To keep it short, I find it amazing how people still care for this franchise, even though it severely lacks innovation and is just a huge cash cow for Activision.
In my opinion Call of Duty as a series reflects everything that is bad with modern gaming.
I agree that it lacks innovation and that it is a cash cow for Activision. It's not necessarily amazing how people still care, before Call of Duty there wasn't a lot of realistic (I'm not saying CoD is realistic.) shooters that were available at the time. You had Medal of Honor...and well that was kind of it. Then in 2003 Call of Duty came and well...the rest is kind of history. Picture it, your in the year 2000 and you're already bored with MoH. You think "Man! If only someone else would release a cool WWII shooter that is at least a tiny bit accurate!" Then BAM! 3 Years later and holy crap CoD! Was very well received and had some great gameplay. Back then it used to be about the story and the gameplay, but now it's all about the multiplayer. That's the only reason I play CoD games anymore, because my friends do and it gives us something to do when we're bored. (Although IMHO it just makes me even more bored then before). It's not the whole series, it's everything after 4. WaW was ok, MW 2 was...too similar to 4, and BO was too similar to WaW (IMO). Now MW3 is similar to both 4 and MW2. They should just take a 10...no, a 5 year break from CoD and revamp the series. Actually come up with some new ideas instead of the same recycled garbage they give us now.
