Adding my two cents:

I think the problem with CoD is that it's allowed itself to stagnate. Every game is of high quality, but, at least for me, there's not enough of a palpable difference to merit an annual $60 purchase. That said, the plot in every sequel to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare was nearly as convoluted and riddled with plot holes as Heavy Rain.

I wouldn't look at Call of Duty as an example of when to not make a sequel. I think we'd be better off without Mass Effect 4: Electric Boogaloo.
