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.
