If you hate CoD, why do you keep buying it?

[Kyle Roberts]

I only bought black ops for zombie mode After Mw1 it went downhill and they started milking it for money judging from all the evesdropping i do on my freinds they Like it because it makes them feel skilled (As impossable that is on a game with more overpowered weapons then a 40 foot giant laser cat of destruction)But i just really dislike it Unless Mw3 proves me wrong.

Oh and they have ran out of wars to make games about so unless they do a nazi zombie game im not enjoying it.

Or i may hate it because im russian so shooting russains brutaly and occasonaly being forced to stab them to death may not be the most fun thing.

because hate is just as important as love.
Honestly, I loved black ops if only for the zombie mode, gives me something to do with a friend that doesn't get old very fast, especially if you suck at shooters.

I don't buy it, nor play it, because it doesn't appeal to me; nor do I hate it exactly, I'm just tired of hearing about it, which makes coming into this topic somewhat less than logical.

I just hate FPS's... there... that's it... there's my input into this.

 

[Cheesus333]

Bizarrely enough, I don't think the people who actually do hate it are the ones who are buying.

Personally, I liked Modern Warfare a lot and MW2 was enjoyable as well, but I didn't get WaW or BlOps cause they didn't appeal to me. I'll almost certainly be getting MW3, though.

I don't buy Call of Duty and never will.I am not much of a FPS player anyways but to each their own

 

[ReservoirAngel]

I don't. I will play each new version just enough to deduce that yup, it's the exact same shit as the last one, then I will move on to playing GOOD games.

 

[Sacman]

I don't the first and only one I actually bought was MW2...

 

[No_Remainders]

Didn't you know that it's cool to hate popular things?

I actually like them. Shrug

 

[Neverhoodian]

The last CoD game I bought was the first Modern Warfare, and it was only for the single player.

So no, I don't "keep buying it." I don't necessarily "hate" the series either, I'm just not interested in it.

 

[Phoenixmgs_v1legacy]

It's a safe buy. Tons of people dont have enough money to make risky buys such as Vanquish or Mirror's Edge not knowing for sure if they'll like them. CoD is always a safe bet, you'll know you'll play the singleplayer, enjoy the co-op and probably get some weeks of gametime out of the multiplayer.

COD is not a safe buy, even the online is extremely lacking in features, the games don't even have proper clan support. The gameplay of the COD is a simplified FPS that is very polished. I know going in I'm at best going to get decent gameplay. I'd rather take a chance on a game that could have great gameplay than one that 100% for sure won't have great gameplay. Mirror's Edge and Vanquish are so much better than any COD game.

OT: I don't buy the COD games. The only COD I've ever bought is COD4, which was my 1st online FPS experience and it was fun for awhile. WaW went back to WWII. Then, MW2 was so unbalanced and broken. By Black Ops, I just stopped caring.

 

[Dogstile]

I actually love cod. Its a love hate relationship, occasionally it screws me over via lag, but its actually extremely polished. In fact, I went back and played cod2, and realised that while I still think cod2 is the best cod evar!!!!!!!! (look, excitement!) they really have improved the series.

 

[Shameless]

I used to love COD, but MW2 killed the franchise for me.

 

[SkinyJim]

I don't think COD is a bad series. Just way overhyped and overpriced. I only just recently bought my first Call of Duty (number 4, Modern Warfare). That was because I was offered it for an extremely cheap (for COD) and reasonable price, about $8 US. The only reason I don't buy another Call of Duty is simply because I don't want to pay such high prices for it.

 

[Calico93]

Blops was my first COD game.
Its alright, was just boring
No more COD for me
I just hate people saying its the best FPS game because its the most popular

 

[TheDarklite]

The only Call of Duty game I own is Finest Hour on the ps2. I haven't purchased or played any of them since.

... Now, if they made a Borderlands DLC every year....

 

[Zantos]

I keep buying it because I actually continue to enjoy it. I then actually then support it when people are starting their "Call of Duty is destroying everything" threads.

 

[de5gravity]

I've never bought a single Call of Duty game, but playing MW1 with friends in splitscreen a few years ago was fun.

 

[joshuaayt]

I don't. I dislike the series, and openly defend said dislike if pressed. Your logic is very much like that used when people criticise politicians- "Well, why did you vote for them, then?"

I *didn't* vote for them. In fact, I went out of my way to vote for anyone but them, but my voice alone is not going to count against the millions who disagree with me.
