I saw Jericho's new vid and i liked it a lot. He spoke of an opinion (which i agree with) that caught my eye. This commentary has been done 9000x over. It has been done for many games. In where the commentator speaks of why he is not enjoying the game anymore. Well let me sum up the video. COD has lost its glory not because challenge lobbies, over powered weapons, etc. It has been lost because their is not much left to learn. Seriously, some of us when we play this game we play it like zombies. I will give you an example for domination or search and destroy players. Find 5 games in your theater, where you start off in the same area (and of course the same map) the first 10s are similar. Most of us when we bought this game we tried to juice up as many hours as we could to play it. Honestly, for the call of duty vets, the only thing that keeps us going is the competitive aspect. What i mean is, most of us know how to drop shot, quick scope, and all that jazz. Really the only thing keeping us going is the competitive aspect. Such as getting high stats, challenges completed, etc. Many former call of duty players say that x game is more fun. I say that x game is more fun because they are learning about x game, and have not learned everything. At the end of the day, every cod is just about the same. This is life, we lose lust for things we love doing. Anyways, i just felt like sharing this opinion. Feel free to discuss your respectful opinions.

Call of Duty is essentially the same game yearly, just under a different skin which includes minor changes to satisfy the fans and earn profit. I was one of those who denied that at first, but now I've come to see the light. I've played it so much, and it has served as such a major influence in my life, that it's pretty much defined an entire part of who I am. In retrospect, I see how foolish I was to allow gaming to consume such a large portion of my schedule; I've squandered so many non-gaming opportunities and relationships just to pursue goals in an entirely virtual world that was intended to be purely for entertainment.

What most gamers fail to realize is that their hobby accomplishes nothing; every achievement only provides temporary gratification. Gaming will not last forever, so it is far more wise to invest time in something fulfilling, and lasting. I don't understand why humans attach themselves so strongly to things that can be taken away from them instantly, instead of focusing on things of permanence. Those individuals who spent 500+ hours on the game, and were reset; what have they truly accomplished? Temporary fame? Their names and reputation will soon be forgotten, and in a few years they'll realize how naive and careless they were for investing so much time in gaming, when they could have worked towards something more socially and mentally beneficial. This is why I "quit" PS3. I've abandoned leaderboards, stats, recognition and competitive gaming totally, all that remains is regret and a haunting feeling of emptiness.

I honestly find it sad that whenever I join a voice/text chat on PSN these days, the conversation is always about who's more known, who's better at the game, or about who has a better history of fame. It's pathetic, I don't want anything to do with it any longer.

Honestly, i think the reason why call of duty is boring is because we expect so much more in each new call of duty
but the truth is, with the current consoles, we can't advance, there is a certain limit that they can reach, and it has been reached.
until we get new consoles, we wont be able to see what new advances can come to call of duty.
think about it. the ps3 and xbox are almost 7 year old consoles.
an iphone has more ram than a xbox or ps3.
we NEED new consoles so that gaming can interest us again

i remember the cod4 times, boosting/hacking didnt even really exist and nobody gave a fuck. no raging in pregame lobbies and shit. I used to sit in the back of the map with a sniper everytime I played until I got the gold dragunov, cause people thought when the gun was gold it gave you more power lol. Those were pretty good times tbh.

cameltóe, french much?
The most fun I ever had was with MW2, in my mind with all the flaws that it's still the best COD ever. If you take out the hacking problems even with op Noobtubes and commando you could still have a blast with that game.
