My understanding about the COD series is that campaign wise it peaked with MW3 and i dont care about multiplayer.
Eta: Sorry it was cod4:mw that was the peak campaign.
the peak of cod was being in high school and playing local multiplayer blops2 zombies until 4am while on mountain dew and gas station snacks.
I then bought the one with kevin spacey and was underwhelmed (but at least it was the one with 'F to pay respects' so it had something going for it)
COD4 (I seen with the correction) was when it peaked, though the 2nd game was a fun WW2 game especially when I beat it on Veteran. The series started to decline (Campaign wise) after 4 and once they shifted more to the online being the draw than the single player side of things.
Yeah and here I am simply not giving a rats ass about multiplayer COD because Ive hated FPS multiplayer going back to when I was in elementary and my friends would play Goldeneye multiplayer and I hated it (love the single player to this day tho) and then later in highschool with Halo when friends wanted to do deathmatch while I was way more interested in the co-op. Though at least then i didnt totally hate it like with Goldeneye. But i did hate when COD became the new thing because I sucked too much to have any fun lol.
Im just not a multiplayer person in general unless its cooperative.
Same! I don't play multiplayer generally either. I only played the dark souls series with my wife in co-op lol but other than that I buy games for the single player. And most that are focused on the multiplayer I won't bother with. I played some multiplayer around 4 but the toxicity and stuff online in those games was enough to put me off online multiplayer for life, at least on a competitive level.
My only exception is a meme that said "fighting games are fun, but only when youre playing someone sligtly worse than you." I give a bit more wavelength to how much of a skill differential in each direction remains fun, but if youre playing someone too much better its no fun at all. And that is often the case. I loved Smash until college where other people there who played Smash were too much better than me to remain fun lol.
Oh and Mario Kart and Mario Party. Those are fun.
