Anyone with a more deliberate, tactical playstyle will probably not be impressed with the CoD franchise (except the first one, which was pretty awesome).

Which is a shame, considering it's supposed to be a military themed shooter. As someone else on these forums so aptly put, modern shooters are a "pastiche of military combat".
Yeah, thats my experience too. I do much better in slower paced shooters with higher TTK. I really enjoyed and excelled in Section 8: Prejudice, for example, which had a relatively high TTK and a much slower pace (though you were exeptionally mobile in that game).
