It's hard to put my finger on just what makes IW so gosh darn golly gee whiz boring to play. It's competently made,runs pretty well,etc. but it is just dull. AW, which I hated, is now more fun to me to play. Neither hold my interest for long, but if I play one, I boot up AW. One thing might be the social aspects. CoD was much much more fun when I used to sign on, and there were twenty to thirty friends playing. It's a social game in many respects. Playing alone can be fun at times, in some situations, but for the most part solo play sucks. That's one of the negatives of CoD that has dragged it down for years. The game is a shitty solo play game. And it refuses to evolve. It's still a dozen plus game modes that all play the same way . . . game starts, play for yourself, play for your KD ratio. KC, DOM, etc..doesn't matter. They are all pretty much "SUCK THE KD COCK" game. Here's the thing. Complete strangers might want to work together to play CoD, play the game in it's various multiplayer game modes. But it's never EVER going to happen as long as the retards running it, refuse to let go of that stupid stat. You would have thought the developers would have learned something from Destiny. Destiny was a A+ game in terms of social play. It was a fantastic experience that brought people together, to play together, because you had too. You needed teammates to do the game. Did CoD learn from that? Hell no. The only thing the retards at CoD took from Destiny, is that they needed to add 'supers' and better exo jumping. They completely missed Destiny's social play successes.

My biggest gripe is this is CoD: Infinite Waiting. The player counts seem dismal on Xbox which has led to all sorts of other problems such as disappearing game modes, BS leaderboards, etc. I will suffer through a lot if I can just play on demand.

Player counts are bad on PS4 as well. Dead game seems dead to me.

On XB1, IW is the third most popular CoD, behind both Black Ops 3 and Black Ops 2. And even though BO2 is only available on XB1/360, it still feels like the second most popular CoD from community interest. I'm curious to see how much staying power BO3 will have in Year 3. Its popularity has been very durable in its second year like CoD4's was during the WaW cycle.

COD always gets crap star ratings since it's the domestic abuser of our video games. We hate it, we complain endlessly about it and it is probably harmful to our lives, but we cannot quit it.

Its popularity has been very durable in its second year like CoD4's was during the WaW cycle. that website is kind of vague. So this would be the most played? Per month? Per week? 01. GTA V 02. CoD BlackOps 3 (Nov 2015)- 03. NBA 2k17 04. Minecraft 05. Tom Clancy's Rainbow 6 06. Roblox 07. Overwatch 08. Battlefield 1 09. CoD Black Ops 2 (Nov 2012) 10. Rocket League 11. FIFA 17 12. Friday 13th 13. Madden 17 14. CoD Infinite Warfare 15. Destiny A couple takes from the above - I found an article from Nov of 2015 that said that GTA V was top played, getting 8 million people per week (11/2015). That's all systems, so I would venture a guess that the above Xbox rankings (40% of the above, cut in half) would be around 1.5 million people per week. So is BO3 still getting around a million per week??? - Almost half the list is shooter type of games. People still must love that genre, shooting and killing things. - CoD itself still must be somewhat popular. People may not like IW, but they must like Treyarch's version of the games. - According to VG Chartz (for whatever it's worth), IW has only sold HALF as many games as BO3. That's pretty crazy, how far IW has dropped in popularity. It would appear that it is even going to sell way below Advanced Warfare, which in my opinion was by far the worst CoD game ever made. - GTA V might very well be the best video game ever made. I think amongst all systems, it has sold well over 60 million. Twice the sales any of the best selling CoDs

While VGChartz is a questionable source, Infinite Warfare sales being down 50% year-over-year is not bogus. And that's with the carrot of MWR!

I think if one is looking for a second or third source verification of the "50% sales drop", we also have the issue of the leaderboards in the game. Infinite Warfare went to great lengths to hide the leaderboards upon release. As we have all talked about here, they did it because those boards clearly showed how many people have played the game. One could match up year to year numbers relatively easily. For months they remained hidden, while their programmers tried to figure out how to reconfigure the leaderboards. This is pathetic and just shows you what these people think about their clients/customers. Not much. Hiding sales figures was more important than giving us something that has been in every game since 2007.
For the above and above alone....Infinite Warfare deserved to go down in flames and be buried as a crap-azz game.

Meh. Infinite Warfare didn't deserve for rekt.
If only they were more clever with the marketing instead of ending up with youtube's most disliked video.
