No one posted it here but the franchise reached 300 million sold. In 2016 which was the last year they revealed the information, it had 250 million.

I'll buy their next game if it has a campaign. Love all there games due to their(most of time) fantastic action packed campaigns.
Good milestone. But Call of Duty should have been on mobile years ago.
Hopefully, this year's entry can grab me like Blops 1 did. Haven't played anything in the franchise since then.

While I have fell out of love with the series since Black Ops 2, I can respect the hustle. A franchise that has held on for a long time.
For all the shit these games bring in the form of microtransactions, asset reuses and balancing... they are still some of the most consistently great shooters around. Even the worst CODs are mechanically excellent shooters that just feel awesome to play. I got the last 7 COD games on day one and most prior ones a bit after launch, and while I'm not happy with some of the ways BO4 was handled, it's also a game I keep going back to, and realistically I'll probably be there for the next chapter, too. Again, many things are wrong with this franchise, but after playing games like anything in the Black Ops series, jumping to other shooters (with the exception of very few like Doom 2016) feels slow, awkward, almost unfun. Even Battlefield feels slow and unprecise in comparison. They nailed the gameplay so damn good, and it's one of the reasons the success is well deserved. Mechanically there's not many games that are better.
That's still like 15 million copies per game, plus maybe another 5 for the older ones in the meantime. Considering they also make crazy money with the microtransactions and they also have the F2P stuff in Asia and COD Mobile (which do not count for copies sold), seems like they're fine.
The 250 million mark is from february 2016, not 2015. That means Infinite Warfare, WW2 and Blak Ops 4 sold in excess of 50 million. Thats a gigantic sale number, its not low. And Infinite Warfare was probably the lowest selling entry in 10 years. It underperformed.
I had assumed it'd sold more given how popular it used to be and perhaps still is. That's quite the milestone though. It does seem like things are slowing down, but it was the biggest thing for a while and others have moved into the limelight.
I have fond memories of playing the early games, then Call of Duty 4 and Modern Warfare 2 with friends, among others. I also enjoyed Black Ops 3 a lot recently, but only played a little of Advanced Warfare and didn't play the remaster. I still need to go back and beat them, just haven't felt up to it.
Black Ops 4 did nothing for me. Absolutely nothing. I got it for my birthday, played it for a couple of days and ended up deleting it to free up space. The multiplayer bored me, I've never liked Zombies despite trying, and Blackout was dull. From now on, if there's no campaign I'm not even going to bother.

I'm mostly teasing. Can't say there are too many CoD threads around here.
That's a crazy milestone for the franchise. I mainly put in time with MW1 and especially MW2. The whole fall out with Infinity Ward really Turned me off from the franchise and MW3 was a let down. BO3 was really good though and I'm glad I took a chance and jumped into that game.
2016, not 2015. That is a hue number since does not count the launch of Inifity Warfare. Basically BO4 and WW2 sold at least 20 millions each. And Inifity Warfare for probably the one that sold less in 6 years
It's included, forgot to mention it. MWR launched later in 2016 I would assume somthing around 5-10 million was sold. With that there is still something to be covered since it is 300 milion plus

Plenty of COD streamers have played I believe. Can't remember the source but it was posted on here that they were invited to play the next Call of Duty installment.
COD is the third best-selling franchise in gaming

COD is only behind Pokémon now which has 311.54 million and Mario which has over 600 million at this point
black ops 3 was on ps plus in 2018, i'm sure they count every download as a sale
That's kinda insane if you compare the years and amount of titles all 3 games have. Call of Duty is well behind in terms of years and installments. Impressive

Yeah, it's very impressive. Surpassing Mario is difficult but I don't doubt the franchise surpassing Pokémon someday. Even if I find it difficult as pokémon is basically a annual franchise with mainline games that sell over 10 million so the advantage keeps on.
