Line 140: ** To be fair, there were a number of existing multiplayer FPS games on the PC that used p2p networking sucessfully. The real problem lies [[They Just Didn't Care\|elsewhere]]. * [[The Scrappy]]: General Shepherd is hated by fanboys everywhere for {{spoiler\|killing Ghost and Roach}}. There are probably other reasons for his [[Buffy-Speak\|Scrappy-ness]], but that's the biggest by far. * [[Seinfeld Is Unfunny]]: When Call of Duty 4 came out, it was cited as a great FPS which managed to at least help to revolutionise the genre, noob tubes and Juggernaut aside. Now, the series has been criticised for doing nothing. To be fair on this one. this is rather [[Justified Trope\|justified]], considering the engine is still the same after five whole years and the fandom's requests for more balanced and interesting gameplay have been ignored. * [[Sequel Displacement]]: While the first ''Modern Warfare'' was [[wikipedia:Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare#Sales\|well received, getting over $600 million in 8 months]], the sequel [[wikipedia:Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2#Sales\|sold even better, getting over $1 billion in two months]].▼ ** To be fair on this one. this is rather [[Justified Trope\|justified]], considering the engine is still the same after five whole years and the fandom's requests for more balanced and interesting gameplay have been ignored. ▲* [[Sequel Displacement]]: While the first ''Modern Warfare'' was [[wikipedia:Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare#Sales\|well received, getting over $600 million in 8 months]], the sequel [[wikipedia:Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2#Sales\|sold even better, getting over $1 billion in two months]] * [[Small Reference Pools]]: The only explanation possible for why the AK-47 is being used by modern Russian Federation forces. ** Before ''Modern Warfare 3'', the Dragunov SVD is also in its more well-known, wood-furniture version rather than the upgraded, synthetic SVD-M actually used by modern Russian forces. * [[Subbing Versus Dubbing]]: [http://kotaku.com/5415904/gamers-not-happy-with-japanese-modern-warfare-2 Japanese players saw themselves in the debate] over ''Modern Warfare 2''. * [[Supporting Protagonist]]: Arguably Soap in MW1, though his return in 2 makes it less so. Jackson also falls under this, along with {{spoiler\|[[Decoy Protagonist]]}} since his primary function appears to be to introduce Griggs and {{spoiler\|[[Player Punch\|show what a dick Al-Asad is]]}}. Roach from 2 plays this straight as well, along with [[The Ishmael]]. * [[Tear Jerker]]: ''Modern Warfare'': {{spoiler\|The nuclear explosion and the ending}}. ''Modern Warfare 2'': {{spoiler\|Roach's and Ghost's deaths and the Washington D.C. levels}}. ''Modern Warfare 3'': {{spoiler\|Kamarov and Soap's deaths, the intro to "Dust To Dust" ("For Soap.")}}. * {{spoiler\|Soap's death}} is particularly heartbreaking because the normally stoic {{spoiler\|Captain Price ''completely loses his shit'' when he watches him die.}} * {{spoiler\|The Russian security agent gets shot by Makarov just when he thinks he's safe. "Objective failed." scrolls across the screen}} "Objective: {{spoiler\|Stop the massacre}}." And you know that you're ''trying'', dammit, but you ''can't'', despite your best efforts. {{spoiler\|The fall of the Eiffel Tower.}} {{spoiler\|Team Metal's death, especially with Price screaming for the pilot to wait for them, and then trying to raise Sandman on the radio. Yuri's death.}} *** {{spoiler\|Team Metal's death is doubly so if you've watched ''[[Web Original/Find Makarov\|Find Makarov]]: Operation Kingfish'', as the situation in-game is an exact reversal of the one present at the end of that video: Price left behind, Sandman screaming for the pilot to wait for him.}} * [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks]]: ''Modern Warfare 2''. Complaints include the shorter campaign, the [[Continuity Lock Out]], and [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking\|most damning of all]], the plot's ''resemblance to a [[Michael Bay]] film''. Some even went so far as to complain about [[Sequelitis]]. See Your Mileage May Vary, below. ** Ironically, most of the changes that made the multiplayer unplayable were [[Self-Inflicted Hell\|suggested by the fans themselves.]]
