This is starting to get into a different topic, but I'm going to share a secret with you.

CoD's graphics have always improved and they are better pixel by pixel, as in they use more, but game mechanics make games like doom better. Your first game almost always seems like your favorite becuase its your first experience. I've played Halo and Cod mostly so I have some respect for CoD, the reason why Halo 1-3 held up and was largely popular for around 2000 - 2010 was becuase it was so innovative like Doom. Of course, games like doom where the first of their time but it was far from perfect. That's why other FPS games came in, to improve of the original. This is the thing, people love to slap un-original to everything. Heck, you could argue the same thing for music.

You all hate CoD, you think it's terrible and that it should die, but I think the real truth is, is that nobody is good at it. 8-10 year olds that start playing a FPS like CoD can start to move up and be better. If you think CoD is not all about winning then you are 100% wrong. Destiny was made by Activision, and this crazy plan they had for CoD and Destiny.

There are two types of people, people who go for the experience, and ones that go to win. If you would rather win, and be happy for your victory and the loser's loss then you are a goal driven player and you would play CoD. If you are a experience driven player you will go for Destiny. Activision is so popular becuase of their goal driven gameplay. You can even hear the mic of the enemy after you kill them, for the reaction of you winning and their loss. You can talk now, but before in Destiny you could not even talk, Destiny is all about the co-op, the gear, the experience.

I'm not even going to point out how much goal driven and experience gameplay Bungie (The makers of Halo 1-3 Notice they didn't make 4, Reach, or ODST?) put into Halo. The only reason why Bungie kinda fell apart is because they got kicked off Halo by Microsoft and Microsoft picked Bungies best and sent them to different places.

People in today's world have seen big companies go far without even trying to add new mechanics, but instead making better graphics and changing the apperance.
