Call of Duty lives in an odd space, I am guilty of buying it much more often than I should.
The problem is that the people I would want to play with stop playing the older games, so if you want to play with your friends and get a half-decent matchmaking experience then you have to get the new ones.
There's also a minor problem with the older games, people get so good that the enjoyment is sucked right out, it's nice when everyone is unfamiliar with the balancing/movement/etc in the first months, it evens the playing field a lot.
(also, older and thus cheaper/free games lead to a lot of cheaters who don't care if they get perma-banned).
