Arguments for or against? Post below!

Honestly? Yes.

Now hear me out, I'm not saying all of CoD should be playable, but it's confirmed that Zombies is canon to the storyline, as is Infinite Warfare and Advanced Warfare, which feature beyond metal-gear styled machines and devices to be used by super soldiers fighting for world dominance or world peace.

If we could put a conjecture on it? Anything from Advanced Warfare to Zombies would be a perfect fit. Anything before then? Not appable.

I... Say no. While I can somewhat agree on the advanced warfare and Zombies side of things... That's as far as I can agree. Aside from those the series takes itself *extremely* seriously, to the point of sheer boredom. The campaigns of nearly every game in the series take themselves very seriously. And honestly, we can't exactly give exceptions to just a few parts of a series! It's either all or nothing, and in this case... I gotta say nothing.

I'm agreeing with Kash here. Series appabiliy is an yes or no thing. If we allow elements from Zombies/Infinite Warfare, etc, we'd have to accept apps from all of Call of Duty and honestly? Given what this site is going for, I see that as a very bad idea. The seriousness and the realism of the early series is pretty damning

It is admittedly a problem when a series has both realistic historical war simulators and science fiction war simulators under the same name. However, that is outside the scope of this poll. It would be better to vote no, as the series is mostly a problem, and have a separate discussion for making an exception for a certain game than to vote yes, legalizing all the problematic games, and then leave those games appable until we figure something out.

Also, zombies mode, while vaguely unrealistic, was still grounded somewhat in reality last I checked. Maybe things have changed, but "Reality if some people were zombies" strikes me as a very, very modest attempt to distance oneself from reality. In GTA, cops are all mindless drones looking for an excuse to shoot people to death over petty crimes. Is that really so much more realistic than a virus that makes people really angry, violent ...and unhealthy?

I'm willing to hear out an argument for advanced warfare if that's a serious thing worth pushing to have on the site. But Zombies is probably a lost cause.
