But why would they think the next CoD will be any different?
We're losing touch with CoD because the devs are making so that it appeals to the incoming audience. Always trying to keep the rotation of new money coming in. The only legitimate complaint about BO2 is the lag. Yes it had some balancing issues at first but making a game with so many levels/weapons/etc. there's bound to be some irregularities. They've mostly been fixed and there will always be a tier system of guns but as a whole once you play them all you learn their weaknesses. All in all if it wasn't for lag (and to some extent map diversity) then this game would rock. The community will still be the community regardless of the game,,, we're just not kids anymore and have forgotten how much fun it was as a kid to be obnoxious.... It's the same old thing, kids thinks us old foeggies don't know a thing and we forget what it was like to be a kid,,,, it's a cycle that will never change, not in life and definitely not in gaming.
Again if he's just leaving the game and not CoD in general what's to make him or you think the CoD:Ghost community will be any different. If that's try then he'll just be here next year complaining about Ghost.
