OK, so I understand that the Call of Duty franchise is slowly slipping in regards to the quality of their games, but that still does not mean that every time I come on The Tech Game I have to scroll past hundreds of people hating on Call of Duty for what ever little reason.

The ones I have read are so minor and pointless like, 'CoD is so sh*t and unrealistic I hate it F*CK CoD' Blah blah.

I get that some games may not be for everyone, I get that, but what you need to understand is that there ARE people who still enjoy Call of Duty and get great enjoyment out of playing the series, those people dont deserve to see potentially their favorite game getting bashed by 30 odd people a day.

Maybe a petty rant on my part but just thought i had to say it.

Just to clear up, I am in no way shape or form what you'd call a 'CoD Fanboy' Ive not played a Call of Duty seriously since Modern Warfare 2 but I do still occasionally play Black ops 2 and ghosts and when I do play I enjoy them and have fun.

Thanks for Reading.

I understand where you are coming from, I think a lot of people don't like the direction the franchise is heading, especially after the disappointment many people had with Ghosts.

The game is literally the same thing every year. A bunch of little kids running around screaming into their mics 360 quickscoping and they send you death threats when you don't setup or you kill the last guy.

Sorry but the games are going nowhere and frankly i'm surprised at how they are still even in business.

you say that but they have been selling more and more each year. Just because you dont like them doesnt mean everyone doesnt. I personally stopped buying them past MW3

Your kind of what im talking about.. Ive played CoD since CoD 4 and from the to now ive NEVER ran into people you describe.. Yes you get people shouting down mic but your judging the whole CoD community on a minority

You could say this about anything, really...

I get that some movies may not be for everyone, I get that, but what you need to understand is that there ARE people who still enjoy Justin Bieber: Never Say Never and get great enjoyment out of watching the movie, those people don't deserve to see potentially their favourite movie getting bashed by 30 odd people a day.

I get that some TV shows may not be for everyone, I get that, but what you need to understand is that there ARE people who still enjoy Hannah Montana and get great enjoyment out of watching the TV show, those people don't deserve to see potentially their favourite TV show getting bashed by 30 odd people a day.

I get that some songs may not be for everyone, I get that, but what you need to understand is that there ARE people who still enjoy Rebecca Black's Friday and get great enjoyment out of listening to the song, those people don't deserve to see potentially their favourite song getting bashed by 30 odd people a day.

The reason that people hate Call of Duty so much is because it's mainstream and basically everyone plays it. In fact, people that play it seem to hate more than people that don't. My bro's room is right next to mine and all I hear "WOW SO UNREALISTIC" or "WOW THESE KIDS ARE ALL NOOBS AND THEY CAMP HARD". Really, it's the players that people hate, not the actual game.

It's the same reason that people hate League of Legends or Madden NFL, the people that play those games more often than not say that the quality of other games in the same genre are less than their games because they are less popular. So Madden > ESPN NFL 2k, or League of Legends > Dota 2. And, for COD players it's COD > Battlefield.

Also, the Call of Duty series seemingly puts out the same game every year (to outsiders or people that don't play it) and gets insane sales and publicity every year, just like Madden. This is another reason why people hate on Call of Duty, it just soaks up the limelight every year despite not being very original. Same goes for Madden.

So, in summation, COD is hated because....
1. The community around that game is notorious for having a high saturation of 'younger players' (squeakers)
2. COD sold out to the mainstream and the games are known for not being much different than the game prior to that year (MW2 vs. MW3, not too many differences there and MW3 was a bit disappointing to be honest.)
3. Some COD players like to boast that their game is the best FPS on the market because it is the most popular, that is something that really pisses people off for whatever reason.


Really, people hate the players, not the game.
