Ya, as much shit as I give every game after 4, 3 is still the worst entry in the entire franchise.
Modern Warfare 3 is almost as bad, though.
I certainly do miss those "less is more" days, as you call them.
The rumours suggest we are going to see a COD4: 2 to start the next-gen. Things like including leaning, sliding while shooting etc. seem to imply a focus on the core gameplay. Other ideas, like intro's to a multiplayer map, show them adding content that doesn't further dilute the multiplayer experience.
God I hope there is something, I didn't care much for the Spec-Ops missions, but the Spec-Ops survival mode was actually pretty fun, but being 2 players only was a bit of a joke. What ever they put out as a 3rd mode needs to be at least 4 players minimum.

MW2 was a really good sequel in terms of making the series fresh. It was sad that the game was just very poorly balanced. I still regret spending $60 on MW2 2.5 a couple years later.

Oh God.
MW2 was still the most fun I had online this generation. Unlocking new titles and emblems, playing my favorite classic maps again, etc.. I was really into the whole YouTube community back in those days, and that was when it had hit its peak. Quickscoping and trickshots have become close to nonexistent since BO1 because the developers don't know what the fans want. Gonna be real here and say I miss 402 a whole lot.
CoD4/5 come to a close second. The amount of glitches I did and private matches I had with friends will never come close.
nah brah they will use state of the art technology knows as the DOOM ENGINE!
I laughed way to hard to this. I can hear Keith David his voice in my head when reading it.

It's where I got into the series.
Would have clocked many more hours but the rate at which IW responded to game breaking glitches was glacial.
Looking forward to what Respawn will be able to do with the Frostbite engine.

"Never said I wasn't a hypocrite."
This was really funny, but Oscar Mike means "On Mission." As in performing the tasks asked of you. I don't believe Dinner Rolls could do that.

I'll wait for Black Ops 3. As long as Harper is in it.
No it doesn't, it means "On the move".
antitrop was in the military. Trust me, he knows what "Oscar Mike" means which makes it EVEN MORE hilarious!

IW was very quick in patching actual glitches, it was just all of the hacks that ruined the game.
I should also mention that not once in all my years was I ever told to "Stay frosty".
Not once. I wasn't in the Army, though, maybe that's a Hooah thing.
TwoDurans
"Never said I wasn't a hypocrite."
That does make it even funnier. I take back what I said and humbly request your forgiveness.
Also, Stay Frosty!

CoD taking on the paranormal now? o_o
I didn't think this was real, "ghosts" was just such a bad name.
Was hoping for Call of Duty 5. Releasing on next gen systems as well.

In case that boxart artwork is still questionably real, I'm going to confirm it, for whatever it's worth.

I'll never understand why ghost is so popular.
He did next to nothing in the game and not to many people read the comics.
(Unless he's extraordinarily badass in those my point stands)
Was it really just the mask?

Ghost is popular for the same reason that Boba Fett is popular.

Maybe it's a special forces type thing? Lol

I guess I can kinda see that.
At least boba has been fleshed out though.
But then again I guess this game would be them fleshing out the ghosts i suppose.

I know that CoD is all about Hollywood SP & Big MP.
But personally I hope that Ghosts will leave the follow character X down this corridor, kill 100 enemy, engage in this scripted scene, then into an on rail shooting sequence.
I know it is crazy, but I am hoping for a more subtle campaign, where I am actually the lead, where I can choose where to go, a sand-boxish environment won't hurt, more sneaking options would be cool as well, less scripting.
I also hope they bring something new to the MP somehow, something undone before.
well finger crossed.

I think if they really nail the multiplayer it will give some room for them to experiment a bit in the single player. Ease people into a new style of Call of Duty slowly. Give the hardcore fans what they want and try to reinvent the single player campaign the same way 4 did. They had to fight to make that game happen, maybe it's time to fight again.
If anyone at the CoD dev studios has any fight left in them anymore.

BO2 was a MAJOR step up from MW3 which was terrible IMO.
Quoted for truth.
Blops2 did some great things. I still jump in to play a game or 10 daily.
The options, customisation, unlocks, game modes, map variations just cant be found anywhere else. You get a lot of game for your money with cod.
People hate on it but until someone comes up with a better alternative, it's gonna be round a while. A good thing in my book.
Bring it on!

I'd actually say that BO2 is the best game in the series from a single player perspective. The awful Strike Force mode is really the only blemish on it.
Well, this is Call of Duty 10.
I agree fellow GAFfer.
The only thing I liked in MW3 was Support Killstreaks for those less good players. That was a good idea. MW3 had the most uninspired/bland Maps too, in my opinion (never played the DLC ones).

Nowhere near MW2's SP.
I can play the Invasion missions from MW2, any day and still have fun.
"Of Their Own Accord" is probably one of my favorite SP levels of all time.

Absolutely, the feeling of utter loss as the invasion was happening was amazing. Despite the amount of unnecessary player character deaths, the feeling of being alone as the world was against you in the final missions was incredible.
