The Call of Duty franchise has been on a bit of a downward turn for quite a while, with both fans and those who abandoned it long ago calling it out for its numerous mistakes, inherent flaws, and failed attempts at improving. That's not to say that COD is truly awful, but rather its lapse in quality, especially in its most recent entries - Modern Warfare 3 still has a Mostly Negative rating on Steam - has allowed its competition to surpass it, leaving it well and truly in the dust.
