I was one of those who would say COD sucks. Even still today, I'm not totally interested. Though, once you experience the game with some good friends, it's not half bad. I actually had fun shooting at other players and like Garrulous said, it can somewhat be therapeutic. It's not a game I would buy on the first, heck, I can hardly afford games I really want now. With that said, I wouldn't mind playing it again with some friends. I also believe one of the things that made me really dislike this franchise in the past are: hardcore fans and the fact that there's a ''new'' game every year with little new content. That last reason is also why I've become really distant with the Mario franchise. Other than Mario Kart, I've got little to no interest on Mario games.
