it's art alright, the finished product just isn't accomplished in any traditional sense. because this process includes mathematics, algorithms, technology, etc., many people are hesitant to accept it for one. but they'll see soon enough, the video game industry has been covering huge amounts of ground these past few years. we have such control over our technology that nothing is impossible any more, and what's more is that we have enormous control over our creations now - just look at fallout 3, little big planet, metal gear solid 4, far cry 2, etc.

what about call of duty 4?
