Call of Duty is not a bad franchise. It's just an overrated franchise.
Saying a video game sucks because it's just as repetitive as it's predecessors (Which made Call of Duty successful like it is today) is a pretty lame excuse, Especially when Pokemon, *Insert sport game*, and the New Super Mario brothers franchises have all been doing the exact same method that Call of Duty has been doing and not one person has back talked against it except for Call of Duty.
Call of Duty's significant differences are minor but can be very appreciated at times. A few examples, from my perspective/opinions: Modern Warfare 3's Specialist package system was actually pretty cool, Black Ops and Black Ops 2 had a very entertaining Zombie mode that still has some value to this day, Some of the new killstreaks in-between these games are fun to use, and the ability to select your own Killstreaks instead of using a forced killstreak set (Ala Call of Duty 4 and Call of Duty World at War, though they were very good First Person Shooters at their time) was a very nice addition that catered to the Call of Duty players pretty well.
Just because i like Call of Duty games does not mean i'm a defender of every decision they pull out on these games. I like Call of Duty a lot because it was fast paced and running smoothly in 60FPS. Combined with customization systems and some modes that might you like, Call of Duty was pretty big for what it is and spawned a whole new fanbase dedicated to the franchise (Regardless of whether or not little children are playing it right now and cursing others in the game when they get angry).
The only reason it's "Repetitive" according to most people is because they are still using modified/improved iterations of the IW Engine.
