Escapist hate towards CoD and Halo?

Spoiler: The Escapist in a nutshell

"Oh hey, welcome to the Escapist, what's your favor- oh. Halo? Really? My favorite game isn't even out yet. You've probably never heard of it, it's called Minecraft and it's indie as f... what do you mean you've heard of it? Whatever, you wouldn't get it because it doesn't have amazing graphics or space marines."​

As perfect as the marraige between image and dialogue is. I'm pissed off that I now have to know that this guy exists.

I don't play online, your quibbles are lost on me.

I think CoD stopped being innovative past CoD4. CoD2 introduced the best handling in a game of all time which no one can deny. CoD4 introduced the deep class system and now that is mimicked to a tee on virtually all multiplayer FPSs. Past that though it was garbage. WaW was horrendous. MW2 tried to do too much, WITHOUT a beta test, which just screams "Fuck this game up". Black Ops is terrible. It's all the worst of MW2 married to all the worst of WaW. The gross unbalance of MW2, and the horrible controlling/maps/character drawing of WaW. The series has one last chance in MW3 for Infinity Ward to pull it's head out of it's ass, listen to it's community, and produce a title that is innovative. Beyond that there is no hope and the series is effectively dead.

I will not comment on Halo because I don't even own an Xbox so my experience with the series is limited to going to a friend's house and getting smacked by his Xbox knowledge and hating the experience.
