"cod hating" controversy
Shouldn't there be a section regarding the popular phenomenon of "hating Call of Duty" and accusations that it has "dumbed down" gaming? Virtually every forum and gaming website on the internet has CoD haters and CoD hating posts. I'm not taking sides or anything, but clearly this is a major phenomenon that has been going on for the past 5+ years and has had a major impact on the gaming industry. So should there be a criticism section?--24.171.6.27 (talk) 02:07, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Anything added in that respect needs to be in check with WP:V, that's the primary and arguably most central guideline that applies to all content on Wikipedia. As it applies here, it means that unless notable sources have covered this phenomenon, it shouldn't be mentioned in the article. Eik Corell (talk) 03:03, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
 * That's just other people's opinions. Definitely not worth adding. Cheetah255 (talk) 17:27, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

i think it should mention the CoD vs minecraft/tekkit war that outbreaks in the comments section of famous minecrafters (e.g. the yogscast) 86.173.121.122 (talk) 13:20, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

Call of Duty 9 to be revealed
Hey, can you update the information about the new Call of Duty 9? It was going to be revealed. Will you post it now or wait until the 1st of May, 2012?

Source is from the official page. Thanks ApekillerXD (talk) 14:02, 23 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Information about the reveal is already included in the article Call of Duty 9. -- ferret (talk) 14:13, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

Modify the introduction to the article - remove third person mention
Call Of Duty is stated to be a "first person and third-person shooter", but the latter is completely wrong because no game was released with such perspective, so the mention should be removed.

A third person spin-off (or chapter) was to be developed, but 6 months into production was put on hold/cancelled to let Sledgehammer Studios work alongside Infinity Ward to complete Modern Warfare 3. The demo they said they had, was never shown to the public, so it's just confusing to readers.

Here's a testimonial: Kotaku - whatever happened to cod third person game

Merging Call of Duty Online with Call of Duty.

Protected
I've fully protected the article due to the recent content dispute edit war; please work it out here on the talk page. Dreadstar ☥   22:46, 10 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Editor TJD2 is pushing that an established consensus that World at War is part of the story and continuum of the Black Ops series, is incorrect. In view of his changes continuously requesting that a source prove this, I supplied, a known reliable source. TJD2's argument is one of semantics, that being "the same universe" (Distinct from the original trilogy and the Modern Warfare series) is not the same as being the same series. The game features characters that reappear in Black Ops and are an important part of it's story. I additional supply this RS's to back this further: (References Reznov being the same as from World at War), an interview with Treyarch that directly states it the same Reznov in both games . Black Ops continues characters and plots that began in World at War, making it logical to group the games together. Wikipedia isn't really required to have sources for explaining the exact method used to organize articles into logical groups. The three games are a related universe, and so should be kept together. On principal, I also feel the original version should be retained until the content dispute is concluded. The current protection freezes in place the BOLD move that is being contested. -- ferret (talk) 02:09, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

Does the site say SPECIFICALLY this game is IN the Black Ops series? No it does not. That's like saying since Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X-2 are set in the same world as Final Fantasy VII, that makes them a part of the "FFVII series". It is not an argument of semantics, it is a logical argument. A source that specifically states COD WaW is the first game in the Black Ops series is needed to justify this organization. Ferret, you say "BOLD" as if you are the one who is right. This is very subjective as you have no proof, sources, or evidence to support your claim. They chose to freeze my version because it is the most objective. WaW takes place in World War II; this can be sourced reliably. The fact that WaW was a part of Black Ops JUST because they share a character however is very SUBjective. Thank you Dreadstar for the protection by the way. TJD2 (talk) 03:58, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I think the fact that you believe Dreadstar has endorsed your position simply because he did not choose to revert it prior to protect is a poor way of continuing this discussion. You're taking that as justification that you're right, and throughout this you've been pretty rude in your edit history notes such as "Don't change this without talking to me." This is borderline display of ownership for the article. If it would make you feel better, we can change the word "series" to "universe", because again, you are arguing semantics. The three games are related and as such should be grouped together. Instead of looking for a compromise like changing the word "Series" you very aggressively pursue your own view and go to admins with false accusations that you've been told "Sources aren't needed" (When you HAD been given a source, even if you disagreed with it). -- ferret (talk) 16:00, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

