TF2 has been and always will be a superior FPS.

Same with CS 1.6/Source/GO.

Battlefield is just superior to COD in every way possible. I would have to write an essay to describe how superior it is, something I'm not in the mood to do now.

I'd rather play video games with adults rather than children, potheads, burnouts, racists, and social degenerates.

I don't choose Call of Duty to begin with. Way to generic *Applies hipster shades* I need a bit more style to my shooters, hence the last one i bought being Borderlands 2.

Borderlands 2 is Diablo with guns. It's hard to get more generic than that.

i don't like killstreaks and the gunplay. i can get my fix of shooters and then some (without killstreaks) by playing csgo, bf3, ps2, tf2, killing floor, and arma 2. hell, i can get my entire CoD fix by playing cod4, where killstreaks and perks added an extra dynamic to the scene instead of overriding any sort of competitive, skill-based rivalry in a lobby. cod4 still has like 0 recoil and the poopy melee tho :(

I don't get why people even compare them, CoD is it's own thing, it's for people that just want to brainlessly run around and shoot stuff and you know what, it's pretty fun for what it is.

I like Killzone 3 more because the community is better, the MP is designed is better, the maps are designed better, the weapons and classes are more balanced, and it controls and feels better.

Yet, it still has heaps more style and substance to me than "shoot the foreigner 27", or whatever the flavour of the month military shooter is.

When I do play a fps mp shooter, I normally play TF2, free content, tons of mods, variety, health kits!, colour!, and takes at least a little bit of skill.

Sometimes it's nice to play an fps with no BS that actually takes skill. Or maybe an fps where teams actually play as teams.

I have switched back and defend COD. Indie games are fine, but MW3 was amazing. I had avoided blockbusters for too long and forgotten how awesome a big budget game really can be. Anti-hype can be worse than Hype.

Why play shooters other than twitch based ones for MP? There's little strategy in almost all others and the skill cap regarding game mechanics is usually low.

because there are better shooters out there? (much better I might add) Like tf2, l4d2 (though not sure this is quite the same since you're facing zombies in the multi), and Battlefield has been much better as of late.

I buy shooters for the single player campaign and the multiplayer is just a bonus. The campaigns in COD games generally last ~4 hours, and I just can't justify paying $60 for that. The prices also stay high for way too long on COD games.

Battlefield has superior MP, so I play that instead. I tried playing both but COD plays weird after playing Battlefield then switching over to COD, COD feels like it's playing on 10x speed it's nauseating afterwards. I would keep playing COD for SP but apparently they're not interested in making good SP games anymore so I'm done with the series.

CS GO, Blacklight Retribution, Planetside 2, Natural Selection 2, BF3, Hawken, Tribes Ascend, and Warface. If I want a CoD-like experience, I'll just play Blacklight or Warface. Both play very similar to CoD, but I generally prefer BF3/Planetside 2 style multiplayer FPS games.

Cod is boring. I prefer shooters with vehicles and lots of destruction. The maps are too small in CoD and the gameplay gets boring after a few hours.

This, COD is good for short bursts but not for extended periods of time.

I like shooters focused on the campaign.  The last good CoD campaign was CoD4.

i choose james bond games not only because they started it all but because there is no hand downs you fight for victory you arent handed cheap perks to help and the single player mode in a james bond game is always interesting cod or other war games either follow life like events i got enough of history lessons at school there for i just get bored of war themed shooters james bond storys are more interesting and besides goldeneye was so awsome it got to be told twice

I play other shooters because they are better and more fun. 

Rising Storm may have less content than a CoD game but it's much more unique and the mechanics are just as solid as a CoD game.
