I don't understand the appeal, really. I enjoyed CoD 4, but in the end, all you're doing from beginning to end is shooting people. That's fun, of course. But when it's the ENTIRE game...Well, I suppose that's modern gaming for you. I just hope Modern Warfare 2 has a good story, though I expect it to be mediocre. Bioware has certainly proven the importance of a great story with Dragon Age.
One thing I like about Modern Warfare story is that it's not about Aliens or fantasy, it's set in Modern times. I think what it does best is add a very cinematic quality to it's story and does it's set pieces well. But the story does fall flat in many places. Talking about shooting the entire time, you can say the same thing about many genres, RPG's included. I think the mass appeal is it's simplicity. But I am not buying this game however.
