Back in 2001, I was in 1st grade. I had a brand new Dell that my parents got for me. I was given a choice of 2 brand new computer games in which I could bring home, free of charge. I chose the ones with the coolest covers of course, which turned out to be the best games I have ever played. Shogun total war and Call of Duty. However, being that this is about Call of Duty, Shogun will be sidelined. Anyway, Call of Duty was an amazing indulgence for a first grader. I had never seen violence like this or the storyline that allowed me to become immersed into 1944. It was a great expierience which turned me into a die-hard fan, buying anything Call of Duty.
Unfortunately, like most greedy S.O.B.S., Activison decided to turn this simple game into a Frankenstien of a franchise. 14 total studios are involved in the destruction of the innocent and true game that was COD. 98 million copies later they decide to do a little shindig called "Call of Duty: XP". It's the physical representation of the oversized ego of the whole series and the company all for releasing Modern Warfare 3. Just because you can book the Dropkick Murpheys and a man with an equal to or greater ego, doesn't mean the game will be great. You actually have to keep improving on what you did before!
Nay I say, to you who read this and find that you don't like what you read. This series will sell well because it appeals to the weekday warrior. I cannot deny that, But I write this because like all great things, they have to end. They must! I call the series a Frankenstien because it is the same old resurected parts! Nothing greater is coming out of the series. It is a ressurected pile of the same crap that we villagers can't seem to get enough of. No matter how ugly it gets, we still love it because somewhere deep down we might think we found something salvageable.
What goes up, must come down. End this series.
