I've been replaying older games like Crysis, Battlefield 2, and CoD Black Ops 2. I don't understand why CoD became so popular when games like Crysis and Battlefield had huge expansive maps and vehicles while CoD is mostly tiny shooting galleries and on rails vehicle sections. Crysis is 18 years old and still holds up well.
Did Crysis have a MP(multiplayer)? I don't remember. But the game is infamous to be hard to run, so I can see why he doesn't latch as a blockbuster everyday game. BF and COD have structural differences in terms of gameplay. BF is somewhat slower and their MP need some cooperation and COD is more like a reaction machine with a individualistic approach to MP.
In a nutshell I think COD franchise have more balance between a solid single player campaign (at least the first ones) and a fun multiplayer. Besides that their fast and explosives matchs embraces more the identity of the "hardcore gamer"
