I dunno, COD's fine for what it is. The newest one actually has some really well developed single stages. Weirdly enough, I'd argue that it's underrated if anything since people bash it pretty often without playing it. This is speaking as someone who used to do that very thing.
Don't get me wrong I strongly dislike COD for multiple reasons, namely spamming headshots, perfectly accurate sniper rifles with minimal recoil, the entire spray-and-pray mechanic in general, the worst Spawn design of probably any game ever, overall miserable maps and the fact that if you buy their games on PC you need to buy an entirely different game to play on a Mac which literally no other company has ever done because it's stupid.
That makes it a sort of bad franchise for me, but if lots of people enjoy it then let em. It's not like they're doing anything malicious, this isn't horrible mass appeal daytime television defending rapists or downplaying genital mutilation or anything. I woudln't call the series overrated, just appealing to a different audience.
Now Destiny, that's some overrated garbage if I've ever seen it.
