In the end, I think CoD gameplay and overall themes may cater to a broader audience. Settings with basis in WWII or modern day conflicts have been very popular in recent years, and a lot of gamers (especially the adult ones) may have problems digesting a near sci-fi like landscape and tone over more conventional settings. Me, I like a good mix, kinda like Half-Life and Half-Life 2!
My father hates most videogames, but he thought that Call of Duty (the original) was way cool since he's very much into WWII as a subject. I had to hook up my PC to our TV so he could watch me play! 
The Stalingrad levels made his mouth water, and if he could've mastered the controls, I'm sure he would have played it himself.
