I don't understand the COD hate. It's an easy to play, always high quality, big budget game. The same for Mario. That's why people, who would not be playing games anyway, playing those games. It doesn't eat sales from other games (besides COD clones like the new Medal of Honor, Homefront, etc.) Even the similar high quality military FPS games profited from it, especially Battlefield. So why the hate? It makes the industry bigger, and those people may try other games and hopefully other genres.
I do understand, that there are idiotic developers/publishers, who want their game to be more action oriented, because of the COD-love, like Capcom with the Resident Evil series or EA with the Dead Space games. But these developers simply didn't want to make a unique game, their vision, they use Activision's/IW's/Treyarch's vision. (hehe Activision's vision... sry, personal moment.) They just wanted to be like COD, and that's what makes them clones. I don't think if there would be no COD, RE6 would've been good. They would've used another franchise, and didn't make a game they like. So don't hate COD, or the developers. Hate the idiots, who don't make games, just copy them.