I never said I own the article, you are putting words in MY mouth. "Wikipedia isn't really required to have sources for explaining the exact method used to organize articles into logical groups." You did say sources aren't needed, this is not false. Compromise would not be to change series to universe, as with that it would still be organized as you saw fit. You are very aggressive even on this talk page with me; you act like I am being unreasonable and will only accept changes that are in no way correct. "Don't do this without talking to me" I NEVER said this. I never said the article was mine, I don't even edit COD that often. All I know is I had three angry friends over here point out the stupidity of the issue, and as I'm the one with the WP account I changed it to more objective organization. Read my last response pertaining to Final Fantasy VII. I don't know if you are familiar with the games, but the character ShinRah appears in FFX-2 and later creates the corporation ShinRah in FFVII on a different planet. This does not put them in the same series, it merely shows they set in the same universe. We still don't group by which game is in what universe though. One user commented and suggested grouping the games by developer. Ferret what do you think about that idea?TJD2 (talk) 20:22, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

I agree. That's why I wanted to bring to attention the option of grouping the games by developer. A user had posted that on the template talk page and I thought it might be worthy of discussion here as well. TJD2 (talk) 20:53, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Several things, my protection in no way endorsed either side of this dispute per WP:WRONGVERSION. Two, stop making comments about each other and focus solely on the editorial content of the article.  And three, looking at the lack of progress here, I'd recommend following the next steps in the Dispute resolution process; top pick for this one looks to be WP:3O.  Dreadstar  ☥   20:27, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

We are exploring other options due to the amount of disagreement on the talk page. A third option would be to group by developer, but does anybody else have any ideas on how we could organize the CoD page/template and all reach a consensus?TJD2 (talk) 22:19, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Third party opinion - Hi there, from reading the various points put forward by editors here and on the template talk page, sources given I have come to the conclusion that WaW should be included in the Black Ops series as certain story arcs appear to begin there that are picked up in BO and BO2. Cabe  6403  (Talk•Sign) 12:00, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I have a proposition. I've edited the template to show how it might look should we choose to group the games by developers.  I am trying to come up with a third option as Dreadstar stated (sorry Dreadstar I accidentally called you Dreadwaters on the template revision history for some reason my bad :D).  What does everyone think?TJD2 (talk) 20:50, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry if I wasn't clear enough, but I didn't mean a third option, instead I was referring to a Third Opinion by a neutral uninvolved party; that request was answered by User:Cabe6403 above. Dreadstar ☥   21:08, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

I was under the impression that option provided by editor TMV943, who stated on the template talk that we should group the games by developer, was the third opinion. user:Codename Lisa thought this was a good idea as well, and would be a good compromise for the dispute.TJD2 (talk) 21:27, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I was really only looking at the dispute on this article; if there's consensus found for options here from the template talk page, then that's great! I was just clarifying what I was saying above.  I've added Template talk:Call of Duty series to my watchlist as well. Dreadstar  ☥   22:23, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi. Actually, I thought TMV943's suggestion is worth consideration; so, I considered and eventually rejected it. A later message of me in the template talk page reveals that. Best regards, Codename Lisa (talk) 11:05, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

I'd like to point out that a "third option" isn't required or strictly called for. If third party opinions' express a preference for either the original state with WAW under Black Ops, or the newer state of WAW under World War II, then that can form a consensus as well. If third opinions express a preference for the "third option", that works as well. However, Cabe's opinion cannot be simply negated because there are other options on the table. There are statements from at least five editors preferring that WAW be grouped with Black Ops. There is one editor preferring it be grouped under World War II, who also leans to a third option. There is one editor preferring the third option of grouping games by developer, which does not wholly address as it does not preserve the logical grouping that WAW is part of the Black Ops continuum. I won't speak for Codename Lisa as they have been fairly neutral, initially expressing that it be grouped with Black Ops but also suggesting the third option should be considered.

