I know people like to hate COD developers/Activision, and I can definitely see why. But take a moment to think about it from their perspective.

If this was your franchise and it has hit the mass market 20 million+ status, would you really all of a sudden change the entire formula around that fans quite obviously love? Would you listen to the 100,000 vocal people on the internet who are saying how the game sucks, or the 20 million that are non-vocal but are enjoying the game everyday and paying up for it every year day 1.

Also, look at pokemon, every year they come up with a new game which adds very little in terms of innovation but people still gobble it up (btw I myself LOVE pokemon and play it competitively, the irony lol). Even between generations, everything remains predictable.

This is unfortunately the case for many franchises that hit mass market, but COD just seems to get the hate always. Its really not their fault for not innovating, its out fault for not wanting innovation and they are giving us what we want. Simply put, we vote with out wallets.


This man speaks the truth!

with 25+ million sales and counting, I do not think Activision is concerned.

 

 

Looking at it, MW2, Black Ops and MW3 have combined for 75 million sales and that is just amazing for a non nitendo games.

 

It bigger then any non-nitendo series.

Nonetheless if I was Activision I would release like a spin off game which would easily get like 15+ million sales anyways and then release a new proper advance game in 2013.

 

 

I think COD does not deserve all the hate, they are the same thing over and over but it works well and is a lot of fun. The FPS campaign makes all the current ones look like small potaoes and the multiplayer is better then all other games apart from BF3 but that is only for certain gamers.

I played BF3 and it was okay, the campaign was just sad in comparison to a COD game.

If you don't care for innovation, more power to you. As far as I know, I gain jack shit from how much CoD sells or how much money Activision has. 

But im sure you'll buy the next groundbreaking - innovative 2D Mario/Kart, Pokemon or Wii *insert gimmick here* day 1, right?
