Depends if my internet is deciding not to act up or not. But that is not COD's fault, unless it?s not my internet at all but COD's servers being dumb.

No. I bought MW2, hated it, and left the series alone then on. As fluid as the gameplay feels, I dislike online multiplayer strongly, so the only thing left to the series for me, (the campaign)is wooden, too obviously scripted, boring, and without interesting characters or plot lines. I appreciate that this game is popular, and can see why; it's just not my kind of game.

Yay, it's fairly entertaining with friends and I don't think it deserves all the hate it gets, some but nowhere near the amount it has been receiving.

I've always loved COD single player, in every single game besides 3 which I haven't played and don't want to.
I never really liked Multiplayer, but that all changed with Black Ops. It's the only one I haven't been frustrated with. I love all the maps, and I really enjoy playing with the M16.

I love getting new and fresh threads.

OT: Call of Duty is hit or miss. Overall, due to Activisions newer principles on the series, it seriously handicaps the games. Very unfortunate because the newer ones have the potential to be fantastic. Call of Duty is pretty much Rain Man.

Yay.

Had some good times playing with friends on that game. Much for the same reasons I like Halo, is because it offers a good way to stay connected with friends out of state, and giving something to do instead of just video chat or something.

The story in the campaigns could stand to be better though, Black Ops has had the only story I found some interest in- and even that was rather convoluted, with some predictable parts as well- but it was better than the MW2, and Gary fucking Oldman as Reznov? hell yes.

CoD2: Yes. It was an amazing game at the time, and is still the only IW CoD I liked.
CoD3: It was okay. Not too special. It was fun for it's time. BiA did what it did much better.
I give W@W props because it's the last one where the name (Call of Duty) actually made sense.
MW1: Did not like. It was too scripted, and not nearly open enough.
MW2: Meh.
Haven't played Carl on Duty: Black Cops yet.
You mean "Call of Booty: Black Cocks?"
no shit

From playing CoD 4 for a couple months, I burned out on the series. Lost the addictive quality of unlocking stuff, which made me realized "I'm playing this game just to hear the EXP bar ping." So I stopped, and I might sell it for cash.

Love them. They only gripes I have with Black Ops is that they promised "more customisation" and MW2 had more customisation for games. Also, no local progression in Multiplayer. Everything is just given to you. This REALLY annoys me because I play 3-player local with a friend who has XBL and one who owns a PS3.

Meh. FPS is my favourite genre by far, but 'realistic' military shooters bore me. I'll take escapism (Wolfenstein) or serious realism (ARMA II) but life's too short to waste time in the middle of the road.
How many times need it be said?

Call of Duty is a lot of things, but it is NOT realistic.
At all. Not now, probably not ever.

Is a soldier running around holding two shotguns (fuck it, two of ANY GUNS), one in either hand, in any way realistic? No.
Is a soldier deciding "Y'know what, I'd like faster reloading, the ability to see claymores and other explosives and... I dunno, I guess I'll call in spy planes after TWO kills rather than three today." realistic? NO!


It's a common misconception, but the series (the newer ones especially) are not in any way realistic.
Fuck it, technically any game that lets you reload mid-clip and NOT lose the ammo or just keep that half-clip isn't realistic.
No, it doesn't work like that.

OT: Yeah, they're alright.

I miss world at war because it was the last one to have a story that you know actually happened, or could happen. It made it feel more epic. even if there was about half of black ops that is plausible, super secret nazi fights for super powerfull gas on abandoned ship in the south pole just kind of was retarded. the multiplayer is always the best, would like to see more vehicle combat, to make it more team based like bad company

For the amount of crap I (or anyone else) would give to the series, it's one of the only FPS games that has fluid controls and gameplay, and me personally, I always liked a fluid frame-rate for my games (Although BLOPs has tainted that for me on PC).

Nay.

I'm not a fan of shooters, be they first- or third-person. Outside of GoldenEye and CounterStrike, I haven't loved a shooter. I enjoyed BlOps and MeW and MeWTwo were okay but I didn't like the WWII originals. All in all, I vote nay.

This is totally off topic, but how is Arma 2 even close to realistic? The ballistics engine was atrocious, the User Interface was difficult to use, at best, at worst it was like the game was punching my eyes, the voice acting, or "voice patch" communication, whatever they call it, was... actually really hilarious, the AI were either retarded (your team) or god-like (the all-knowing enemies), the ground vehicles handled like someone put syrup all over the steering mechanisms, and the air vehicles... oh hell, don't even get me started. If they weren't acting like 8 people were trying to fly them in 12 different directions, then helicopters were shooting down super-sonic jets. I suppose they get points for trying, but since when does just trying make an awesome game?

OP: CoD is a "meh" series for me. I loved CoD2, hated 3, liked 4 and W@W, hated MW2, and find Blops extremely average. Blops is totally uninspiring in every way.

Fair point. What I meant by realistic is the settings are historically 'accurate' or contemporary, and so I'm shooting at regular soldiers or PMCs, or the Taliban generic foreign terrorists. I much prefer my targets to be the hordes of hell or aliens or similar, and if I must fight Nazis then I want them to be supernatural Nazis with doomsday devices. As a result I tend to skip all the CODs, MoH and anything with Tom Clancy's name attached to it.
