I used to be a huge fan of the CoD series when they were coming out with games like modern warfare one and two. Then after Black Ops the whole series, in my opinion, went completely went downhill.

Here's how I rank the games
Modern Warfare 3
Call of Duty 3
Call of Duty 1
Call of Duty 2
World at War
Black Ops
Modern Warfare
Modern Warfare 2

Spikeabc, you must mind know the fact (which you clearly don't) that MW3 was NOT made by the same people who made black ops, the first 2 CoDs and the modern warfare trilogy were made by a company called infinity ward (although sledgehammer games helped with MW3, and so did raven games, but raven played a more minor part) and CoD2, world at war and black ops were made by a company called treyarch, they had absolutely nothing to do with the tragedy that was MW3. So you may rest assured that black ops 2 will be truly spectacular. Although I will add to one of my previous statement, I must add that sledgehammer games are going on their own and going in the rotation of making CoDs, the CoD that comes after BO2 will be made by sledgehammer games and sledgehammer games alone, the next by infinity ward and the next by treyarch, and if CoD continues then if will repeat. One of the significance of that is that now the developers will have 3 years to make the game instead of the previous 2 years, giving them more time for creativity and innovation, now I say they will be made by them but the CoD made by sledgehammer and the one by infinity ward are already being made which you can see for yourself if you go to the call of duty wiki and search he next couple of call of duty game numbers. Also I realized that sledgehammer games will only have 2 years to make their next game but after that they will have 3 years

Look at it this way, in the year 2022 we will have CoD MW8 for almost a year and will be waiting for Black ops 7. Whooptidoo.

The reason people hate mw3 is because infinity ward took mw2 and upgraded it so its basically mw2.5, thats infinty ward treyarch on the other hand treyarch really tries to balance the game. I don't think the call of duty series is getting worse I think they just need to make a big push to what the community wants.

You got hat so wrong dude, first off it ain't MW2.5 it is by no means an upgrade to MW2, it is a major downgrade, it's more like MW.1 people liked the way it was, that's why CoD is popular, they don't need to completely redo the whole setup every game, it would get annoying, the reason I loathe MW3 is because of the worthless tiny maps, not because the game is similar to its predecessors

treyarch really tries to balance the game.

Ghost, famas, ak-74u, gunship, and sniping. Need I say more?
Black Ops made it nearly impossible to snipe (hardscope and quickscope). The Famas and ak-74u were overpowered, like the guns in ALL call of duty games. Regardless of Treyarch or IW. And ghost was probably the most annoying perk ever. Its up with commando, one man army and danger close. Its worse than some of those in my opinion.
Oh wait, I forgot second chance! Im not even getting into that.
And yeah, BO did things right, but they sure didnt make a perfect multiplayer. The random dramatic noise matched with the graphics I find in my toilet are a few of the problems. And a faulty theater mode. And a screwed up killcame system.
MW3 is better in my opinion.

well at least ghost in black ops was more balanced than in MW2, in that you got all sorts of things and then you get pro and all it does is not have the name above you, in black ops you barely get anything until you get pro for it which is hard to do. and what ghost did in MW2 was divided into two different perks

MW3 is better in my opinion.
dead man's hand, the rest of the death streaks, so much lag, type 95, tiny maps, n00bscoping, ACR, P90, PP19M1, MP7, MK14, FAD AK47, PM9, striker, duel FMG 9, MP9, XM25, stealth bomber being on the support package so even the biggest n00b can get one, EMP being on the support package, juggernaut being on the support package, escort airdrop being on the support package and overkill i think i've covered it for the most part, now i want to see how that compares to BO's problems

I see where you two are going with this conversation but in black ops 2 ghost will only work if you are moving but of course somebody will find a way to counter it like moving in circles or back and forth.
I think the PM9 is not over powered it's one of the worst guns in the game and that's why I use it.

in my opinion the problem isnt that call of duty is getting worse its that its not getting better while other games surrounding it such as battlefield are vastly improving with the addition of many more realistic features.

Ghost

Less annoying than assassin in MW3 or Cold-blooded in MW2. It just kept you away from a spy plane. Not all that aircraft crap and you couldn't get away from a blackbird with ghost.
Oh wait, I forgot second chance! Im not even getting into that.

I do agree with that. Second chance is one of the most annoying perks ever. Especially when you're on a streak and a SC noob decides to ruin it.
I think the PM9 is not over powered it's one of the worst guns in the game and that's why I use it.

It's actually pretty good if you put on steady aim and spray.

That's exactly what I do, I use rapid fire and range.With extreme Conditioning Pro,Quickdraw Pro, And Steady Aim....I only need a couple more kills till I get pro

In my opinion, the Call Of Duty series are good, but they can be much better. For example, the Crysis series have very few games but they take tons of time with them, and end up making one of the best shooting games ever made. Or with Bethesda Studios, they don't release a new game every month, but when they do it's an awesome, well thought out game.

No, cold blooded was never annoying. It takes skill to use, because you sacrifice the extra damage of stopping power. And a black bird is a seven killstreak, not a sufficient counter in my opinion.
As for the problems with mw3, I don't lag. Whatsoever. It's your connection that is the problem. And the acr is basically like the commando. You list nearly every gun to be overpowered, but of they all are then none of them are.

but of they all are then none of them are.
the word you were looking for was if, not of! and using that logic then i could say that if a game only had one shot kill weapons, then non of them were one shot kill. 25 wrongs doesn't make an ok, those guns were problems

Cod it was fun the first cod, the 2nd, even WAW but after moder warfare 1 the game only caters to those with fast riger finger and luck.
It got borring before it was challengeing but now everyone uses the cheapest weapons all the time and Cod moder warfare 3 please the game is piss easy i only used one gun the first level machine pistol and kill every one. In my opinion the francise will be put into better hands of a company that arent monney grubers.
