Quoting Thrax

Serious Sam wasn't a major title. It was the token gift game bundled with select video cards!

Thrax are you suggesting that Serious Sam was not a major leap forward in shooter design? A game with a meat head hero sporting a blond flat top, and shooting massive hordes of aliens, mostly while backpedaling?

Serious Sam was a revolution in shooter design!! (yes, I am kidding)

Okay, I have a real argument this time, and frankly, one that your not going to be able to avoid a fair comparison on.

Call of Duty 4, immensely popular, and a damn fine game, and a community driven online shooter experience. Call of Duty World at War, released exactly one year after 4, while 4 was still immensely popular and had a huge community (I think it was still the most played game on XBL, and it was #2 on PC behind WOW).

Are we saying the Call of Duty 4 community should be crying a river over the fact that World at War probably split part of their community??
