Seven million copies. Three days. Thatâs not just a launch â thatâs a message.
When Battlefield 6 dropped this month and instantly moved numbers we havenât seen since GTA V or Gears of War 2, it proved something a lot of us old-school FPS fans have been saying for years: the genre didnât die â Call of Duty just lost its way.

đ„ Gamers Wanted Fatigues, Not Mascots
The numbers say it all â players were starving for a military shooter that actually felt like war again. No jetpacks, no rappers as operators, no cartoon crossovers.
At some point COD forgot it was a combat simulator and turned into a cash shop with a killcam. The community didnât need to play as Chucky or Beavis & Butthead. The Ninja Turtles cameo was fun (donât touch my TMNT love đ„), but everything after that started smelling like a marketing meeting, not a mission briefing.
Battlefield 6 brought it back: boots on the ground, squad tactics, gritty visuals, real recoil. No nonsense. Just firefights.

đ§š Players Are Tired of Being Milk Cows
Call of Duty made billions but lost trust. Every season came with 20 new bundles and 2 maps. We asked for balance patches; they gave us store sales.
When EA Dice finally got it right, players didnât hesitate â they bought in. Seven million copies in three days isnât just hype; itâs relief. Itâs gamers saying:
âGive us something real again, and weâll show up.â

đȘ The Shift in Power
This isnât just a sales story â itâs a momentum shift.
Microsoftâs takeover of Activision might have looked like a power move, but COD hasnât shown a real evolution since. The creativity dried up somewhere between endless battle passes and âlimited-time operator bundles.â

Meanwhile, Battlefield 6 doubled down on everything COD abandoned â teamwork, large-scale destruction, grounded realism. It feels like the genreâs balance just snapped back where it belongs.
đź The Gamerhood Take
I hung up my digital dog tags a while ago. COD burned me out with promises it never kept. So, no â I didnât buy Battlefield 6, because I know that foxhole all too well.
But watching this win from the sidelines? Iâm grinning. Because the community finally voted with its wallet.

To everyone still in the fight â enjoy this one. You earned it. Maybe one day the suits at COD HQ will remember what made us fall in love with the franchise in the first place: not the cosmetics, but the combat.
Until then, salute to Battlefield 6. You brought the heat back to the battlefield.
