    Its because its easier to play and runs at higher fps. People dont seem to care for detail. It looks pretty so it must be good. I play BF3 over MW3.

    Not to mention theres little choice for games right now, christmas is here after all.

    Millions of people buy cigarettes, doesn't mean it's good for you or at all enjoyable. They smoke cigarettes because they have an addiction to feed and if they don't do it they end up feeling god-awful.

    So yes, anyone who still buys Call of Duty games or Cigarettes, are stupid.

    Also, being oblivious to the mediocrity you surround yourself in is not something to be proud of.

    Religion is the perfect example of how billions of people can all be wrong.
    Not trying to say that religion is or is not true, but if Christianity(or whatever other religion) is true, every non Christian is wrong and vice versa.

    I am not Religious, but Religion is not always about "oh yeah God exists, bow or u go to hell", some people find faith to keep driving them forward, so it helps their lives.

    Lets not get into this though, id write a 100000 word essay for and against Religion.

    Wow... lots of MW3 hateful passion going on here.

    I don't have the game, so I can't really say much. I'll say this, though, if they made that much more new content for a game that I loved (like Resident Evil 5)... I wouldn't care much about the lack of a new game engine. If they had simply cut it all up and made into DLC for MW2, it would probably cost more than they're asking for the game.

    Except one pays for games so the developer would be willing to progress forward, not stagnate until it runs out of suckers to leech money from. Sadly, Activision can do that because their supply of mindless leeches doesn't seem to be dwindling.

    All we're going to see is the MMO crash all over again, and in fact, it's already happening. There will be CoD clones everywhere, then complete utter failures, if they have an offline story mode, they will blame it on piracy, then the switch to an entirely different system because the original didn't work out for anyone but the original.

    I really hate industries. "Hey guys, remember that blunder when we tried to copy something and it didn't work?" "Nope." "Me either, let's try it again.
  8. And the hard work of reskinning maps/buildings and renaming MW3 and Black Ops to MW4 and BO2 has already begun ladies and gentlemen. Even now, the marketing drones are interviewing movie starts to star in their next biggest and baddest COD commercial.

    Who needs innovative game design when you can just resell the same game over and over? Activision is on to something here - EA has been doing annual releases of sports games for 2 decades!

    It's interesting that the COD fans haven't stopped at MW1 and realized that the next 3 games were exactly the same, but yet proceeded to drop $180 ($60x3).

    The sad part here is NOT that COD made $1 billion in 16 days, but that so many people actually enjoy buying the exact same game over and over and over.

    Why would developers both to create games like Limbo and Braid and Super Meatboy when they can just re-badge the same crap?

    Oh boy, when next generation of consoles launch, that's another 5-6 Call of Duty games......
  9. good thing I paid $22 for this game which btw sucks mp is infested with aimbots only thing worth it is the survival mode in sp .

    Lol you didn't notice that it got hacked the day it was released did you? I think I saw this on a video for one of the consoles also...
  11. Im glad I didnt pay $60 for a map pack. Cod released 3 map packs for blackops i believe... now they took this **** to a whole new level......
