CoD has potential, like any game, but its not being used. Every year CoD is the same thing, exactly the same thing, the guns and maps are just reskinned, the Campaign is short and has some crappy story that tries to be deep and meaningfull but is overall just a 3 hour long run and gun session. The MP is the same thing, it may be fun for a bit but it gets extremely repedative after the first couple of games. The Extinciton mode is basically zombies re-skinned to have alien dog thingies, oh and they added dogs, wow, so amazing, not like that has been done before. Games like Battlefield, GTA, Assassins Creed and such bring in ingenuity, Battlefield 4 has massive destruction and un precadented scale (allthough I do hope that the next Battlefield isn't modern, it could be argued that BF4 is more like BF3 Version 2, but it does change more than CoD does), GTA V speaks for itself in its awesomness, Assassins Creed brings us one of the greatest stories ever to be played in gaming, wheras CoD just stays the same. I find it sad and overall undersevred that CoD Ghost sold more than GTA V, GTA V is just on a whole new level (Ghosts took 1 year to make while GTA 5 took five years to make). Oh and the community, Im not saying all CoD players are like this, but I think CoD has one of the worst gaming communities in existance, Battlefield players are much more mature and better team players, GTA players are generally looking for a good time (yes, they may troll you, but when you play GTA online you have to expect to be trolled). I gotta say, I think the FPS with the best community is Planetside 2, easily, play taht game and you will be amazed at how awesome both the game, and the people are (6000 player servers, 3 massive continents, 100 person battles are standard).

Also, I am not what you would call a "CoD Hater", I do not hate anything without a reason, but Call of Duty ghosts has given me mutliple reasons to dislike it. I think the only real reason I would ever buy it is for the splitscreen, sadly splitscreen is dying and CoD ghosts is currently the only next gen game that has it (I think), but apart from that is overall the same thing we played last year, and the year before that, and the year before that.
