I don't understand the desperation that *certain* people have for this series to die.
The fact that 1, UO and 4 are long gone and it's now just a mess of overpowered abilities and poorly constructed maps.

Maybe not, but if players are becoming less satisfied with each yearly entry I'd really hope Activision would step back and realize too frequent installments helped kill two formerly strong franchises of theirs -- although Tony Hawk and GH were asking for more money because of those plastic peripherals.
My roommates are obsessed with Call of Duty. The game is on for at least 4 hours a day, every day. I hate it.
They'll probably buy the next one too, but I hope it starts to die off.
I liked it because there was virtually 0 sniping going on for whatever reason. I must have been sniped no more than 15 times when I played the game for the first couple of months on 360. Whether it was just luck or level design I loved it.

That is far less exciting apparently.Doesn't anybody realize ALL game sales seem to be down right now? More than 4% from what I can tell.
So this could easily be just COD being caught in the larger trend.
No one is forcing them to drive the franchise into the dirt, and people clearly love dirt.No one is forcing you to play it and people clearly enjoy overpowered abilities.

Modern Warfare 3 online blows. That's why. A lot of people I know got so sick of it they went back to Black Ops.
The campaign needs to evolve more than the multiplayer. At this point it's just getting stupid that the player can't open a door for themselves.
I'd love to see some statistics of people who actively hate the series, but never play in a party with friends.

I don't think so? Maybe average per title, but there were three main FFs, 7 and 8 both sold ~10 million-ish, and 9 and Tactics surely did a few million each too. So maybe 30 million all up for the gen (less than Mario Kart Wii alone, times have changed).
I was under the impession GT1 sold 10 mil, GT2 sold 5 mill and the series really took off with 3 on the PS2. So significantly less than FF. Heck even Crash Bandicoot sold those numbers all up.

I actually do wonder about this. I know personally I haven't bought a new copy of a CoD game since MW2 (and MW2 was a xmas present at that) but I would actually be willing to buy a 3DS or Vita version if it was the exact same game, with online, and in the case of the 3DS supported the second analog stick. I think it would make a fun game to play online when I am laying on my bed about to go to sleep.
Point being, I am curious if proper 3DS/Vita versions of the games would actually sell decent amounts.
Because sniping was hard as hell and gimped like a mofo
GT1 sold 10m and GT2 sold 9m. I was just speaking about on average. The brand was certainly bigger then (and still is).
And it was beautiful. I wish more shooters went in Black Ops direction, other than that terrible nuke town map.
It better have the door bell sound effect.I know there are people who will argue to just remove the campaign mode entirely, but I think it definitely should be looked at. I don't know if I was now just noticing it (because previous games have done this), but it just felt like there were more scripted sequences than actual gameplay, and this time it played like a boring shooting gallery -- all in under 6 hours on Normal.
Fuck it, just set the entire campaign inside the AC-130. lol
I don't think anyone really thought it'd be sustainable for much longer.
needs other game genres
FPS games have been popular for a very very very (very) long time now. They aren't going anywhere.Just my personal opinion, but I don't think the FPS Bubble is sustainable for much longer as a whole. It'll come and go just like the character platformer boom. But if you ever keep track of how many FPSes come out in a year, it's freaking insane.
I still don't understand all the hate for CoD. There are plenty of games I don't fancy but I don't root against them like they're a rival sports team.

Imagine there were a group of guys and one day they decided to go sell their shit, and everyone in the world bought it thinking it was the best shit ever and the guys made more money than anyone had ever dreamed. Now imagine everyone else saw this and thought "hey I'm full of shit, why don't I make that kind of money". So then they all started selling their shit and then suddenly everybody is just buying and selling nothing but shit and the world is covered in it.

It's obvious they couldn't keep up the pace, but if you think Call of Duty is even close to enter the danger zone you are way too delusional.
The next 2 Call of Duty will outsell all your favorite games, without any trouble.

look at capcoms comments about call of duty for instance, it's this idea that this level of success has to be chased by making their games more like it. Even square with FF13.How so? Plenty of other games still being made.

I don't want resident evil to be a goddamn shooter first. I want it to be a survival horror game with decent shooting mechanics. Now it's looking like gears of resident duty 6.So... they try to take elements that people enjoy about CoD and put it in their games. How is that a bad thing? Like I said to he other guy, there is still a variety of different shooters.
