CoD as a response/insult

[Starfoth The Burgundy Silk Rug]

Is anyone else slightly annoyed when people try and use CoD as a response? I haven't played CoD since the really, really old ones (around the WWII ones), so I don't know much about the series, and that becomes evident as you read.

Regardless, I continuously see people mention CoD as a response to criticism.
Examples based off of actual topics I remember seeing:
[Google+]
Person 1: I enjoyed Deus Ex, but I think it's ridiculous that you find like 1 bullet in every gun, really breaks my immersion. Deus is an RPG and I would rather spend my time playing then scavenging/looting nonstop for ammo.
Person 2: If you want a game with ammo, go back to CoD or battlefield and don't whine.
[Gamefaq]
Person 1: Anyone play the recent MGS? Why do they only send like 5 guys on reinforcement? It's like there is no reason to stealth it because the punishment for getting caught is an alarm and a couple guys coming in. I wish the response was heavier.
Person 2: This isn't CoD and not ever game needs to be like CoD. Don't play MGS.
[Steam HITMAN World of Assassination]
Person 1: What do you think are the strengths and weaknesses of every hitman game?
Person 2: Absolution has no strengths; nothing good can come from trying to appeal to the CoD crowd.

I see responses like this here and there and it is somewhat annoying. CoD is completely irrelevent in each of these scenarios. Anyone else see responses like this? Any good examples?

Questions? Comments? Did I say something dumb? Feel free to correct or discuss with me in a civil manner if you disagree with what I said.

If you want questions or comments, go back to CoD.

Just kidding. Many people, being insecure in their choices, cannot stand any criticism of things they like, because they perceive it as criticism of them personally. So they respond knee-jerk to criticisms by dragging out the bugbear of the day, and these days it seems to be Call of Duty.

I play mostly rts/turn based, but i see lots of these stupid comments

I don't think you said anything dumb at all, my whole problem with CoD and just like you haven't played since CoD 2 on the Ps2 not a bad game for the time but not the best.

Now all I see with CoD is it caters to that hypo teen market that can't pay attention for more than 10 minutes and the devs know this.
They make the same game every year with the same gameplay only a few tweaks here and there, its a well knowen title that feels like it was made to make money nothing more it a formula that works so why change it when you can get $60-$80 per copy then pump out a tonne of DLC that are nothing but map and weapon packs.

So to me its nothing more then a cash grab of a title.

Little effort for big money.

You're just saying that because you're a dentist.

You should have said Springsteen.... though Cyrus is probably just as scary.
