I didn't, my brother did. The reasons he bought it were that he's a large fan of the CoD series and because that's about the only thing most of his friends ever play.

Splitscreen online multiplayer. And pretty good multiplayer at that. The sheer ridiculousness of the singleplayer storyline also served to amuse me for a time. But mostly the multiplayer.

I bought it because I got it on sale for like thirty bucks a few months after it came out, I only bought it then because I didn't have a multiplayer game for the PS3, since I usually play Xbox 360. I had a few friends with PS3's who were playing it a lot at the time, so I figured for $30 it gave me something to do with them.

I got it for the offline multiplayer. Living in the Mess we don't have good internet for gaming, but we do have LAN games and Splitscreen games!

Also the bot mode can be fun!

I didn't.
I tried the free weekend on Steam, and realized it was the worst online experience in my life, so I went back to good old TF2.

That one trailer with 'Gimme Shelter' by The Rolling Stones in it. And I've never played the multiplayer.

I never did. Never liked war shooters and I absolutely loathe any shooter on a consoles, to each their own.

I mostly got it for zombies, but I did enjoy the single player as well.

mostly for zombies, and partially because i wanted to see where they would go with a post-ww2 reznov. i was disappointed.

World at War was, in my opinion, by far the best Call of Duty game to date. it had relatively interesting characters and was sufficiently action-ey without being as formulaic as the last 2 Modern Warfare games (seriously, did anyone else notice the stuff MW2 blatantly copied from The Rock, one of the most formulaic action flicks of all time?).

jump to black ops and the soviet union is turned into the same generic Op For that's been in every other CoD game and most other modern FPSs as of late.

the heroes of Stalingrad deserved better...

to see what all the fuss was about, having stopped paying attention to the series around CoD 3

I got it for the single player and zombies.
Ironically, all of my friends that also got it for the zombies either sold the game or stopped playing it.

Because I've loved every addition to the Call of Duty games since Call of Duty 4 (haven't played any of the previous games.) I bought it mainly for the multiplayer component, but the campaigns in COD games have been consistently solid and enjoyable. Was a bit bored with the zombies mode after playing it a lot in World at War, but is was also solid and enjoyable.
