Activision’s Call of Duty has been going through a tumultuous time right now. Receptions from the players are getting more and more negative, while active-player counts are dropping by a staggering amount. Below, we have accumulated some of the most common complaints that the fans have for the series, which, according to them, is ruining the game.
Recently, the UK authorities blocked the acquisition deal between Microsoft and Activision Blizzard, giving the Call of Duty developers a tough time. But that was not the end of their misfortune. While the global launches of their most recent title, Modern Warfare II were phenomenally successful, the post-launch experience was equally disappointing.

Ever since the launch, veteran players and loyal followers of the series have been making more and more complaints about the modern Call of Duty titles. While the developers have been doing their best to satisfy the players’ needs, the complaints are only stacking up one after another. So here is a concise list of fan-made complaints about the new COD:
- Traditional mini map
- Traditional perk system
- Movement improvements
- Less visual recoil and more actual recoil
- Better attachment management, even if it means lessening the number of attachments
- Fast sprint to fire
- Set recoil patterns
- Good spawns
- 3 lane Treyarch style maps
- slide cancel
- reload cancel
- bunny hop
- Pacing options at launch
- Fun
And the list goes on…
Among the complaints, the most common was the minimap issue. Players desperately miss the traditional minimap with a red dot identifying their position. Even small online lobby nuances such as sprint cancel and reload cancel are also highly missed by fans in the newer titles.

Overall, what fans want the most is the classic Call of Duty experience. All the new titles may be packed with modern touches and technologies, but to the loyal fans, nothing beats a good old game of Call of Duty. This sentiment is very apparent in most of the negative comments on the internet, as many fans have written, time after time that, the new CoD lacks one of the most important aspects. Fun.
