no, if you listened to biased critics maybe, but go to anyone thats played cod and they'll probably say it sucks, they need to get rid of cod and just have treyarch make a zombies game every 2 years or so.
Generally the single player campaign is pretty mediocre at best; and the Multiplayer can be fun from time to time but it's not the best thing out there.
Extremely overrated. For years CoD has just been repackaging itself. Same graphics, textures, gameplay, coding, everything. But it's like Madden where everyone keeps buying it even though it's the SAME GAME. But it's more head-scratching than Madden because at least Madden gives you a new gimmick and new rosters every year to sucker you into buying it.
Not anymore. If you'd asked this 2-3 years ago I'd say yes. Right now? There's not as much promotion or hype around it. CoD still has a market and fanbase but the series peaked with Black Ops 2. It's not overrated.
The only reason I say no is because the hype started after Modern Warfare 2 and has since calmed down. I don't mind people playing it, and I don't hear as much about it being played as I used to.
Well people are starting to realize that most of the recent ones have been crap and that they are rehashing the same stuff every year, so no. They aren't bad games and there are some really good ones

true true. I remember when the first Black Ops came out EVERYONE was talking about for the first few months, but nowadays you don't really hear about the games as much outside of the internet.
No. Just no. Call of Duty is has always been a great franchise and still is. It put Xbox 360 on map but makes top notch multiplayer games for all platforms.
I remember arguing with a guy named Biscuits on the TFW forum who thinks Halo is better than Call of Duty and thinks Gundam is better than Transformers He always like to disagree with the other board members on anything and claim he's never lost an argument. so obviously a guy who thinks he's smarter than most people cause he can't like the same things as them. He says things they won't agree with like how he thinks instant spawning makes the game less fun or how custom classes make shooters unbalanced. The later I find ridiculous because power weapons are extremely unbalanced in Halo compared to anything else. And probably thinks CoD's gameplay is unbalanced cause of calculations no one cares about.

Time to play the devil's advocate. IMO unbalance and CoD are almost synonymous with each other. I've played pretty much every CoD multiplayer since CoD3 and ALL of them have unbalances, some more than others (such as MW2). Sometimes the unbalanced issues are even game-breaking such as with Black Ops 2 and its f*cked up spawn system.
I personally feel it's overrated, but there's no arguing on its impact in the fps genre. CoD 4 and MW2 were some of the greatest fps games I've ever played. But now it feels to bloated, with new games coming out every year which hardly change anything.
It's not really "overrated." It has a select fanbase that it aims for - casual gamers. It's an arcade, laid back, fun shooter with little to no thought required - and there is nothing wrong with that. That said, it's not my thing.
It started out as a promising franchise and it fairly built that franchise with reflective warfare games that told a developed story with a unique flow of individual characters however its biggest downfall was direction. Although it started great it progressed badly and consistently distanced itself from its own roots and beginning. Now with that said, I do think its in the middle of overrated and overexposed I`m not the biggest fan but I do see its potential and I wonder if the creators see the same thing that`s where it becomes overrated to me its being misused even in its own market a yearly formula for this type of series discredits and brings forth misconceptions that pollute the past reputation of what it once and originally represented.
I truly think people don't know what overrated means. It's not another word for bad guys. This thread is proof enough that the CoD franchise isn't overrated. Everyone has discuss only there disdain for the series here without a slither of praise. This is something that is prevalent all over. Rarely, have I seen anyone praise or complement CoD, and the rare times It happens the poster is teared to shreds. So no it's not overrated it and its fanbase are thoroughly hated an aptly rated.
