What feature, character, map, mechanic etc…would you consider to be an industry plant : something the devs want you to love so much that they put it every time, everywhere and/or is highly promoted.
My example is Death Perception. Nobody asked for this perk in BO6, mainly because it became useless with the HUD personalization system, but they added it to the game anyway.

Gobblegums, but im cod wise a old head. Everything after their invention went down hill. A modern zombies cod is just shitty asf.
Trip mines on bo3. They were in every map and even had a side Easter egg on soe, but weren’t all that good.
Every single Warzone aspect that was hamfisted in zombies since CW.
Fuck you give me my shield back and screw weapon rarity for example.
Imma have to say it, bowie knife
Honestly, the camo grind.
I get the camo grind for PVP modes because it represents your consistency and skill with a certain weapon during competitive gameplay so it’s rewarding.
But the camo grind for zombies is more like a “Congratulations! You need to touch grass!” Because it’s just pure time spent in game mindlessly mowing down zombies.
Don’t get me wrong it takes dedication to get zombies mastery. Just some times it feels like it’s a cheap trick meant to keep us busy, or make us feel like there’s even a point of playing for more than one match per day or per week.
Devs: “IF WE GIV THEM SHINEY STICKER THEY PLAY FOR MORE HOURS DURRRRR”

As a certified bo3 lover I cannot stand gobble gums or AATs. Gums are literally cheats. Legit can’t even die with some of them. AATs are far too OP. A shieva shouldn’t be able to turn into a wonder waffe you can buy ammo for

Basically every change from BO4 onwards. BO4 started the loadout, cold war added the warzone elements into it and killed all difficulty. The devs want us to love the baby mode theyve made (probably because they need the handholding) yet all its done is push players away faster.
Augments. I hardly ever switch them up and they just became a watered down version of upgrades in CW.
