I wouldn't. I don't play the games (I played 3 and Black Ops, neither were all that impressive to me), and unlike all the irrational idiots across the internet, I don't hate it simply due to its popularity either. So, no reaction here.
Now, if they killed Rock Band and all the other rhythm games finally, that would make me happy just so that new DLC release sections of online marketplaces would stop being spammed by stupid song packs. I just want to find new DLC for a game I like, so the new DLC section should be the quickest way to get it, right? NOPE, all that you can find in that mess is Rock Band, Dance Central, Just Dance, Singalong Shitface, and whatever else all those stupid fucking games are all over the place. They're basically the "FIRST!" dipshits from YouTube and news article comments in video game form, and I would be a very happy guy if those franchises all got canned and the spamming stopped.

Am I the only one that finds it ironic that this thread, soon to be the most commented/viewed of the week, is filled with people eager to announce that they couldn't care less?
Something about this just doesn't add up.
Obviously, a whole lot of people do care. A lot.

They're both first person shooters that became known for their multiplayer more than their single player, have fanbases that are infamous/stereotyped for exactly the same things, were/are pretty much the definition of mainstream, and have been running a lot longer than they needed to.SirBryghtside said:

Question: why do people hate Call of Duty? I ask because I seriously don't know. For me, it's a bit more personal. I absolutely SUCK at FPS'and therefore, I get less than zero enjoyment out of them. But the big reason is that I work at Gamestop. Anyone who works at Gamestop understands this. When every other person comes into the store wailing about CoD after the midnight launch made your life a living hell, you sort of want to punch the bastards. And they aren't even NICE about us being out of a pre-owned copy. The dicks...
Sort of ruins the franchise. Fireworks and happiness all around if that shit was canceled.

I'd call up one of my friends who thinks CoD is the greatest thing EVER and laugh at him. Then I'd never give it a single thought for as long as I lived.
I would expect to see the following headlines the next day:
"EVERY CHRISTIAN AROUND THE WORLD RENOUNCES FAITH IN FAVOR OF SCIENCE"
"SCIENCE PROVES GOD AND JESUS EXISTED"
"FORMER CHRISTIANS VERY CONFUSED, WORLD PREPARES FOR HELL"
"TWINKIES GO BAD"

The reason I dislike it is not so much that its a bad game: its not. (I personally don't like modern fps's that much but that is not the reason). The problem is that there are 8 of them and each one is simply not different enough to the previous ones, if COD was coming out more like once every two years and they tried to make each one a larger improvement on the last one I wouldn't care as much but as it is it seems a waste to keep making the same thing and not try something new.
Meh. It's not as bad a game as everyone makes it out to be, but at the same time, it's not ungodly good. It's just a game (franchise).
I'd would wonder why.
It makes no sense for Activision. They would be potentially losing millions of dollars.
