I Understand why Call Of Duty is so popular....

[QUOTE="OB-47"]

[QUOTE="Pug-Nasty"]I'll never understand CoD fans' inability to recognize the very legitimate criticisms levied against the series. They would make good lemmings.Pug-Nasty

I will never understand why so many people put so much hate on the series. Can't you put your energy into something more productive?

So, another one with his fingers in his ears going "lalalalala?"

I am a COD fan, and i understand it's being milked and I've even traded in MW3 for my friends iPhone. But I never understand how people like you spend so much time hating it. Most CoD fans (on GS atleast) dont bang on about how it's the best game ever. We just quietly enjoy it. But the haters spend so much time making hateful threads and post to the game, rating it low on metacritic despite not even having played the games and other stupid arguements. Sure the game has flaws, and it's not the deepest game out. But it's made to be enjoyed by the masses. But if you're so selfish that you don't want a game that everyone can enjoy thats your problem.

That last bit was directed at haters in general not you

It's popular because any moron can succeed at it.

Accessibility != quality

Because a lot of casual gamers think that 60fps is pretty.

Textures? ppft. Lack of awesome lighting? Pfft. Confined maps? Pffft.

*Sarcasm*

This is among many other reasons of course.

I don't spend any more time hating the game than I do replying to any other post on this forum. It's not an activity for me, just making conversation.

I play CoD from time to time. I don't dislike the gameplay or maps or balancing. The only real issues I have with the game are the poor production values especially in regards to the online gameplay... netcode, p2p, etc.

The game is barely functional online, and that is the problem. It isn't made to be enjoyed by the masses, it's marketed to be sold to the masses. There is a difference. People will only buy what they are aware of, and CoD makes more people aware of it than any other game.

I don't ask that people start disliking the game. I ask that they recognize that the game is a laggy pile of crap. I don't think that's too much to ask.

Call of Duty is popular because it is both accessible and polished and has room for more hardcore players as well.

Its easy to get into, but as a lot of freedom in options so you can get in and out of a match and have a blast instantly without needing to wait or work at it, but it still has some depth to it.

Its just incredibly accessible to all types of gamers.

Maybe your internet sucks, since CoD tends to favor people with higher pings.

Don't even try to imply that CoD isn't laggy, it's a well-known fact acknowledged by everyone who has played the games that isn't also an irrational fanboy of the series.

I think you're just whining about what's largely a non issue. Or maybe you're one of those kids that can't accept the level of their own abilities and blames everything on lag.

I play COD on the Wii, and I can't say that I've ever had any problems with Lag outside MW3 when it first launched. And even MW3 was eventually patched to make it play closer to BO. Keep in mind, the Wii has a signifeclty worse online system then the 360 and PS3, and even with that I can't say I've had any real issues with lag while playing COD.

In fact, I've had more problems with lag in games like Brawl. I'm not saying the lag is not there, but its simply not noticeable to me when I play. And outside a few rare cases I've never had problems aiming due to lag. In fact, given the technological limitations of the Wii's hardware and online, the online runs pretty smoothly.

Don't try to pass off your experience and some others as fact. My experience besides the occasional laggy match was just fine. So many people are playing it someones bound to have a crappy match.

Call of Duty, League of Legends, World of Warcraft: What do they have in common? Huge popularity. Why is that? Because of their ACCESIBILITY. They are EASY to play. Any casual can pick up the controller or sit in front of a keyboard and be good at CoD, as opossed to playing Quake or Battlefield that require time to learn. LoL is an extremely dumbed down and easified version of it's inspiration, DotA. And WoW basically moved the MMOs genre from being all about a huge world and player relations and guild politics, to story-driven instances, and PvP ensuing from fights over PvE spots or bosses, to set-up faction PvP and battlegrounds.

Basically, CoD, like other games before it and after it, is popular because it's easy, forgiving, and doesn't require any time to learn how to play. Like those other games, it also casualised it's genre and made every dev out there go after it's crowd.

Because it's fun. I think it got a lot of people hooked with COD4, then World at War, which were both very addictive, good shooters. Yeah Black Ops wasn't the best, nor MW3, but their still decent shooters. I know a lot of people who really aren't into playing video games too much, but went out and got either a xbox, or PS3, just to try out this COD, and to see what all the rave was about. Then they were hooked. I have friends on my friends list who just play COD. They'll be on when I go to work, then still on when I get home. I'm not a big COD player. I prefer BF3, or even the Rainbow 6 series, but I do think COD is a great series. It's sad how some people have learned to manipulate , or cheat in the game. I was playing World at War the other day and this kid took over 50 rounds, turned and looked at me, slowly walked up to me , while I was shooting him, then knifed me! That's what ruins the experience in my book. COD is good, but they do need to reboot the series.
