I actually decided to read the whole article and it is very well-written. We both joined in on the CoD phenomenon back in CoD 4. MW2 was also my favorite of the bunch as well. Treyarch said they weren't going to play it safe, they were going to do things differently and give gamers a true "next gen" game. Although I'm not quite sure exactly what a "next gen" game is yet, they made quite a few changes since Black Ops 1. A lot like Halo 3, this was Treyarch's third installment to the CoD series. Both Halo 3 and Black Ops 2 were the most refined of the bunch. Honestly, I was always a Treyarch-hater and fully followed Infinity Ward. Nothing against IW, but Treyarch is slowly winning me over. I can't wait to see what they have in store.
