I agree that cod4 is somewhat "old" now. But if many of you remember, I only bought this game to play with you dudes and dudettes. I NEVER play this game without you guys, so I look at cod4 like a meeting place for up to 18 cags! If the beta allowed it, and everyone had it, I'd be up for that. If all the folks we play with had ps3s, I'd be up for a mass socom or resistance session as well.
I think where the value lies (for me) in still playing this game on Thursdays is that EVERYONE has it, it's east to jump in and play, and it's always a ton of laughs and good conversation.
To be quite honest, when I pay too much attention to this game, I realize how horrible I am at it, and how little I enjoy it without the social interaction with the cags and cpnks.
Anyways, I agree that this game has overstayed its welcome, but it's a great meeting place, and I'll always enjoy a friendly knife-tickling moment with the cags!
