Reviving the Glory: Players Urge Call of Duty to Bring Back ‘Play of the Game’ Highlights and Improve End-of-Game Replays

One player on Reddit suggested that Call of Duty’s Play of the Game feature is brought back and that the current replay system be improved. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II’s release has sparked much debate, including issues with Shipment and whether cheaters will ever be banned entirely from the game.

Recently, a player on social media brought up another feature that ought to be updated in upcoming games: end-of-game replays. On Reddit, a Call of Duty gamer suggested that the franchise bring back “Play of the Game” highlights.

Players of Call of Duty remember the Play of the Game feature

One user on the Modern Warfare II subreddit made a nostalgic post on the forum, saying, “I miss ‘Play of the Game’ highlights.” According to the person who posts as u/Tyranoreese on Reddit, the final kill cam for the winning team is “underwhelming 99% of the time.” The response to the post needed to be more consistent regarding whether the feature ought to come back in the future. One player agreed while criticizing Activision, saying, “Play of the game was terrific. Because of business policy, they had to remove it even though it was a nice feature.

Others did not recall fondly prior “Play of the Game” high points. Many people emphasized that the feature frequently needed to be fixed when it was present. In Black Ops: Cold War, it would “either last too long or just prioritize some random throwing knife kill,” according to one player, while excellent takedowns would be overlooked in favor of a “random double kill.”

Another player submitted a comparable comment regarding the end-of-game replay and what the development team should do if it returns the Play of the Game feature. According to players, the PoTG should acknowledge players with multiple kills rather than only one at a random time. Just one day before this debate, several Call of Duty players expressed grave concern with the creators’ choice to cause cheaters to experience “hallucinations.” Players of the game began to wonder why the developers didn’t ban exploiters after this step.
