Should Call of Duty die?

Putting Mr. Kotick and Activision aside, I believe that Call of Duty should die. But let me explain just in case their may be CoD fanboys here. First of all, Although it was decent, CoD wasn't too good since the BEGINNING. While It did try to change up things, and with Metal of Honor was basically dieing off at this point (Popularity and sales wise), it was still just another one of the many war shooters at that time. Fast forward to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Yes, it was an enjoyable game, it also started to show promise to the CoD series, but to me anyway, the game still wasn't that good. (Now I will talk of other games in no particular order.) Enter WAW or Call of Duty, World at war, which, if you strip away the zombies, is basically a generic war shooter with a passable story and plays and looked just like MW (Modernwarfare). Enter Modern Warfare 2, a completely buggy game that relied way to much on KS (Kill Streaks) and really didn't have much variety (IMO) in its multi-player. It was basically the same freaking game and used the same engine with lots of glitches and bugs. Yet, stripping away what the fans said it had that made it cool, it is yet another generic shooter. While many brought the game just like other titles, I was confused as to why it was popular. At this time, I basically concluded that id Call of Duty was on a box it would sell, but... Enter Black Ops. This made my realization true. It had record sales, and although most fans loved Infinity Wards games over Treyarch's, It seemed obvious to me they were one of the million and millions that brought Black ops. All basically because it said Call of Duty. At this point, the game receives mixed reception from fans. However, the low attention span fanboys seem to out number the people who have realized that this game is basically Modern Warfare 4. It doesn't look very good, plays the same, still has glitches, although some are fixed, short campaign, and just seemed rush. Most fans of the game said it is Activisions fault. However, I believe Treyarch lost motivation for the series for awhile now since Infinity Wards game had been copied twice by them with some things switched up. A game that was also around at the time called simply METAL OF HONOR, seemed to be a much more enjoyable title then Black Ops, yet didn't see much light. Black Ops was so over hyped, that many fanboys are blind, and even with proof of some faults some of them will think "You just don't know a good original game" or something along those lines. Activision has been publishing rehash for many years now, and Guitar Hero appears to be dead right now, but really, I think Call Of Duty should just end. It does nothing new, it's easy and take almost no skill to play, there are cheap deaths, glitches, bugs, not much multiplayer variety, KILLSTREAKS, ETC. It is a generic shooter series that should end and stop making all these idiot fans saying **** like CoD takes more skill and has better gameplay than most other FPS, like Halo. That is BS and really, it is a generic shooter that has been doing the same thing all this time and charging large amounts of money for bull**** downloadable content. Keep in mind this whole post is opinion based. IF TL;DR, just read the text above.

Why would you want to kill off the PS3s best selling franchise?

Also I have never heard of "Metal" of Honor. Is that similar to "Medal" of Honor?

If people keep on buying it enough that they make a good profit, no it shouldn't. It means enough people enjoy it that it should stay.tagyhag

No I like Call of Duty, especially Black Ops 2. It is making some big changes to the series, I think it will end up being something special.

Supply and demand, people demand more COD, Activision gives it. If this is what keeps the fans happy then what's the big problem? If you don't like COD just don't buy the damn games then. Really COD haters are all hypocryites, they all play COD.

They just pretend to hate it on here to try to fit in with the anti-social, bottom of the barrel fringe community that thinks it makes them cool to "hate" the popular stuff.

Yes hopefully it is ruining the industry.People only enjoy because they suck at games COD is the only game they enjoy because they dont get their butts kicked in it since it has an easy learning curve.

Activision should spend their time making fresh new ips.

Its also the 360's best selling franchise ever.. of course you wouldnt know that.

And no dumbass ( the person that wrote the wall of text nagging like an old lady ) millions of people around the world love the franchise so why want it to die? by that logic then pokemon should die, mario should die, halo should die and so on.

i dislike selfish people cuz if you freaking cant handle or want to play CoD then gtfo no one cares let others enjoy...stupidity at its best i tell you.

But you still played it, what do you know. Look at the gamertags of COD haters, you will find they always play and buy COD games.

Hating COD doesn't make you cool, it just makes you look silly. I think Battlefield is one of the most boring games I ever played, but I don't hate it.

Yep. Many people forget that the game was very popular on PC for a long time.

I don't care what some guy on Youtube has to say. There is no legit reason for anyone to hate a video game, that's just stupid and sad. COD has made the industry better, if you don't like COD just don't play COD (even though you secretly do, I saw your gamertag). You need to play more shooters....

Literally only people from the depths of the internet hate on CoD. Everyone I know loves it. It has great production values and fantastic multiplayer. I just don't understand the hate it gets. Sure wish Square could release one decent game every year. I'd honestly rather take small incremental steps every year, rather than huge steps(or no steps) like in most other series.

Personally, I would like to see the series die since I think it has set several bad precedents for gaming as a whole. Unfortunately, millions of people seem to love the series and if that is what they love than I am not one to take it away from them.

If I'm a casual gamer then I'm happy, I wonder what it means to be a hardcore gamer like you then. What's it like? Do you get girls? Do you have a job or to college? Or do you just sit around and play games 40 hours a week and rarely leave the house? If that's what it means to be a "hardcore gamer" then count me out, I'll be casual anyday.

Your sarcasm sucks.

And no one cares about Stalker, it is not too complex, it's just boring. It's also one of the most bug ridden games ever made, COD is the far superior game. You are probably just mad that you suck at COD.

What the hell is metal of honor? I would have just put that down to a typo, but the same error was made later on in the post so I either assume there was a game called metal of honor that I never had the chance to play since I was too busy playing Medal of honour, or the person that posted this garbage is simply a dumbass.

:lol:

Nope.

The only thing wrong with CoD is the fanboys can't accurately describe what makes the game better than other shooters, and the critics can't accurately describe why the game is worse than other shooters.

The discussions of CoD on the internet are some of the stupidest I have ever read.

apart from millions of Stalker fans? COP sold more than 2 millions. you never played. it. only PC gamers play it.

I have Half Life 2 fool. It is a good game, definitely a much better SP than COD or any other shooter out there, it's like 20 hours long. But I still find COD to be the better game, especially in gameplay. COD has good campaigns though too.

Half life 2 has a better campaing (it only has a campaign), but overall COD is the better game. It has better gameplay and it has multiplayer. That video is just an opinion, everyone has one. In my opinion COD is the superior game.

Both are great though. Both are far better than Team Fortress 2, probably the worst FPS this whole gen. It doesn't even have a campaign mode, that's how bad it is.

WTF?? how does it make sense? u said HL2 has much better SP but then saying COD is better game?? and like video sum up there is no way COD gameplay is better than HL unless you have very low standard in FPS genre.SNIPER4321

No it is an opinion. I could probably find some videos that show the opposite if I wanted to. I find COD to be the overall superior game, I'm sorry you can't handle different opinions, I'm sorry it makes your fanboy world collapse, but it is my opinion.

You don't have to like it, I don't expect you to and I don't care. But it is MY opinion and I have every right to it. If other people's opinions offend you then you should go put a helmet on.

The video was just full of some guys opinions, opinions are not facts. But in the fanboy world I guess they are. Don't run for office, it will be scary.
