Poll: COD: YAY OR NAY

[2012 Wont Happen]

Call of Duty 2, MW, MW2 and Black Ops were good. The best by far was COD2, so the series looses points for having made its best title a little over five years ago. Overall, still probably "yay" though for the series.

 

[Fiery Killer]

Every time a new Call of Duty comes out I end up buying it for some reason and then get bored of it within the same week of purchase, and never touch it again. So I say nay.

The singleplayer games have always been fantastic. I don't really play multiplayer games so that's not really an issue for me.

 

[cannot_aim]

generally good stories and great multiplayer

 

[Nazulu]

A big MEH from me. I don't hate it but I find it pathetic they've hardly done anything through the entire series, same shit over and over as we all already know.

Priced high yet still dead in 1 year. Not value, IMO, especially with the lack of developer support the game seems to get.

 

[bushwhacker2k]

I consider it to be a good game, but at the same time anything which is released again with a 2 tacked on with little to no improvements and yet sells like hot cakes, as they say, bothers me... though I know I'll likely be disagreed with, I stand by what I said.

I've played all but 3 and Black Ops, and after World at War they went down the toilet. Enjoy playing? Ehh, single player is decent (Russian half of WaW is amazing). Online is annoying with all the noob campers and difficult now since I reformatted since the last time I played. I did that with CoD4 a year or so ago and I got kicked/banned from so many servers because I was level 1-4 and killing level 55's with an MP5. Not like the levels mean anything besides how many weapons/perks you can use...

Hopefully Homefront will be the next online shooter I can enjoy... I need one again... :/

 

[elbrandino]

I love COD 2 and COD 4 was decent I thought. WAW is one of my favorites. As for MW2... it's the one that turned me off of the entire franchise.

 

[Kenny Kondom]

I do like them. always have and im guessing always will. I find the gameplay realistic (apart from the whole 'your screen gets covered by vimto if hurt' thing) and the storylines, although farfetched, are amusing, and follow the same sort of lines i have in my favorite books.
But the best had to be COD 2. the story was lacking, sure, but you played in different theaters of war, and the multiplayer was reasonably well balanced with powerful long range rifles against short range, no aiming required weapons. But the other games have their appeals to them too.

 

[fates_puppet13]

meh
its ok
but its campaigns are repetative
and multiplayer is a load of shit sputing monkeys why are in denial that they've stopped having fun

 

[Weaver]

I don't like them anymore. It's basically just the same game again and again at this point.

 

[ranyilliams]

COD 1-2: never played
COD 3: YAY!
COD MW: NAY!
COD WAW: NAY!
COD MW2: YAY!
COD BO: YAY!
thats why i picked meh...some i love some i cant play without hating my life.

 

[Giantpanda602]

Yay for Black Ops, meh for MW, and UBER nay for MW2. I never cared for the rest.

 

[Balobo]

As much as I'm sure many people would disagree with me, it's the most fluid, fast paced, twitch based shooter on the market. The majority of the haters are just jumping on the 'it's cool to hate popular things' wagon.

Oh yes, because it's absolutely flawless and all hate can only be justified with "lol its popular."

 

[Westaway]

They are just so flawed in so may ways, and if you are host, you win, plain and simple.

 

[Astoria]

I've played it twice, once drunk once sober. I had fun but I've enjoyed other games more. I've watched it being played a fair few times too and I don't really see what's so amazing about it.

 

[Xanadu84]

I haven't played 1 or 3, but I love all Call of Duty games. They are the Die Hard of video games. They aren't very innovative, special, or artistic. But there are very few games that even approach them in terms of wild and wacky shoot-em-up, blow-em-up, mindless destructive fun. They put all their effort into polishing very imaginative executions of cliche action tropes, and don't apologize for it. I wish that games would push the envelope and innovate more, and the games that do innovate deserve a lot more success, but despite that, CoD certainly deserves to be popular.

 

[snoopy7393]

The general opinion is very interesting on the Escapist.(w00t)
I put the same poll on IGN a week ago and the feedback was a landslide for "Yay". The only people to say "Nay" were boo'd off the interent by the village trolls. I love this site.

keep up the good work guys.

Spoiler: ^.^

XD

 

[OrdinaryGuy]

COD 1&2 were great, COD4 was good. Everything else went down the tubes fast. "Meh" overall.
