So if you clicked on this video
I'm pretty sure you're all aware of what the call of duty cycle is so doesn't sure you guys know call of Duty has gone through a
Lot of changes over the years and I think it's safe to say that the traditional coal duty cycle is not really existent anymore
So today I want to make this video to talk about the new coal duty cycle and what it even means so let's get right
Into this because it's very hard
I'm on black ops for today. I'm gonna be trying out the bare-bones
Mosh pit playlist which is basically no specialist mode as far as I'm aware. I haven't played it yet
And as I've said many times recently
I haven't been really frequently playing black ops 4 and it's kind of the reason why I wanted to make this video today is because
There is a new coal duty cycle and it's not a very good one either for any of you newbies out there that started with
Like cod coast or advanced warfare?
Let me explain the call duty cycle
the coal duty cycle was like a pattern that existed back in the older times of coal duty when the only two teams that were
developing the game were Infinity Ward and Treyarch essentially what was going on back then is that Infinity Ward at the time was like the
God tier studio and they were making the top two your Call of Duty games that people loved the most and expected the most out
Of and at the time truck was just playing catch-up and they weren't making games as good as Infinity
Ward was see if I can find the picture. I actually pulled up the actual coal duty cycle picture
God this feels so getting weird to play. There we go. I should be on Cod 4 or something. I don't know
Get away from me. I don't know if I can handle this game. Honestly. I might switch cold days mid video. Oh good
Let me shoot why do concussions exist why is this game the way that I think
Hey, what am I doing? Why does it feel so weird to play this game? Oh my god
Ok, I'm quitting black ops
I want to actually be able to play something that I'm not gonna do completely horrible and not this yet
Let's go - lets go to cod World War 2. Oh, I got to put the disc in
Oh, my god digital games have ruined everything. They spoiled us rather
I have this copies for World War 2 and black ops for them. Anyway, well, this is loading
Let me talk about the actual call duty cycle. So the way it used to work
Is that in November you go crazy over how good the new Call of Duty game is which is essentially what a lot of people
Called the honeymoon phase in January. You're still enjoying the game in February
You hate the game like everybody else and then when it hits March you say that the previous Col Duty game is now the best
Game and the current called it again. That's out is just trash utter garbage
And then in May you go crazy about the next Call of Duty trailer and then that cycle repeats itself
But there is new coal duty cycle and it started once sledgehammer game started making Call of Duty games
It's no longer just Infinity Ward and Treyarch making these games now. It's now sledgehammer games as well
We're no longer in a two-year cycle that repeats itself. We're in a three-year cycle
I know at this point that's not necessarily anything new but it has created one new cycle and I'm personally gonna create a graphic for
What that is. So here's the new cold new cycle in terms of development
We had this launch a more games cold 2d game, which is usually an experimental one. It's described as a game
That's completely unpredictable as far as it goes for the time air and setting it could be futuristic XO clouds
It could be a world war ii game after sledgehammer games you then have Treyarch. Oh
Ah
Just a quad fee I could have had so many more
Yeah
Treyarch is now hailed as like the best studio that's making Call of Duty which subsequently puts the most pressure on them to actually develop
the best Call of Duty games that we can get their games are more likely to be put up on a pedestal and then fall
from that pedestal
but overall they have a pretty decent reception from the coal duty community and then you have
Modern-day and infinity war the recent infinity war games in this cycle have been kind of lackluster
They haven't gotten a really good reception from the community and people's expectations are generally lower however, their games are still relatively fun
And if you're like me, you might not get invested in their games, but they are fun to play from time to time
But you might not get as invested in their games as far as it goes for the new call duty cycle
Here's where we're at
So Gymboree games will make an experimental call to the game that some of the community will like and some of it won't stearic will
Then make a game like black ops or black ops for that has some ties into the old roots of call duty games
But isn't quite the old Call of Duty game and it has a really good reception but might not actually be all that well loved
By the community and then after that Infinity Ward's had really some trash ecology game that most of the community does not like at all
And that's when the cycle starts to repeat itself and that's where these trends come from
The current infinity war team does not have the capability to catch the call duty community's attention
so what ends up happening is sledgehammer games is tasked with making a call to game that actually captures our attention whether it's exosuits and
laser guns and supply drops that completely divides the community or a classic world war 2 Call of Duty game like this their job is
To try to reel us back in and keep us interested in Call of Duty
But what's happening with advanced warfare and Call of Duty World War 2. Is that usually the games?
