   It’s surpising how a game that has bought nothing new to it’s franchise for atleast 5 years, has mediocre graphics and an awful story manages to sell 6.5 million copies. I guess 12 year olds just buy this game to fit in..

         Rob, its the mario kart of shooters, and its fun. You must know that the average age of purchasers isn’t 12. Try not to be so condescending please.

      Zelda seems to do okay after 15 years of the same shit.

         True but this year’s Zelda seems to be doing something a little different.

         There’s a difference. Zelda is a one-time purchase with no DLC, and is actually worth buying. Don’t compare COD to Zelda, it’s like comparing a 1965 Ford Mustang to, say, a Toyota Camry

      did you actually played the first modern warfare?

      a game is a game, with such “mediocre” graphics, i won’t complain, considering i still think the graphics of dune 2 is still good

      it is also a lesson to other devs, graphics is not everything nowadays

         While I agree that a game is a game, you’d think that the developers would at least up the effort in terms of the graphics and gameplay at least once over the past 5 years? Every Call of Duty game uses an engine based on IdTech 3, which was made in 1999. Its almost 2012 now.

      CoD is the ultimate non-gamers’ game. Even all the jocks I know think it’s “cool” to play CoD, and non-gamers or casual gamers couldn’t care less if they’re getting the same experience year after year and couldn’t care less if a much better game is shoved in their face. It’s just, “oh, new CoD game, I must buy it”.

         This. So much people I knew from high school have an Xbox and only play CoD on it because its seen as “cool”.

      To be honest 5 years ago CoD3 was had just came out, compare that to CoD4 and saying it’s the same, well no, theres a reason CoD became so popular between the two games, something must’ve been different. Then further yourself to how much MW2 changed CoD..

   im surprised a bit to be honest. i know a LOT of people who were not excited for mw3 and didnt buy it, who usually would. many chose to get battlefield (like myself) instead, or even skyrim.

   while i know the numbers behind call of duty are massive, i thought there would have been SOME decrease in numbers, not an increase.
