About CoD - I'm indefferent...

[The Baconer]

It's okay. I would never buy a CoD game but I get to play it whenever I'm hanging out with my cousin. It's fun in spurts, but pretty braindead. It's like the Smash Brothers of FPS's in that regard, it's a fun party game, but I'd never take it seriously as a competitive shooter.

Shooters have never really been my thing. My friends wore me down and got to try what in their words were two of the best shooters ever made. "Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare" and "Battlefield 2 - Bad Company".

If those were two of the best shooters ever they really just aren't my cup of tea.

I enjoyed MW and MW2 - plot-wise, no, you really won't get all that much variety in the single-player campaign of any of the FPS games based on the modern military. I just finished the BF3 single-player campaign, and my opinion of it was that I'd been there & done that already. I usually pick these games up strictly to play with one of my buddies (he's in the military and is rather fond of CoD at least).

I love the original Call of Duty and 2. The series lost me after that for awhile until Modern Warfare 1 & 2. I refuse to by Black Ops and MW3 though.

You strike me as the kind of person who appreciates a good, engaging storyline - so you might be better off playing something like Half-Life 2. It's a damn good shooter, except it also has a good story and excellent gunplay to boot.

I'm going to suggest the Halo series, althought I'm damn sure many will not take me seriously.
I really liked the story. It's far from perfect, but I really liked it.

I like Call of Duty games, except for CoD3 and World at War, they are some of the worst shooter games I've ever played.

Modern Warfare and Modern Warfare 2 all have pretty short single player campaigns and mediocre multiplayer, but they are still fun every once in a while.

I haven't played Modern Warfare 3 yet. My copy is still being shipped but I have a feeling that I'll probably beat the single player in 4 or 5 hours and never bother to play it again.

6 hour campaigns that are always the same as the last game.

Shut up you fool. World at War and COD 2 take more than a whole day to finish. unless you're the noob which plays on easiest difficulty.

I really enjoyed from COD 2, WAW and MW1. MW2 was meh. I don't play multiplayer at all.

The COD games are alright as individual games in isolation, and I used to find them fun. My problem with them is:
a) Activision milking gamers by constantly throwing out more map packs and new games and now this Elite service, encouraging people to pay again and again for the same experience as if its an MMO;
the size of the market swamped by COD and it's clones;
c) the inconsistency of gaming journalism to mark down other franchises for churning out sequels that are more or less the same, but COD gets high scores when it does just that.

Call of Duty 2 PC LANs are the best, followed by strategy game LANs.

1, 2 and 4 had great SP and MP. Very enjoyable. The rest, not so much

Seems like some people are expecting CoD to be artful like Ico or have a complex storyline like Xenogears. It's a fun pick up and play game. Modern Warfare 3 has gotten excellent reviews from gaming sites AND is popular with the masses selling gazillions of copies. That is EVERY developers dream. CoD and the fps genre is helping to keep the this industry afloat. I'm not even a huge fan of CoD but I understand that we need all the sales we can get.

Excluding Nintendo titles, sales of individual titles are down across the board compared to previous generations. If CoD, BF, and other 1st and 3rd person action shooters bombed, do you think Dragon Age II and Oblivion can keep the industry afloat lol?!!! Both titles (DA2 and Oblivion) did barely broke 2 million in sales on consoles. We had rpgs in the 16 and 32 bit jrpg era cracking the 5,6,7,8, and 9 million units sold threshold in an era where there were less games in the market and many instances of game prices reaching 75-90 bucks (remember SF II and Phantasy Star series cartridge prices?!).

So yeah welcome to the CoD world. It's been like this for awhile and while you wish and pray that your beloved Skyrim will do better than a paltry 2 million in sales, the days of rpgs on consoles breaking 5 or 6 million units sold came and went with the apex of jrpgs in America.

If the whole industry had that kind of mentality, we'd still be playing goldeneye clones. 

But this is different. If it ain't broke, why fix it? I'm not saying that we should discourage innovation, but CoD doesn't sell tens of millions of copies a year cause people hate it or think it's repackaged. And to the people that like to blame the marketing, you both severely underestimate people's intelligence and over estimate Activiosion's marketing skills.  But to stay on point, when the fans start complaining, then IW should drastically change the CoD formula, till then I'll just keep enjoying it. 

Why not improve the game? Is it a crime to expect the developers to deliver something better in the next installment? Can we not raise our standards?

They do improve it. But to do a complete over haul would take a lot of time. Look at BF3. They made a whole new engine and it was years between BF2 and BF3. In a market as competative as the FPS market, for CoD to dip out of the race for that long could be crippling.

CoD has the resources to keep shoveling out titles from the old engine and make a new one at the same time.

Despite not being a shooter fan I found the first Call of Duty game quite good. Haven't look at any since.

That said, if a franchise is successful and people like it, I don't see the need to change or even majorally update things.

[RamirezWolfen]

I'd say I'm quite a fan of Call of Duty. I've been playing them ever since the first.

I haven't picked up Black Ops yet due to the price (and not having the money).

And if I was buying either game it would be BF3.
