No, the game sells because people enjoy it. And not because people have crap taste is games. You're just blindly jumping on the hate bandwagon for no reason. "Seriously kids, quit buying this trash...." That's not an argument proving the game is trash. That's just an obnoxious opinion that's being shoved down the throat of Bungie.net since MW2 and it's getting old fast.
Also, what the Hell does the structure of your paragraph have to do with your argument against CoD? You said "spawn-kill-spawn-kill-spawn-kill-spawn-kill". Now unless you meant you spawn, kill, die spawn, that's still not an argument since that's all you do an a FPS period.
Learn to argue before you play with the big boys kiddie, your done here.

Everything you said here is just proving my point. There is no clarification as to why the game sells. And then you go even farther to reinforce my point that Reach and H4 took no skill (and consequentially provided these two games with drastically declined population counts).
And P.S, not only are you enforcing my point, but your intended counter arguments weren't thought out at all. Spawn killing? Where did I mention this? Read a paragraph all together next time. A paragraph is meant to be coherent, meaning all things are tied together and flow accordingly.
But....you still haven't proved a point. And it's worse because, again, you contradicted yourself. If Halo Reach and H4 both fail(ed) in the competitive aspect (and have sequentially fell to mediocre population counts, meaning nobody likes the game anymore) then wouldn't it be logical for a game like COD to fall drastically in popularity the way it's been since COD 4?
This is assuming an understanding that FPS games are innately competitive.
I said in another thread (sort of relevant):
Different genres are tailored to different audiences. FPS, for one, is innately competitive. Though K/D is stupid, I care to win and try my best. I'll definitely enjoy pooping on kids in social and just screwing around, but the real thrill and drive in a FPS is the competition. Not to mention it has me playing the longest.
Think of League of Legends dude. Not competing (or not trying to best your opponent) in that game is like not even playing it.
And COD doesn't provide any kind of structure to allow you to "win and try your best." The essence of the FPS has been mortified beyond belief in COD and this is why its popularity is unsettling. Extremely baffling.
