[QUOTE="MyopicCanadian"]You can say DICE gave it their all, but at the end of the day.. I uninstalled BC2, I'm done with it, and yet I'm still playing MW1 and MW2. But oh wait, I must just be a stupid lemming... it's not like I made that choice for myself or I'm just playing the games I like or anything.THA-TODD-BEAST
I'm still not sure you even understand what I'm saying. My point is not that Call of Duty is a terrible series, but rather that paying $60 for nothing more than a re-skin is something only lemmings do. The games have shown few-to-no improvements from one Modern Warfare-esque game to the next, and the fact that they're charging full price while making so few changes to the formula is ridiculous. Much of what I'm seeing could easily be coming in the form of Download Content or expansion packs. In comparison, Bad Company 2 offers far more new things and emphasizes more teamwork and tactics than Modern Warfare, and that's why I was saying it's the superior game in regards to its depth and teamplay. Modern Warfare is an "idiot's shooter" in which you run around like, well, an idiot, killing enemies in sight with no real objective in mind unless you're on one of the few maps that doesn't involve meeting a score or time criteria. Because I know you'll take this the wrong way, too, I'm not calling you an idiot if you enjoy the game. What I mean by "idiot's shooter" is that it takes no more thought than seeing someone, getting them in your sights, and pulling the trigger. There is no recoil to worry about, no teamwork to be concerned with, and few to no objectives to meet. It's a shooter made for simpletons.
Oh come off it. A reskin? Please. Think about any games series, few of them change substantially from iteration to iteration, including your beloved battlefield series. Changing the CoD formula is like changing the CS formula... very tricky thing to do.
Also I love how you're tying to make out like BC2 players are of a higher class and taste than those who play CoD, perhaps people prefer CoD because it's a fun game (yes I said it) and BC2 isn't. As much as I love dealing with horrible sluggish controls, poor hit detection and 'teamwork' in public matches I think I'd rather just save myself the frustration and play CoD.
At the end of the day it's better to play a fun mindless shooter than it is to play a crap one. These are games after all.
