The Call of Duty community was once thriving but in recent years, it seems like things have really started to change and I can’t help but think that the franchise is actively killing off many portions of the community. Today, I wanted to share a handful of non-gameplay related reasons that I feel are contributing to this as well as how I feel they could turn some of these issues around. What are your thoughts on the current state of the CoD community?
