It's the new Counter-Strike.

Modern Warfare is the first high quality / high budget game that has capitalized on some things that made Counter-Strike so popular - the setting (modern weapons) and the gameplay (fast kills -> twitch combat). It isn't a coincidence that CoD's popularity skyrocketed when IW took the series out of WWII, and into the present.

Some major differences, like the lack of rounds or its focus on consoles have made it more accessible. Throw in a few other "improvements" (perks, leveling system, kill streak, graphics), and you get a massively popular game.

Counter-Strike is way better than Call of Duty.

Well, I agree! I never said otherwise.

Call of Duty is probably more accessible, though, which was what my post was about.
