Atlanta FaZe recently defeated the Dallas Empire to win the 2021 Call of Duty League Stage One Major. Faze did not lose a single game during their impeccable run. Only a day after the first major of the year, Call of Duty pros have come to a gentleman’s agreement to ban the overpowered XM-4 rifle. At the start of the tournament, Empire’s Cuyler ?Huke? Garland joined [https://www.dallasnews.com/sports/dallas-empire/2021/02/10/the-gun-is-just-really-powerful-heres-the-starting-meta-for-the-upcoming-call-of-duty-league-season/] The Dallas Morning News to discuss the loadout meta. He revealed that sub-machine players would more often than not be using the AK-47u due to its low recoil and power at range, making it head and shoulders above its competitors. Huke [https://twitter.com/Huke] and his SMG duo Shotzzy also use the compensator attachment along with flash grenades, semtex, and a trophy system. Meanwhile ‘Arcitys’ explained, ?I thought there were going to be a lot more subs at the beginning of the year, but more and more ARs have come out. I think our team has been running three ARs for the past couple weeks.? XM-4 BANNED FROM CALL OF DUTY LEAGUE The XM-4 and the Krig have been the assault rifles of choice throughout the tournament. Its quick fire-rate compiled with its ability to do damage at range came to the forefront over the course of the event. Huke added, ?The XM4 is just really powerful, to be honest, especially with the new update, they got rid of the visual recoil on the XM4. The recoil is the same, but on your screen, it would shake. They got rid of that and it made the XM4 even better.” Following Faze Atlanta’s win, many pros have come out posing a gentleman’s agreement to bar the use of the XM-4. A gentleman’s agreement in Call of Duty [http://www.essentiallysports.com/category/esports/call-of-duty-modern-warfare/] is a sign of trust between players that they will not use the agreed-upon weapons, attachments, or perks. Previously items like the AK-47, all snipers, stim shots, and decoys have undergone this treatment. Alongside the XM-4, the Muzzle and Spetsnaz Compensator attachments for the AK-47u have been banned. Pro player Clayster has already announced that his new AR of choice will be the QBZ-83. What do you think will be the next overpowered assault rifle in Black Ops Cold War? Let us know in the comments below.

<h3 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9">Call of Duty: History and Sale in 2022</h3>
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. The Sony PlayStation 5 version sold 17,710 physical copies in Japan in the same week, ranking sixth among video game sales across all formats.
In the fourth quarter of 2022, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II had the biggest opening quarter in franchise history, earning $1.85 billion. This is $694 million more than last year in the last quarter of 2021.

The 2019 title is a reboot of the Modern Warfare series and also the sixteenth main entry into the overall Call of Duty series. Developed by Infinity Ward and published by Activision, Modern Warfare was released globally on October 25, 2019, for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.

The gameplay takes place in a modern-day and realistic setting. Although set in a distinct timeline from the other Modern Warfare games, several popular characters from the Modern Warfare subseries including Capt. John Price made their return.
<h3><strong>Call of Duty: Warzone</strong></h3>
On March 10, 2020, Infinity Ward, Raven Software, and Activision released a free-to-play battle royale extension of 2019's Modern Warfare known as Warzone. Since its release, Call of Duty: Warzone has established itself as one of the most prominent battle royale titles.

Despite being a part of Modern Warfare, the battle royale extension does not require the purchase of the campaign and multiplayer. Warzone is the second battle royale in the franchise's history, following the Blackout mode from 2018's Black Ops 4.

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. Within the first month of its release, Warzone exceeded 50 million players and has kept gaining immense popularity ever since.
<h3><strong>Warzone 2.0</strong></h3>
Infinity Ward and Raven Software created the free-to-play battle royale video game Warzone 2.0. It is a follow-up to Call of Duty: Warzone from 2020. Despite being a component of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II in 2022, the game may be purchased independently. Modern Warfare II Season 1 material included its debut. The game supports cross-platform play and adds the DMZ extraction mode.
<h3><strong>Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War</strong></h3>
Black Ops Cold War is the newest iteration in the Call of Duty franchise. The game, jointly developed by Treyarch Studios and Raven Software, launched worldwide on November 13, 2020.

The gameplay takes place during the 80s when the Cold War was at its peak. In addition to bringing back the elements of the Black Ops subseries, popular characters from the subseries also make their return. Alex Mason, Jason Hudson, and Frank Woods come together to prevent a possible global war.

Black Ops Cold War is the seventeenth installment in the overall series and the sixth in the Black Ops series. In December 2020, the developers integrated Black Ops Cold War with Call of Duty Warzone.

Since its origination as a franchise, Call of Duty has earned more than $15 billion and has sold more than 300 million copies worldwide, as of May 2019. This makes it the most successful video game franchise created in the United States, and the sixth highest-grossing video game franchise of all time.
