As far as sales figures go, the Call of Duty franchise is the biggest thing to ever happen to gaming. In fact, its moneymaking potential is making Hollywood blockbuster films blush with their inadequacy to compete. So I think it’s pretty fair to say that there are a lot of people who like Call of Duty.
So why is the series so popular, and why do people spend so much time with it year after year?
Following the Wii U and 3DS servers being taken offline, Call of Duty Black Ops 2 and Ghosts are officially dead.
Call of Duty players are jumping into Black Ops 2 for the final time before its Wii U servers go offline for good.
GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 leap up due to summer sales
Wow, good games never get old I guess.
CoD will always be a beast of a franchise, and how awesome is it that you can just boot it up or pop it into your Xbox and play, MS BC is really a neat feature.
because the gameplay is simply awesome
Because its easy, which isnt a bad thing but thats why.
Same reason everyone returns year in year out to play pokemon. It's just fun.
It's a fun, pick up and play, fast-paced shooter. It managed to find the right balance between realism and arcade so that people can recognize the weapons and the technologies used, while still remaining forgiving enough so that you don't die without having a chance to fight back.
The campaigns are short, but full of set pieces and never really have the player go through an extended period of time without action.
Call of Duty is basically like a Michael Bay movie; it's simple, action-packed and a lot of people will buy it. It might not be the best game of the year, but it certainly is entertaining.
it's really fun, despite what awesome cool "core" players say on here. COD4 was a masterpiece to core players, until it got popular, then they didnt get to feel different and cool for playing it. same sad story with the sudden hatred for WoW. If a franchise becomes successful, it gets hated on by "core" players.
COD is really fun, in my opinion the black ops franchise is more fun that MW.
