It's like the most basic, slow, predictable boring shooter you could imagine but somehow excites people.
In times when everything is just another TPP open-world/cinematic melee-based copy-paste, it surely can.
I for one am very looking forward for this game, it's been about a decade since I played last CoD, I honestly miss the FPP view, I miss shooting, and proper shooting that is, because after that decade most games still don't get it right, the controls/recoil/bullet spread/guns feel are screwed up most of the time, I miss modern day setting with normal, modern guns. Just give me some MP info and footage and I'm most likely in.
