How long do you play a multiplayer shooter before moving on?

Cs I played for 3 years
Ut for 6
Dod for 7

It all depends on the community for me.
Ut and Cs I played with my buds from school. Usually in engineering class when the teacher was away sick. Dod I found a community that was perfect for me. Good sense of humour. Playing for fun. Getting my ass kicked. Lurking around every map trying to find glitches invisible walls... Such fun. Then using those exploits during 'scrims' lol.

I can't really enjoy current fps especially on consoles. Too much bragging and worthless insults. I know I'm playing with grown ups but how many times must I hear how better than me my mother is at call of duty... It's just... Not fun. The games have improved but the community aspect went down hill. Even with my old crew on bf3 I only played for three weeks before getting bored. To me once everyone plays to win at no matter what cost it becomes serious business and I'd rather enjoy myself than be berated because I didn't follow some made up military tactic.

At least in Cs if you fuck around you spend 5 minutes in spectator mode regretting your own foolishness.
 
Played the crap out of Gears 1 MP. Almost exclusively till Gears 2 came out. Gears 2 MP at the start was a travesty, so I played MW2 mostly then and switched between those 2 till Gears 3 came out. Gears 3 lasted me till a few months after BO:2 came out, then played that till Ghosts.

I'll play Ghosts for my fix for now, but would move to something I liked better pretty easily I think. Hoping Titanfall is that game.
 
I bought Ghosts to bide my time until Titanfall, but it's so bad that I really have no desire to play it anymore.

I played Counter-Strike like 5-8 hours a day back in high school.
 
Agreeed. No microstransactions, all vehicles/weapons unlocked from the first second of gameplay, and ranking up only unlocks player/Warhawk/Nemesis skins. Infinite replay ability on merit of gameplay alone.

And some incredible map design, too. The way they scaled to different sizes perfectly. And fantastic DLC.
