This topic is about the games that killed cod. Meaning the games that where more cooler then Cod like classics. Which games would YOU pick? Mine is the first and second max payne game from 2001-08 and The first HALO. Whats yours?
in the newest one they added in a new faction to play as
As far as actual gameplay is concerned you can't derive a definitive corollary from that statement, can you? :O
I mean, in Age of Empires or Age of Mythology you'd know changes were abound - though in the first two AoE games if an expansion pack came the differences in civilizations was less than substantial but I'm not sure how it works in Dynasty Warriors.
So they actually attempt to give the games strong improvements
Possibly, although these were listed somewhat late in the franchise considering that it was only the fourth one you could list or after for when these features were brought about. The inclusion of them in sequels is a no-brainer if they were good / effective or could've been good / effective if they had improvements or fixes.
and the story line can be initiated GTA style, where you go and talk to someone, like a superior officer, and they give you missions...
GTA is a Sandbox-RPG, not an FPS xD this goes back to my reasons for why FPS singleplayers were in less of a surplus way back when, and why that was a good idea.
that'd be an enjoyable game and a big step in the innovating direction for their games)
Not necessarily. I mean, consider how often you play the campaign? Anyone diehard enough to play repeatedly through something as monotonous as that would be playing a game that has good combat (or other) experience throughout the singleplayer. . . but Call of Duty is focused on the Multiplayer and that's where you'll find its longevity. If they innovate and properly improve the multiplayer, very very strongly, then they'll be pulling the franchise back into something that spawns decent games, at least.
their fanbase isn't going anywhere.
Some of their fanbase is getting tired, it's mostly a matter of time -- the decrease in sales will expedite as less people decide to get it and "Well, if I can't play with you it's not going to be worth it, how about we just stick with MW2?" approaches a lot of people.

The change of a new faction essentially expanded the game...giving a bunch of new characters and a new story line that extends past the previous games'

Well saying that the first game of the series was a fighter game (street fighter-esq) I'd say it has come a long way haha
Whilst I think this pertains to the stickied Call of Duty Thread, I mays well partake as I've typed this much. Armies of Exigo Fable 1 Magicka Amnesia: The Dark Descent (and likely soon to be Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs) Saints Row: The Third (the fact that it exaggerates most aspects just makes this game brilliant, admittedly) Tribes: Ascend League of Legends (Despite terrible balance and other issues involved)
None of these games are the same genre except for Tribes, and it's free. League also is a free game.
King of what? FPS? I can name quite a few off the top of my head that are better than Battlefield, and because it seems to be a "thing" in this thread, in my opinion. BF3 got it's share of complaints, OP guns and equipment, too easy to die in multiplayer, a campaign worse than COD, hard to lvl up, ect.
Fun fact: BO2 is getting record pre-sale numbers, better than any COD game before it. So I would say opposite of dying really.

Yeah, people have opinions. I just think BF3 is really good, and no FPS in same category beats it. Halo maybe does, but it's completely different. Also, too easy dying in multiplayer, as you say it, just makes it fun for me
I wouldn't say it is dying - it is just that Infinity Ward and/or Treyarch have not released something different from their formula that really invigorates casual players to play it, as spending 60$ for a game that differentiates slightly from its predecessors is not an inviting prospect. However, being a fan of some CoD games (Black Ops & COD4) I must say that it really has gone done in its quality for the Modern Warfare series. MW3's mic problems for the first few months were ridiculous, and unbalanced guns led e to sell it for money to pre-order BO2.
As for games better than the CoD series, Uncharted 1,2, & 3; Skyrim; Journey; and Flower. And Minecraft, obviously....
However, these are all of different series, and although I must congratulate Battlefield's producers for going against them, the two series are too different to compare in terms of gameplay and teamplay.
