I'm sick of all the CoD hate. Yes, it bores me as a series, but I'm even more bored with the hate bandwagon. CoD is a decent series which runs beautifully and plays pretty well. It might not be perfect and each one is just derivative of the previous one, but it hardly puts a foot wrong.
People enjoy it. People want to buy it. Let them.
There are people who always eat the same stuff.
And there are people who always buy the same games.
Funny, I thought that some analysts said that CoD is going to vanish in the next time

Not surprising in the least, but it'll be interesting to see how long they can keep milking this series. As has been mentioned earlier, it really looks like they've squeezed every last drop out of this engine. This series needs a facelift.
I don't have a problem with the franchise in fact I am happy that so many people like it and provides something to them. Nor do I see that as immature at all, nor the franchise either.
MW3 is tracking quite a bit behind Black Ops.
Boggles my mind that people still do this. There was a guy maybe late 20s/early 30s in EB the other day asking the clerk when GTAV was coming out. He was probably carrying a device or two that could have told him the answer on the internet in seconds, yet he still went out of his way to go to a store ask some kid behind a counter that probably knows less than some random person off the street.I was at Gamestop to pay off my D3 CE earlier stuck behind someone preordering this along with several sports titles. He had to ask release dates for each and every game. Ugh.
Sadly? GTFO with that shit. You don't like it? Tough Tits. It's a solid francheise that deserves to be around.
Man I wonder if I went into one of those pedo Gust rpg threads and complained that they keep making them how long I would last.
Probably not very long and it should be no diffrent for CoD threads.
Hahaha. Stone cold truth here.
I will probably go PC for BO2. Went 360 for MW3 to play split screen with the family, and it didn't have the same spark.

I do think BLOPs 2 could outsell MW3. I think the Black Ops brand is more popular right now.
CoD really feels like the FPS equivalent to WoW: an untouchable behemoth that squeezes other games out of the genre, whose dominance is unquestionable and looks to stay that way for an undetermined period of time even when it miss-steps (MW3, seemingly).
Also, it's the first futuristic CoD. That's a much better hook than 'the third Modern Warfare game'.I do think BLOPs 2 could outsell MW3. I think the Black Ops brand is more popular right now.
MW3s sales were only down in name only, if people actually read the entire thread.
It was later revealed the 360/PS3 sales were up from BO, but sales of other versions like the Wii were down.
Didn't we just have a thread on how gamers are losing interest in CoD?
This is a pretty good analogy. It also gets the same amount of blind hate that WoW gets also.
People need to stop hating on COD and start hating on all the terrible publishers who devote everything they have to trying to copy them and their success like EA.
Except WoW doesn't get yearly rehashes. There have been expansions over the years but they are just that, expansions.
Comprised of the exact same type of stuff that the prior expansion had. WoW expansions offer the same formula, very similar experiences, but with a a new coat of paint. They're biennial rehashes.
I don't even mean that as a negative, it's a good part of why it's successful. People know what they like and they want more of it.

Damn seriously? Fucking WHY????
I saw the trailer, it looks like garbage ( graphics wise, let's be honest here those textures were disgusting and I'm no graphics whore ) graphics wise. Sure we don't know much about the gameplay but aside from the fact it might not be as linear as previous games, it's probably gonna be more of the same.
I think this is a very sad trend in the gaming industry.
I talked to a few very big call of duty fans who play only that and Fifa, and they said this looked stupid more like Halo. I didn't bother arguing with them because it looks nothing like halo but eh.. they will probably buy it anyway.

no online passes.
People need to stop hating on COD and start hating on all the terrible publishers who devote everything they have to trying to copy them and their success like EA. Did we bash GTA last gen? Or did we bash games like Jak 2 and 3 for shamelessly twisting their games to fit its formula?
Bingo.I didn't buy MW3 but I'll give this a look because they're trying something with a wisp of originality.
You cannot rationalize what you don't like and what they enjoy. It is what it is.
People enjoy CoD and that will not change anytime soon.
What is an expansion but a "new" entry in the series with pretty much all the same mechanics? You do the same shit in Cata you did in Wrath, that you did in BC. There have been refinements but you still do exactly the same things. You get new environments, items, skills, etc.. how is this any different from new maps, weapons, perks, etc..?
It's exactly the same thing.