I don't believe the template should be changing while discussion is on-going. Grouping by developer isn't addressing the real issue and ultimately is a slightly adjusted version of TJD2's position. Even if grouped by Developer, there is still a question of whether the games under Treyarch should be organized with WAW under World War II or Black Ops. The developer organization may provide more information but does not solve the "series" issue.

I'd like to understand why TJD2 is opposed to organizing the template to show the story connection among the the three games, which are clearly of the same continuum and multiple sources are provided showing this. If the objection is to the game being labelled as a direct part of the series, then as I've suggested we can change the wording to indicate it is a particular universe/continuum. Ultimately, my position is that it is most useful for the reader to understand that the three games are related by having them listed together. -- ferret (talk) 00:47, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I've been thinking about it and you're right Ferret; a good compromise would be to change "series" to "arc", "continuum", or "universe", as they share similar characters and story arcs. Let's just do that and put WAW behind Black Ops if thatd be cool with you?TJD2 (talk) 04:09, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
 * That's fine with me. I don't care that it's listed as part of the "series". Only that it's clearly connected to the "Black ops continuum" which is very useful to readers to understand the games are connected and are the same timeline. Another option is to just remove the word "series" entirely with no replacement. I'm not particularly attached to arc, continuum or universe, so whichever you like is fine with me. -- ferret (talk) 04:13, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

Okay. I changed it to "story arc". Glad we could come to a compromise.TJD2 (talk) 04:18, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't really mind about MW and BO, but I don't think that the WWII games (1, 2, 3) constitute a "story arc." For all intents and purposes they're separate games that have no bearing on each other; they just happen to be about the same war.  bibliomaniac 1  5  02:27, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

Don't buy "United Offensive" it's a uofficial mod/hack as well the "Operation Abver", "Operation Market Garden" and "The Secrets of Reich" e.t.c. and it shows on mods menu o_0, and what an such idiot counts this mod as official expasion pack and it's part of Call of Duty series? please remove this and the expsansion packs section.

 * You're talking nonsense. Activision has worked with several developers to produce franchise games. To the best of my knowledge this was what they did here, and the developer - Grey Matter Studios, were later merged with Treyarch. Point is it's not "unofficial". Eik Corell (talk) 10:10, 23 November 2012 (UTC)
 * But actually it looks like in that way: it shows on mods menu and there's no flame death animations instead the character will repeatedly pain and die in normal way and not being burned like they do in World at War games. 109.174.115.255 (talk) 10:19, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * That's simply the way it was done back then, in that engine. UO is an official expansion. -- ferret (talk) 04:08, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
 * No! The official COD games are Call of Duty 1, Call of Duty 2, Call of Duty 3, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Call of Duty: World at War, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Call of Duty: Black Ops, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 and spinoffs Call of Duty: Finest Hour, Call of Duty 2: The Big Red One and Call of Duty 3: The Roads to Victory. all other games like "Operation Market Garden", "United Offensive", "Operation Abver", "The Secrets of Reich", "Holy War", "The Feat of Soldier" etc. are unofficial, buggy, showed in mods menu and received negative reviews just like many unofficial addons. 109.174.115.255 (talk) 16:16, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but you're simply wrong. United Offensive is an official expansion pack for Call of Duty 1. Whether or not it is buggy is irrelevant. Whether it got negative reviews is irrelevant. (It didn't, it has an 87 on Metacritic with an 8.5 from users) -- ferret (talk) 17:22, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
 * No! United Offensive is an unofficial expansion pack for Call of Duty 1, It's buggy (i remember bug when you get in jeep on Bastogne 1 level, the error message pop ups that says CoDSP.exe has stopped working), shows on mods menu and does not show on Windows Vista/7 Game Explorer (Windows Vista/7 don't like unofficial mods uh) and there's no flame death animations, instead the character will repeatedly pain and die in normal way and not being burned like they do in World at War games. Call of Duty don't have official expansion packs at all! Plus the mp vehicles are only on Call of Duty 3 and Call of Duty: World at War (although the modders are used to add mp vehicles in Call of Duty 1 and Call of Duty 2), the sprint was first implemented only on Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (although the modders are used to add sprint in Call of Duty 1 and Call of Duty 2), the flamethrowers are only on Call of Duty: World at War and Call of Duty: Black Ops (although the modders are used to add flametrowers in Call of Duty 1 and Call of Duty 2). What the heck they count it as official and the part of Call of Duty series even through it's acts like that? 109.174.115.63 (talk) 15:29, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Either find a reliable source to back up your claim that Activision's Call of Duty, United Offensive' is 'unofficial' or, frankly, go away. Your original research is meaningless here, as is anyone else's Dbrodbeck (talk) 15:44, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Your argument flawed - What you're doing is throwing red herrings at us. Arguing about death animations or bugs in the game does not support your argument that it's unofficial. Eik Corell (talk) 13:27, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

