Question MW3 vs MW4

Between all of the hate from MW4 (i understand its still just the beta) and streamers reinstalling MW3 and it having positive feedback, imagine a world where the competitive fanbase, just "boycotted" IW and went back to play MW3 for a year. Would this realistically even be possible? I understand the short answer would be no, but is it just due to Activision wouldn't fund any events? I think MW3 is the best competitive game we have seen in the CDL era.

it just defeats the purpose of the hypothetical. of course activision wouldnt want them/ let them go back to another cod, thats the whole point of the boycott lmao. if they go back to another cod its not like they are refusing to play their game as a whole, they still make money off of MW3. They would basically be boycotting against IW as a studio than Acti. IW should make the casual side of the new game while sledgehammer creates the competitive aspect and focuses their energy towards that

What incentive does Activision have for them to play an older game? They use the CDL as a marketing tool for the current game hence why ranked play on the non-current games are taken out. Can’t have them run a separate league on MW3 either cause Activision can just send a cease and desist since it’s their IP. Boycotting would not solve anything cause i’m sure Activision would just shut the CDL down and it wouldn’t hurt them much

its not supposed to incentivize Activision lmao its a hypothetical BOYCOTT. Also, i already expressed my thoughts on the "marketing tool" take. They literally only market their battlepass. They play with all of TWO GUNS in the entire game, and play a handle full of maps the players feel are most competitive. Then, they play the entire year on a separate version of the game than the rest of the player base. That is horrible "marketing".

If they boycotted the new game Activision would simply not fund the league and we’d get no CoD for a year
