''Call of Duty is not a game, it's a lifestyle'' - do you agree?

[QUOTE="HaloPimp978"]

No it's simply the game for Casual gamers.

It's more of a lone wolf gae and because of that the maps need to be small.

Battle field takes no more or less skill then COD but it attempts to force team work to win. Problem with BF is the same problem with COD. Everyone camps because they're more worried about their KDR then actually winning. Which means COD is the better game anyways since COD puts a heavy focus on KDR while BF put a heavy focus on W/L. At least with COD I can be good enough to make a positive impact on the outcome of the match. In BF you have no hope if you don't have team mates that are in the same mindset as you.

I was lead to believe that W/L > KDR in battlefield :|

You got one thing right.

That is quite possibly the dumbest thing anyone has ever said. In the history of ever.

Never buying another CoD game. I laugh everytime the people at GameStop who don't know me ask if I want to reserve it.

Even for SW this thread is just... WOW! :shock:

lmao.

ok im done. bye.

NO!.

It's a lifestyle if you're in the army.

Impressive, 2nd post ended the thread.

it isn't either one any more....it's a $60 doorstop

why cod is a lifestyle? cod sucks anyway.. BF3 all the way!

BF3 is a game you play for 4 hours then never touch again. It's nothing like Call of Duty...

*plays CoD's SP for 3 hours*

*competes it*

*plays MP for 5 minutes*

*Never touches again*

That is my reaction to MW2, one of the biggest pieces of trash to go into my 360 disc drive.

AND I PLAYED TWO WORLDS.

Also LOL at this topic.

That's why it sells close to 30 million copies with each instalment, whereas BF barely sells over 2 million outside the PC platform, I guess.

It's fine if you don't like CoD (nobody here does), but you can't deny it's the symbol of gaming for many gamers today.

Laughable. Black Ops sold what, 24 mil? That's not close to 30, and neither are the others since Blops has the highest amount. Bad Company 2, sold over 9 million on all three platforms. Not as much as CoD, but it doesn't have the casual crowd and EA didn't have to pay off reviewers to score the game high, but Activision did with the free vacations.

Symbol for casuals maybe, who are their main audience.

Not even close. I enjoyed some of the games though.

Yup, it did around that number, which is far more than any other FPS game.

CoD sells the most because its the most casual easy to play FPS around.

A 5 can play it and do well. Somebody who hasnt played a game before can play it and do well.

It's the starting block for new gamers (and 8-15 year olds) and that is who its marketed to, young teens.

No, it doesn't sell because it's easy. That's laughable. A lot of games are easy to get into, yet never see sales even close to CoD.

CoD sells because of one thing, and one thing only: it's fun to play.

That is the theme of any CoD game. IW doesn't give a crap about graphics. As long as they make a game that many people will enjoy (a keyword, it does not exist in the BF franchise), they're happy.

Battlefield 3, for your information, is aimed at the casual crowd, as well.

Considering how bad CoD has become after 4, it makes distinguishing a gaming newbie from a gaming veteran easy.

COD is something you do. Gaming is something you LIVE.

All games are fun to play. Whats your point?

Also when did i mention BF3? I hate CoD and i don't like BF.

No, all games aren't fun to play. That's like saying all movies are fun to watch.

You said CoD is marketed to young teens. Same could be said about BF3.

We are talking about CoD not BF.

And yes not all films are fun to watch for you, but people out there will like the ones you don't like. You are talking like CoD is the only fun game, which its not.

Me and a friend of mine were having a discussion about Gears 3 yesterday.

Me: How are things going in Gears 3, owning some noobs lately?

He: Yeah, because I have already said it will be my last game this year, I am trying to get pro at it, it has my full focus atm.

Me: What, so you are not going to buy MW3?!

He: Well, of course, but MW3 doesn't count, because it's not a game, but rather a way of life. You always buy CoD.

Do you agree? I thought about what he had said, and came to the conclusion that it may very well be the case in these days.

Well it's a pretty pathetic way of life if you ask me. Things like school, work and exercise are bit more important than just some video game.

It's a ******* game.

[QUOTE="Dibdibdobdobo"][QUOTE="The-Magus-D"]Its an important aspect in my life. All of my hobbies are like reading, video games, football. Why do gamers make it seem like we're too cool for games haha. It's apart of my life man. I play them, I research them, think about them when I'm not playing them, and I talk to other people over the internet and school about games... No shame in my game! It is what it is!

The-Magus-D

We only need 1 word answer no need to make out a hobby to be more than a hobby when it isnt. You can have a strong interest in something but that doesnt change the fact in the end its still a Hobby.

I have a hobby in Football, not the american rugby variation but actual Football. I read alot of news and watch the highlights. This to me is nothing more than a hobby.

You can call gaming a lifestyle but CoD, lolno. It´s a terrible game that none should buy or play.

I called it a hobby for crying out loud lol. I added the extra bit to emphasize that it is important in my life. What matters to you is more usually more meaningful than how the world looks at it.

I disagree, but i understand that nearly EVERYONE buys COD each year.

yea its a lifestyle, one of ignorance and repetition.
