I'm not meaning to insult you but it sounds like you don't like aiming in shooters or aren't very good at it, which is basically the most important element in a shooter. Also I'm not sure who you play GoW with but I can assure you at high levels of play GoW takes great skill in aiming, although admittedly less than games like Halo.

The reason people love Modern Warfare is because is it gives them a shooter with crazy action, a considerable skill gap allowing competitive play and it does this all in familiar settings with guns that actually exist so people can relate to the gameplay. I'm not a huge fan of the series but I understand why people love it.

i have different experiences in the gow series.  i made it out to seem like all i do is blindfire.  i do aim when i need to, it's just that i don't like to.  to be honest, it depends on the people i play.  i have played in some pretty tough battles and have had my fair share of one-sided beatdowns. generally, i find that i perform better in the game when i do not use the aim button.  it sounds weird, but it works for me.  i know where the bullets are going to go when i shoot because of how much i have played the game, so i see no need to hold down the aim button before shooting.  i feel like it just makes it more difficult for me to move

Blindfiring is important in GoW and I use it too but there are many instances where it just far more advantageous to actually aim. Although I understand how you could get away with it since movement is almost as important as aiming in GoW so you probably out maneuver your opponents.
