Hey man,

I enjoyed the list. There were a few surprising titles I didn't even think about until I say them in yours.

COD is in the list, and it's not the ones before modern warfare 2. So sorry to say but for me instantly equals a bad list in my eyes.

MW3 was a return to the formula applied to COD4 in that there was death of characters that is affecting and not just used as a hammer hits nail sense. Also, the story was much better and as always the mechanics are well tuned. I agree MW2 was not very good, but to use a blanket statement like that is someone asinine in my eyes.

OT: Curious list; I've been meaning to play many of the games on there. Hopefully they are as entertaining as you say.

uhhh, in WHAT way was MW3 anything related to COD4? The hit detection is just atrocious since they decided to make the lag compensation incredibly high. The story is terrible, as everything is cliched and any twist in the story completely predictable. Hell, the gameplay isn't even revamped from MW2. There is nothing in the game that would make it on a top 10 list. It's a terrible terrible game that apparently only appeal to cod fans tbh.

And since when did people care about the single play sections of the modern warfare series lol, since MW2 again they have just been a dangling parasite on each game being churned out.
even if the story has been improved it's still a case on transformers 3 meaning people call it good because it was just better then the last abomination.

Not to get into any debates but only appeal to Cod fans? I am not that big of a cod fan, I like the games sure, but not enough to die for them like some fans would.

The gameplay works, does no one seem to get that? How would you improve it? Add Vechiles? then you got BF3. Why fix what isn't broken.

Also what games go onto a top 10 list changes for people, and I got enough enjoyment out of the game to warrant being on this list.

I have always played the SP of the MW games and Black Ops, I love the COD sp's. Sure their stories aren't deep or thought provoking BUT THEY WERE NEVER TRYING TO BE LIKE PEOPLE SAY, they are trying to be action movies that go by set-pieces, nothing more, nothing less.

Geez people are starting to blurr the lines between Fact and Opinion.

Oh dear god. Why fix what's not broken? Hell with that attitude we'll still be playing the same old games and the same old formulas for the next 100+ years. Good bye innovation and creativity.

I miss the days when developers were trying to create sequels and games that are BETTER than their predecessors instead of relying on the same formula for the next 3 sequels because it's "not broken".

I am sorry, but there is many innovation and creativity that everyone seems to ignore. So what if CoD isn't changing? THATS ONE FRANCHISE.

Also did you play MW3 or did you go: OH IT's LOOKS LIKE MW2 SO IT'S THE SAME HERP DERP.

Did MW2, have Ranking up in Spec Ops, Survival, did MW2 have Point Streaks rather then kill streaks? What are these? OH YEAH FUCKING IMPROVEMENTS.

Sequels have always been SIMILAR TO THE ORIGINAL GAME, THATS WHY IT'S A SEQUEL.

Also you seem to be forgetting one huge fact, do you know what that is? BETTER IS SUBJECTIVE. Something many people seem to forget.

Lastly your complaing about the same thing PEOPLE HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT SINCE THE START OF THE GAMING INDUSTRY.

This gerneration it is shooters with little innovation, last genreation, it was lot's of JRPGs that played very much the same, the generation before that, platformers which all copied over each other.

Hell, Mario hasn't innovated in years, it isn't creative, it's using the same ideas over and over again, but yet no one complains.

Just becuase you make a sequel doesn't mean it's going to be radically different from the original. You know why, I ask once more? Becuase it's a sequel, not a remake, not another franchise, but a sequel. Which is usually comes from people wanting more of what they played!

This is the last post I will be making on this topic (not thread, just this discussion.)

Some people are also unable to tell when a person speaking, is talking of his own opinion and not proposing what he says is fact as well, I don't want to get to the stage where I have to write IMO because some people think it's fact even tho I supply no evidence :D

CoD gameplay does not work. In modern warfare the game play worked, since then the game remains totally broken with the massive overblown kill streaks, I would get into how the game has become focused on the physiological addictive aspects in the game play such as gambling, however currently I have a hangover :D so my mind isn't taking kindly to the prospect of a deep look into the human mind and how call of duty game play effects it.

I would improve the game, by refining the kill streaks so we don't have game destroying ones, or even these chance related one, furthermore I would also attempt to give more value to the actual prestige. In short keep it closer to modern warfare, rather then adding a load of clunky kill streaks and actually bother to ensure the game has been tested correctly so their aren't issues like bad spawning.

Nice list despite my disagreement with some title choices. I won't bother with a debate though since this is an opinion list and thus your own choices. However I did notice that your images are way too large for the amount of text in each box. I would tone the images down to a banner size rather than the size you currently have on them.
