Okay, before you post in the poll please bear in mind it is designed for ONLY people who have played MW3 and Black Ops, and is only interested in which you prefer out of those two. The poll is missing several alternatives (such as playing Black Ops first), this is by design. If you do not neatly fit into a category then please feel free to post, but refrain from voting in the poll.

The idea for this came from a discussion on another site where MW3 and Blops were being compared. I am hypothesizing that a person's first modern COD game affects their current preference. The Escapist seems a perfectly unscientific way to test that theory :)

Also, for those who hate COD, rather than either leave you out of the poll, or have the results skewed, I added the final two options. Ignore which game you played first, and vote for which one you hate least.

My first was the original Modern Warfare, and I loved it. I enjoyed World at War a lot, too. Then Modern Warfare 2 came out, and it was addictive and fun as hell, my friends and I stayed on that for years. Black Ops is where I think the series went bad, with boring guns, maps and with the money system. Campaign and Zombies were still fun, but the focus is multiplayer and it had nothing that MW2 had to keep people playing like a variety of challenges, having to get headshots for camos, having to get kills for attachments, and so on. That only lasted about 3 months for my group of friends. Then Modern Warfare 3 came out, and it was simply a disaster. Survival got old very quickly, campaign was disappointing compared to the first two Modern Warfare's, and the multiplayer had a million problems, but the lag is the main thing that killed it for me. It only lasted my group of friend about two weeks, and that's why I prefer Black Ops.
