Doesn't WZ2 basically get most of the content in MW2 and future cod titles?

Over 3 months after the World Cup and they’re still pushing these football bundles.

Is anyone actually having fun in multiplayer?
Besides DMZ which I’m not allowed to speak on in here and the camo system and grind, I haven’t been having fun like I used to in previous titles. Historically I’d hop on cod after work or school to unwind and relax. Now it seems like I need to be a cod pro league player to even be decent in multiplayer, something I don’t have the time, energy, or sanity to become. Just want to hear your guys thoughts and how you approach playing multiplayer.

The AUDACITY to call museum a new map
This type bullshit should honestly be considered criminal behaviour. I remember someone made a meme a couple weeks ago with museum being the new map for S2, and IW actually DID IT.
Not giving a shit is bad enough, but which f*cking dumb executives thought releasing a map that they had to remove from the game because of THEIR copyright fk up as a “new” map is a good decision?
It honestly would have been better just to call it 1 “new” map dome, and announce the return of museum in a simple patch notes right after. At least then it’s just shit content.

CoD Needs Competition
TLDR: For CoD to care about 6v6 it needs meaningful competition in the 6v6 space which will drive players and money away from CoD/Warzone.
Call of Duty has been the top fps franchise for a very long time. The traditional 6v6 mode hasn't had meaningful competition in years. This is one of the main reasons the game is the way it is. They have no need to be better as consumers will buy the game even when the offered content is in short supply. This was clear seen this past holiday season as MWII is breaking sales records.
Why is Warzone such a big focus? In 2017 PubG released and started to gain major attention catapulting the battle royale genre into the mainstream. So much so that many developers switched focus to the genre such as Epic with Fortnite Battle Royale and Respawn with Apex Legends. Activison wanted in on the action so Black Ops 4 had Blackout which lead to Warzone. Warzone has more players than 6v6 and makes more money, so Warzone gets the focus.
So what needs to happen for CoD to really care about 6v6? Competition, which will take players away from Warzone and 6v6 resulting in loss of revenue.
Hopefully another 6v6 modern setting arcade shooter will come and gain enough popularity to hurt CoD's bottom line.
Other arguments:
Why not just stop playing and purchasing 6v6? That is a valid option and can help but it can also result in Activision seeing it as we aren't interested in 6v6 and they could drop it entirely (not likely though) and that is not what we want.

If you own any of these you have 0 right to complain about the state of the game.

Are Steam Charts accurate? -60% in average players and -80% in all time player peak after 5 months on a free game on Steam (meaning F2P WZ players get counted, not only people who paid for the game). Isn't this concerning, or is it overreacting for thinking Steam Charts are accurate?

There is not a single map released in 2022 MW2 that I look forward to playing. Devs need back any of these OG maps from 13 years ago.

Are the COD devs underestimating just how many folk purchase a COD specifically for the traditional 6v6 experience? And are they purposefully trying to kill it?
Even if they play other modes, for example, I have had a blast on Zombies many times, nevertheless, since 2007 I have purchased every single COD and specifically, SPECIFICALLY for the traditional 6v6 experience (or Assault/Blitz in Vanguard which was 8v8/10v10 or something but basically the same thing).
It's hard for me to accept that they are NOT purposefully trying to kill the traditional 6v6 experience since the neglect is outlandish this year, if there is any other explanation I am very interested to hear.
Cheers.
​
EDIT: I think I may not have been clear sorry, when I say modes I mean;
Traditional 6v6 on decent, normal sized maps
Warzone
DMZ
Zombies
Spec Ops? (I think it's called? Never played it)
Hopefully I made this a little more clear.

The hype is dead
This game had so much potential & could be so good but it’s now obvious all parties involved simply do not care enough or even want to make that happen. We’re 4 months in & we only have 4 dlc maps, 3 of which are remakes of maps we’ve already been playing in recent CoDs & the other is a map from the goddamn beta.
The game’s losing players & their interest fast & Activision & IW aren’t doing anything to change that. Now we have news that the game might not have a 2 year life span & nobody gives a fuck. Why should they when this is what they put out & charge $70 for (btw where the hell is that extra $10 going?). I genuinely wanted to give Infinity award the benefit of the doubt because I loved MW2019, but this is pathetic. 3 years & you give us the most underwhelming post launch support for classic mp ever.
After Vanguard & now this game, I don’t see anyone wanting to part way with their money at the end of the year.

The current state of multiplayer is a concoction of incompetence, ego, and greed.
Infinity Ward's incompetence makes them prone to bad design decisions.
Their ego makes them double down on those decisions because they can't allow themselves to be wrong. If push comes to shove, they'd rather go down with the ship than admit they screwed up and fix the holes they put there to begin with.
Greed comes primarily from Activision. They see multiplayer as a quick $70 cash grab that becomes an afterthought for Warzone.
Mix those three and you've successfully created Call of Duty 2.0.
