Yep more kids being born. More kids get to 8 and say "MOM I WANT CALL OF DURY!!!!" So she buys COD and he screams down his mic "MY MOM BUGHT THIS GAME! HAHAHAHAHAHA YOU ARE GAY ****** ****** ****** ****** ****** ****** ****** ******" And this repeats year after year.
Good fucking GOD, people. You go on these threads and ***** about a title for some reason and then go onto those "stop hating cod" threads and wonder why there are so many people saying there's too much CoD hate.
Ok, we get it, it being praised makes the games you like look worse by comparison. But can't you just get over it already? I don't even like this series and you people are driving me to defend it.
Anyways, gratz to Kotick and all them. Good to see video games competing with other entertainment types. Maybe they'll get taken more seriously (as if that even matters).

To answer the question "Why do you hate Call of Duty?", you have to have met the people I have. The Call of Duty fans that I know are loud, obnoxious, homophobic (not just on XBOX Live) douchebags that want to get paid to do schoolwork (I'm serious). With those kinds of people playing it, can you blame me for wanting nothing to do with it?
It's also important to take note that these guys do in fact call almost every other game they see "gay". Here's a list of games that are "gay" to them: Battlefield 3, Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3, Skyrim, Shadow of the Colossus, Legend of Zelda (series), Mario (series), Ace Attorney (series), every game on the Nintendo 64 (except some of them seem to enjoy Goldeneye), Street Fighter (series), Uncharted (series), Assassin's Creed (series) and Team Fortress 2 (according to them, shooters shouldn't be that colourful).
So yeah, why do I hate Call of Duty? My answer: the fans. I would enjoy the game a hell of a lot more if it wasn't for its fanbase.

looks like CoD did better because BF3 requires origin, and no one wants a spyware on there pc like me.
im still enjoying the MP of MW3. but im not a fan. i dint get my self every single CoD game. got my self black ops because i had a voucher card for the store and i had to buy still something because brotherhood was postponed again to a date when i move to a different country.

So, I wonder how many of those MW3 players will scratch their heads and wonder why it plays so similarly to MW2 and MW1. :/
(Maybe it's because it's almost the exact same game and they didn't change much aside from weapons, killstreaks, and gametypes?)

Normally this would be expected, but with Skyrim being out, I'm wondering why all those people are busy playing a generic shooter when they could play a REAL game.
What they forget to mention si that 50% of these people traded in MW3 within those first 5 days of buying it because it was a P.O.S.
Meh, I still like CoD. The first CoD I ever bought was Black Ops actually, and I quite enjoyed it. I haven't bought MW3 yet but might in a year or two. I find them fun, many people find them fun. Who are you to tell them what they can't do with their personal tastes and/or money?
they probably coulda made you pay 300 bucks for it and the cod fanboys still would buy it.
thats probably why it made the most money.
but in all honesty everything besides the multiplayer in MW3 is actually rather nice (i actually love the surivival mode a lot)

yea but when that happens the game companies dont have to give the money back, its the dealers which do. so even in that case Hype>Quality still wins out.Kakashi on crack said:
I would say - eat it haters. No taste? Tricked again? Well marketed shit? Oh well...
The fact is, I have played every CoD/MW game, most of them on PC before all this PC vs console, 360 vs PS3 and BF3 vs CoD became such a hipster pastime. And my judgement is that this is the best of the series since the first MW. I didn't like CoD3, WaW or Black Ops much. But I DO like the MW3 campaign. It's well paced, varied and tied in with a pretty good story for a military FPS. Put in an excellent Spec Ops and Survival mode and it's an excellent package. I don't play multiplayer ever so I don't care about that.
I'm also playing Skyrim, Dark Souls, GoW3 and Midnight Club LA so feel free to troll away about people's supposed taste...OR...stop commenting on games you hate and probably haven't and never will play.

Personally, I could give a rats ass about how well MW3 sells/sold. Wait, as a gamer I do care. For any number of reasons. As gamers we should stop, think and then realize the COD franchise represents everything that is wrong with modern gaming.
What I mean by that is this; COD, as a franchise, shows exactly what happens when games go corporate. Big Business. Everything becomes about a profit/loss margin. Less risk is taken in return for assured revenue. This mentality and process works well for the vast majority of the business world. For the gaming industry it's ridiculous, dangerous and ultimately; destructive. It does nothing to promote original thought, fresh ideas or innovation in a medium that can not only tell a story but also allow people to interact with it as well.
The end result is we, as gamers, end up with homoganized souless games that are almost all interchangable with the others. It leaves the player thinking "wait, didn't I just do this in another game?". This is especially true of the current FPS landscape.

I guess its the same reason why ppl go for fastfood on almost a daily basis. You know you shouldnt do it, but you're tired from work, short on time, in a hurry and everyone else is doing it, so you just go for it anyways.electric method said:
And you know what you get, it'll taste exactly like the last 100 times.
I have no hatred for COD but I just hope the massive sales of Skyrim prove to the development companies that they don't have to make an FPS for a game to sell well.
No new IP from Activision...true. But I wonder how developers interpret sales figures.Cronq said:
1. "Hey, apparently people like shooters so let's make another one."
Or
2. "People like triple A shooters with huge production values, like CoD, Battlefield, Halo, GoW, Crisis and Killzone so there is no point in creating another one with nothing new to add...as they won't sell as well.
Considering the fact that such shooters as Bodycount, Brink, Homefront and Call of Juarez: The Cartel got made is an indication that some developers indeed interpret sales figures/ market opportunities in the first way.
But what about other genres? It's hard to say to what extent the succes of big budget shooters actually smothers the development of say, fighting games...or racing games...or WRPGs.
It's not like there's a well documented set of other genre projects of which we know that developers cancelled them so they could start work on another shooter, right? I am not saying it does not happen, I just don't know how often it happens.
I Will prove that you can not only have a conversation with yourself, but a conversation with yourself having a conversation with someone having a conversation with himself.sravankb said:

Tony - "Yea, damn biased Moderators. If somebody bashed that game I like they wouldn't get the same treatment"
Jerry - "But Tony, nobody on that website you frequent bashes the game you like, so how could you possibly know? Anyway your suspension is up, what you gonna do now?"
Tony - "Shut up Jerry, im just gonna go do the same thing again. This time they will surely understand how wrong they are. Oh look, Tim created a new thread bashing the game that I dont like. I think I will post there"
