I personally refuse to buy any more CoD games. Not because I dislike them (though that is a factor), but because they're popular and don't deserve to be, at least not nearly as popular as they are. If I paid $60 for the PC version of MW2 ($60 for a fucking PC game!!!), and, if we added on the map packs (which I didn't buy) that'd bring me to about $90. That's $90 for a 6 hours single player with no replay value and a broken multiplayer component. On the other hand, I spent $60 on Europa Universalis III. If you add the expansions that comes to $60 (and probably $80 when EU3: Divine Winds comes out >.>). With that I get nearly one thousand hours of play time in singleplayer (since I bought Heir to the Throne at least) and a solid MP component. The reason I'm making this comparison? They're both yearly franchises.
2007: Call of Duty 4, Europa Universalis III, and Europa Universalis III: Napoleon's Ambition (expansion)
2008: CoD: WaW and In Nomine (expansion)
2009: MW2 and Heir to the Throne (near complete remaking of the game)
2010: BlOps and Divine Winds (not yet released)
The thing is, with EU3 I get so much more. Free updates that change core game mechanics. Mods. An awesome community. The list goes on and on.
