Do You Like the Futuristic COD's?

Advance warfare was pretty bad, Black Ops 3 is a lot better, while still bringing some future aspect into the game, however I do like the older ones a lot better!
 
I've only played Black Ops 2 and Advanced Warfare. I liked the latter far more than the former, Black Ops 2 had some fresh gameplay ideas but the futuristic aspect itself made me sick, it was way over the top with the spider tanks/mechs and endless drones. Advanced Warfare felt a bit less far-fatched with their exoskeleton technology and I thought the overall quality of the Campaign was much higher.

That said, I'll take a modern-day Call of Duty, or even one set in past wars, before another futuristic one. Black Ops 3 had zero interest from me.
 
I just played Black Ops 3 the other day, and I personally am not a fan of the futuristic base it has taken. It just isn't as well done as other futuristic shooter games I've seen, and I'm already pretty critical about those. I don't like the extra machinery, or a bit far reached technology in the COD world.
 
I don't play Call of Duty but I actually want to try the futuristic ones specifically because they are futuristic.
I don't like realistic war games, or World War 2 games or games about fighting terrorists.

I play space Marines. I play games like Halo, Mass Effect and Gears of War. So actually, the futuristic Call of Duty games are the first ones I don't hate on sight and might actually enjoy playing. So it's kind of funny that some people are giving up playing these games, and I want to start because of the futuristic new style.
 
I feel like they are probably the only way that it can depart from it's series trademark in an interesting fashion, but I feel like the universe of Advanced Warfare and Black Ops 2/3 just can't exist in tandem, as there's just too many inconsistencies between them. That being said, my favorite BO campaign is probably the first one, because of it's interesting conspiracy atmosphere and it's eerie subtexts. Really interesting character Mason is, and there were some really cool setpieces as well.
 
Obviously, no one likes them. But Infinity Ward can't do anything about Infinite Warfare being futuristic. They started its development 3 years ago, and 3 years ago no one hated futuristic. Imagine if you start developing a game which at the time would seem really cool, but the more you progress in development, the more the public starts hating the concept of the game.
But you can't just throw away everything and start over. Not an option.
 
I am not overly keen on futuristic Call of Duty's but I will admit I did enjoy Black Ops 3 and I still play that now. Advanced Warfare and Infinite Warfare are two games I feel went over the top with the futuristic theme and I have tried both of those games and never really got on with them so passed on them.

I would be happy seeing boots on the ground come back to Call of Duty.
