I don't like it because it does nothing new each year. Yeah, there are small additions here and there but they never shake up the gameplay too much. Plus the campaigns are generally crap. However, the billions it has made Activision has allowed Activision to fund Destiny. So silver linings and all that.

I voted for poll answer 3

I'm not part of the mob yelling "go back to CoD" at people, but CoD-like play is annoying in any FPS. It's especially bad in Battlefield. Granted, I'm new to Destiny...but the CoD like play is much less of any issue here when compared to what's seen in BF4.

Same game year-in, year-out, terrible community, aimbots, modded UAV(always on), shooting through walls, quickscoping, ridiculous kill streaks, no true gun skill needed. Some reasons I dislike CoD.

CoD has sucked since CoD4 and has never been better than CoD2, yet Activision continues to pump them out, basically the same product, every year. I don't get why people still buy them. They went from fun, clean-cut FPS to a conglomeration of all the stupidest ideas of a community of children. The games are laughable now; the perks, equipment, and kill streaks have moved from the annoying to the absurd. I remember my friends and I sarcastically suggesting kill streaks for WaW to the Treyarch community manager one time we were playing with him, and one of us said attack dogs. Like, the stupidest, most cartoony thing we could think of. And a few months later, game comes out and bam, dogs. TL,DR the games have become a mockery and parody of themselves. CoD2 remains one of the best FPS games of all time.

I play it but, takes little skill and full of little kids and lag crazy. It is fun at times but maps and guns and just the load outs are becoming crap

[quote]I understand its a twitch shooter with lots of Rambos rolling around but how on earth is that any different than Destiny?[/quote] How exactly do I qualify this question? How is it different than Destiny? Let's pretend I'm your mother or wife etc., there's zero difference, they are both video games. "Love you honey, have fun playing your Call of Destiny and your Duty Of Warfare". [b]It's all perspective.[/b] But I guess I have to assume you want an actual analysis (from a gamer perspective) that you should be perfectly capable of by yourself. CoD is a franchise that started such a long time ago, way before the stereotypes forming, way before "LOL360NOSCOPE" . Since then, I believe a lot of people feel that the franchise has stagnated over its long life. [b]A valid criticism that's often used is that there's been very little major developments in either Single Player or Multiplayer for the CoD franchise[/b] If it's not broke, why fix it right? You could also make this same criticism of the last 3 Halo games. A lot of the negativity seems to span from the gamer communities that formed around the popularity of CoD inside of XBL/PSN (to be fair Halo was really a precursor to this as well). Communities composed by what seems like mostly 12-14 year old boys that sound like an Eminem album dubbed by a chipmunk. Varies obscenities and vulgar comments about one's mother were had by all. Another stereotype is that traditional douchy jock CoD gamer reminiscent of Scumbag Steve who is chugging Mtn. Dew while raining down killstreaks all up in yo face. Combine that with sponsor tie-ins like Monster Energy drinks and promotions by junk food companies, and CoD/Halo kinda epitomized the modern gamer douche bag that has no skill or taste in games, buys the same re-hashed game every year, then grinds matchmaking mindlessly until the next shallow iteration. As I said earlier, Halo is also implemented but it became much less popular and as such, less criticized. [b]Now for another fact. Most of the people I know that criticize CoD still play CoD every. single. year.[/b] Myself included. In that regard, sure its like Destiny, we're all criticizing and then logging on each weak like closet fanatics. But I don't see where the similarities are from there forward in terms of the gameplay. The PvP is not twitchy, or at least not by design. There are actual game impacting rewards. When in the hundreds of prestige hours of CoD do you get an actual reward that makes even the slightest alteration to your gameplay? The single player is also totally non-linear, it begins "in media res" and has no resolution, has rewards that go beyond the simple single storyline, has a multi-purpose raid etc. The voice chat is off by default, no one has invited me to a party to insult my mother. Totally different dynamic in terms of the player base in my opinion, they seem much older (at least the groups I've been apart of). So there's the analysis you could have done, all the reasons you already know. I guess you're a mom and these are both cute little video games with guns? [b] bang bang[/b]

The only reason I don't like CoD is because it used to be good and they ruined it by making it appeal more to casuals. The map designs suck now, the spawn are randomized and closer to push "fast-paced action", the weapons literally have no recoil, there's way more OP weapons than any other shooter, there's kill streaks you can earn without being on a kill streak, etc. it's not the game I hate, I love CoDs gameplay, I just hate what it has become.

It's a re-skinned version of the same game every year. I've bought almost every Call of Duty except part 3. The multiplayer is fun, but requires little skill. Even if you are the "best" a new player can still managed to kill you. It was a different story in halo for example. 1v1, if you were better than the other player, you would dominate.

-blam!- cod

I just am a gamer that believes, if it ain't broke why fix it? Since WaW and CoD4 they've tried to implement way too much. Which I understand because not everyone wants the same thing every year. But he'll I've been buying Madden for so long just for a roster update. Back to CoD, I never thought that 3 equal killstreaks were a bad idea. It's cool to have more but for what? More things for people to say is OP and this needs nerfing, look at these forums for proof. CoD isn't bad, it's just recycled material.

I used to love cod. Played the hell outta mw2 when I made a Franken-box360. Then blops came out... Awful. Then mw3... K. Then blops2. Many times better than blops 1... Now ghosts... Thats the first disc I've broken. It's gotten so boring.. Hell I'm 9th prestige an have no desire to hit max. It's just now what it used to be and after ghosts I'm not really even looking forward to aw

Kids like to hate on stuff just coz it's cool. That is all there is to it. No reason CoD should be hated over some other annual franchises, but I guess since it's been bestselling for so long, it just needs some hating. While we're on the subject, -blam!- COD!!! or don't, don't really care either way...

I haven't been a fan of CoD since MW3.

COD's not what it used to be

I find it just to be an over used, over hyped concept. I like something with a bit more flair. Dust 514.....it will never be as popular as Call of Duty but its significantly better.

I'm not a call if duty fan in general. Nothing against it, I just never really got into it. I like destiny and halo for their scifi shooter aspect.

I have no interest in COD and couldn't care less. I've played the demos of WaW and MW3, not interested. Of course, everyone here who defends Destiny says the same thing: Anyone who doesn't like Destiny will go to COD in November. But my rebuttal is not important.

Compare CoD to CoD instead of other shooters and you'll understand lol
