God I want this franchise to die out

Couldn't agree with you more.

i dont. i want the game to be a quality product again


This is what I want too - I thought that COD 1-4 were very high quality. If Infinity Ward made another game like those 4, then I'd be happy to pick it up. Unfortunately I don't see that happening  - ever


Those 4?

So Call of Duty 3 was better than the original Black Ops? Seems legit.

And we all know Infinity Ward is the only company to make games in the CoD series.


Seems legit to me! And Infinity Ward is the only company to have made quality CoD games in the past

Infinity Ward didn't make CoD 3. But you said "those 4".

Explain what features you liked from Classic CoD games that are missing the modern games.

Right, right, right - that was my mistake in the way I worded it

In a nutshell: Classic CoD games had authentic gameplay, immersive experience, and interesting varied mission types. But most importantly (for me at least): the level of research that went into classic CoD games was extremely high. Infinity Ward used to know that realism depends on more than just graphics. They actually hired military historians as consultants and interviewed WWII vets about their experiences for the first few if I remember correctly. This made the games feel authenic. This high level of research carried on in CoD 4:MW and it shows. But it was all downhill from there and now the games have devolved into annual, mediocre, Michael Bay-esque multiplayer games - because Activision knows that sells.

Keep in mind this is all my opinion though - I value the level of dedicated research and realism the first 4 had (I played CoD up to CoD:BO and then stopped).


Yeah the series has jumped the shark in single player.

While I still like the storyline in the Call of Duty games. Most people have stopped caring about it.

If you're looking for a singleplayer experience then I would look elsewhere.
