Also bearing in mind that these games may competitors to CoD but they were both rated pretty badly so this is probably a bad example to use.MacJack said:*Le Snip*
As for cod being for 4 hours? Well their competitors moh and homefront were 3 hours with a far weaker campaign.
And to answer your question. There are some parts of the gaming community that's just full of trolls. There's no denying it it's true. And since CoD is not only a mainstream game but has been blamed for the recent rise in Generic FPS's (Generic is arguable) and has also been blamed for other games following the same mechanics as CoD which people don't like. So the 'trolls' will criticize CoD due to this.
Now the reason why CoD is disliked by most people (Partly projecting my own opinion here) is that it rarely brings any thing new (Most unique addition in CoD 7 is probably Replay IMO), the fan base is fairly bad (Trust me I've raged at the community of CoD plenty of times) and this is the 8th game. Let's be honest when you've released essentially the same game almost 8 times it's obvious you're milking the franchise.
I can understand why people like the game though but I don't.
And that was my opinion.
