I enjoy the hell out of the gameplay in CoD for the most part, but the writing in MW2 was incomprehensible.
Like, in order to stop an invasion into the US they set off an EMP to cripple the russian army. Which is certainly flashy, but the US is way more reliant on electronics then the russians and would be far more devestated by such a ridiculous antic. There's dozen more where that fucking nugget came from.
So Modern Warfare 3... Single player I expect explosions, slow motion in some parts, every goddamn enemy shooing at me and only ME, endless waves of assholes untill I get to a spot on the map, more explosions, an on-rails segment or 7, and dying in the point of view of no less than 18 people.

you forgot enemies that look exactly like your allies, grenades thrown with surgical precision regardless of difficulty and oh yeah: Vehicles that seem to explode at random.

Can't really say I ever bought a CoD for the SP so honestly I never was bothered by the plot or any of the SP gameplay tomfoolery.
I mean at the end of the day they were all just vehicles for explosions and nice setpieces while people fire off military lingo.
Activision has made their plans to whore out CoD until we're completely sick of it pretty clear for years now.
Seriously. How do people not get this by now? Activision's business model is to pick games to turn into franchises, hype them up, and and release moderately different installments annually until people lose interest. They have said this openly.
I'm calling the release date: 11/11/11.
That would make it all the easier for me to take no notice, since it's the same day TES5 theoretically comes out!
Especially after the last game of BO I played a few weeks ago. A guy knifed me from 5 yards away facing the opposite direction. Never again. Never again.

Yeah no. Not being fooled into this crap again after the last two. And with battlefield 3 and Red Orchestra 2 on the horizon my multiplayer fps needs are covered without resorting to what will undoubtedly be a bug filled exploitfest that's somehow fucked on PC.

You must've missed MW2 as well, going off your 'description' of MW games.
Edit: sorry, both of you missed MW2.

Yay? Yeah, no, fuck that. I hated MW2. They need to stop putting one out for every year to pump out money, and focus some effort on toning it to a great experience. You don't even need to spend 3 years on every game like Rockstar. Just at least 2.

So, since MW2 fixed all your complaints, you will assume MW3 is garbage because....you didn't want to play MW2?
Have fun being a silly goose.

The missions in MW2 were outstandingly put together. The favelas IMO was the outstanding one among the bunch.
If they did anything wrong, they turned down the difficulty too much.
But if the choice is between a bit too easy, and spending several hours on one checkpoint like I did with World at War (and to a lesser extent Black Ops), I'd prefer the slightly too easy.
the writers for MW2's plot basically just took a Tom Clancy novel and flushed any tiny semblance of plausibility they could find down the nearest toilet
Have you ever actually read a Tom Clancy novel? They're more grounded than anything you will find in hollywood military films or a military first-person shooter.
ITT People act like CoD is a terrible franchise and that they never enjoyed playing any game in the franchise.
Nah, CoD 1,2,4 were great. Then MW2 they turned every knob up to 11 including the "bullshit" knob. Black Ops might be ok now the PC version is just coming out of the payed beta they put out.
MW2 was all flash and no substance for me, I thought the multiplayer was leaps and bounds ahead of the first, but the longer I kept playing it the more it fell apart. It feels like a completely seperate group of people looked at Cod4, tried to reverse-engineer what made it so good, and failed horribly.

On the other hand, running for cover from a rain of helicopters was pretty fucking awesome.

This man speaks the truth. Tom Clancy, especially older Clancy stuff, is really well written. Most of the newer garbage that people associate with him isn't even written by him; it just has his name slapped on for marketing purposes. Most of Clancy's stories would make for a better plot than even MW1, and I thought MW1 had a pretty good plot.
Yay? Yeah, no, fuck that. I hated MW2. They need to stop putting one out for every year to pump out money, and focus some effort on toning it to a great experience. You don't even need to spend 3 years on every game like Rockstar. Just at least 2.
They do spend 2 years in development. Thats why they have two studies which release alternately.
I thought the MW2 multiplayer was fantastic if it wasn't for the hacking, and in turn the lack of dedicated servers. Completely ruined it for me.
The SP missions themselves were well thought out, they were just held together by a ridiculous story. And no, it's not a "popcorn movie", it's ridiculous.

Really, cause last time I checked shit exploded alot in MW2, the AI shot the fuck out of you through out the entire game, there were quite a bit of slow motion everytime you breached a door, the sniping from a heli in Gulag was pretty on-rail and so was the part with the Humvee, and I'm pretty sure you got the PoV death of the Ranger turned Spy, Roach and an astronaut in space.
So I don't know what version of MW2 you played where this shit didn't happen but I know damn well it happend in mine. MW2 is the BIGGEST BLOCKBUSTER MUTHAFUCKA OF FPS GAMES and the only way Activison is going to top it is to turn it up to 11 on 11/11/11.
That's right, terrorism is worse than government sponsored torture.
Wait what
I'd say No Russian is worse.
The torture bit is bad, but it's a guy who's guilty as sin having information extracted.
No Russian is government sponsored murder of Russian civilians to catch a terrorist WHO YOU COULD CAP RIGHT THERE.
It's offensively stupid and what's more, if Russia went to the UN or something saying "Look at this." and wanted, well, ANYTHING from America, up to and including Alaska, THEY'D BE WITHIN THEIR RIGHTS.
This includes, by the way, acts of war. It's rotten business presented stupidly and dishonestly from any prospective.
I like that a Private 1st class in the US Army is qualified for deep cover CIA operations because he can go through The Pit really fast. And that an Army General was in charge of the 30,000 Marines from Modern Warfare 1.
MW3 should have you being some sort High-speed super awesome ultra soldier in some Top top TOP secret team because you can walk through a door really fast while shooting up at the sky.

Now now CoD2 was glorious and will forever be my favourite with 4 a close second.
Black Ops will however be the last one I purchase. I'm not quite sure why I bought it either, its a lot of fun sure but I could just play Reach.

I was yelling at the screen
How can anyone play this bit and not love it
You and me both, jonny.
We missed that the title of this thread was "Hate on every activision title even if we haven't played one in the last 2 years."
You and me both, jonny.
Taste?
Taste seems a relevant factor.

I loved this as well. I dont care what happens in MW3 just as long as Price and Soap are back.
