I'm not really putting the hammer on the series, but it's community needs to get it's act together before I can even consider getting another CoD game.
When I played Modern Warfare 1 after MW2 came out, the community became more friendly for me, mainly because the punks moved on to MW2, thus increasing my enjoyment of the game's multiplayer. I might get Black Ops if the same thing happens when IW releases MW3.
2nd Edit: Now that I think about it, I might get Black Ops just to laugh at the people. But I DO still stand on my little rant there.
