Why do people hate the ENTIRE Call of Duty franchise?

Okay so for the past 3-4 years the COD has been the same rehash series with little to no change. I can understand people hating that and not likeing the milkage from the series. However people say they hate the ENTIRE franchise which would mean COD1 and COD2 and COD4 are awful too. Call of Duty 2 for PC and Xbox 360 was a really enjoyable game that was designed well. I don't understand why people hate on COD2 too when that game is fine.

People say that?

Although I'm sure there are people that just dislike COD.

COD is a great franchise. I just hate its fanbase.

Beats me, all i care about is that i love the Call of Duty games and as long as they keep on releasing them i shall keep on supporting them

maybe the haters suck so much playing the games they start hating on them :P.. couldnt care less

COD is a great franchise. I just hate its fanbase.

Because its taking all the money lol.

Oh hello Vanquish you want a million sales? To bad MW3 gets 30 million and its just an expansion pack LOL!

I do like Treyarchs single players though, they are actually fun.

I don't hate CoD. I simply have no interest in it right now. But, who knows? I may become interested in it again someday.

I like them all. They all have great gameplay and interesting set-pieces. Although, the maps in MW3 aren't that great.

I enjoy the Modern Warfare campaigns/spec-ops and Call of Duty 2. :)

I don't like 98% of shooters so it's a safe bet that I don't like the entire CoD franchise.Eponique

I don't I only hate any COD made by Treyarch and hate Mw2 and 3.
I liked MW1, as well as the earlier COD's made by IW.

Because like all nerds do since high school, they hate on what's popular; on the Internet they're more vocal about it.WreckEm711

People on this forum have become so encapsulated by their hate for this franchise, that they dont even remember WHY they hate it. The funny part about it is......they dont just HATE the game......they have convinced themselves that it is the worst game ever made. They are robots.

Whether it sits well with you or not, there is NO game this generation with more replay value than CoD. There is also NO first person shooter with as smothe gameplay/controls as CoD. THAT is what keeps people comming back. Im so tired of the f*cking pretentios nerds on this forum who think they know whats best for everyone, better than they know themselves.

Whats worse are the people who blame CoD for other games copying them. That is THEIR fault and THEIR problem.

No, people just started hating it when it became too popular for them.meetroid8

Haters gonna hate. Some of them don't even know what they are talking about. The early ones were really good. So by default the recent ones should also be good since they are rehashes of 4. :P

Which becomes our problem. I hope you're content with pure action games over and over. We've lost (and are losing) great franchises to CoD's success. Resident Evil is now a pure action shooter. Splinter Cell has taken a more action oriented approach, and Mass Effect basically turned into a shooter with light RPG elements. The upcoming Hitman looks to be going the same route as all the others. Multi-player is now mandatory in mostly every game. The market is flooded with FPSes.

You're going to tell me that no fault for this can be laid at CoD's feet? Sure in the end the companies that copy are to blame, but CoD holds some responsibility here. I don't hate the series, but I do resent it. Success is a good thing for the most part, but when it gets to the point that everyone jumps on the bandwagon at the expense of innovation, originality and creativity, it becomes a problem. And let's be honest here, CoD's gameplay isn't the deepest out there. Point and shoot. Gaming's potential is being overlooked for the $$$, and whether you want to admit it or not, CoD is a driving force behind that.

It's popularity and clout in the gaming industry is disproportionate to its quality. That's why I hate it.

I love Cod 2 still play campaign now and then.

The games did not age well. Even CoD 2 is pretty crappy if you play it today.DragonfireXZ95

The first couple were pretty cool, but in the last 5 years or so they switched focus to MP and made the SP short and crappy.

That is why I do not like COD any more.

So because the industry in general lacks the creativity for innovation, so badly I might add, that they need to resort to "copying" the biggest franchise this gen that DID innovate its genre, and fight its way to the dominant position in their genre, fair and square, it is their fault?

If I beat you at a game of basketball, is it MY fault for being "too good" when I practice every day, or your fault for NOT being good enough, when you dont even play? Dont take this as hostility, but IMO the fact that all of these super duper developers (aka. everyone and their grandmother this gen) even NEEDS to resort to copying this "lowly" franchise that according to everybody is destroying the industry, that speaks alot more on themselves, NOT on Call of Duty developers. ;)

I love CoD 1, 2 and 4.

I liked 1-4 and kind of liked WaW. Everything after that has just been tedious. millerlight89

Because 1 game holding a monopoly over every game in existance isn't really a good for the games industry. D:

CoD is so popular that it's cool to hate it just so you could act different from the massesHarisemo

i tried the mp i did not enjoy it, i more of a counter strike guy.

Didn't know it was a requirement to like the series. Some people just don't like COD or shooters in general. Different interests, world continues to spin.LovePotionNo9

I don't hate the entire Call of Duty franchise, I hate what that franchise has become after CoD 4.

[QUOTE="Harisemo"]CoD is so popular that it's cool to hate it just so you could act different from the massesShadowsDemon

Yeah, that logic is flawed. Anyone who thinks that needs to take a break from the internet and go outside.

Only people who are indifferent towards COD "hate" on the series on the internet. IRL, practically no one is going around constantly talking s**t about a video game franchise. And even if there were a handful of people who did, you wouldn't be seen as acting "different" to the masses.

It's just a video game.
