Call of Duty 7 / Black Ops

What would you define as a sequel then? They are offering new features, like Custom Class 2.0..

A whole new engine?

These to me aren't "new features" these are just buzz words that attempt to justify paying 60$ for DLC content. Its not an opinion everyone shares, but thats how I see it. The series has become stagnate due to Activisions need to churn out sequel after sequel of all its titles.

What makes a good sequel? Thats a tough one to answer as no exact sequel follows a set standard (COD vs BC). Although to me whats been going on with Activision and COD does not constitute a series that can receive my respect just because it can spam a sequel every year. If one believes EA business practice (madden game every year) can produce great games then go ahead and buy em.
