To be fair, many people dissatisfied with the state of Call of Duty are former / current COD fans. I loved it back in the early days, when it was a WW2 shooter that did what the original Medal of Honors did and could not, and thought it was revolutionary when it brought shooters out of the World War 2 age into modern times with Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.

People forget that it's COD 4 that popularized the Modern-day shooter. COD used to be a ground breaking series that used to set the standard for other companies to follow. Nowdays it's an iterative, yearly sequel-itis affair that doesn't really excite a lot of people who don't want to buy the same game every year.

I'll admit that the multiplayer is still some of the best in the business and I was surprised by the quality of the co-op multiplayer in MW3, but it's not enough for many people anymore.

Yeah, I bet. It's like Apple's totally ignoring their competition and the new market landscape nowadays. Do they WANT to fail in China or something?

No need to curse out other people. The iPhone5's not a bad product, but that doesn't mean it's perfect.

Hate the long form factor myself and the fact that you can't add an SD card or access the file system. I love the flexibility of Android too much.

Plus, there's that 4" screen size. Ugh, too small for me, and it's oddly proportioned because of the tallness.

Sounds like a good idea, especially if you like adding extra storage via micro SD cards or connecting your phone as a storage device to your pc via a USB cable.

I STILL can't believe Apple doesn't let you do stuff as simple as that. This is the 21st century. Their iOS appstore and ecosystem and such is amazing but in other ways I feel like they're really stuck in the past.

Yep. And thanks to that, MS is now getting creamed in the phone / tablet business that Apple practically invented the market for, which is now taking lots of business away from traditional PC's.

I'm not saying that's bad or good or anything, I just find it ironic.

Ditto, HTC's always impressed me, although the Note 3 does look very good.

Technically, the 5C does have a better battery than the 5. But I think that's about it.

I agree, it's good to see someone else who knows about the history of Sony and its many proprietary formats that oft-times only it ended up using.

Yeah they succeeded withe the Blu-Ray, but they've made so much other stuff that they didn't need to when they could've just joined everyone else who had agreed to a standard in the past.

Yeah, even though I don't play a lot of Nintendo games, I have to admit they don't milk their franchises as much as the sequel factories like EA and Activision and even Ubisoft.

Yeah they keep remaking stuff like Smash Brothers, but it's every couple of years instead of annually, and they do innovate and change things.

It's not like the yearly recycled Call of Duty titles that you pay $60 for each time. Nintendo gives you new features and doesn't cheat you of your hard earned cash at least.