Link between Call of Duty and violent mass murders
I strongly feel that there should be some mention of the negative impact that Call of Duty has received in the media as it has been cited as a game played extensively by at least two mass murderers and is regularly cited as being the most violent game ever invented.

They are:

Adam Lanza Dec 14, 2012, killed twenty children and six adults

"The Connecticut school massacre gunman Adam Lanza spent hours playing violent video games such as Call Of Duty in a windowless bunker".

Anders Behring Breivik July 22, 2011, killed 69 people, mostly teenagers

"Anders Breivik 'trained' for shooting attacks by playing Call of Duty"

Dbrodbeck (talk) 09:15, 26 December 2012 (UTC) I feel it's odd that previously the page didn't mention the word violent or violence even once! I've therefore edited it to talk more about the violence while still mentioning the most extreme cases as examples. I'm citing 7 different sources and there's plenty more out there, so I feel this is obviously a common concern of parents. If you disagree, perhaps you can suggest a new way of putting this on the talk page. (I know you're a big fan of Call of Duty, as you've previously defended it here too). Here's what I've said currently:

Connection between Call of Duty and Violence

Call of Duty has regularly been cited as an extremely violent video game, for example PC Magazine voted Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 as the most violent video game ever in 2012.

It has also been repeatedly cited in the press in association with violent incidences, the most alarming of which are two mass murders and a suicide. These are:

Adam Lanza Dec 14, 2012, killed twenty children and six adults

"The Connecticut school massacre gunman Adam Lanza spent hours playing violent video games such as Call Of Duty in a windowless bunker".

Anders Behring Breivik July 22, 2011, killed 69 people, mostly teenagers

Add Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 already.
We all know what will come after the next MW, we might as well add Black Ops III to the list aswell XD. Someone should really start adding the MW4 template already!

It's Call of Duty: Ghosts
Forget about what i said about MW! It will be named Call of Duty: Ghosts instead. It probably may be something different; likely a continuation of MW, but in a new story arc. But its probably wise to not add any new article, or page until May when Infinity Ward and Activision offically annnounce the game. --Expertseeker90 (talk) 09:48, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

Just to change the title of the article from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call_of_Duty to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call_of_Duty_(Series) since the article is talking about the series as a whole like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battlefield_(series) for instance. Would help with confusion.

So change:


 * title    = Call of Duty

To


 * title    = Call of Duty Series

Sortable tables in video game series
, For reference, see recent discussions at Talk:Souls (series), Talk:Banjo-Kazooie (series) and Talk:Valkyria. Relevant participants of those discussions, both for and against, pinged.

I don't think this table provides a meaningful set of information to the readers. It's a large chunky table that lists the release years and games, which was already represented in a concise timeline. It additionally lists their systems and developers. In the case of systems, this is currently organized differently than I've seen at any other article, so it's not quite consistent (Typically each system has a dedicated column). WP:MOSTABLE seems partially opposed to a table like this, and they have been mentioned negatively in a couple of GANs and FACs.

