Why so much hate towards Call of Duty??

One thing i'v noticed on SW lately is that there is so much hate towards Call of duty games especially modern warfare 2. how come? ok yea MW2 might get annoying sometimes with noob tubers but its not that bad, campers are no big deal tbh and killstreaks like chopper gunner or AC130 also easy if you have a back up class with cold blooded on. anwyays why so much hate? personally i enjoy call of duty more than any other FPS game out there. looks like from most polls here that nobdoy going to get black ops even tho it looks much better than mw2.

Just wondering tho what is the most part of call of duty you guys dont like?

Hate Call of duty because of the CEO? :|..sounds too..ehh..you know..:P. who cares about the CEO, the game is what matters, sometimes it feels like only a few people are excited for Black Ops on SW :(. it has zombies! and youtube uploading!

Activision yearly milk title.

It is what the game stands for that people hate, not the game itself.

Pretty much this. I think the game gets way to much heat too,(its a good not great, but good game) but honestly Activision and Bobby Kotick are behind evil, which is pretty much the main reason I won't be buying Black Ops.

But why support a company that wants to drastically change the gaming industry in a bad way?

I mainly just can't stand the community. I'd much rather play other games that aren't plagued by squeeky little kids and hot headed frat boys who haven't played any video games besides Call of Duty and think they are Gods at video games because they're good at Call of Duty

Personally i see nothing wrong with the games, maybe if they just remove noob tubing it will be fine and fix these glicthes, other than that the games are quite enjoyable, been playing mw2 since it launched, havent got bored of it yet :P

Because COD games were just never fun, if I want an FPS I'll play a Tactical Shooter.

because anybody can be good at call of duty.

makes people feel less special about their rad skillz

I had a bad experience with someone while playing CoD4. I owned this guy in a S&D match and everyone was making fun of him so he googled my PSN and found my profile on GS and found out my college and stuff from my blog and was sending me death threats and stuff for "embarrassing him" and was saying all this other crap. Since that happened on a CoD game, I've always had a hatred for the community

Apparently so. I couldn't believe it. Luckily nothing ever came of it but its still just ridiculous to even happen

e-threats and gaming.is seriously sad business. thank God i stopped playing competively online games..

For me it's more of what the game has done to gaming.

Although, I can't say the same for other people's communities, but at my school it has absolutely ruined gaming conversations and gaming in general. All anyone talks about is CoD and all anybody ever plays is CoD. I've suggested games like CSS, Battlefield 2, Battlefront 2 and the answer I always get to that is **** off, we don't want your **** games. All I need is CoD"

It pisses me off to no end.

And there's always the fact Activision is absolutely terrible.

Oh and the other fact it's not fun.

But of course, I suppose the latter is subjective.

i don't see the reason for the hate either i've had my issues with it but i still enjoy it and some of the haters are the same people lining up at midnight to buy it when the new ones drop

I don't hate it, the fourth RPG shot into a room killing you does get to you after a while.FIipMode

Nah what happened was that we were playing SnD and he was camping in a room so I snuck into the room and planted a claymore right behind him and waited there just staring at him looking through the window. Apparently his teammates were yelling at him to turn around. I shot him in the back once with my pistol so he turned around and died by the claymore and I was laughing at him afterwards. He basically exploded in rage and did all that stuff

I'm more of a fan of single player FPS, and while CoD's campaigns used to be enjoyable on a basic level (CoD2 especially), the CoD campaigns start to feel more and more like tacked-on crap, with MW2 as perfect example.

Simple. COD is unblanced, unrealistic, noobish and simply not satisfying for many gamers...why? we don't like the fact that you can die and kill so easily, no challenge...the game isn't intense or competitive..it's just about who shoots first...thats it. Many seem to just camp, seeing how it's so easy to die. Knifing someone in the foot kills them....*facepalm* I hate the game with a passion.

Many PC gamers hate Modern Warfare 2 for being stripped down but that's getting fixed by Call of Duty: Black Op's proper PC support.

I don't hate the game, but nothing about proves it is any good. I don't care what reviews say, when I played the game, I experienced none of it, and they never played online as it seems. The game is still unbalanced and broken, and no one's tried to fix it. Hopefully Black Ops brings it back a little.

BTW, I was talking about MW2, not all of Call of Duty. The first two were great, but the rest weren't.

Ity unbalanced trash pumped out every year by a second rate money hungry publisher.

also no dedicated servers and no mod support make me go:

(crazy)

the only cod that deserves AAA is WAW(haven't played the first one) imo, all IW COD games suck. treyarch is a much better dev WAW>>all cods.

the reason cod gets hate because:

1rehashes yearly

2. broken multiplayer(deathstreaks, killstreaks, campers, unbalanced weapons, stupid weapon upgrading system)

3. most campaigns are pathetic. 3 hours? are you kidding me?

4. 15£ map packs.

5. Its activation.

BO does seem to be shaping up well, and its made by treyarch, so i do have some confidence.

The cause has a name and that is Kotick. Plus infinity ward is no more,,, :cry:

Activision yearly milk title.

Not so much call of duty, but activision. Take their customers for fools and sell them a product that has basically already been made just been 'updated' with a few extra touches.

I stopped caring for CoD series after 2nd part. I tried Modern Warfare but didn't like it on the gamepad.

Good series but when a game starts to come year after year the improvements are very small. Also i think Battlefield (bad company) and Halo are better series.

commando pro- knifing from 5 ft away through bullets one man army pro- unlimited claymores and noob tube ammo deathstreaks- why reward someone for sucking? too much aim assist retarded spawns balance issuesbizzy420

Because the multiplayer is an unbalanced mess that rewards camping over any other play **** Oh, and the single player is run of the mill with it's invisible walls, AI-less enemies, mess of a story, same ole' run n gun gameplay, etc.DragonfireXZ95

Pretty much why i dislike it so much. I don't dislike for the sake of it, but after playing the game, i just felt the same as the one's i quoted, and eventually i hated the fact that i spent my hard earned money on it.. Stupid mistake of mine.

Because it's almost the same game every single year and i;m getting tired of it. That's why i'm moving on and going to buy Medal of Honor.

Campaigns are linear corridors with non-existant A.I. and repetitive enemies.

Multiplayer is team deathmatch focused with no objective based modes and demands low skill (almost no spread, almost no recoil, high damage x bullet).

Also, MW lacks dedicated servers, which means no clans, cr4py connections and host advantage.

Its less about hating the game and more about hating Kotick. Its somewhat wierd since Kotick has been CEO of Activision for like 20 years. The same goes for Blizz hate too, which once more is odd becouse Blizzard is owned by Vivendi, which has the majority of stocks in the whole Acti Blizz merger and Kotick is not the CEO of the Vivendi part.
