I hope so....Call of Duty is just holding the Video Game Industry back with its yearly rehashes!!

Exactly this.

Can you actually come up with a sound argument as to how it's holding the industry back? Actually it goes someway to propping it up ..

it makes developers lazy. when developers have popular Ip's such as COD they only see it it as a quick cash ploy. So they release a yearly sequal until the milk gets dried up and let me tell you it will happen!!! Tough for Infinity Ward because when it does Activision will probably get rid of em because theyll be worthless in there eyes.

Its inevitable, COD was innovative at one point and used to be loved by the critics, but as it became popular everyone started copying it. You can't blame COD for it, blame the other developers.

Even if say COD did end up failing, whatever that innovates next will become the "next" COD and the market will start making games like that to profit. Its human nature to try and stay safe with what they know is safe rather than venture into uncharted territory. That is not to say there won't be any innovation, it will just come over time, not with every game as people here expect.

That said, I find it funny EA are blaming Activision for milking their franchise when they themselves are the king of milking things dry. Virtually every Fifa, Madden, NFL have been the same, but have those franchises died yet?
