| I plan on getting Black Ops II. But there seems to be a lot of hate directed towards the franchise because it's the same thing over and over. Do you think it will last much longer? Because there are still an incredible amount of people buying each game. |
 |
| Until something which everybody moves to comes out really. I can't say when but CoD will probably die off some time during the next generation of gaming when somebody brings out a series that one-ups it. That seems to be the way it usually goes, a series that sells consistently every year through one console generation and dies off during the one after. |
 |
| As long as people keep buying them. Once the cash cow dries up, CoD will be discarded like Guitar Hero was. |
 |
| 1 group: "Oh no, they changed game so much, it's not the game anymore I used to love!" group 2: "Oh no, it's the same shit just with some added nuances, what is this?" It's pretty straight forward: if people buy this crap - keep milking it. Companies are afraid to lose money on ambiguous stuff, which might not be the thing new gen. gamers want. CoD franchise will die, when it ruins itself. I personally own CoD4:MW. I'm fine with just it. Never been huge fan of FPS games (except CS 1.5/1.6 and HL). |
| LUL |
| Longer than it should. It still sells stupid amounts and most of the people who claim to hate it always find some excuse to buy the latest one so there's no reason for them to scrap it yet. |
| MW3 sold like 20 million copies. The series will dominate for a long time to come. |
| I dunno, I've heard Activision is looking to sellCall Of Duty off so it kinda gives me a sinking ship feeling |
 |
| As long as they can milk it. |
| Way too long. But yea, I'm considering BO 2 as well, they've been better than the standard games at least. Only way to really save the franchise though is to go all out with comedy and shit like Saints Row 3. |
| Personally I think it's going to end 3 games from now. Black ops 2 is going to come out, and already a very large amount of people who got into at cod 4 or before are sick of it or have moved on. I think after BLOPS2, the incoming userbase isn't going to meet the outflowing users. they're going to rehash it again, and even less people are going to buy it. By now the only people left are the HARD-COUR GAMERS, and now the new users who haven't got into it before probably won't be too enthusiastic about it. By this time Activision employees can't function because there isn't enough money to fuel their bodies, they are beginning to starve, their brain and CNS is shutting down, and will eventually die from this illness. But before they do so, they will put out one last game, Call of duty 2 Electric boogaloo. Surely it will be the last straw. |
| i think it will last two more years then everyone will go to skyrim or something else just like it was for ghost recon and rainbow 6 vegas 2 |
| "I was an adventurer like you once then i took an arrow in the knee" ~Skyrim guard |
| next couple years most likley, theres 4 cods in development at the moment, there will be so many of them that they are going to speed up the process of even the casuals getting tired of it |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| they last so long because by far the best aspect is the online game play, and no other FPS even comes close right now that is on all 3 consoles, so you have to buy the latest game to keep up with everyone switching online i think it wil be interesting to see when Halo 4 comes out because it has a huge hungry fan base ( like me )and it is as different as fps can be so COD will loose a ton of xbox sales i mean would would you rather buy your millionth COD game or the first true Halo game in years ^ side note black ops i might buy cause of zombies i'm not going to buy the others at all they have enough of my money already |
| COD will be around as long as it sells like it currently does. People are like crazy over these games and I don't really understand what the fuzz is about. But I'm not a huge FPS fan either so... |
 |
| It's definitely going to go the way of Guitar Hero sooner or later, it's just hard to gauge when exactly since the fanbase is for the most part at that age where it doesn't really matter if it's more of the same or not, as long as it's new. |
 |
| I doubt much longer, the fatigue is already setting in Activison does a great job of running it's franchise into the ground. |

| It doesn't think, it doesn't feel, it doesn't laugh or cry..... All it does from dusk till dawn is make the soldiers die. |
| It will never die. There are different ways you have to look at it though. |
 |
| Not for a long time. CoD still is one of the biggest selling games in the market.(Even I'm guilty of buying almost every CoD.) It's kind of like, the CoD community sticks together. When a new game comes out they just all move to it and even though it may "suck" it still has that fast-paced decent MP action that anyone can really enjoy that many people do with friends. When I was in school that's all people would do, trade GTs and stuff then play CoD together. I still say it probably has another good decade or so before CoD franchise dies. |
Touch me, you filthy casual~ |
| For console I don't see the sales stopping anytime soon. PC on the other hand doesn't need Cod. |
| a long time, it's still a lot of fun to play around release. |
 |
| It'll last until they fuck up and make a bad game. Or several. People still buy Assassin's Creed and Pokemon, so I don't see CoD going away anytime soon. |
| The first Black Ops was the largest entertainment launch selling 5.6 million copies in the US and UK within the first 24 hours When it was released it and the game earned 650 million USD in the first five days which also was a record. The concept of COD might not have changed much but it still sells with record numbers and why change a concept which sells? Personally i own MW3 and played Black Ops and ordered Black Ops 2. I already seen some of the things of Black Ops 2 and some things did change for instance there is a new class layout and you can control more things compared to the previous Black Ops and MW3. |
| It'll keep going as long as it keeps selling. Even Pac-Man still gets games. |

Amputeed said: I give you Pokemon, but AC actually tries and changes things up, not to mention AC is reaching it's peak time soon too.It'll last until they fuck up and make a bad game. Or several. People still buy Assassin's Creed and Pokemon, so I don't see CoD going away anytime soon. I don't see CoD lasting that much longer but it depends on when the fans grow past it. Which also depends on their age. At the very least we can safely say it won't be ran into the ground as fast as Guitar Hero was, since music games were a fad while FPS games have a more lasting stay, with CoD being basically a marquee title or the genre at the moment. |

| no idea how long it will last, it wont be dying out anytime soon though unless they decide to just not make another one which i really doubt they will do for a while yet. I've never really been a massive CoD i like 4 a fair bit and played that with school friends a lot, then i got MW2 and got bored of it in around 3 days >.> and i played black ops for a few weeks just because my friends were on it :P im more of a halo person, i dont play much FPS these days ive moved on from them :P good sometimes though :D |
