Indeed.
I refuse to dignify the other threads by posting in them, but this hasn't been posted yet so let's scrape the bottom of the barrel with this one a bit shall we?
I think your mom (or dad if you prefer) is better than Call of Duty.
Oh dear, that didn't dignify this thread either. Oh well I tried.

I don't get everyone's blind hate of COD here. A few years ago, you guys couldn't let any opportunity to hate one Halo pass by, and now you do it to COD. I think you just resent things that are popular for merely being popular sometimes. I, for one, enjoy both the Halo series and all of the COD games except for the console-exclusive ones.
For me, COD epitomizes nearly everything I hate in modern day gaming -- but I'll focus on the bit that gets me the most. Let's use Modern Warfare 2 as an example, since it's the most recent one I took a shot at. I get the game, and immediately go for the single player campaign. After all, I enjoy single player more than multiplayer, and from the trailers for the game, I'm expecting a pretty good experience over the next few days.
Without ever getting up from my chair, I beat the single player campaign in just a shade over five hours.
...
Five hours.
For $67.19CAD, I got five hours of game time.
I feel a little cheated.
I only play COD games for the single-player as well, but I don't feel cheated. Because I wait 2 or 3 years until I can get them for $20, instead of paying $60. Most games these days aren't worth $60. Every full-price purchase I've made left me feeling shafted with the exception of The Orange Box, so I just wait till the stuff gets cheap. COD is quite a lot of fun when you only pay $20.

I'd like COD more were it not for its over-reliance on set-pieces. Mind, a lot of AAA titles employ them, so it must be the zeitgeist. It feels less a game, more an interactive cut-scene. Strangely, I'm a fan of Heavy Rain.

1.) Single-player only for $40, add multiplayer via DLC for $15 2.) Multi-player only for $40, add singleplayer via DLC for $15 3.) Whole shebang for $60, comes with some nifty DLC perks for buying the $60 bundle.
so you can buy the whole game for $55, or pay $5 more and get the whole game!
The DLC is locked to your profile or system. You can't sell the DLC when you don't want the game later
Also, that's why I said add some DLC perks, so ala flaming helmet or something.
Let strength be granted, so the world might be mended...so the world might be mended.
