I've been looking through the forums and it seems no matter where I look there's always a group of people just aching to grab their pitchforks and torches and lynch Call of Duty. It isn't just dislike, which is understandable if it's not you're cup of tea. I know they're not perfect games, but their still pretty good.
Can someone give me a good reason for it? I really don't see why people bash it the way they do. It goes beyond just saying Battlefield is better or I can't really get into it.
If it's gritty real world feel, well that's kinda their selling point. I like Bulletstorm, Painkiller, Halo, Duke Nukem, and Mass Effect. All bright, colorful, and sometimes goofy shooting games with essentially no realism, save for the whole bullets hurt thing. So the whole gritty real thing isn't overused.
If it's the community, I've played a metric ass ton of it on both my PS3 and my buddy's 360 and haven't really come across a lot of jack-offs. Plus most of the young players are actually pretty civil. The ones that piss me off are the drunk frat boys screaming in their mic.
If you say the gameplay, it's pointing a gun and shooting, what's there to innovate, besides how you rank up and different match types. People exploiting glitches and trying to Rambo their way through the other team on multiplayer.
If you say Activision is a soul sucking, money hungry corporation that is only concerned with profit. Welcome to the real world.
There are things that I don't like about the series, i.e. Black Ops fucking pointless ass currency system.
Fantasy: Oh you don't have to unlock all the weapons now just the ones you want, yay.
Reality: You have to unlock all the weapons, titles, and emblems, then you have to choose which ones you want using your limited amount of CoD points, well that's shit.
It is really the only thing I despise about the series.
But is everything else just hate for hate's sake or are people really just shallow little pricks that just shit on everything anyone likes.
