The only reason why teamwork is bad in CoD is because nobody uses teamwork. They're just soloists. Almost the only time I see teamwork going on is if you get hitmarkered and you ask your friend to kill the enemy while you heal. If Call of Duty was a much more teamwork based game, weapons such as the MP5K from MW2 would be much more popular, as it'd cover your teammates better in CQC than a UMP45 could, even though the UMP45 can 3 shot at nearly any range, as the MP5k can do the exact same thing up close, except faster. In the Call of Duty universe, you want things that will help you hold your ground wherever and whenever, which is why AR-SMG hybrids are some of the most popular weapons in Call of Duty Multiplayer.

And when I see someone get their Battle Hind and Helo Pilot, I don't see much teamwork going on, just a player trying to pool in as many kills as he can in any means necessary, even if it means having their sexual orientation and appearance questioned.
