I agree with him. I don't care much for the looks (that's more an of UE3 thing than anything else) being copied but the gameplay and brutality are bigger to me. By the time Gears 3 rolled around, I could only put a couple hours into it before I felt bored. But the game itself is great. And it had been almost 3 years since Gears 2. But in between there were so many co-op third person games that played just like it or extremely close.
Call of Duty is experiencing the same thing imho. The games themselves are as good as ever. But the whole level up, XP, unlocks, perks, etc elements that they made extremely popular, are now in so many FPS and even other genres, it affects how quickly I get tired of playing CoD.
