3 CoD games in the Top 5 XBL games.

Biggest 5-day haul in entertainment:

1. MW3 ($775 mln)

2. BO ($650 mln)

3. MW2 ($550 mln)

Biggest day-1 launches all belong to them.

All of them will have hit $1 bln in a couple of weeks.

BO is best-selling game ever in U.S. and UK, MW2 is second in both region. MW3 will take over BO.

Call of Duty has taken over the world, get used to it fanboys.

Dominates the world by blowing air. Quite a feat.
Sadly, what can it do? Can it demand entertainment? Nope.
Its reign is as hollow as its head.
Its claim to the throne is the entertainment.

Well theres a lot more people in the world than those who like CoD, so of course with the hate MW3 has more people probably hate the game than like it. Or not. Either way its gonna make money.

So basically, CoD is the best example we have of people falling victim to advertising and hype, thinking they need to pay more than they would for every other new game out there, to buy a game they essentially already own.

Its shocking to see such a critically acclaimed, popular and top selling piece of entertainment do so well, then go online and see a bunch of whiners whining about how no one whines about it enough.

Its like wow, I get it. You don't like Call of Duty and feel the need to tell everyone over and over and over and over and over and over and over. QQ.

I don't understand how many people can "hate" this series and yet it goes on to sell so incredibly well. I'm not a huge fan (...at all), but I'm just pointing something out here. >.>

I guess popularizing the modern day shooter and standardizing so much of what makes shooters today the way they are doesn't count? And I guess your opinion on the matter over that of the millions who bought it matters more?

MW3 is doper than a jet+medx+psycho addict. It's like the sequel to COD4 that we never got. Nicely designed, content heavy, and way better balanced than MW2. It feels totally different than MW2. Once you play the MP, you notice why Robert Bowling always talked about going back to "gun on gun action". The only thing holding it back is the dated engine :lol:.

My point being that Call of Duty is not God's gift to gaming as TC clearly seems to believe. Call of Duty is like the Justin Beiber of games: millions of fans, but those who have more than a cursory knowledge of the medium (music in Beiber's case, games in CoD's case) know that it is barely anything special.

I dig COD. I'd compare it to Lil Wayne. Popular as hell. Not the best rapper out there, but deserves appreciation for his great talent and how he helped transcend hip-hop to a wider audience. My view anyways lol. Then again, I like a lot of things. I like a more variety of games than most people here lol.

I've found that to be true as well. I visit my friends at their universities and its very common to see an Xbox 360 with every CoD since CoD4. Some have BC2 but "Hate it because it sucks"

Of course, I know that.

I'm saying that shooters were popular on consoles before Halo too, even though yes, shooters on consoles as they exist today were popularized by Halo.

I think the message came off wrongly in my post :P

Weird, because I've always liked both?

Anyway even if someone only enjoys cod how does that not make them a real gamer? They devote time to a game that in my eyes is a gamer. BF fans need to get off their high horse and realize that some enjoy COD.

The reason why it sells so well is because mothers buy it for whining little kids and don't even know what they're getting them.

Or someone picks up a controller for 5 minutes and calls themself a gamer.

COD is a huge taint on gaming.

I continue to enjoy Call of Duty games. The multiplayer is basically the same from game to game, but I think it's the campaigns that make the COD games special.

Highest haul in entertainment industry is depends on how you count. By the money made, of course, the games these days are freaking expensive, a movie ticket costs just about $10 or $15 for 3D, a video game costs $60 at launch! And by the way, inflation is not adjusted when counting as well
