Why People still buying cod?

also happens to eastern dota scene, but man that's so bad to watch. That's why a soundproof booth separating teams are needed sometimes.

lol, then you must be jealous, they get paid so much money to play this "no skill" game, sucks to be you

bunny hopping requires skills(:????)

Then you played a different COD than me, or H/C mode only. Quake had no recoil and you could survive a lot of hits from the basic machine gun.
In COD/BF normal, players are bullet sponges, unless you headshot (some skill in aiming required, I lack it). Recoil is there, but some players seem to be adept and countering it and know how to use bursts.
Maybe bunnyhopping isn't really a thing in COD, but while playing MW1/2 I routinely witnessed players jumping when negotiating a corner to confuse the opponent and make it harder to hit them, all while landing headshots. You can't tell me that's something everyone knows how to do.
I'll admit that killstreak bonuses and various perks and features that mark and reveal enemies are making the game easier, but that won't prevent unskilled noobs from getting killed.

For me, Q]|[ and UT'99 were not inherently more skill based. They offered different tools and possibilities and were easier in some aspects, more difficult in others. MW3/BF3 don't have hitscan weapons, for example, you have to lead faraway moving targets, there's some bullet drop. On the other hand - no rocketjumps, ridiculous perks etc.

tl;dr I'm not defending those games as good, but they still require some skill and time to get good at.

"I'm pretty much running out of FPS games" I just gave you a list of FPS games

I actually like the way they did the graphics, its not to much but also not super outdated. You have to remember at the time those graphics were amazing also.

I think it will be a good game honestly, will have to see though.

Almost 41 days worth of combined CoD playtime on Steam. I sense no bias in your post. Thanks for your contribution to the discussion.

I've had much more fun playing BF3 than I have playing CoD. In my opinion it's just a better game overall from many angles.

That's exactly the kind of answer I would expect. It's already understood that people like the game for some reason, the question is why that is. Merely reiterating a premise of a question does not provide insight to the questioner.

The correlation is entirely your own. I'm not trying to imply anything positive or negative in my assessment as 'popcorn entertainment'. Hell, many of my favorite games/films are popcorn entertainment (Pacific Rim, anyone?).

Though I would be the first to admit that I hate the franchise, but because of its effects on the rest of gaming industry and culture, not because the thirty minutes I spent playing MW2 MP made my blood boil due to my inexperience.

Wait, did you said crappy gameplay? wtf man? BTW, when i was playing BF I always had pretty big kill streaks, I have also tried BF3 on a free weekend and yeah, it requires no skill. But I'm playing COD for 1 year and well, if I get a 4 kill streak then I'm happy as fuck. It requires skill. You won't learn driving a rc-xd in 5 minutes. You won't learn anything about how to play it wise in 5 minutes. In BF you can learn that in some minutes... Found a good gun, get lots of kill streaks and that's it.
I'll stick with COD

+1

Blutsauger medic FTW.

I once charged in Turbine with a brand new strange bonesaw. I exited the game with over 50 kills and a lot of angry teammates.

His quote didn't bring anything to this debate. On the contrary, he imposes his sense of taste upon others as the ultimate truth. Call of Duty is not crap. In fact it is good at what it does. It is good looking game with compelling game modes. You may not like it, but that doesn't make the game crap.

Why is that? If for instance Modern Warfare 3 has bots, I'd probably be able to get its achievements.
