Also, both of your accounts were level 1 with barely any posts. Lets go over the facts Both of your accounts talked about that cod hate is bad Both of your accounts said they liked bf3 but said cod was still great Both of your accounts have the world "supah" and "fly" in them Both of your accounts are level 1 with barely any posts. Not fishy at all.

I remember tha hate after MW2 and the the very same that bashed MW2 looking forward to Black Ops. All of a sudden everyone hated the series it seemed. I'm sure that there are people who truly dislike the series but I also believe there are some bandwagon haters. Maybe MW3 will have people who claim to hate the series yet still play it anyway:lol:

I enjoy CoD's multiplayers.. But can't stand their singleplayers, they are painfully outdated and weak.. Usually consisting of Americans and British saving the world from Communists and Arab nationalists.. I don't get how any one can enjoy these especially when the game still throws unlimited brain dead AI enemies at you down narrow hallways where things like doors in most of these games can not be interacted by the said characters.

and name me a game that tried to copy CoD's sucess and formula and are raking it the money like no tomorrow...oh you cant because it doesnt work like that...look at homefront lol they had to can homefront 2 for flopping so bad...if devs what to waste time and try to copy CoD to try and milk of Cod sucess they deserve to fail and go bankrupted... Deus Ex stuck to its roots and its doing great so far with great reviews not every game needs to copy CoD only the talentless devs will try to do that. Nice Try ;)

Who ever said Copying CoD was a good thing? Its the fact that NEW IP's almost NEVER sell as good as what it is trying to be. CoD is established franchise that will make money. But does that make it a good game?

I like Call of Duty, I also like Battlefield so I like to think I'm not too biased.

Personally there are a few high quality games other people like that I don't. For instance, while I love Left 4 Dead 2, I hate the repetition and shortness of the first and think its just a tad overrated, but I'm not going to go on every L4D article down talking the fanbase, the game, the creators and being an insufferable jerk just because others like it and I don't.

People who hate on CoD nowadays tend to be insecure BF fanboys who can't just let the game' quality speak for itself, and it gives the honest and not annoying BF fans a bad name. I mean, I like Burger King much more then McDonaldds, but I don't spend half my life talking about how BF destroys McD and how only little kids like McD or some stupid rhetoric like that.

Hi supah-fly. I didn't expect you to be here today. If I was in charge of the COD franchise I would try to make the game's as new as possibly each time they came out and I wouldn't rehash stuff from the previous game.

Supah_Dupah_FLY

but then the fans will cry....weres my killstreaks were my fast gameplay.. looks at the HARDCORE DMC fans crying over the new cool ddante

The "new cool dante"? we DMC fans are not crying because Dante has changed but because he changed to look like a ridiculous emo character out of the Twilight series. DMC should be changing for the better by improving/mixing up its gameplay not by reducing the frame rate and adding some awful character design.

If the changes weren't awful people wouldn't be complaining. There can be changes for the better, the CoD series seems to be unaware of this. The developers are either lazy or they know of their incompentence so they don't dare make any significant changes to the game because they know they will mess it up even more.

The cod devs can try to please the people who want more freedom and new things in their COD games and they can also please the people who like COD the way it is currently.

I'm sure you've read on this site why CoD is a rehashed, unpolished, unbalanced mediocre game, and you don't need me to tell you again.

But no, *quality* Fps's definitely appeal to me.

The Call of Duty's for me have been going downhill since CoD 2, with the interduction of the health regen system, And all Cod's have been getting worse since the 4th.

thats what they are doing in MW3

I have barely seen anything suggesting that yet. The game still plays and looks the same as the others most of the time still.I have yet to see how open the maps are in any of the maps.I'm also talking about making the singleplayer non-linear and linear at the same time to.
