Or why does CoD try to be like all the other FPS. Just because it's the most popular doesn't mean it's not the one copying other games.

What make you think every FPS tries to be like CoD? You do know that CoD was birthed by MoH basically, right?

Wasn't CoD more or less a copy of Medal of Honor?

A lot of FPS are very similar, and I don't think that means they are copying each other, or copying just Call of Duty for that matter.

yes thats true but since it IS the most popular people are gonna base it off that rather than vice versa.

Ummm - I don't understand the logic in this argument ...

You don't want a first person shooter like Call of Duty

- You don't want a first person view

- you don't want to shoot stuff ...

There are some FPS' that AREN'T military related ... is that what you want?

I'm confused at the lack of details

- BC2 isn't anything like COD by the way - they both have guns but BC2 is more fun blowing up buildings

Just like back in the day, every fps was a doom clone. Doom made the fps what it is today and now the cod franchise is so popular that everyone wants to emulate it and try and cash in. Same goes with anything really, if it's popular people will try and copy it.

I see your point here. But it is true they just won't cash. And since I hated MW2, im not going to get Battlefeild: Bad Company 2 and or the new Medal of Honor.

well, the cod controls are pretty good for an FPS game, and apparently so many people like it, so of course other FPS's will copy it...

Ever heard of the phrase "Creates a new standard" well this is what MW did... so all others HAVE to try and better that to be considered a success, if a company makes a game and it's not as good then they know somethings wrong so all this copying is nothing new, Battlefield 2 created the modern war front and Call of Duty COPIED it so there you go... not all games are being like Call of Duty... Call of Duty is trying to be like battlefield 2.

I recall the Doom 2 days :P people didn't say FPS back then, they said "like doom" or "doom like" later was "in your face" Reason why alot of FPSs today follow COD foot steps its the money

It's all about the money!

mitu123
money money money :P and honestly its totally understandable, companies need profit. Lucky we still have plenty of FPS that don't follow others footeps and try to make their own path even if at the end of the day you are caring a gun and avoid being shot while you shoot your enemies and keep moving foward.
