I stuck with the franchise through the "Modern Warfare" trilogy, again
largely because memories of the first game gave me hope that the
franchise would reach such heights again. The gameplay of those games
wasn't too bad, but the ra-ra-America-So-Great! attitude of that
trilogy games (existant even in the original COD but somewhat subdued
by its international mission structure) was a real turn-off. So too
was the heavy-handed reliance on scripting (to the point you sometimes
couldn't even open a door without the AI doing it for you), and the
player character changing from a simple grunt into a super-human
killing machine.

That's one of the things that started putting me off. I felt the balance been a cinematic experience and a game one was lost.
