[QUOTE="CaptainAhab13"] Well it certainly seemed to kick the "modern military online shooter" genre into overdrive.super600

It certainly is the finest military game ever created in the history of FPS games. Call of Duty defines gaming nowadays. It used to be good old Mario, now times have changed.

Good old mario still has the power to obliterate the COD franchise according to this.

The rivalry doesn't exist in the platforming genre. Period.

[QUOTE="super600"]

So DangerousLiquid you still think COD4 is the most important game in gaming?

Of this generation? Without question. Any serious gaming publication would agree with that.

Yay!The sad thing is that these AAA scores are not telling the truth about the franchise in it's current state.

Posted nine months ago. Too bad that wasn't the case with Call of Duty 4 or MW2. ;)

Call of Duty 4 revolutionized the gaming industry, and is nowadays recognized by many gaming publications as one of the most important games in recent history. MW2 turned COD into a global phenomenon, and those "review events" have nothing to do with it.

So you can't say this about Modern Warfare 3. ;)

Also, how ironic that this was about Black Ops, which is by far the most balanced and best CoD since CoD2.

The reason I'm showing you that is that Activsion could have been using that for the other insanely popular COD games too, but the review sites were to scared to actually report about that event.

No, the headline is clearly Black Ops. You can't spin it around, making the MW series look foolish.

In what way is COD 4 "important".

This question is as stupid as asking:

in what way is Halo 1/WoW/Half-Life/Zelda/GTA3/Doom important.

Should simply be ignored.

We don't have online statistics, but the Wii online is atrocious. If it were even mildly impressive, Nintendo would have let us now.

I read somewhere that well above 2 million wii users have access to the Wii's online.Can you please find another reason to prove the COD's franhise superiority besides using the sales arguement?

The problem is he's comparing a game released across 5 platforms vs. a game that is only on 1. And yet, Mario Kart still reigns supreme.

Black Ops rough sales figureshttp://www.vgchartz.com/worldtotals.php?name=black+ops&publisher=&console=&genre=&minSales=0&results=50&sort=Total

Mario Kart Wiihttp://www.vgchartz.com/worldtotals.php?name=mario+kart+wii&publisher=&console=&genre=&minSales=0&results=50&sort=Total

1. VGChartz. :roll:

2. It's all fair, if you think about it, the combined sales of PS3 and 360 add up to the sales of Wii.

Take away PC, DS and Wii versions, and you take away, 1-2 million in sales.

Well, apart from the AAA scores flying in from all kind of critics, we have the community who loves CoD and the simple yet ambigious gameplay.

You're calling MarioKartWii unpopular? Do you want to get into that discussion again.

[QUOTE="lightleggy"] lol no, mario kart sold twice as much as BO on the wii, and its way more actively played, SSBB as well, even though its donkey crap (online) but its still one of the most played games.super600

:lol::lol:

Black Ops attracts 17 million unique users on PS3, 360 and PS3 each week.

If you honestly think any game in the world (like the big ones; CS, WoW, SC) comes close, let alone some unpopular games on the Wii, then;

you're simply trolling,

or you're the most uneducated gamer in the world.

...and? What does that have anything to do with anything? Aside from you purposley leaving out certain peices of info to make it seem like one games has 7 mil playing daily?

Let me just put this like this:

Black Ops is in all likelihood more actively played than all the Wii games online combined. That's imposing, if anything.
