I think comparing these three completely different style of games is unfair, they should not be lumped into this type of vote, but to endulge this question since the Call of Duty games have such large advertising budgets, the mightly dollar can and does cast a large shadow. There are so many incredible games that don't get the exposure or advertising like the franchise name "Call of Duty" that to me over the years have really stoold out. I'll list just a few:
1) Mount & Blade, developed by a husband and wife duo, these three titles, Mount & Blade, Warband, and now With Fire and Sword, are sadly some of the best kept secrets of the PC gaming world, overshadowed by the massive advertising strength of games like Call of Duty. 2) Just Cause, 1,2, these games are imense in their scope, and offer hours or great gameplay, yet not many have even given them a try. 3) Flatout, 1,2, (for a racing series of games), another was Grid, and now a recent release GasGuzzlers. 4) For first person shooters, Sniper Elite, an older title that most people have never played or heard of, but yet the gaming community lists it as the best sniper game ever created. Another is Vietcong, also a great sleeper that those have played it know what I am talking about. 5) As Indie games go, Limbo, and To the Moon, these have to be two of the best new games I have ever seen or played, yet not many have ever heard of these as well.
Yes the call of Duty Games are great, I personally have every one and do enjoy them, but there are so many incredible games you may have missed, 1) because you never heard of them 2) because they did not have a huge advertising campaign.
