They racked up huge critical acclaim, record sales, set a standard online that every dev tries to copy now, and set this franchaise as a pop culture phenomenon of this gaming generation. So will 20 years from now, will the gaming media look back and say this is one of the greatest games of all time?

nope because if you look at sales, alot of singers nowadays (lady gaga?) would then be looked at as the best singer of our generation. Which obviously isn't true even if you enjoy her music. Gaming will look back and say "wow they went from cod 4, and went downhill since." Call of duty is a mess, always will be.

the point I'm making is numbers don't equate to quality.

Hell no

the worst balanced multiplayer game ever

a game that features the supernatural COMMANDO, and the most broken noobtube in history will never be one of the greatest games of all times.

Call of Duty 4 was very good to be honest. I find it annoying how people slate that game off just because the sequels suck. It played out a lot like a casual mans version of Counter Strike but it was very fun, addictive and revolutionary.

20 years from now, it'll be forgotten. It's 'critical acclaim'... is a sham, with the essentially bribing of reviewers. Individually forgotten, that is, the series as a whole may be remembered, but since it's so milked, few, if any specific ones will stick out.

fyi most of the gaming community hates on COD-not just this forum. It has done some good stuff, but looking back-it'll probably be looked at as a "what if." I don't see it improving.

Okay then TC.SMG/SMG2 will be hailed one of the greatest games in this generation along with Uncharted 2.Why did you create this thread in the first place TC? Did you want to annoy the legit COD haters?Maybe COD 4 will get into the hall of fame, but not the other games.Don't you remind me of someone anyway TC?

Dear lord I hope not. The original Call of Duty and its expansion are the only one deserving if the title.

Please tell me what ACTUALLY makes CoD a good game. Telling me its "fun" and has "Best sales" don't tell me a damn thing. Have fun playing your overrated 60$ expansion pack in November.

Anyway from what I heard around the internet most reviewers are starting to regret how high they scored MW2.

the broken noobtubes, the inbalance, and the trash campaign all are really fun if you want them to be. :)

I could see COD4 getting acclaim in the future, but I don't know about the sequels.

Nope. Popularity does not make a classic also COD has very few features which are really unique to it. The perks and killstreaks may be noted slightly but other than that there's nothing that stands out as identifiable. Mario is remembered not because it's a good platforming franchise but because of the characters, there are plenty of platformers but only one Mario.

Mw2 only added more perks, killstreaks, and another average story about Russians and Nuclear weapons...

No other game offers exhilarating 60 FPS on console with heart pumping action like Cod has. Who wants to spend 5 minutes trying to find someone to kill? No one. Thats what Cod does best with enemys to pwn at every corner what more could you want? Whats takes more skill, killing 5 enemys with a Commando or Using a tank to blow up a house with a sniper? But hey all those 30 million people buying it are wrong except for 100 GS users. Gamespot=/=Real World

I can enjoy exhilarating 60 FPS on almost any game on my PC. I don't see the heart pumping action in a rehashed game with an average story. Communist Russians and nuclear weapons are nothing new. Also CoD takes no skill whatsoever. LOL they say Blops is harder then Mw2 because killstreaks don't lead to other killstreaks? Give me a break.... After 4 hours I got extremely bored. No, I did not buy the game. STEAM have these things called "Free weekend" .

MW1 - Perhaps

MW2 - No. The overall opinion of the games by mature people is rightfully negative.
