I have been around since Call of Duty 1 when it comes to the series and the last game I tried was Modern Warfare 3 for rental (bought every other game before it though). I am seeing a decline in popularity and I am a part of that decline. I began to see it when Modern Warfare 2's glitches were ignored and map packs became more of a priority for Activision and the developers. Annual games need to end. They simply cannot get enough value out of a game developed in less than two years, yet they do this to both developers and their days of well praised games are over. Don't get me wrong, both developers have some good pros (treyarch is more creative with multiplayer and infinity ward is good with campaign but I didn't like how the multiplayer felt on Modern Warfare 3.) But their reviews for critics like ign and xbox magazine are lowering and so is their endurance to keep sales up. They simply need more time to develop and get more ideas better developed with a good amount of time.
