    This dude has got it the wrong way around. It's not a case of "if it's not COD we're not going to play it", it's more a case of everyone else wanting to make their game like COD and people getting tired of that.

    When games stop trying to emulate COD and give us something other than a Modern Military Shooter, they actually do well;

    Borderlands
    Bioshock
    Deus Ex: Human Revolution
    Left 4 Dead
    Team Fortress 2
    Portal 2
    Tribes Ascend
    Halo 3/ODST/Reach

    CoD killed the genre for everyone but CoD, it's plain to see. BF3 is the only one to have some moderate success in the CoD era.
