You probably won't find too many CoD fans here.

The only thing that's saved my faith for it is Zombies. They better deliver something great by the end of the map packs or else I'd lose faith in that too.

i liked the first morden warfare

but call of duty is not that "great" a game
sure it is good in that sense it is simple and alot of people play it
but as a form of game art it is really low

it is unoriginal, filled with cliches and a good example of that cancer that is plauging the game world

but again as a product build for entertainment it is very good

the only COD game i enjoyed playing was COD4, only because i played on a modded server where every now and then the only usable weapons were flash bangs

the randomness of that server and the great community it had was the reason i played, not because of the game itself

oh yeah that was fun playing on modded servers in cod4
i played on zombie maps and even sometimes on paintball maps

i also just for fun played on player made maps (one of them was the roof top map from mw2

The only fun thing about the call of duty franchise is black ops 2 zombies. They haven't been fun since CoD 3.

I liked the original Call of Duty and its expansion pack United Offensive.

I don't hate it, but it's unbearably unoriginal. It's the face of the FPS genre (considering its performance in the market currently), and that really bugs me.

I'd still play it if I had a choice between CoD or Madden.

I would say that I like it, and the idea that it's unoriginal is kinda dumb. Every video game about war has already been planned out and that's the same with movies too. I give em credit for hanging around this long.

I've never played any game in the series, as I've never had the interest.
They look pretty boring though, especially after games like Half-Life and Serious Sam.

it is unoriginal because it does not try anything new
which is good in that sense people are used to how it works
but also bad because it does not help move the game of the same genre to become something even greater

CoD is like a lttle kid who put on a silly hat and yell "look at me, look at me i am silly" every year
(and people still laugh at the boy some reason)

sure you can pick every game down to that mini atom that says this game copied from the first game ever made but that is taking it to far

I really enjoyed CoD4, but every game since has left me more and more disappointed. The campaign in CoD4 was fairly gritty, and at the time there wasn't a multiplayer shooter that was anywhere near as sleek and refined. For each subsequent release, I found that the multiplayer became more gimmicky in a futile attempt to keep the formula fresh, while the campaigns tended away from original ideas in favour of crappy action movie clichés. The first Black Ops was the last game I bothered with, but even then I bought it reluctantly. I only got as far as Modern Warfare 2 before I figured out where things were headed.

I will admit that the multiplayer can be a lot of fun if you play with friends though. So long as you don't take it too seriously it can be quite enjoyable.

yes i love CoD, the older game in the franchise were pure gold call of duty: World at war, is an awesome game, and i reccomend any shooter fan to play it.
it's after MW2 when the franchise started to rot. treyarch tried to save it a little with black ops, but activision didn't let them add enough innovations…

now with CoD ghosts, i think this franchise is hopless…

But yeah, I like CoD games.

I actually like my shooters to be kinda simple and CoD games are easy to just jump into and go apeshit with. I've spent somewhere around 360 hours on blops 2 alone and I'm looking forward to ghosts.

I loved World at War.
For Zombies.

I was that guy who did not care at all about Multiplayer, I just hung around Zombies because it was somehow so much fun for such a strange franchise. They unloaded fresh maps and neat gimmicks each Zombies map making them more diverse and enjoyable than the last, and that's why I loved World at War.

Then Black Ops.

It was the game I truly loved and stuck around with it for almost forever because of Zombies. It had so much exploration-wise, no match was ever the same. These maps were flippin' fantastic. Shangri-La, my favorite, I still find myself playing it and completing the very difficult easter egg with some people. They released the original four maps from World at War onto this game, and it was glorious.

Finally Black Ops 2.

I didn't know where the series would go from here after Moon, but Treyarch delivered, and I instantly bought. The maps were okay, but the story, the very thick and interesting story filled the gaps in the experience making this game more enjoyable than both games. The gimmicks were too gimmicky, but there was the story. The map was bland, well there was the neat characters. Mob of the Dead has my favorite four, and I constantly play that map just to hear them speak.

CoD took some rough turns, but Zombies made that turn more stylish. Zombies is ridiculously polished, and I loved every bit of it.,

By the way, that gif is totes wrong. Submachine guns usually kill in 3-5 shots and he was hit 6 times, one of them being a headshot.

I've only fully played Big Red One and World at War.
I play Multiplayer Black Ops 2 at times with friends, and it is a lot of fun.
But let's be honest here: Campaign is like an interactive movie.
The same thing happened to Final Fantasy and God of War these last years. You can't get lost.
There's the radar telling you where to go, and maybe there are a few different routes to take, but after all, the objectives follow a predetermined order.

I'm going to be a 90's kid here:
Take a look at the old Goldeneye and then look at the remake which is basically a CoD ripoff.
Not only did you lack a radar, but you could leave an objective behind without noticing.
I'm not asking for the games to be BattleToad level hardcore, but a little challenge would be nice.

I've played CoD 3, 4, World at War and Black Ops.
herpaderp call of duty is teh best game evurr
Call of Duty 3 and 4 is old, so i'll leave it as it is.
World at War has some challenge(especially the russian campaign)
Blops is a little easier to me.
I don't play it now though, because i have better games.

Yes…

Not my kind of game.

I mean, there's a lot of work and effort that gets put into these games, but I personally don't like them because they're far too realistic for me.

I'd rather play Nintendo games, or really any game that puts less focus on story and grit, and more on gameplay. That's just me, though. I try not to be too biased.

Not really, no.
But I do like Battlefield.

Apocalypse (DLC 4) was announced.

It has only one Zombie map.
Not only am I pissed, but also wonder why did they think that Multiplayer is better than Zombies? They also said that it's really their last DLC, so I think that the Zombies story is going to remain unfinished.
Which makes me sad.

This video sums up my opinion on CoD rather nicely:

I don't know what to say for the next installment. I'm a cat person, you see.

Hmm… I've played Call of Duty on my friends 360 (I'm a Sony guy, but I try to adapt). Anyway, whenever we play it's like a Tank Made of Diamonds that shoots flaming chainsaws (my friends), against a walking bulls-eye (me). It's not that I don't hate the series. I've only fully played Roads to Victory on PSP and I thought it was pretty good considering I'm not a regular FPS player.

The thing I've seen from recent Call of Duty games is that it isn't newcomer friendly. The campaign is more often ignored and people tend to jump into multiplayer and I've been drag into doing that a few times.

All in all the series is in a decline. The fanbase has the vocal majority – The "12 year-old" (with parents who'd rather let a video game teach them than the parent themselves). Then there is the unheard minority of people who just want to play for the sake of gaming.

So in short. I don't really like Call of Duty, but I haven't played the series like I do with other games so my opinion of it is all over the place.

Well, I like to play all kinds of games, so, when I played Black Ops 1, I enjoyed the campaign.

i played from cod4 till the most recent games. i am thinking of getting ghosts
