    In my playing experience, going from CoD4:MW to CoD:WaW and CoD:MW2 the games got a lot more twitchy. I haven't played Black Ops all that much (to be honest, it's by far my least favorite out of all of them) but now that I'm thinking about it, weapons did seem more powerful than in the previous three. I have not yet played MW3 at all. I'm having enough fun with Battlefield 3 that I doubt I'll ever play another Call of Duty game.

    On another note, I have to say I was quite disappointed with the Battlefield 3 single player experience. Between the weak campaign and the poorly-implemented cooperative mode, it really feels like DICE was trying to imitate the successful single and cooperative player elements from the recent CoD games. Unfortunately not only did they fail to innovate, they failed to even create an acceptable facsimile.
