Indeed, I was finding that pretty funny myself.
For me, I think I'd have to recommend
Batman: Arkham Asylum (and then suggest he play City)
Assassin's Creed 2
Uncharted 2
I picked the 2nd AC and Uncharted games because I feel they improved upon the originals a good deal. With luck, if my friend took my advice and tried these, he'd look into the originals on his own. These are just the first things that came to mind, but depending on what else I knew of my friend's interests, I might swap something out for a good RPG or strategy game.

We were asked for games that are good for someone who played Call of Duty almost exclusively to branch out to. Suggesting a game for a console the guy probably doesn't have on hand that is old, ugly, and different in every possible way is not a good suggestion.
As the person above me mentioned, the friend is asking for something completely different than CoD. You can go with another FPS in a different setting like Bioshock or Borderlands, but it's still pretty similar. For that matter, my suggestion of Uncharted would still be pretty similar, just 3rd person instead of 1st, though the platforming adds an element that a CoD player would not have experienced. I haven't played Dead Space so I can't comment on it, other than knowing it is 3rd persona sci-fi/horror, so at least removed from the CoD formula by that much.
