Gotta love the haters... CoD has been as big a system seller this past gen as any other franchise out there for both 360 and PS3, but they'll never admit to that.

It's all good though, I'm fine with it... I'll get to enjoy next-gen CoD, and they can enjoy God of War 5, MGS 5, Uncharted 4, Killzone 4, GT6, FIFA '14, Dynasty Warriors 987, and Final Fantasy MCMLXVIII.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

God I want this franchise to die out


I used to feel the same way. but it is what it is. people still seem to like the gameplay. I personally dont, but others seem too. I do think that the next gen will be the best time for another shooter to try and take the crown. we will see.


I honestly feel that CODs success has actually done more harm to the industry then good and seeing it go the way of Guitar Hero would put such a huge smile on my face. but thats another thread and another discussion

Harmed the industry? How? By bringing in billions of dollars every year?

By being the only game millions of gamers play so they don't step out and try/buy new different games.  It hurts the industry when a chunk of gamers stop buying anything but the same game every year.

So its guilty of being fun and addicting? Here's a thought, developers should try and create fun original games instead of trying to copy COD. Maybe then people will buy their games instead.....

(1)Do you seriously think that if Call of Duty stopped releasing that people would buy something else? Many wouldn't buy anything at all and many would just move on to something like Battlefield. Not everyone is into video games as much as you are. Not everyone wants to buy dozens of games a year. (2)I don't see what the problem is with people buying only 1 or 2 games a year.

1- Of course not, if COD stopped being made they would throw their 360's into a fire of course.

2- We were talking about COD hurting the "industry", not hurting Activision.  If COD leads to less game sales of different developers & publishers games then that hurts the "industry", plain & simple.

What? I really don't understand what you're trying to say.

(1) Call of Duty hurts the industry, but if they stopped making it then it would only hurt Activision? LOL

(b) Call of Duty sells millions of consoles a year. Call of Duty keeps stores like Gamestop operational. Call of Duty keeps the video game industry mainstream.

(a) If they stopped making it, yes, it would only hurt Activision, since Activision is the only company that profits from COD.  It would help the industry as a whole since people would buy different games from different developers and publishers, spreading the wealth and supporting new creative types of games.  COD doesn't just hurt other members of the industry financially, it also hurts the industry from a creative perspective.  You said yourself COD is "addictive",  when someone is addicted to something they overuse it in an unresonable fasion at the expense of doing/trying other things.

(2) Does it really sell millions of consoles a year, or is that just something you said to fill space?  Used games are what keeps Gamestop operational, COD gives a one time boost to all retailers (not just Gamestop) once a year.  If these addicts didn't seek a once a year fix they could try more different experiences throughout the year.


I agree with Chris and I also would like to point out that because of it being so successful and rarely innovating, many publishers and developers have bought into the idea that this is what gamers want. It's the reason we see so many COD mechanics in so many different games. CODs success has put Green filters on Publishers that are willing to do anything to recreate that success unless it entails you know...creating something fun, new and worthwile

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi

Maybe these other companies should step up with a quality product that would make gamers want to stop playing Call of Duty? Isn't competition a good thing?

Look at the metacritic user score, IGN user score, gamespot user score for every COD game since MW2. If it was fun and addictng the user score wouldn't be so low despite so much hype and sales every year.

User scores are trolled by fanboys. Not exactly the best way to judge a game. Especially one as popular as Call of Duty.

If the games were really so boring and horrible as you say, they wouldn't be the most played games on PSN and Xbox Live. They wouldn't break records every year and people certainly wouldn't be buying DLC for these games. But they do so you're wrong. You're in the minority of people who hate Call of Duty.

Why not? I'm sorry if I offended you in some way but its true. You're part of a very small vocal minority. If I'm right, you probably haven't played a COD game in a while either. May I ask what was the last COD game you played, what you hated about it and what you play as a replacement?
