Like I said, you have your beliefs, I have mine. I'm not gonna force mine on you, and I'd appreciate it if you'd do the same. 

 

I can't say a connotation is wrong because there is no right. The same thing can have a thousand different meanings to a thousand different people. 

If everyone believes it to be true, then what am I, nobody? I'm sure that there are just as many defenders on my stance as there are of yours. 

Also, if you're definition of an RPG is correct, than Modern Warfare 2 as much or more of an RPG than Oblivion.

EVERYONE follows connotation. Even you. 

I am not forcing my beliefs, I am telling you that you are wrong. How hard is this to accept?

CONNOTATIONS are what are accepted about what a word means!  Enormous has a different connotation from big, and if you deny this, you're just being an ass whose trying to validate his own argument by putting up strawmen.

"I am sure I have just as many defenders."

WRONG. The connotation is the implication of a word. Implication comes from what the consensus of the population assumes it to be. That's what an implication is! And therefore, the majority of people use connotations. They have a generally agreed upon meaning, and if you disagree with this, you are incorrect.

Also, Modern Warfare 2 has the elements of an RPG. How hard is this to understand? It isn't an RPG, just has elements of it.
