oops double comment |

I love Half-Life, but at least they can put out a CoD game every year.
Still a terrible game tho. |

So you have a choice:
Awesome game whose sequels simply don't come out. Ever. Game-that-gives-humanity-a-bad-name whose sequels come out once per year. |

That fat guy at Valve is such a troll. We're never getting Half Life 3. |

Seems about right, Quality>Quantity |

It'd be nice if Valve could find a balance between the two. |

Dash is constantly upset of HL3 never coming out. |

^a moderately bad game that comes out every couple of years.
On a serious note they don't even need to make any new games now that they have Hat Fortress 2 and Steam. It's basically a license to print money |

I would rather play Half-Life 2 over and over again than try any CoD even once. |

I'm particularly saddened by two things. One: this meme. Two: the fact that I could predict, at a glance, that the comment section was going to be worshipping HL2 and bashing the brains out of MW3.
It's a fun game, you know. |
| WesternBirds #935234 5 months ago |
Not to nitpick but I'm pretty sure that's MW2, MW3 doesn't have a FAMAS afaik. |
| Anonymous #935746 5 months ago |
West, it doesn't matter if it's 2 or 3. It's the same damn shit in a different wrapper every year. |
| Anonymous #936314 5 months ago |
I thought MW3 was MW2, just with new maps and little bit tweaked rules. |

Gotta be with GCoL on this one. I'm not fond of the Treyarch entries, but considering only the MW series (the ones that actually use an updated gameplay framework rather than just taking the one from the previous year and adding approximately one distinguishing feature):
1. It's fun 2. The bi-annual updates keep the metagame from getting stale (if they didn't release MW3, the "current" entry would be MW2, and melee- and CQC-driven tactics would be fairly dominant)--it's kinda like a trading card game, only instead of costing on the order of hundreds of dollars every few months to stay current in the metagame, it costs $60 every two years (again, considering only the actual Modern Warfare series). 3. To really labor the metaphor in the OP's image, taken with some of the potential plot holes of the episode, the MW series/Flim and Flam's machine are capable of of creating a product of comparable quality to the HL series/the Apple family in a shorter amount of time, and it's only when they try to "overload" the process (by reskinning MW games for the Treyarch installments/processing bad apples) that a poorer quality product reaches market; if they'd stuck to showing off the MW games/the good batch of cider, they would have won their competition. Of course, I know that my points are just going to get thrown out; Modern Warfare is much too popular among the "unwashed masses" to be appreciated by anyone calling themselves a "true" gamer, but I feel compelled to react when people try to be a special snowflake by deride the popular, just like everyone else |

^I get what you're saying but me, I'll always prefer Brink. It's a simple, fun team based shooter that requires an acquired taste to fully appreciate it. Yes the parkour system isn't fully utilized, yes a few of the maps are unfair, and yes the game is essentially assault but with both security and the resistance playing attacker and defender depending on the map. But it offers a decent character customization system, a nice array of weapons, lots of specializations for the class of your choosing, and unlike many games of today, it actually feels well balanced in terms of said specializations and weapons. Each class has their role in a map and if they wish to succeed, they have to fulfil some of those objectives like hacking comms to show enemy positions, throwing syringes to revive teammates, replenishing ammunition, setting up defences, bossting everyone's damage and health, and much more. |

I like this trope. |

Valve's titles are most likely the ONLY THING keeping the First-Person Shooter genre alive today because of Call of Duty.
A slow, painful death to that pathetic excuse for a franchise!! |

I love Half-Life and I've played several of the CoD's and I don't mind them either. Though I like the BFBC's better. What I DO hate about CoD is a little of the online and the majority of the fucks who think their hot shit cause they have a higher K/D. Won't help you so much during the coming war between humans and the Robot Brotherhood. |

Cod is like console Counter Strike. I like both games in their own ways |
| TheLoneLampman #940097 5 months ago |
^ As a long-time CS'er, I'm going to ignore that first part but will agree to the second.
Anyways, CoD wouldn't be so bad if they didn't release a new game every year and a dozen $15 map packs in between. This picture = very close. |

HL2 looks cool as MW3 |
| RubberCactus #1142100 4 months ago |
@HerbieHero
I get your point, but while CoD is kinda fun there are far better games out there. It's not that "herp, CoD is a shitty game so I won't play it". The real matter is: if there are better games out there, why should I waste my time playing CoD? |
