That's exactly what I want. I don't know what point you were trying to prove, all of those games go for a different style/setting than Call of Duty and they prosper as a result. I think all of the ones you mentioned (Well, I didn't try ARMA or the new Deus Ex obviously) are fantastic. I want more of those.
My point is that, if given more of all of those, would you then find yourself yearning for some more gritty realistic shooters?

Still it seems that more gritty war shooters come out each year than say shooters like Bioshock.
I know theres better examples than that
This is my thing here. If all the modern-gritty-shooters suddenly became bioshock clones, I should think the allure would be greatly diminished if not lost altogether.
Point is: For these other games to be special there needs to be crude cash-hogs to pay for them, so just enjoy the cash-hogs for the mindless drivel they are, like B-movies. They won't be going away any time soon, after all.
And don't make assumptions about a game which no-one really knows anything about. It's a shooter, set in the modern day. Doesn't immediately mean it's bad, just like how a shooter set in an alternate objectivist past doesn't necessarily come out good.
