nope, you're still wrong. on console maybe, but that's because cod4 was the first major cod-franchise console game (herp derp lets not count 3). so of course in terms of raw numbers, it had more players. did you play cod1? cod2? were you a part of the pc gaming community? did you follow any of the professional fps scenes back then? i know the answer to all those questions is "no".

fyi even when cod4 was in its pc gaming prime, call of duty 2 still had as many active servers/players. it kept a huge active community for many, many years after the game was officially 'abandoned' by the devs.

also lol at calling cod1 and cod2 "ww2 rehashes". they were the best ww2 fps games ever done, period. you clearly didn't play them. stop talking about stuff you know nothing about. you didn't experience it, so stop make statements as if you have the knowledge or qualification to do so. mong.
No, that's your opinion. The game sold more for a reason. I'm not going to get in to a herp derp COD 2 is better than COD 4 argument. If you ask most fans of the COD franchise they will say COD 4 is the peak in popularity and quality. You have your niche opinion about which one was best.
niche opinion? i played cod1 from release. i played cod2 from release. i played cod4 from release. i played the first two professionally and cod4 for high-level teams and also as a casual pub slacker. my opinion is niche? sounds to me like i'm the guy that has played all of the games, been incredibly involved in the community, and has watched the games rise and decline over time. what's your opinion again? not niche? i guess to be the 'normal' mainstream opinion you have to have never played cod1/cod2, like you, right? you know best, huh? rofl. you crack me up.

it's obvious that "if you ask most fans of the cod franchise" they will say cod4 because they're YOUR AGE and only STARTED PLAYING COD AT COD4. does that mean cod1 and cod2 are consigned to oblivion? and weren't the best games in the series? because you were too busy sucking on ya mum's titties to be playing it? typical roc "i'm the fps pro" attitude. dude, you didn't play. these games are like 10 years old now. you have no knowledge or experience of what you're talking about. saying that the sales figures are higher or saying "most cod players will name cod4" means nothing. cod and its playerbase have changed beyond recognition in the last 5 years - going from hardcore pc community to casual, prestige-unlocking, gibbering xbox live generation retards. doing a poll on cod today is pretty pointless because most cod gamers are aged 13-18 and thus most of them were age 5 when the game was REALLY having its pc gaming hey-day. you missed it. big deal. now stop being a fucking retard and acting as if you know best.

now you know i'm talking common sense but you'll still argue back and deny because you're stubborn and won't admit you're plain wrong. when you have literally nil experience or clue of what you're talking about. this makes you look incredibly silly.

organize by 'rank'. allseeingeye and xfire were the programs that the fps gaming community used before steam, and xfire was used as the main gaming app throughout cod4's competitive gaming era, so xfire is still the best (and only) way to even get a vague clue about player numbers. cod2 is still one of the top-played games, only just behind cod4. it is almost twice as old. roc you are talking shit.

you're a fucking idiot, too, and everyone can see it after having this last conversation with me. you lose all credibility as a 'serious fps gam0r herp derp' when you post shit like "cod4 was the pinnacle of the call of duty series". you're clearly just some dumb little kid thinking he knows everything about everything in fps gaming when you were probably too busy gaying out on 4chan to actually play any of these games. are you gonna deny that team fortress classic was a top fps game, too? or day of defeat 1.3? or unreal tournament 99? cause you didn't play them, they weren't huge competitive successes, or the best in the series, right?

nope, as i keep saying, the peak was cod1. but it is so old now that obviously i can't link you to a web-page saying "look, here's still loads of players actually actively playing cod1 right now" to prove you wrong beyond refute. but just because you can't see it now, in 2011, does that mean it never happened? cod1 kept a solid second-place behind world of warcraft throughout the entire last decade. it was an absolutely huge game. you were too young, it's as simple as that. stop arguing when everyone can see you are plainly wrong.

so you admit that you know nothing, you weren't playing, you have no clue, and admit that the opinion of people that did play and did experience is more valid. therefore you admit that cod1 and cod2 were much better than cod4 for competitive/community pc fps gaming, and you defer to my superior judgement.

it was nice talking with you.

because you don't have an argument. your basis is "ask an average 17 year old cod gamer nowadays which is more popular: the game that came out when he first got his xbox360, or the games that were out when he was learning to walk". incredible thinking. you're just plain wrong. it's nothing but hilarious arrogance to suggest you know best about something you didn't even play/experience. i was massively involved in the cod euro community. even in person, going to LAN's. i was there, playing, when the games were at their most popular. yet my opinion is "niche"? lmao. is there even a 4chan image that expresses how dumb you sound?

We must not forget Medal of Honor : Allied Assault and the role it played in helping to create what would become the "Call of Duty" experience.  And if I recall correctly, CoD2 was when it really took of, because of its popularity on the console.  But this was, of course, why it sucked so bad on the PC, it was a step back (which in many ways seems to mirror the BF2 -> BF3 transition). 

And on top of that you had bullshit like CoD : Big Red One, CoD : Finest Hour already on consoles, as well as multiple Medal of Honor titles, as well as Ubisoft trying to get in on the action with Brothers in Arms. 

Call of Duty 3 deserves an honorable mention--although it did not compare at all to the others on the PC, it is the title which came closest to replicating the United Offensive expansion pack : wide open maps and vehicles, a nice mix obviously influenced by Battlefield.  Even if it was console only, I preferred it over all the other console versions of CoD since.  I prefer my PC and console games to be "separate but equal"

Battlefield was smart enough to realize the World War 2 bubble would pop and went modern, months before CoD2 was even released.  And again, CoD4 was obviously influenced by it as they took the UAV and unlock/rank system and expanded it to include perks, which added spice at first but has not been significantly improved for... well, thats about 4 years ago now.  lol.

So now it has gotten to the point where instead of Battlefield innovating and leading the way, it was too intent on beating its competitor/leech.... and we have all seen how CoD handles a lack of new ideas.

Also, uzique may be a prick but anyone worth their salt will agree with him.

cod2 wasn't on console. you're thinking of cod3. cod1 was the real take-off (yes, building on the popularity of a lot of other very decent ww2 games... allied assault was very notable, as was day of defeat 1.3). but cod1 was the real first 'big' ww2 team-based multiplayer shooter, and totally birthed that entire genre (counter strike and team fortress had been doing their respective things completely separately). cod1 was the bomb. it's a shame that fucking cocky 17yo mongs these days think they know everything about stuff that was before their time. i'm only 22 and i experienced all this ffs, it's just sheer ignorance/arrogance.

a good shout mentioning call of duty: united offensive. huge scale, massive maps, bigger servers, tanks and vehicles. a call of duty 1 expansion pack. it was also huge. though of course roc will tell me it wasn't and i'm "niche". rofl.

edit: i stand corrected, cod2 was on the xbox360. it was a downgrade from cod1 gameplay wise, i agree. i didn't even play that generation of console game (early xbox360) because i was so immersed in the massive, active and competitive pc gaming community. though apparently that didn't even exist before cod4...
