I feel your pain, jcap. But you just have to realize that you're not going to change anyone's mind and move on, resolving not to succumb to any hype for any future Call of Duty games.

I've played through CoD 1 and CoD 4 and I just don't enjoy that style of game. I don't like the multiple perspectives or the silent protagonists. I am constantly distracted by the fact that every scenario IW puts in their games was ripped straight from a movie or a TV show. Moments that are intended to feel intense and exciting feel stilted and scripted to me. I don't even appreciate the mindless action.

But no one would agree with me, except those that agree with me. To everyone else, enjoy.
