Much of the rest of it would be bandwagon jumping, but I def don’t need to tell you that. I think this is part of the explanation of the general skepticism of CoD. The IW CoDs have been gaining a ‘been there, done that’ rep with their games since around the time of MW2, and 3 only exacerbated it, so it’s going to be hard for them to shake. From a business standpoint, I can understand them doing this, simply because in their eyes, ‘if it ain’t broke…’– it made them (well, their Activision overlords) a shit tonne of money, so why tinker a winning formula? But I think the consumer had a far more cynical attitude towards this approach, which is why you’ll see a marked difference with consumer reviews being much more negative in general. They have that ‘lazy’ rep because of MW3, when they basically took MW2 and slapped a new coat of paint and the most minor MP tweak and called it a brand new game.