Perhaps, since this discussion has occurred several times of late, it's best to just head to WT:VG, but I'm starting here at this article. -- ferret (talk) 14:31, 4 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia has always been a place to find relevant information about a topic in a concise and exhaustive format.
 * Sortable tables are the best way to give a good overview on a given topic of serial character.
 * Those small timelines often miss important information that are difficult to compare otherwise.
 * In the present case, Call of Duty is a long series spanning over several systems and by alternating developers.
 * I think this table contains the most important info people are looking up.
 * ferret, in your example of Souls (series), it contains only FOUR titles, why a sortable table might not be relevant in that case.
 * When citing MOS:Tables, you should not spare out the first part (Manual_of_Style/Tables where Tables are actually encouraged. -- in this context see Multi-column mixed sortable unsortable - Filmographies, which shows the parallels to video game series.
 * The format - e.g., console generations - can be modified (e.g., by brands Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft etc.).
 * However, the discussions show that opinions diverge on this issue - there is neither a clear pro nor contra.
 * Of course, both a clear overview AND prose are often required to give the reader the best insight. Hippo99 (talk) 15:38, 4 February 2016 (UTC)


 * A navbox could handle the basic task of listing them in chronological order (one already exists). The rest of the info belongs in prose in the article (this info exists as well), so my personal opinion is that these sort of tables should be removed. ~ Dissident93  (talk) 22:59, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

Call of Duty: Blood Lines
This referenced material may be merged into this article. ~Kvng (talk) 18:41, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

Warfare games
On the article, only the 'Modern Warfare' titles are grouped together, even though each of the games have a similar style and the obvious similarities with the titles. Given the fact that the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Remastered Edition is coming out with the new title (Infinite Warfare), isn't it about time that each of the Warfare games be grouped together? The argument is made that only COD4 through Modern Warfare 3 have the same characters. With that being the case, the Warfare games should be the section, while the Modern Warfare story arc, should be a divided sub-section within that sub-series of games. The titles are similar for a reason. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Burningblue52 (talk • contribs) 22:34, 2 May 2016‎ (UTC)
 * We need something that groups these games together beyond just the inclusion of the word "Warfare" in the subtitle. Are they the same universe? Has Activision ever commented on it? Without that, they're separate entities and grouping them together is clunky. As for similar style, that really applies to every game... that's why they're all Call of Duty. Prove they are part of the same sub-series with a source. That's why World at War is grouped with Black Ops, because there are sources showing that Black Ops was repeatedly referred to as a sequel (As well as the shared characters and flash backs). -- ferret (talk) 22:48, 2 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Many times within a certain series, or within this sub-series for example -- there is what is called anthology installments. Examples of this would be within the Cloverfield films, the True Detective and American Horror Story TV series. I will find out if there are sources saying so.

This article should probably mention that the first Call Of Duty started due to the success of Medal of Honor and sought to add realism and more realistic sounds especially for the weapons. Both medal of Honor and Call of Duty were made possible due to ID Games licensing the Quake III Arena engine. ID Games who created the success of the First person Shooter through Wolfenstein 3D and the original Doom therefore enabled two of the most successful FPS games of all time, the free Enemy Territory and the Call of Duty franchise to happen among others.

move the entire Call of Duty: World at War section from Black Ops story arc to Other story arcs. The only relation World at War has with Blackops is the developer, there is no story relation.

Other story arcs Call of Duty: World at War Main article: Call of Duty: World at War Call of Duty: World at War, developed by Treyarch, is the fifth installment of the main series. It returns to the World War II setting of earlier titles.[19] It is set in the Pacific theater and Eastern front of World War II. The game uses the same proprietary game engine as Call of Duty 4 and was released for the PC, PS3, Wii, Xbox 360 consoles and the Nintendo DS handheld in North America on November 11, 2008, and November 14, 2008 in Europe. As of June 2009, Call of Duty: World at War has sold over 11 million copies.[20]

On Aggregate review scores under Main series is there no reluctance in adding a new row for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, even though the Metacritic scores are not released? This happened previously with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered. Also on the introductory table please put Raven Software under Primary Developer(s) for 2020-present. 92.237.9.174 (talk) 18:24, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: There's no reception for Cold War yet. Considering the issues surrounding the game, Sledgehammer's removal from development, and Treyarch being brought in to take primary lead, I'm not sure we should add Raven to Primary Developers yet. -- ferret (talk) 21:04, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

The page is locked for some reason I can't add this so if someone else could. COD 1 & 2 (The Finest Hour and The Big Red One respectively) were PS2 games and PS2 isnt' listed for those first two.

