For many years, a clear debate has been going on among the fans over the new Call of Duty games and the classics that were released more than a decade ago. While some people think nostalgia never fades away, others have got a different opinion. That’s because gaming is subjective. Some people like what others hate, and vice versa.

TheXclusiveAce then mentioned that new COD entries offer smoother control over the characters. This was something that classic installments lacked a lot, many years ago. In relation to that, he said that aim down sight (ADS) sensitivity options have also improved now. In the older titles, players only had one sensitivity option. Plus, the aim and recoil control has also been improved now, according to him.

Another interesting thing due to which new Call of Duty games are better is the addition of cross-play. Yes, it’s quite a debatable topic in itself, but according to the YouTuber, this is something that has enabled him to play the game with people on other platforms.

For him, it’s a nice feature found in recent installments. Especially in terms of enjoying gaming with his friends who are on different consoles. While revealing another point, he said that the option to check the stats for weapons and attachments is also amazing to have now. This wasn’t the case with the offerings from the past.
