Will the CoD Series Get Better?

Hey guys, Do you think the Call of Duty series will get better or worse over time? (Since its the same thing we routinly see with minor changes) Which one is better?

Well to me it goes from Best-worst in this order (of the ones I've played which is fourth and on): COD4,Black Ops,MW2,WAW. Although I think at this point it's going to get worse if they don't change it up.

Same thing with minor difference? Name me 5 similar things with Black Ops and Modern Warfare 2. And it's a wait and see with what the new studios can do.

Seeing as a new one is dropped nearly every six months; I'd say worse. A few new bells and whistles for 60+ hard eanred dollars over the 15 dollar DLC price point that could be applied for the same content. Activision is just spamming it up.

6 months is overexaggerating. Let's not forget that A CoD sequel comes out every 2 years, as oppose to Assassin's Creed which is following the trend of a direct sequel anually.

Worse

Activision is rushing MW3, and they are running out of ideas.

I doubt much will change especially the multiplayer

Well, opinions ARE opinions ;) I'll respect that. To clarify the release dates, CoD 4 = 2007, WaW = 2008. If CoD was anything like Guitar Hero or Tony Hawk they wouldn't be the most played multiplayer games, and they would of been axed two days ago.

At this rate, I think it will just be Treyarch and Infinity Ward/Sledgehammer/Raven trying to out explosion and out plot twist each other with their single-players, and each trying to spice up their online section with unnecessary perks, killstreaks and whatever they think of next that lead to more unbalancing.

Unless, of course, one of them actually sees some sense, and decides to make a good and coherent game that is balanced and not just "hurr durr sprint stab shoot! ZOMG EXPLOSIONY PLOT TWIST shoot stab".

The games itselfis not the only thing thats moving fast, I feel like the gameplay is becoming more faster. I dont remember seeing anyonegetting 100kills on MW2, its like Kill then die everytime unless you camp.

I dont think its bad now. It is what it is and I personally love it. I know a lot of people hate it because its cool to hate it, and a fair amount hate it because they genuinely dont like it, but I love the direction Call Of Duty is going in. I love the single-player, its long enough for me not to get tired of the AI and the linearity of the game, but short enough that I want to play through it and enjoy the story and action-packed set pieces before jumping into the multiplayer.

The multiplayer provides a place where I can have fun. I can be stealthy, I can be tactical, I can run out guns-a-blazin. I can play however I want. I can have the weapons I want and use them how I want. The choice in Call Of Duty's multiplayer is something I really like and it just gets deeper with every entry. It never feels stale to me. I know for some people it does, and thats ok. That is their opinion.

I love that a game comes out every year, because Im not sitting here twiddling my thumbs like I do for games like Halo or Resident Evil (and I mean numbered sequels here). The wait kills the hype on a lot of games for me. Sometimes I dont want to save money that long or think I'll have it by then and dont. Call of Duty comes out every year. And I always know I will need money to buy it in the fall. Its like Madden, a lot of people dont like it, but enough people love it that it sells well and has a large fan base. People that dont like it can say they hate it all they want, and dont have to play it, but it will still come out the next year, for the fans. If you arent a Call of Duty fan, there is no need to bash it. Just dont buy it.

A lot of the hate for Call of Duty IMO stems from the community and the fact that people are starting to label them as a "casual gamer" or even more recently the "bro gamer". People that devote their days and nights to Call of Duty and claim to be MLG are labeled as "casual" and give the community a bad name. But in reality, wouldnt they be the ones labeled hardcore? Giving up countless days and nights, making videos for Youtube, buying every game that comes out, etc. That seems more hardcore than I have ever been with a game. Then again hardcore and casual are subjective terms. And when used in context of Call of Duty more often reference to little kids and teenagers, or people that run their mouths in game lobbies and have X's surrounding their name.

Sorry for that, but this is how I feel about how the Call of Duty series is, and how its good now, how it is.

But yes I believe it will get better for the most part. This whole new "universe" they are inventing for Call of Duty that Activision recently started talking about worries me though. It sounds like Halo Waypoint, but for Call of Duty, and with a subscription, but it will obviously offer more than Waypoint if it has a price-tag. I just dont see myself ever using it if that is what it ends up being.

The games will get better without a doubt. Madden games improved, Tony Hawk games always got better (until Project 8 really, but what killed it was Ride), so did GH(Warriors of Rock is what really finished it off in my eyes). I think Call of Duty has at least two years before they end up like the last two mentioned games.

/shorter but more relevant rant

Before black ops was released i would say worse, since cod4 was good/decent, w@w wasn't, mw2 was garbage, then black ops comes out and it's better than mw2.. so maybe it's on the rise lol who a i kidding, cod is going down.. if there is pay to play online which i kind of hope there is, bye bye cod..
