Beefjack.com<\/a>, Gamers’ Voice Chairman Paul Gibson had this to say about the next Call of Duty title: <\/p>\n“It’ll be very interesting to see when the next Call of Duty comes out because there is a significant number of people who won’t be buying it on the basis of what has happened with Black Ops.”<\/p>\n
Many would agree that the Call of Duty franchise has been on a steady decline since Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare which, alongside Modern Warfare 2, remains the most critically acclaimed release in the series to date, earning a Metacritic score of 94\/100. <\/p>\n
The Xbox 360 version of Black Ops was the least buggy, and holds a Metacritic score of 87\/100 Interestingly, while the PS3 version received numerous complaints, it holds a slightly higher score of 88\/100. Only the PC version fell seriously short of the magical 90\/100 mark, earning a Metacritic score of 81\/100. This makes Black Ops the lowest scoring PC version of Call of Duty yet released.<\/p>\n
Whether or not Activision can make right on the CoD name with the inevitable release of Call of Duty 8 later this year remains to be seen. <\/p>\n