Don't hold you over for the entire year
Which then in the cycle has people wanting a Treyarch game because in the past they've been associated with making higher quality Call of Duty
Games that also keeps fans playing their games a little bit longer
But then it all falls apart of getting what Infinity Ward makes the next game
So that is the new Call duty cycle
But because of cold Duty World War 2 it goes a little bit deeper than that and I'll explain coldly to World War 2 started
Something interesting. This isn't anything that I rehearsed
I don't have it like nailed down to the month
World War two started a new trends that black ops 4 is actually following as well
So here's another one of the new Call duty cycles, even if we're just on Call of Duty World War 2
Let's just go to the playlist select screen when cold eater World War 2 first came out
It did not have all of these game modes
It didn't have ground war and I think it even had more variety here in the standard playlist
I'm not sure if I'm getting this 100% right, but I'm pretty sure it had like hardpoint and Kill Confirmed a standalone game modes
They didn't group it together like they are now
I think they did have capture the flag and gridiron separate though along with Search and Destroy
basically
What I'm trying to say here, is that when this game first?
Launched it had all of the standard called 2d game modes that we'd expect
It had CDMA had dominations search you name it, but it took sledgehammer games a long time to actually add more game modes
You know the game was that we actually enjoy and have the most fun playing not just the standard modes
I'm talking about ground war. I'm talking about actually having a whole party games list, which they have
Now it took them months to add infected prop on gun game and they have their own unique modes like dogfight and headquarter 24/7
But it's one of those things where we're still missing
Some of the party game modes like one in the chamber and six and stones
But at least called me to world war two now has party games and they have hardcore and they have a featured playlist as well
But here's the point. I'm trying to make coal Duty World War two did not launch with all of this content
We didn't have all of these maps and game modes all of these options at launch
It took many many months for called you to World War two to build up to what I believe is a complete Call of Duty
Game a full experience and this is the same boat. We're in with black ops 4 I have to insert the disc again
What I'm about to show you guys is actually something that's very dangerous it's very bad for Call of Duty
So now I'm on black ops 4 I'm gonna load into multiplayer
and if I'm not mistaken were what six months into the release of black ops 4
Let's take a look at our playlist offerings on black ops 4 I go to select playlist
We have the featured we have core and we have hardcore
We don't even have party games on black ops 4 we have nine standard game modes
We have six hardcore variants and then we have whatever's in the featured playlist
We have less game mode choices, especially less fun game mode choices in black ops form
This should just be downright unacceptable. And this is really the unfortunate bad news that I wanted to give you guys
This is a really vicious part of the call of duty cycle
We're now at a point where the expectations are so high especially because of a game like 4 night that we use cold duty fans
Expect a lot of content in the game at launch and it puts us in a situation
where a game like cold duty world war 2 has more content now than black ops 4 does at launch or 6 months after the
Launch it's really bad
It will get more for your money and you'll get more value in a game like Call of Duty World War 2 vs
Black ops 4 and that's really bad because this is the current Call of Duty game
this is the game that everyone should be playing and enjoy and the only way you're
to find yourself regularly playing black ops 4 is if you really just like the content that they have to offer right now you'd have
To be completely content with just playing team deathmatch. 24/7 me personally. I've been playing the series for over 10 years
I can't just keep playing these same game modes over and over and over
I can only play them so much with some slightly new maps and some slightly new weapons here and there before it starts to get
Very stale. I don't know if it's just me
Maybe it's because I have been playing cold Duty for a very long time
But they really do need to step up and innovate a lot more than they currently have been but I think that's gonna do it
For this video if you're casually just sitting here watching this video and you're like, yeah, why are you always making videos?
I'm doing why did you make this video?
I'm making this video because I'm pretty sure that we're gonna get a trailer for this year's Call of Duty game at some point
it's probably coming up in April or May and kind of prepare you guys for this year's called do the game and see if it
Actually does line up with this new call duty cycle. But again, thank you guys very much for watching
Hope you guys enjoyed this Call of Duty video
If you guys did it and you want to see some more Cod stuff, make sure to drop a like because the guys later
