I never participated in the variant system at all so I don't know

Weapon variants made the game pay to win. You had the default weapons you unlock by leveling up but there were better versions of the weapons that were locked behind the supply drops and you can only get those through them. Those variants had better recoil, more damage, more range etc that made the default weapon obsolete. They started this in Advanced Warfare, then to Infinite Warfare, and took it to WW2.

But I feel like the lootbox system comes more from Activision to make money

Well no shit. They put you in lobbies with people who don't have supply drop weapons to make the buyer feel good about themselves and hope that they would spend more.

What I'm talking about is more of the sterilized luck based gameplay COD took on

CoD's gameplay was never about luck. It was always who had the better reflexes that would do better than someone that doesn't.

It mostly has to do with the maps

Treyarch is responsible for the three lane generic maps COD has now
Gameplay in one area of the map is no different from gameplay in a different area
Power positions and choke points are nonexistent and do you ever notice how there'll be an open area with something in the middle where enemies can come from either side of
It just feels like I'm constantly being shot in the back or only winning because I saw an enemy before he saw me

Nearly 95% of ALL CoD maps going back all the way to CoD 4 are 3-lanes. The reasons why the older maps seemed different is because of all the verticality, power positions, and nooks and crannies which made the maps more unique than the shit we have now.

Popular maps from previous games like Highrise, Backlot, Firing Range, Terminal, and Scrapyard are all 3-lanes but they all had unique ways to get around the maps. Highrise had the underground tunnels, cranes, and helipad. Backlot had multiple alleyways and holes in the fences to crawl under. Firing Range had every building accessible to the player with multiple paths to get around. Terminal had the airplane, the open tarmac, and the library. Scrapyard had a bunch of airplane bodies to run through as well as a bunch of side buildings.

The maps in a game like WW2 for example are literally just the 3-lanes you're talking about. No unique passageways, no flanking routes, no power positions, no verticality, and literally 0 power positions.

BLOPS III was actually the first COD I played since BLOPS II so I may be laying into Treyarch a bit harshly
I got back into it because everybody said it was good but honestly I thought it was trash

The time to kill is practically instant
Guns don't feel any different from each other
The absence of strategy and the meaninglessness of positioning

I don't know what BLOPS IIII (IV) can change about the COD formula at this point
I honestly don't think it's even possible
COD is COD because of the instant gratification low skill level gameplay
If they innovation, fans will complain
If they stay the same, fans will complain
All they can do in lateral changes at this point

After how shitty and awful WW2 was, I'm gonna give this one a shot since Treyarch at least cares about their games.

Treyarch is responsible for the slot machine simulator COD has turned into tbh

The only two meaningful editions they brought were zombies and scorestreaks

Sledgehammer were the ones that introduced weapon variants and supply drops before Blops 3 in Advanced Warfare.

Blops 3 doesnt have weapon variants at all.

The average person only goes through the rigmarole of life because they believe it will eventually lead to sex.

It is literally the only reason people do anything, especially men. On average. There are exceptions, like me. But most of you shitheads are only here for one reason, and it's just a matter of how honest you are about it.

If I told you tomorrow that you could never have sex again (or ever, if you're still a virgin)—wait, actually, let's take it further. If I told you that you'll never be sexually satisfied again, meaning you can't even masturbate, orgasm, or feel any sort of sexual pleasure whatsoever, most of you would probably kill yourselves, or at least consider doing so. Or you would just spiral into sheer dejection or insanity. Tell me I'm wrong.

Verbatim you live in a world where there’s always someone above you to take care of things

You would never last in a reality where the only person that looks out for you is yourself but that’s a reality that many people live everyday

You shouldn’t be talking about something you don’t understand or even have the mind to try and understand

says a person beneath me in every way

Compelling argument

it doesn't shock me how it flew over your head that i'm using your exact same argument

thank you for admitting that your logic is dogshit

Except you’re not

My argument is that many people can’t rely on someone to keep their world as safe and orderly as your’s is

Your’s is literally just ad hominem

"your argument is wrong because you live a safe life"

this is ad hominem too, you silly cunt

My argument is that your logic doesn’t work because people live in a more dangerous world where your solutions don’t work

I just added that you live in a safe world and refuse to even try understanding a different one
