You need to calm down, my friend. You're getting a bit too aggressive than is necessary.

At any rate, CoD being such a massive success is exactly what's wrong with it IMHO - it encourages the developers to rest on their laurels rather than keep pushing the limit with each subsequent release. No one cares if CoD isn't some art house game like Ico - people only wish for something new to be added to the somewhat formulaic gameplay, a reasonable expectation of any game series.

Also, there's no need to bust out sales figures here - this is a thread asking for peoples' personal opinions about a game, not how much the game sells. That's irrelevant to how the individuals in this thread may or may not feel, so there is nothing to prove here.

And one more thing - dick move on bashing Skyrim fans. You're the only person in the thread who's even mentioned Skyrim, so I don't see where you get off taking potshots like that during a discussion that has nothing to do with it. Turn that pointless aggression aside and stay on topic.

It's a military style fps. There's only so much you can do given the parameters of the genre. Obviously if it has gained critical regard along with humongous sales, its doing something right for both critics and regular game buyers. The same lack of innovation could be said (and has) of just about any genre. CoD has found the sweet spot that other developers would give their firstborn for. Game companies exist to make a profIit from a game/franchise and obvoiously they've done their job better than just about anyone.

Innovation for innovation's sake is silly.

If something works, and people are happy with it, there's no need to change it just to change it.

If something doesn't work, by all means try to fix it. If something could really be done better, sure, give it a go. If you are tired of doing something the same way and want to expand your horizons, more power to you.

If you like what you do, and others like it too, there's zero wrong with giving yourself and the people what you all want.

Not only you are trying to lower the values of Call of Duty .. also you're insulting the Democracy which is accepted by the majority of people *calling 911 to arrest you!*

I liked Black Ops. It's the only COD I have played.

Oh boohoo the majority can get over it.

Nobody is asking CoD's developers to redefine the genre. They're just asking for something new to be thrown into the mix.

I know one thing they can do for the next CoD game to freshen it up a bit - how about a campaign mode that isn't a couple of hours long and actually has an engaging storyline? Seriously, it'd be nice to play a campaign that isn't completely and utterly phoned in for a change.

Not that I particularly care either way - I don't like military shooters to begin with. I'll take Half-Life and Halo over that stuff any day.

Rather than making hese kind of demands that "COD developers should do something new! They should improve their game!", we can ask ourselves why they would do such a thing when they sell literally tens of millions of copies by putting out the same thing every year.
If the customer enjoys it, or is such a dumb **** that he buys it again and again when he doesn't enjoy it, they have no reason to change their game. It's not like they need a bigger audience.

The point I'm trying to get across through my incoherent, tired ramble is that:

People, stop
a) saying that COD ruins games. It doesn't. It is the equivalent of the Hollywood blockbuster films, and the industry needs that too. It can't all be artsy or innovative.
b)saying that Treyarch/Infinity Ward needs to change their game or improve it. Because they don't.
c) hating on COD because it's popular.

But that doesn't mean everyone has to like it, and it doesn't mean people should stop criticizing them for it - because they won't.

But why would you criticize them for doing the smart thing to do? They get huge profits with minimal innovation.

If I could sell my **** to people for 60 euros a turd, you bet your damn ass I would be ****ting as much as I can as fast as I can. I wouldn't be worried about the quality of my ****, or about the nutrients that my **** may hold. I would not put a flag on top of my pile of **** to make it look prettier, and I wouldn't dress my pile of **** in nice clothes or teach it to dance. I would dish out that same, boring brown pile of **** out at people. They love it  and I want money.

[Druss99]

No sir, I don't like it.

[Nashiktal]

I have to say though, while I do enjoy the COD franchise I don't really like the fans that I usually find in their forums or over the mic. Not the crowd I enjoy hanging out with.

[KLUME777]

I hate the Treyarch CoD games, but i like the modern warfare series. Though i am dissapointed in the Modern Warfare 3 campaign, but that should be expected since all the talent was fired in the activision debacle shortly after MW2 was released. But the multiplayer is fun.

As much as I dislike the series.  It really doesn't deserve 0s.
0 means its unplayable garbage like superman 64 sheesh.
The trend is pretty terrible at metacritic.  almost everyone gives every game either a full 10 or a 0.
Nothing ever goes in between.
It sure as hell doesn't deserve a 10 either.
But what do you expect from people who are either easily happy or judge everything on graphics or purposely score it low out of spite?

Now that's just silly. Call of Duty isn't some masterpiece, but it is still a decent shooter with fun multiplayer. It deserves at least a 5 or 6, not an extremely low score of 2-3.

[Ravensword]

You know, I recently vowed to never buy another CoD game again, but I just found out that the G36C is featured in MW3. I G36C!

Metacritic professional critic scores are excellent for Modern Warfare 3 and that's what most go for sourcing for reviews. The user reviews are probably between swayed and bombed by CoD or BF fanboys.

If you want to use Metacritic user review scores, than Square's masterpiece Xenogears with a user score of 9.7 just absolutely blows away EVERY offering from Bioware, all Elder Scroll games, the Witcher, Dark Souls, etc..

Elder Scrolls: Oblivion - 7.8 user score
www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-3/the-elder-scrolls-iv-oblivion
Mass Effect 2 - 8.1 user score
http://www.metacriti...3/mass-effect-2
Dragon Age 2 - 4.2 user score
http://www.metacriti...c/dragon-age-ii
Witcher - 8.5 user score
Jade Empire - 8.7
Knights of Old Republic 8.9
Dark souls - 8.9

  Gamers just like any consumer speak with their wallets.

cod gameplay is mediocre at best. i dont like it. but it sure is dressed up in a lot of razzledazzle. i think people will confuse that with the actual game and say that they like it.

[BatmanPWNS]

Can't believe it already sold 9.2 mil on the first day. It's the same crap dammit! How can people buy this stuff anymore.
