CoD kinda sucks only because it's just another crappy FPS whrer the only skill is sitting and playing it for hours and hours... it doesn't take any thinking
Define doesn't take any thinking? If you play any game that is even relatively balanced, against human players you should have to think. If you aren't thinking that's prolly why you're losing. You don't have to sit there playing it for hours and hours to get good necessarily. Building reaction time is definitely strategically advantageous but it is possible, especially if you have a team, to win through strategy. I mean I have managed to beat people with wall hacks (ergo the ultimate in reaction times) simply because they were not good at actually playing the game. Just because you can't take hours to think about every move you make doesn't mean there is no strategy, it just means you have to think quicker. Also, I'd say COD is actually far less about sitting and playing for hours in terms of getting "good" then pretty much any level up based RPG where you're simply grinding for hours so you can be "good" at the game. Any game worth its salt should actually require at least some play time before you can win at it.
On another note I don't really have a problem with them releasing COD games so fast. Again the dev cycle is not a single year, it is at least a two year cycle, probably more, as most companies have a bit of time in between when they are done with a development of their previous game. World at War was released in November of 2008 so do that math, it's been about two years since Treyarch last released a COD game. Not to mention MW2 as far as the PC market is concerned, was a total screw up. The lack of dedicated servers provided a laggy heck-ridden realm of filth
so this latest offering for the PC market offer significant and worthwhile multipayer enhancement. Just because you have quantity doesn't necessarily mean that you lose quality; and given that a good deal of the people booing the game here say that they either never have played COD or stopped playing before the original modern warfare I would say you should at least give it a shot before writing it off as just another war shooter. Initially I was extremely hesitant to play, or believe I would like, COD:MW but I tried it at a rave... I mean friends house :p and I ended up enjoying a lot more then I thought I would. If you don't like it, then you don't like it (the first rule of tautology club is...
) and I don't intend to force you to like but don't write it off as stupid because it's more popular then whatever game series you like. Remember going against the mainstream just because it is the mainstream is almost the same as conforming.