The information regarding the social media followings of Professional Call of Duty players does not have a proper source. It points to an article about PewDiePie, not a Call of Duty player. There appears for no exact basis for the information based on the source so it feels inappropriate to claim. 2601:1C0:6702:D3B0:DDE1:1FB5:F551:D512 (talk) 05:56, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

Error
It says on the first part of "Main Series" section, under the ratings column, that the original Call of Duty game in 2003 was on the PS3. This is a typo that should say PS2, not PS3, because the PS3 was not released until 2006, so the original Call of Duty from 2003 was only released on the PS2 (which it doesnt even say, therefore leads me to believe its a typo or else they would include both consoles like later games that were available on both PS2 and PS3). 72.69.48.91 (talk) 04:18, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
 * It's not wrong. It was not released on PS2 or Xbox, but as a "Classic Title" on PS3 and Xbox 360 years later. -- ferret (talk) 10:34, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

Separate article for Warzone Mobile?
I've always been wondering why Warzone Mobile doesn't have its own separate article. Not enough traction due to the "Limited Release" phase, most likely? MikeTimesONE 12:14, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

Revert
@Soetermans, can you please elaborate why my edit was reverted? I removed the links because the specific games were already link. Did you reverted it because of WP:MOST? If so i will revert your edit and re add the italics (WP:MOST is one of the few MOS subpages I haven't read for a while and forgotten, sorry). Sangsangaplaz (talk) 15:28, 26 November 2023 (UTC)


 * The specific games originally linked in the lead were already linked at the Main series section. Sangsangaplaz (talk) 15:28, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
 * And also why is it hard to AGF (assume good faith)? Sangsangaplaz (talk) 15:37, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Both the links in the lede (first appearance of the titles) and the italics are appropriate and should have been maintained, so the revert is valid. I see also a small bit of prose was reverted as well, and that is also valid as SVG is an unreliable source per WP:VG/S. However, really needs to do better about explaining their reverts. -- ferret (talk) 16:24, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Like I said in my original revert, it's hard to assume good faith here. Why are you remove italics throughout? Why are you removing links? Please stop pushing your revision and talk. soetermans . ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 16:27, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Always assume AGF mate. A sign of an AGF edit is a proper summary like the one I provided. You didn't provide a proper summary so I got confused. Also you warmed me in my talk page a bit too late (not that it's relevant anyway). Sangsangaplaz (talk) 13:13, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
 * So the double links are acceptable, never knew that. Manual of Style/Linking doesn't do a lot of explaining (or I am just not seeing anything). Sangsangaplaz (talk) 13:16, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
 * OVERLINK is mostly concerned with repeatedly linking the same things over and over. But "first occurrence" plus a main article link in the specific section is typically ok. Now, if you had the main article hatnote in the section and then *immediately afterwards* linked the game, that would be overdoing it. -- ferret (talk) 19:42, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the advice. :) Sangsangaplaz (talk) 12:51, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

Could somebody please bring back the aggregate review table?
I am new here and don't know how to edit Wikipedia really or even if I am allowed to. Until a few months ago, there used to be a table of aggregate reviews and it seems like NegativeMP1 removed it because they did not think it was useful. However, it is something I and a few of my friends have found it very helpful to decide if a certain game in the history is good or not. We are all beginners and extremely casual gamers. So while the table may not be useful for experts, it helps people like me. Perhaps it can be moved to the bottom in a collapsible section as a compromise? Is it possible to bring it back? Deepengarg (talk) 16:37, 22 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi, I went ahead and restored the aggregate reviews box for now, and the only reason I initially removed it was because it didn't look very good in the article on desktop. Maybe some day in the future I or someone else will reorganize the article, who knows, but for now it's back. Negative  MP1  18:59, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
 * @NegativeMP1 It's ugly that we have two tables but I'd argue the reviews template is the more common one on franchise articles, since it speaks to reception. But I suspect if you try to remove the other table someone might complain. Perhaps add a new column to the big table and add the Metacritics there? Then you could remove the review template. -- ferret (talk) 19:23, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
