I've issued this challenge before and I'll do it again: Give me any game series and I will pick it apart the same way that people pick apart CoD. Any series can be looked at and declared "All the Same" by people who don't play said series. You can break any game down to it's core ingredients and would be able to call it the same as games X, Y, and Z; it's the little things that make it different and unique and therefore, worth purchasing.
I like to play every CoD that comes out but I never buy them new - only used and borrowings.
They are pretty much all the same under the surface, and I do enjoy them games and play them all.
I just think that the things that are different from game to game are the ones that are stupid.
"We are Infinity Ward. Our COD4 multiplayer was so good, this one with be better... because we added Akimbo machine pistols, shotgun secondaries and NUKES! We understood the criticism about the killstreaks, so let's make chopper gunners, AC-130s instead of an actual sense of progression!
Also, our story in COD4 was actually won't make sense but let's pretend it's a bit serious!"
-"Oh noes, Treyarch! MW2 had silly stuff!"
-"We know what to do! Let's put R/C cars and things that were never used in combat!
And our storyline will be even sillier but let's pretend it's SERIOUS BUSINESS".
I will let this slide as long as it's free/not giving profit to Activision. Some men just want to watch the world burn, etc
