Mostly theres games ppl hate with a passion. I will probably love MW3 until the next modding wave hits (god my mailbox was filled with pay me for something that will make u look good), Halo was a game i used to love,(kids get annoying fast.) and without bungie, its just dead now. GoW, always liked the gameplay,(never could get the switch to shotgun/hammerburst online down right), but now i just wanna see the stroy end. If you love a game, dont listen to trolls. Its impossible to reason with something with low intellgence/poor self-esteem.

Just because somebody doesn't like a game doesn't make them a troll/doesn't mean they have low intelligence or poor self esteem. Don't say stupid shit like that.

Like at least one person has said, it's less that they aren't changing the game mechanics, and more that they are charging $60 per game when it's only a re-skinned MW2.

Modern Warfare 3 is getting hate? You should have seen Modern Warfare 2. I think EA has succesfully redirected fire from Activision. Youknow EA, always helping out their fellow publishers. Being nice to eachother *Heartwarming*

Fellow Escapee's I would love for some feedback on this because I really don't get it and to be honest I'd like some insight to the hate that Halo and Gears get too.

So this is my problem, I use IGN a lot and on the trailers and previews and stuff people comment (like you do) and on COD pieces (no pun) there is so much hate towards it, personally I love the games and if it weren't for dues ex coming out next week I'd be working out a way to fix my black ops, but I read the comments and they are all so stupid for multiple reasons, from the the somewhat intelligent people "Why do people buy this game it never changes?" to the people who just give me more reasons to hate them "Anyone who plays this game is gay". I cannot for the life of me realise why people hate the game, it's fun, millions of people love the series, it's a given some of them aren't the smartest bunch but still the core mechanics don't need to change cause they work so well and then they are just minor additions on top of that to enhance the experience but at the end of the day the most important thing is that the games are just fun and that's why I buy games and most likely why you guys do but if you think you have a good explanation to why there is so much hate to these games then please don't be afraid to answer.

Also, Halo and Gears, is there deserved hate there? GOW2 was a huge letdown because THEY changed the core mechanics and I don't know why but Halo just get's boring after a bit but there still good experiences while they last so yeah what do you guys think?
Did anyone say "searchbar" yet? Yes? Seventeen so far? OK.

A whole lot of gamers are immature adolescents who don't yet know enough about the world to persuade a girl to kiss them. That's as good an answer as you'll ever need, bearing in mind that "___ hate" is not at all the same thing as "I'm tired of seeing them make $60 games that last for four hours and replace compelling gameplay with pretty cut scenes in the ___ series." Some of the latter accusations that have been leveled at MW3 are more than fair, and some are exaggerated.

Again Haters gonna Hate, if you personally enjoy the game then ignore them. I'm not a fan of said series of games (mostly because i have a hatred for Activision) but i let people who enjoy the game enjoy the game.
Every time I read haters gonna hate I think of Dave Chappell's R. Kelly parody.

Drip drip drip!

I enjoy the series, and I only started playing since MW2... It is different to all the other games I have played (I was a Medal of Honour fan, but the latest medal of honour killed that series for me...)

As a reasonably new player to the series, I cant wait for MW3 to come out. I found Black ops was a better game than Battlefield 2, mainly because BF2 forced on me, along the same lines as CoD games are forced upon people as being bad games...

The sooner people stop making threads like this and the threads "Why to people like ________" "Why dont people like _________" etc, the sooner people will have the ability to make up thier own minds on the games... and stop feeling presured into hating / liking things...

Now I know this will generate hate (I Hope not, but I'm expecting it...) So I appologise in advance that I am nearly totaly unaffected by peer pressure...

I think it's coz it's cool to hate something popular LOL!!!!111
Naw, honestly, the bandwagon hating thing occurs in lots of pop culture, and applies to anything including games. Same reason I feel why some people hated Metallica and KoRn, and Michael Jackson, Halo and COD.

But also I think because, well to me anyways, the first time to CoD franchise exploded on the scene in this generation was CoD4: MW, and since then has done little to top that or even reach its greatness. I like spec ops in MW2, but that's about it really. I know I'm not talking for the masses, I mean the game is loved by millions and I had a thoroughly good time in all the games, but their recycling of material, and resulting fanbase are bound to expose every nuance of wrong in the games. Such as balancing, story, features and functionality, and all the rest of it.

Another thing (should've put these in point form, damn) is the overshadowing of other games that probably deserve as much accolade, but get beaten to dust and forgotten because of the CoD franchise. I liked the latest Medal of Honor, and some other more realistic shooters, which many never bother to try because of the juggernaut that is CoD.

If you haven't watched that Jimquisition about Defending Call Of Duty, the best answer would probably be there somewhere.

I'm a fan of CoD, love the online, have fun with it. I however find their lack of innovation not worthy of yearly amounts of my money. I refuse to give Activision the full price on half a game. Maybe MW3 will have a great campaign, but based on the way time's gone, I'd say it's an online game with a tacked on single player/co-op

I love the series, hate the repetition, and find they don't deserve my money straight up, especially when I can indefinitely rent it from work for free

I feel like Battlefield 3 is going to be a much better game because Activision and friends got a bit lazy.

As for the people expressing their opinion with retarded statements like "Anyone who buys this game is gay" well, its simply because they feel the need to force their opinion on others.

I don't hate the game itself, I just hate that most of the games I like are very under-the-radar and my friends don't take the gamble at playing them. I guess I feel bitter for the games I like because there are a lot of people who won't give it a chance.

Gets hate for same reason sports franchises get hate. Wildly successful, and yet woefully unambitious from year to year.
The Condiments speak the truth.

Call of Duty is a stagnating franchise. They are being released frequently, with few additions, and what is added doesn't really change the feeling of the game at all.

Plus, some people such as myself don't care for the basic structure of the games to begin with.

Mostly because its popular. Either people ahte it because its popular, which apparently is a reason to hate things like casual game and facebook, or because its so big that people just tend to comment on it more then less know titles and thus find more issues with it due to it being big.

I hate it since it overshadows the great games that come out for consoles. I bet MW3 will somehow sell more than Sonic Generations and The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword combined because your average Joe Shmoe will be like "CALL OF DUTYZ GAIZ! IT'S SO HARDCORED AND IT TOTALLY MAKES ME A HARDCORE GAMER!!!!!!!" When it doesn't and they're just annoying. The 12 year olds also make it annoying. I'd rather play a game I know is fun than play a game I hate just because my friends are playing it. Litteraly, I gave COD 4, MW2, and Black Ops all chances and they sucked. But Sonic Colors, which I got on release was more fun than Black Ops and I got Black Ops for my Birthday in February. It just shows that I still have a game on the Wii I got in November than the game I got half a year ago and then sold in half a year. Sure, the first Sonic game I played was Sonic 1 on Sonic Mega Collection for Gamecube, but still, I've been playing Sonic since I was 7 or 8. Sure, I'm 15 now, but if a 15 year old in my school plays a lot of COD and I don't, it somehow makes me the bad gamer when I know that all they play are FPS'.

Sure, I play a lot of platformers but at least I have fun when I play them and not yell into a mic every time I die. I know this is long, but I'd seriously rather play the new Dragon Ball game which I know isn't going to be a huge improvement from Raging Blast 1 and 2 since they're yearly games, but I'm seriously tired of COD. It needs to die. A lot of people say Sonic needs to die, but I'd rather play with shit with Sonic's name on it (and they did that and it was called "Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)" and I still played it) than play any COD game. I'm not mad just very irritated by the amount of undeserved praise it gets. Okay this is getting a little to long, and I think I proved my point. So, yeah. I'm sick of COD and it needs die.
