I don't think it should stop, it would be better if they just slowed down a bit. I enjoy the games, but they don't need to be released so quickly.
Poll: Should Call of Duty Stop?

Why does everyone keep bitching that the MW2 campaign was too short, then go on to say that the CD4 campaign was awesome and ground breaking? They're the same damn length. And since when does long = good, anyway?
They'll stop making CoD games when people stop buying them. All the "Call of Duty games are getting worse and worse" threads don't mean a thing when the games are selling millions of pre-orders. Obviously some people like them, or they wouldn't keep selling.

CoD4 did not need a sequel, and we didn't need CoD4 with WWII badly pasted over it. MW2 multiplayer was great on paper, but the obvious abuses did not help (Not as bad since Blops came out). Then Black Ops comes out with a terrible story, half assed multiplayer, and the gaming nicotine- zombies. If we know Activision, and we do, all they look at is sales numbers. So as long as CoD is selling, their studios will keep shitting them out. I heard a rumor the next CoD is an MW prequel with Ghost. WTF?thestig1214 said:
This and others like it are valid points, but should we as gamers WANT these businesses who make our valued entertainment to put out something we'll get tired of so quickly? Sure, "money makes the world go round", and while accepting all the problems that come with that statement, if a company can do something well, they should do it. But some timing is nice too. Nostalgia is a powerful force; I think CoD is at least one title that can stand to take it slow for about half a decade with its fanbase still remembering it.emeraldrafael said:

oh yes! the game that sold over 2 million copies (CALL OF MOTHERFUCKING DUTY MODERN WARFARE 2) is DEFINITELY in a downhill trend. oh and that statistic of being the most popular multiplayer game to ever exist? pure myth and hear-say! yes they should certainly close down after this massive success of black ops. there games are so shit that EVERYONE buys them.
being serious now, fuck off. just don't post this stupid shit. personal opinion is not cared for unless you have an objective view on this subject as well. i hate the call of duty series, but i know for a FACT they are even now nearing the apex of their popularity. post this with anything that has this much popularity, especially one without an objective view, is gonna get you so much stick it'll hurt for weeks. now go and post something that presents a proper question.
The only way to stop it is to not buy, and that wont happen. Dont look at the medium and tell it to change when everyone makes it think thats what the target audience wants.Ipsen said:
So you hate when people think a franchise should just stop and I hate it when people say other people should just stop. It's just an opinion you know since we're pointing out the obvious, it's not like the franchise is just going to die because of one thread, or even 100.PhunkyPhazon said:
They gave their reasons and they believe it's going nowhere, what the hell is wrong with that?
OT: I don't believe they should stop but I reckon they could try and make something else in-between games. It seems they release a new COD every year, how about they make a slightly bigger COD that can last for 3 years and try and be creative for once, they seem to have the money.
It just won't ****ing DIE! You could destory Treyarch HQ and disembowl the entire development staff and the series would still continue (Like Charlie Sheens Sex life). You know who buys these kind's of games (AE Ea Sports and Call of duty)? Self Aggrandizing douche bags who think its cool to swagger about killing people just because there in the US Army. (<------ That right there is Realism 
This game won't stop selling, as long as Donnie The douchbag and Parol Pete and 14 year old wiggers can live out there distant army fantasy, they'd be glad to scoff out another 60$ for the same thing every year. Thats like if i stole your car, repainted it and sold it back to you (ZP REFRENCE)

They should go the route of Bad Company, big ass maps, somewhat realistic bullet physics, vehicles, and the biggest one, something that is taboo for them BETA TEST YOUR FUCKING GAME!!!!!!
Your ideas are fairly extreme, and in my opinion, not well thought out. I?ll lay out my disagreements in simple, clear points.
First off, call of duty is both for casual and hardcore gamers; I know lots of casuals who purchase the game and get into it due to the amount of friends they have playing the game online.
Secondly, I don?t think you can make the argument that the series is getting worse, Blacks ops was a better game than world at war, and modern warfare 2 was both highly reviewed and played.
Thirdly, with black ops released, I have seen extremely few noob toobers, and even if there are some, it?s a weapon, which is realistically placed in the game (I?ve fired one).
Fourth, you may not think they have made a good COD since 2007, but every national reviewer, and millions of gamers who purchased the games would disagree with you. The majority of people purchase Call of Duty for the online play, it?s a huge and fulfilling experience, why should they remove something good, that works, from the next sequel?
Fifth, if you love single player games, like fallout, then buy those games, COD has always had an average campaign option, sure it?s stronger in some games, but it?s never really been amazing, at least in my opinion. I am a fan of deep, single player games, this game is my multiplayer experience, don?t take it away from me.
Sixth, if you don?t like the attitude of online players, don?t use the mic, mute players, or play with friends, it?s really that simple.

No.
I would have said so last year, but Black Ops is a great game. World at War? Terrible. Modern Warfare 2? The whole PC fiasco turned me off it. But Black Ops is the most fun game I've played on PC in a long time.
Oh, wait, you were talking about single player? Why in the world are you playing CoD for the single player!? That ship sailed a while ago. It's all about the multi now. In my opinion, they could ditch the single player entirely and focus even more energy on the multiplayer.
Not to mention that CoD is the biggest franchise in gaming right now. It brings in more money than most films. Taking CoD out of gaming takes out $1 billion + per year out of the gaming industry.
Stop being a video game hipster. Just because something is more popular than something you like more doesn't mean it's shit. It just means that people *gasp* have a different opinion.

I honestly don't think the right question is being asked. You're suggesting that Activision, headed by possibly one of the greediest people I've ever heard of, should stop making a franchise that sells millions of copies each year before the cases even hit the shelves. That's just not realistic. I'd rather play a solid single player game, too, but that's not going to affect CoD because it's so centered around multiplayer.thestig1214 said:
This is the sort of thing that the market will have to correct. For example, I really liked both CoD4's campaign and multiplayer, so I bought MW2. I thought MW2's multiplayer was an improvement, but the story was less exciting. Because I value story more than multiplayer, I didn't really care about BlOps. When it came out, I was too immersed with Fable III and The Force Unleashed II to bother with it. (Expanding on that, I thought The Force Unleashed II was a huge disappointment, so I'll just rent the third game.)
I no longer play the CoD series, but it's obvious that a lot of people do. For each person who says it's a horrible franchise, as we speak, there are 10 players who disagree and another 10 players too busy ordering air strikes online to care.
In the end, unless the quality of the games slips dramatically, CoD isn't going to stop or slow down until it's dethroned by another series. Hell, with the momentum it has right now, the CEO might get away with wanting to charge a monthly subscription to play online.
I just won't be one of the people paying or playing.
A Battlefield-esque call of duty would be fun.
I remember Battlefield 2142, that was great. In a lot of warfare games, one thing I have personally always seen really lacking is the presence of vehicles, which while maybe not really good when it comes to competitive play, pure skills and all that, seemingly reduces the warfare atmosphere. What manner of war is consistently fought with only infantry nowadays, or in the future for that matter?
Large maps with variety and vehicles with futuristic, yet grounded in realism, war game would be fantastic.
Simply cloning what's already been done without adding too much innovation however may be a bad idea.
