As I understand it there are 4 series in total?
The WW2 variations.
The Black ops series.
The Modern warfare series
The original one off variants.
So as I understand it WW2 variations are all set in the 1940's. They are the weakest selling right now. With the total sales decreasing each year.
The black ops series is the one that is set in the near future, any point before 2100 but after present day. It has seen it's sales fall into sub 20 million copies since Black ops 2.
The Modern warfare series is current time. This is the best selling series that CoD has.
The one off variants are basically any time period from present to any point in the future as long as it tells an individual story.
The last original one off was infinite warfare in 2016, and it also only sold less than 15 million copies total. This one off variant is pretty much discontinued because of low sales.
Around a year to three back the CoD big wigs figured out that people do not want multiple CoD's in a year so they made a new rule of one studio making one CoD at a time and one CoD game releasing every year.
The 2022 CoD is supposed to Modern Warfare 2. Which means 2023 would be Black Ops 5. 2024 would be the return to their older roots around WW2 or whatever other war they choose to replace it with. Then the cycle repeats.
Set in 2187 CoD infinite warfare is the further into the future the series has ever gone.
As far as I can figure the CoD series seems to do best in the time period range between 40 years back and 40 years forward from whatever year it releases in right now. This time range can at its extremes spread as far as 60 years back and 40 years forward. Going beyond this range results in the game feeling too disconnected from the CoD experience.
In 2022 the correct range for CoD games would be between 1962 - 2062.
So the upcoming WW2 variants would shift to some conflict between 62-82. The Black Ops variants would be likely between 2025 - 2040. ( Apparently they prefer putting Black Ops variants in the near near future now.), and modern warfare would be set in current year. The original one off variants if they ever happen again would be the ones that would be set after 2050's to 2150.
Do I understand the situation correctly?

Of course you can. They are categorized as main series.
Yes Titanfall > CoD which is why they destroyed it as they didn't want a competitor to their cash cow.

no, you're an r-slured zoomer. the ww2 games are AT LEAST split into IW and other teams, and could be further split into old WW2 and the new ones
what? if you're trying to say EA destroyed it because it competed with BF, then ok, but that's the most r-slurred way to communicate it
