I disagree. The COD games have been getting better. The thing is, when COD adds the ability to create your emblem, battlefield adds fighter jets.Armored Prayer said:

I can make the same arguments you did for BF, yet I'M the idiot and MY opinion is wrong.
Community, mostly.
I mean, the game itself is fun, but I also know that it's one that most of my friends are going to be playing, which is going to make for some fun times. Personally, that goes a long way with me, because a lot of my friends prefer single player games. Also, most of them (and me too) are the types who don't stick with a single game for too long because there's a lot of quality stuff out there that also demands our time, and because a lot of the games I play that do have multiplayer are genres that the majority of my friends don't play much of (racing, fighting). This game is one that I know we're all going to be playing for a while.
Plus, and I might be in the minority here, I want to see what happens with Price and McTavish. I know the story was a throwaway in MW1 for some people, and I know that a lot of people hated what happened with it in MW2, but I personally enjoyed both campaigns. I'm interested in seeing how it ends.

Because its fun. Simple as that. The multiplayer is addictive, the new additions in terms of weapons and maps and new killstreaks are enough. Wih cod4 they found a great formula for fast paced arcade Online games, and they stuck with it. Adding anything radically new would ruin it by now, Making it a bigger more veichle focused game would completly ruin the experience, its why it can side side by side with battlefield and give different equally valid experiences. Ill play the crap out of MW3 and keep doing so. An engine update would be nice as its starting to look a little dated, but i doubt we will see that til the next gen consoles.
I was thinking about plain just not saying anything back to this but this really caught my attentionZarmi said:
And then followed by this
Way to completely contradict your own point by doing the exact same thing I did. Do you not appreciate the irony?
It really seems like you didn't read much into the conversation we are having, and if you did and actually agree with him, than you are like him. People like you who just completely condemn the way the industry in the way that you do by just saying "Everything sucks because it's new and things that are new scare me" really don't get a say anymore.
So once again, so I'll rephrase, people like you lost their right to having an opinion that affects the industry because people like you are the reason why the industry stagnates, like it is currently doing so now.
My opinion does matter, because people with my opinion are the reasons why games progress. Your opinion does not.
Not to mention that I'm not a "****". The guy was really getting on my nerves by acting like an elitist, so I took him down a peg or two, just like I'm doing now with you.
Edit: And I actually do shoot guns. Guess what? I don't shoot guns at people.
That is one of the more stupid counterarguments to people trying to downplay realism
I'm not hyped up about it, probably not even buy it but I know my brother and cousin will and I'll play it over at theres and enjoy it. If your wandering the reason why? cause despite its negative downfalls, yeah its not fresh or original anymore, few added features and it is starting to stagnate but it is also, genuinely fun. Its something I enjoy playing, it often just a fast paced laugh riot.
I think the biggest plus for the game is the fact that you can play online split screen, which means I can pop over to my cousins house (like I do at least once a week) get a few bottles in and well go online and have some fun. Don't think there really needs to be much more explanation than that, I find it fun... so I enjoy it. Not really one for playing it at home alone though, I'd get bored of it fast and stick something else on. However if I've got a few mates next to me or (usually) my cousin having a game, time just fly's by and we enjoy ourselves kicking major arse online.
Though as said, I won't be buying the game cause I hardly see the point, I wouldn't play it on my own for much and my cousin as it and I go to his house weekly with my MU so I'll just play it there, my money is all for going towards getting Skyrim which is a game I can enjoy at home

.Aren't all of these games in franchises similar? This one will continue the campaign, which some of us enjoy, and has significantly changed the way the game modes work. That's enough for some, in fact, most people. If you don't like the game, then that's that, but accusing those who do like it of being fanboys and buying the same game repeatedly is pointless. Personally, I like the look of the new stuff they've added in, but I'm dissapointed in the lack of ranked dedicated servers, or lean functionality. So whether I get it at full retail or wait for a sale is dependant on the length of the singleplayer.
