After playing Titanfall beta... (Destiny)

I understand where they're coming from. Titanfall, in many ways, is the true sequel to COD. It plays like COD, but with... you know.... more?

This is what the COD series really needed in a sequel, not dog killstreaks and whatever, but actual innovation on the gameplay.

In the same way, Destiny seeks to do this with Halo. From here, people seem to connect the dots to mean Destiny is new Halo, no need for Halo anymore. Not true.

There is still a place for Call of Duty as there is Halo and Destiny and Titanfall, because black and white evaluation of games as good-better-best doesn't align with actual player trends.

Example: A million and one FPS's have been spawned out of CounterStrike and thus their sequels, have more and iterative features and gameplay must be better and will be played instead of CS... expect that people still play CS, exclusively and over all other choices. Just the same way people play Pokemon Red still (with 70,000 hands on one controller) or how people chose to stay with Halo 2 after Halo 3 came out, up until Halo 2's death date.

So I don't believe is truly a "killer", unless the game is so indistinguishable from the one it killed that people often forget they aren't playing the one before.... So, really, the same game.
