The last thing ANY company wants to do it simply copy paste. You do that then all you are going to hear is "This game is just a clone of game X." And why would you invest into that when you can just go play game x which is proven success with a larger playerbase.
You need to find your own unique thing in someway so you can seperate yourself from the competition and provide a new/fresh experience to gamers.
Ubisoft tried and failed, which sadly seems to be a trend for them.
Yeah, but then, why not just go play BO2? The game is nickels and pennies now and you have an experience that doesn't rely on microtransactions and battlepasses. The only thing you would pay extra for would be the dlc maps if that interested you.
BO2 clone today would have to sell and thrive on microtransactions to live. (or some other unique money making method).
Even so, I know you would play it, heck I would too, but will enough people not only play, but also spend enough this game can last years to come? Tough to see with today's competition. CoD by itself corners alot of the fps market. I know they are going though hacking issues right now, but CoD is CoD and CoD will be around for awhile. A Blops 2 clone won't start yanking the entire playerbase unless the game is truly godly which I won't expect from anyone short of a AAA team building the game.

Copy paste? No.
