Call of Duty has been a staple FPS franchise on practically every platform, but as of late it seems the industry is growing tired of the yearly churned out franchise by Activision. Call of Duty: Ghosts wasn\’t as well received on many platforms as it’s predecessors, but Activision doesn\’t see this as an issue. In a new interview Eric Hirshberg of Activision had the following to say about sluggish sales and negative reviews:

\”I know that Call of Duty’s a polarising franchise with some of the critics, and it’s clear to me that not all the critics like our strategy of making a game every year, but thankfully our fans do.\” \”It’s also clear to me that the critical response doesn\’t always mirror the fans\’ appreciation of a game. We actually do read the critics\’ comments and take them into consideration during our creative process, but we just can\’t measure ourselves by that yardstick alone.\”

Our review of Call of Duty: Ghosts was a mixed bag, criticizing the Single Player, but applauding the balance of the Multiplayer. In comparison, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 for Wii U was met with the same issues, but did get a slightly lower score then Ghosts. How do you feel about the Call of Duty franchise? Is it time to give it a rest, or are the fans still passionate about it enough to warrant a yearly issuing? Let us know in the comments.
