One of the most famous CoD players thinks the series is in the worst state now

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is facing significant challenges, according to prominent YouTubers and competitive players. A dramatic decline in player engagement has been observed, leading some content creators to abandon the game altogether. Industry veterans are openly expressing their concerns.

OpTic Scump, a highly influential Call of Duty player, claims the franchise is in its worst state ever. He attributes this primarily to the premature release of the ranked mode, coupled with a malfunctioning anti-cheat system that has resulted in rampant cheating.

FaZe Swagg, another popular streamer, dramatically switched to Marvel Rivals during a live broadcast after encountering numerous connectivity issues and hackers. His stream even included a live counter showcasing the frequency of cheaters.

Compounding these issues is the significant nerfing of the zombies mode, impacting the acquisition of desirable cosmetic items, and an overwhelming number of cosmetic microtransactions. Critics argue that while monetization options have expanded, substantial improvements to core gameplay are lacking. Considering the franchise's historically massive budgets, this situation, while unsurprising, is deeply worrying. Player patience is finite, and the game appears to be nearing a critical juncture.
