I prefer advanced/futuristic as well.
Infinite Warfare is one of my favorite CODs ever actually. Oddly enough it’s the only Call of Duty game that I did not purchase at launch. IW also received a lot of hate from fans back in 2016. Many just did not like it.
I’m sure COD will go to the future again eventually, but it will be at least 2 years I think. So not next year either, there is already rumors that 2022’s COD will be a sequel to 2019’s Modern Warfare. So 2021 will be Vanguard (WW2), 2022 is rumored to be Current time (MW2), maybe 2023 will be Future — fingers crossed.
At least we have Battlefield 2042 to look forward to this year, although it was just delayed about a month https://www.polygon.com/22675462/battlefield-2042-release-date-delayed-beta
Beta should be soon though.
