As realism increases, fun decreases.

Ah that makes sense. When playing FPS, and thus when giving my opinion of them, I speak strictly from a multi-player standpoint. After Duke Nukem 3D, I´ve never played a single-player campaign on an FPS, save for a few missions in Goldeneye to get cheats for multiplayer.

Most of the perks only served to make every gun exactly the same, while cherry-picking benefits you enjoy the most. Where benefits used to be built into the equipment you decided to use, MW removed most equipment benefits and allowed you to choose whatever you want. Pffffft.

Personally, I´m a fan of arcade-style, low-health shooters. And since they´re so uncommon, I´m stuck with the MW series for now.

This is true, but only due to developers not going the extra mile to bring the fun factor back.

Ive only ever played shooters over LAN, with the exception of quake 3. But playing over a 56k back in the day sucked major arse I can tell you! im much more a fan of 1v1 MP than teamplay. I don’t play well with others

COD fails miserably at trying to be realistic (which they do to a degree). a police shield can block an entire clip of barrett .50 cal bullets, YA O FUCKING K

that alone makes me want to throw my keyboard at the monitor

Why? Swat4 was pretty realistic And fun (maybe not after getting shot when youre about to finish a 20 minutes mission).

That´s because COD (at least MW and on) is an arcade shooter. It´s not meant to be realistic, it´s meant to be fun, and easily picked up by newbs and skilled players alike.

wasn't everyone bitching about how MW2 wasn't that good for some reason(s)?

the next CoD is being handled by treyarch, the guys who did CoD3, among others. http://pc.ign.com/articles/107/1078877p1.html

Ya, MW2 is a piece of shit due to countless glitches and a horrible, HORRIBLE, match-making system. Treyarch isn't exactly a knight in shining armour in this case though. They DID give us that WaW piece of shit.

COD4 was a lucky shot in the dark.
