I have a theory.
I think that since COD has been coming out yearly since 2007 that the skill level involved in COD has created a barrier in the gaming community. It's much easier to say COD sucks than to say that COD has become too challenging. This IS evident in the fact that I've found that after taking a month off from playing COD that I literally couldn't go positive when I finally returned. This fact combined with quickscoping, dropshotting, spawn trapping, and high, overwhelming killstreaks (all of which require a level of "try hard") makes COD an unattractive game to those that just aren't invested enough.
I think I've cracked it.
Thoughts?
That sounds good, but honestly I feel like it's right there with how people treat jocks. Folks who enjoy sports i.e. those who just want a good FPS experience love C.O.D. and those who play it. However, those who don't really enjoy sports or who aren't too good at sports tend to treat jocks like they're all Neanderthals. Does that sound about right? It's bizarre because I'm neither a sports nor a FPS type of person, but I have never seen the point of dogging either those fields or those who play in them. If you don't like it then you should ignore it. Sadly people have this insatiable need to get off of bagging on the pleasures/interests of others.
