I'm just curious.. I mean, when MW2 and WAW was out people still played and enjoyed COD4 MW.. but do you think it'll be the same even with Black Ops out ? People could just give Black Ops all eyes until further notice and go back to COD4 or something else... Just curious..

It'll still stay popular. Each CoD game has it's fanbase and they'll continue to live on until the companies say so.

To be honest with you, I haven't played COD4 since WAW came out. Usually once I get the most out of the game (both campaign and mulitplayer) I move on. I kind of beat this game to death since it was the only game I was playing (multiplayer)at the time until WAW came out. Besides, I'm kind of a sucker for the older years war games.

C'mon, man. Use the sticky. Making BO threads again and again is obnoxious. This same thread exsisted on the front page last week, and Charter, you are here enough that I KNOW you saw it... I know you're a fan of making polls, and usually you have a good basis for them, but do GameSpot a solid and end this now.

Of course people will still play, it's not like every one of us CoD players is jumping ship permanently and some of us won't ever do it. "World At War" was positively JUMPIN' the days after that game was released. This is simply a waste of bandwidth.

Doing what ? I think you are mistaken if you are going where I think you are.. I was really sitting down thinking about this because I am purchasing COD4 for 5.00... I think you over assumed sir.

Of course. It's just like any other game. Battlefield 2 for PC still has a huge fan-base--even though multiple Battlefield games have been releases since. Just because it's newer doesn't mean it's better. It will receive more publicity for a short while, but then people will look at both MW2 and Black Ops and decide which one suits them better. Personally, I prefer Black Ops. As for my friend: it's pretty much 50/50. Some went back. Some didn't. It's all about personal taste. --Especially since MW2 and Black Ops differ in more ways than just the guns and settings.

Which is true, I know that BFBC2 would stand tall for quite awhile and same for its predecessor as well.

The topic is clearly about COD4. Black Ops being mentioned in a topic doesn't automatically relegate it to the sticky that YC created in the first place.

Thank you for clarifying that. I don't know where this thesis of his came and decided that I was hyping Black ops or something..

Quite a bit of people still play CoD4. It's the best multiplayer game imo.

I still think that WaW is the best of the bunch. MW didn't have the same addictive qualities in my opinion.

Basically, the people that still play Modern warfare liked it better than World At War and Modern Warfare 2. So there'll still be those few people who'll like Modern Warfare better than Black ops.

It may shrink for about 2 months, but it will start to grow again when BO starts getting old...COD4 is also being featured as a Black Friday deal for 10 dollars (Walmart I believe, maybe a different store)...So it'll still also bring in new members also.

im 12 and wut is this?

COD4 is a good game, I think a lot of people gravitated back to it after MW2 online play wreaked of hackers and unbalanced game play. Plus there are elitist players on there regularly, which is a standard in most online games with waning popularity.
