The immense repetition of the game series with online play has made it boring. When I first started out playing Call of Duty on Mw2, I only got to play occasionally on my friends Ps3. I was decent, ended up with a 1.3. I got my Ps3 and was able to buy Black Ops, although prior I was borrowing MW2. Black Ops, I came out at 1.7k/d and found that I got good enough to where I entered matches and went 30+ with 10- deaths.

I play MW3 now, I experience good service connection and then bad connection. It's annoying really, I can't snipe unless I have 4 bar connection and I love sniping. The maps are all so simple, there is so little I can do, I can't hide anywhere, blend or wedge myself into object. There is so many invisible walls all over the place that I trip over them and die because I got stuck and I was then exposed.

The game modes are so easy, I know where everyone goes, I know how people act. I know the routes that people go and if activity is low, then they must be here or there and that people hide there or here because that's all they can do and will do.

I mess around, 1.62k/d ratio, without that, easily 2.4-2.8. (I do a lot of weapon testing/fun rushing).

Anyways, the fact that it's just a solid map with me running around is boring. I think it would be a ton more interesting if there was more interactions with the map, bring back the tanks or bring armored cars. Get rid of some of these kill streaks, spice things up. 3rd person is what I miss most, there is nothing tactical about the new games, something tactical would be great. Mission modes with a group of 3-4 people would also be awesome. I think the limitation of Survival with 2 people was a bad idea, 4 would have been awesome or maybe making it 8 and if you die, you are dead. Then add a ranking system and if you ditch, you lose experience. (This would create a whole new side to the idea of online play).

They just keep doing map modifications and redrawing then sticking up with the realistically the same programmed coding for weapons, just a selector that identifies and changes range/damage values.

I wasn't trying to make gaming seem as an aimless, destructive hobby. My point was that it should not consume your life and rob you of opportunities which could have lead to a greater future for you as a whole. And apart from that, I wasn't playing Call of Duty because it was "fun" for me. Otherwise I'd be playing role-playing titles and other action games. That fun factor died after Black Ops.

I played Call of Duty because I was pressured to by the majority of my PSN friends to do so; I needed to focus on leaderboards, clans, clan battles, PGL, Gamebattles, etc. So in a sense, my reputation came with something of an obligation. I wasn't gaming for fun, I was gaming because I thought I had to- it became a responsibility. Now, I'm just cutting ties with all of that and just living- sometimes gaming- independently. No pressure, I'm free to do whatever I please, whenever I want.

Now I can say that I am at the peak of my gaming career. I'm actually enjoying myself with the games I currently play- haven't had such an enjoyable time gaming since the Black Ops era. Gaming is entertainment, not an obligation as I previously thought. If I'm not enjoying myself, why play?

Weapon testing. This is something that you don't see often. people scared to try out new guns and just run around using the mp7 or ACR. People consider them overpowered because that's all they see. I like to use almost every gun to try and complete challegnes. This prestige all I really used is the mg36. My kd dropped but I don't care. If I would use the ACR or MP7 or PP90 every game my kd probably would have stayed at the 2.60 I had for the first few months of the game. But for me I get bored using the same thing over and over and over. Change is always good.

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.
