Why so much hate towards Call of Duty??

alot of people think its repetitive and just another shooter like halo...and yea it is repetitive admit it, yet apparently ur addicted :P :lol: its watever tho, dont let others opinions keep u from wat u like... but hope that answers ur question, alot of it is repetitiveness of shooters, plus lacking a good story line, plus the fact that shooters take alot of work and practice :/

Yearly milking, $15 map packs for 2 remakes and 3 new maps. lots of glitches, killstreak super unbalanced. All I can think of now.

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

You just described the Halo community...

Considering how much it sells compared to pretty much every game except HALO. It's vastly overated. An activision is just milking it to hell and back. To be perfectly honest, I wouldn't support activision no matter how good their games are or published by them for that matter. Bobby Kotick is such a greedy scum bag. People are just contributing to his greed and their going to pay the consiquences for it on their favorite games soon enough.

• Worst community ever. Filled with a bunch of immature punks.
• Overpriced DLC
• Most greedy publisher
• Yearly update
• Annoyances in multiplayer
• 5 hour single-player

For the most part its a good game, but there are two main reasons:

1. PC gamers that are jaded about its move to being on consoles and can't accept the game for what it is.

2. People who hate Activision and what the game stands for (yearly titles that sell tons against other, better works) more than the actual game itself.

Some people also just don't like shooters, but that encompasses more than just CoD.

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?

Because the game is hugely popular actually moved the genre forward online,and several fans from both side PS3 and 360 see it as something that could dethrone their favorite games of choice on those consoles.

The reasons why I hate CoD ever since cod4:

Killstreaks=free kills

Perks make the game even easier

Doesn't even take to skill to play this game anymore

Autoaim knife

laggy matchmaking system

As for PC:

Mw2 has no dedicated servers

Mw2 has no mod tools/conversion tools

cod4 maps aren't even balanced for 50 players and the spawn system sucks

Call of Duty 2 was the perfect run and gun shooter....

Call Of Duty 4 has amazing Online Multiplayer, I never played the story though. Modern Warfare 2 had a fun campaign and I had a blast with the Special Ops missions, I hated the online though which was the reason I purchased the game. These are the only Call Of Duty games I have purchased, I had no problem with MW1 but I lost my interest in the series with MW2 though, no hate though.

Killstreaks don't = free kills i have see tons of people fail predator,and i have kills tons of chopper and airplanes before they can even make a kill,in fact i have downed chopper gunners before they can even make a kill and many people i know as well.

Because the series sucks.

Not sure if I should take your first point seriously. I have a feeling your not a PC gamer or simply dont get why people were mad. To put it simply: MW2 has less than MW in terms of options and mp content. If you think its ok to take things away from a sequel, things that were in the last game and are a standard then there is no point in arguing with you becouse I like my sequels to expand upon what came before.

Well, subjectively, there is a lot about Call of Duty that I don't like. The graphics aren't as good as current day games, the sound isn't great. The gameplay is stale to me. I don't understand the point of a jump button if you need it to go context sensitive to get on top of anything.

But, looking at it from an objective standpoint.

Call of Duty releases every year. They are on a 2 year dev cycle though due to alternating developers, but it doesn't seem they take advantage of that time. They don't update their game engine very much, and the campaigns are rather short. Also, the modes are very inconsistent. Some have co-op, some don't, some have capture the flag, some don't.

Also, the online is getting wonky and silly. It's evolving into an auto kill game. It's all about killstreaks, perks, and aim assist now (more specifically, it's about knowing how to exploit it).

They keep trying to go bigger (as far as stuff going on) with the MP, but they still haven't added dedicated servers, there's something fundamentally wrong with that, especially considering that the game doesn't perform well. I think people that don't notice the lag, or don't think it's bad, are just used to laggy games, because it's not that bad compared to other p2p games, but it's horrid compared to dedi servers.

All in all, I find the things they add to be very superficial, and often don't improve the game, but rather diminish the enjoyability of the game.

I don't hate the game though, as I feel it keeps a lot of really annoying people occupied and out of games I do play online, thus improving my gaming experience by distracting the chuckle heads.

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

oh wow, do people really take games too seriously like this? never thought anyone could go this far

Because the game is terrible.

Play cod4 hardcore mode on PC with 50 other people :P.

I got so many killstreaks that they were still playing after the round ended."Airstrike Ready" "Chopper Ready".

LOL I don't get scores like this in cod2 unless I really work hard for it and practice. Also it was my first attemp at Hardcore VIP:
