Saying "do you want to play CoD tonight" is different than discussing why the gameplay of CoD is good/new/innovative/whatever.
I actually did see people discuss the campaign of the new CoD (or maybe the one before) because it was actually fairly unique for them. Other than that, the only time I hear about CoD is people talking about how much money it makes, how bad the skins are, or things like that. It holds almost no relevance in game discussion circles because everything they did well has been innovated on since then.
People talked about how smooth and responsive CoD 4 was, because it was innovating. People don't talk about the mechanics of whatever the latest CoD is, because it's not doing anything worth copying.
not talking about "do you want to play cod" but hey at least people talk about it

I also see posts about it often on [email protected], although admittedly I don't pay attention to the usernames of the people who make those posts, or the usernames of the people commenting. But I'd doubt the comments are all just @Cethin talking to themselves ;)
