I didn't leave my favorite game series, my favorite game series left me.

I could get into the massive butthurt argument about Total War and Oblivion vs. Morrowind, but I'll stay out of that and remain on-topic.

I'm done with CoD. I think my first one was Finest Hour, which was awesome (that opening...wow.), and Call of Duty 3 was pretty fun as well (never played MP for either, PS2). Call of Duty 4 was revolutionary and had the best graphics of its time (and lots of new games don't even match the same graphic level), and was my introduction to FPS multiplayer (though I must admit that, at the time, I sucked at it. Hard.). World at War, though everyone talks about how bad it was, I absolutely loved. Kept a similar vibe from MW1, but the focus was shifted more to semi-auto and bolt-action (if that game had been released now, I would destroy everything with the semi's and bolt-actions). Very fun for me, especially Nazi Zombies, playing splitscreen with my friends, and campaign.

MW2 was ok. It was fun for a while, but it was quintessentially the same thing as MW1 and WaW. Just with new weapons and cheaper exploits, a huge amount of quickscoping (1-shot kill from any range....), very unbalanced weapons, and ridiculous killstreaks.

Black Ops I absolutely hate. I sometimes play with my best friend online, just because I don't want to play Bad Company 2 by myself. It's a horrendous game. The graphics were actually scaled back from MW2 (which, IMO, had worse graphics than MW1), the guns were EXTREMELY unbalanced (there's a reason almost everyone uses the same guns. half the guns have no recoil, half have extremely high recoil and no damage boost to compensate for it), kill streaks were still pretty annoying but not as bad as MW2. Just incredibly unrealistic. Freakin hate the game.

MW3 is the same exact thing as MW2, with a few different guns and attachments to keep the 12 year olds happy.


I can't bring myself to buy such an atrocity of a game, such a mockery of the once-prestigious title "Call of Duty".

Just incredibly unrealistic.

CoD is known for its extremely realistic combat.

Oh of course, just as much as Medieval 2 and Rome TW are known for ending up with historically accurate borders.

Indeed.

Total War - Medieval and Shogun were fantastic, catering for a small number of people who liked substance over shiny things. Rome was an anjoyable Arcade Game, something to play while listening to pop music :P. Medieval 2 was unplayable and it stayed that way ever since...

Fallout. I dont think Fallout3 was a bad game. It was a fine post apocalyptic game. But it wasnt Fallout (during my latest replay of fallout 2 I played a married female lesbian character who sold her spouse to slavery....try to do that with F3...)
