GNT: Trolling, hacking and cheating are just some of the words in which the gaming community would associate with Activision’s record breaking series “Call of Duty” which seems to exceed the heights which the previous version of the game year after year. With the game being hailed as the “Multiplayer Revolution” by some areas of the media, many will wonder if the COD train will ever slow down. Within the community though, there are many who dislike Activision’s running of the game as they see it as a chance to make even more money and, at the same time, not to put too much work into the game. If this is the opinion of many in the community then why is the game so popular? With many seemingly reluctant to even try the game, how can so many gamers be new to this gaming legacy? It’s time to go for a 25 kill-streak and Nuke the facts.

I believe that most people who hate CoD on the internet don't play it. Just because it's the game that sells the most every year, it doesn't mean that everyone plays it. More like it's a game that divides gamers like no other game does and has a huge amount of sheep who buy it every year and a huge amount of people who hate it.
There are games that produce more passionate reactions on both sides and games that produce less.
Some games don't get that much attention which means that they can only have so many people who like it or hate it. CoD is a very known franchise and the more popular something is, the more there are people to like it and hate it. Which is why it sells so much but still gets so much hate.
Sorry if I offended you sheeple, but no matter how addictive a game might be, I consider a person who buys all CoDs and their DLCs to be a sheep. Why? Because in my opinion a yearly release that improves as little as CoD does and obviously get's a lot less effort than countless other games simply does not deserve the sales it gets every year.
Do you get it now? I am against milking a franchise and giving bad example to other developers who might try and follow in the same footsteps, thus promoting devolution, not evolution.
No offense but coming on to comment on a game thats really cool to hate on right now and dropping the "they don't improve!!!:(" defense really does make you one of the sheeple.
Pot=kettle=black
1. Buy the game
2. When boycotting , even matter in the total sales figures .
It's always a riot to see the twisted "people always complain yet they buy it " logic and argument . Even here there are maybe like what 50 people often complaining about the game ? So how the f*** do some get to say if they followed through or not ?
There are hundred of millions of gamers , obviously when cod mw3 top the charts with over 25-30 millions , not every gamer got the game
I don't play CoD as much as I used to because, in honesty, I feel it started to go downhill after Modern Warfare 2. CoD 4 was excellent, WaW equally so in my eyes, and MW2 was really enjoyable until the exploits hit. Black Ops and MW3 underwhelmed me though, and consequently I've lost interest.
But many of my friends (real-life and virtual) play MW3. I can't go online without receiving a flood of invites, and because I appreciate the social side of gaming as much as gaming itself, I join them in order to socialise.
I play CoD nowadays because everyone else does. I still make time to play what I want; I have a Battlefield 3 group, an Uncharted 3 group, a DiRT 3 group and so on, so I don't sacrifice my preferences or needs in any way. However, when I have five friends online spamming me with invites it's hard for me to ignore.
We use Skype so we can and mute most everybody in-game so we don't have to hear the crap.
I'll go even to say that the only COD worth playing are COD 1 and COD 4(MW1)
The rest is garbage beyond repair.
When my little bro is on COD he is usually playing all knife fighting or something that I don't find "Fun"
I won't sit on here and lie when I play it I start having fun but the second that I'm shooting someone that's running into all my bullets and then stabs the air in front of me and I die really makes me want to turn it off.
I love Black Ops Zombies. So if Black Ops 2 has an Upgraded Zombies Mode, I will purchase that myself.
(I'm not kidding. Look it up)
I find it unbearably repetitive and mundane.I think the 'hate' is to a large extent,what it stands for as opposed to what it actually is.
A repetitive rehash that sells truckloads,spawns endless similar titles and assumes that this is good enough,this is what they want.
A competitive multiplayer Fps with multiple weapon,perks played by millions worldwide.
