Despite the record-breaking release of Call of Duty Modern Warfare II [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-ii-2/] and Warzone 2 in 2022, the series has somehow failed to impress the majority of players so far. Even those, who have been loyal to the franchise. At least, that’s what the situation has been like for the past few months. Many people have already claimed that the action franchise is nearly dead. Simply because it lacks the appeal it had a few years ago. Moreover, the dwindling number of players has been the main cause of several fans assuming that the series is done and dusted. And the recent figures for Steam are not painting a good picture either. It looks like both Modern Warfare II and Warzone 2 are failing to engage fans. CALL OF DUTY MODERN WARFARE II AND WARZONE 2 PLAYER COUNT DIPS UNDER 90,000 FOR THE FIRST TIME Upon the reveal of Season 1 in November last year, MWII and Warzone 2 succeeded to reach a peak figure of 488,897 concurrent players. However, the numbers fell down faster than one’s expectations within the next few weeks only. And now, after four months, the overall situation seems to be miserable for the two titles. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-II-season-2-reloaded.jpg] Going by the latest data for Steam, it looks like Call of Duty Modern Warfare II and Warzone 2 are failing to sustain their player base. Despite the release of Season 2 [https://www.essentiallysports.com/esports-news-call-of-duty-modern-warfare-ii-gun-game-party-mode-confirmed-in-season-2-fans-are-happy-and-excited/] and the mid-season update in March 2023, the two games have already lost a lot of active players.

For the first time, the two titles only had 88,367 concurrent players for a period of 30 days. Which means that now they can’t even manage to have a decent figure of close to 100,000 active monthly users. What’s interesting to note is that SteamCharts only account for PC players on the Steam platform. However, it’ still a bad news for the overall franchise. The other platforms might be witnessing similar results, if one has to make assumptions. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/call-of-duty-warzone-2-season-2-image-1.jpg] Activision will need to do something sooner than later in order to prevent more players from leaving their games. Otherwise, the Call of Duty brand might end up getting lost in the long run. What are your thoughts on this news? Let us know in the comments.

Over the span of two decades, the phrase 'Call of Duty' has become a household name. Starting in 2003, Call of Duty is a first-person shooter video game franchise published by Activision.

The franchise has given rise to some of the most popular FPS titles, with Infinity Ward and Treyarch developing most of them. Sledgehammer Games and other studios have also contributed to developing some titles. Fans are greeted with a new Call of Duty game every year, with the above-mentioned studios rotating their role as the primary developer.

First-person shooter video game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II was created by Infinity Ward and released by Activision in 2022. It serves as the nineteenth entry in the overall Call of Duty franchise and is a follow-up to the 2019 reboot. For the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S, it was published on October 28, 2022.

The game takes place in a realistic, contemporary environment, just like its predecessor. The campaign centers on the pursuit of terrorist Hassan Zyani, who is in possession of American-made ballistic missiles, by multinational special operations unit Task Force 141 and Mexican Special Forces unit Los Vaqueros. Modern Warfare II continues to offer cross-platform multiplayer thanks to a new iteration of the IW engine.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II became the fastest-selling Call of Duty game of all time. The game grossed $800 million in its first three days and $1 billion in 10 days, surpassing the series' previous record holders, 2011's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and 2012's Black Ops II. It is the best-selling game of 2022 in the United States.
In the UK, Modern Warfare II became the best-selling game in its first week of release. In Japan, the PlayStation 4 version of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II sold 24,371 physical copies during its release week, making it the second best-selling game in the country for the week.

This battle royale features 150 players in a lobby, (200 in some limited-time modes) which is much more compared to the 100 players supported by other battle royale titles.
