To all haters saying this series need to end, just stop. It won't end. Not anytime soon. COD to many fans(including myself) is the game where you can hop on with buddies, join a game mode, and get into the quick action game play. While I do agree that Ghosts is OK, COD as a whole is pretty good. I know there are haters that dislike the game but to say the series need to end..What would happen if your favorite series end? COD got its fans. COD got its haters. But most of all, COD got the haters that have to repeat that its the same thing every year. If you don't like it, don't play it. Simple.

There is nothing wrong with having a game that's fun to hop on with friends and play the hell out of. CoD is a pick-up-and play sort of game and that's what its main appeal is. It was hella fun to play with a large group of friends.
No one is criticizing the gameplay as a whole, but the way the games are produced. The problem with CoD is that devs are given a 2 year dev cycle and that is
it. It is hard-coded and written and stone, and they do not give their devs ANY excuse to delay or refine anything. They, and by they I mean the suits, have taken the franchise and turned it into a money-grabbing scheme. I do
not blame the devs, no one should. They do their best with what they're handed, but if there is a major bug, or maybe they couldn't quite finish the campaign the way they intended... guess what happens? It's released anyway. This is because the suits don't care about the quality of the game, but rather getting that new CoD out
every. Single. Year.
Thankfully now they have turned to a 3-year dev cycle, but I feel that's not because they want the games to do better, but the fact that the appeal is finally running its course.
CoD is fun because of friends mostly, and it sucks that every year you had to get the next CoD not because you wanted to... but because if you didn't you'd be playing alone while your friends played the next version. I enjoyed Black Ops, yet before I could really get into it, it was already time to move on to the next. None of the iterations make truly innovative changes, and instead you could take various new ones and they'd be better lumped together into single games rather than 4 different copies.
TL:DR? The problem is quantity over quality, plain and simple. Activision is known for milking franchises until they're dead, and CoD is no different. They will make sure to shove it down our throats until we don't WANT it anymore, and then they'll toss it aside because they don't give a ****. It is a ****ty, horrible approach to developing games and represents everything wrong with the way a lot of the major publishers treat gaming.
