KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.

I bought three of the 120mm fans recently to swap out in my cooler master case and they make a HUGE difference. temperatures are still perfectly fine, but the chassis is now basically inaudible.

Can I also let them vary in speed through the motherboard and the BIOS or SpeedFan or some such way?
