But nobody is expecting them to, at this point. You either like the CoD formula or you don't. Since Activision is making hand-over-fist the way it is, they can just tell the naysayers to fuck right off and play something else, because they're in the minority.

And that right there is why most of us don't like the CoD series any more. Being a modding community, new mechanics and pretty graphics get us excited. Rehashes just earn our scorn.
