Yeah I am not a RPG person either, but i played morrowind when I was like 12 and oblivion more recently. I'm looking forward to Skyrim as well.
Sadly i doubt that COD will actually go down since all the fanboys will still be playing it since they wont be any good at battlefield lol.
Im am NOT exited for the new Halo trilogy.... No Bungie = No Halo
True there will always be the hardcore fan boys keeping the series going, although i do know a lot of people who are huge fans of COD who have even declared after seeing all the new updates that this is the year of BF3.
Not to mention that they are also no longer going to support COD until they come up with some drastic updates in the next COD...
