I see I've come late to the COD-bashing party, as usual. Really people?
Whether you admit it or not, COD does take some level of skill - how else would I be able to consistently beat some players, or get consistently beaten by others, if it did not? It may not require the dedication of something like Counterstrike, but you can't be garbage at playing and do great at the same time.
And at one of the other above comments, COD is for "non-gamers" who like to think they know everything? Hardly. Just because someone has an interest in another type of game you don't, doesn't mean they're any less intelligent.
As for camping and noob-tubing, those are playstyle choices that I don't think really qualify as "skills", and while annoying both are easily countered. Campers are always going to be vulnerable to grenades/flashbangs/noobtubes, and usually are not much of a problem. As for noobtubes, while they were admittedly a problem in MW2, in MW3 they were nerfed significantly and I hardly ever see them being used.

no one said anything about CoD not being fun, it just doesnt require much skill, once again still a fun game.
explain how it doesnt take skill?well for one the game is based on reaction time and flanking.
reaction time because people die so quick consistant aiming is unnecessary, not to say aiming isn't important but anyone can get a kill in that game having never played before purely due to twitch reactions.
flanking: in my years of playing CoD (been playing since modern warfare 1, wich is by far the best imo) I've noticed that around 90% of the time you die to someone you cant see. this caused by the ridiculously low FoV this game provides. CoD is pretty much hide and seek, you see a guy first you get a kill, the other guy sees you first he gets a kill.(as opposed to UT,TF2,Tribes...etc where it takes much longer to kill someone.)
Plus the entire point of this game is to have a very low learning curve and skill ceiling. they did that so anyone could jump on for 20 min get a bunch of kills, get some killstreaks, see some explotions, and generaly have a quick fun time and then feel acomplished afterwords.
Now there's nothing wrong with that, in fact its great fun and is making infinity ward/ treyarch millions.Cod is a lot of things Hard or skilled based aren't one of them.
