November, not overtaking it overall. A bit weird talking about those two games in 2018 as they only released in October, but still managed to top the charts for the year.
In any case, the idea that COD is somehow dead or dying is laughable.
