Who cares man, I love COD and I'll keep on playing until I find I no longer enjoy it (which probably won't happen soon). Some people nowadays seem to care a lot more about the cosmetics of a game or how many years it has been in development as deciding factors to whether a game is worth playing. What they don't understand is that the most basic element a game needed, needs and will always need to be successful is FUN.
COD is fun, atleast to a majority of people. Its simple yes, but that simplicity allows most people to have fun, just like Mario or pokemon games. But for those who wish to invest time, they can truely get better than the majority. For those saying otherwise, try playing against people like Optic gaming, you'll get 1080 ladder stall wrist twist reload cancel reverse 360 no scoped off the top of a building before you even realise what happened.
Also the whole MW3 should have been dlc is also BS. Even if it is the same engine, they have made several improvements to the graphics+sound, added an entire new campaign, all new spec ops mission modes, brand new survival mode to the MW series, 16 multiplayer maps with brand new KS, guns, perks, etc. Add on top of that the insane stat tracking, group+clan support and facebook integration from the free portion of elite. Even if the formula remains the same, do people really expect all of the above features to have been released as dlc? No friggin way.
I understand that there are great games out there which are potentially much better than COD, but thats no reason to hate a legitimately fun series that gives a ton of value for your money. I blame EA for their stupid marketing ploys that have increased this whole "hating COD" is cool trend.
