At any rate I pretty much quit buying new FPS games and just stick to playing old ones.

In games like Reach or Blops you don't really have to learn or develop skills to do well, and that's why they appeal to the majority.
That's because most of the fun playlists (except Invasion and DLC) are dominated by a Scoped weapon that every player starts with, every player must use to stay in the game, and ultimately makes players shitty in using any skill-required weapon that isn't a power weapon, for instance, the Assault Rifle. I've gotten more kills today due to that weapon because I've learned how to use it than I have using the DMR for the past few days.
