people say the abbreviation instead of the full title.. I don't mean typing on forums, i mean actually saying it.
For example Call of Duty... People now say cod and it's so goddamn annoying.
Take wednesday, i was talking to somebody at school
"YOU PLAYING ON COD TONIGHT LOLOLOL"
"NO, YOU CANNOT PLAY FISH YOU SILLY PERSON."
Some people have even started saying Gow. >.>
cod sounds cool though
Nope, it doesn't annoy me must bit and I don't see why it should.
Why waste your breath saying or typing CALL OF DUTY 5 instead of COD5.
i say cod and gears but now gow
Cod sounds good but not saying gow
It doesn't sound too bad when you add the number to it like "cod4" or "cod5", but it sounds odd saying COD by it's self.
i say cod
its not a big of a deal if someone says it irl
get over it
The only games I do that for is COD and WoW :P
No it doesn't annoy me one bit, it's easier.
I do it for COD, TF2 and ovbiously GTA IV.... I always say "Cod and chips" anyway..
Ah yes, I say it for GTA also :PQuote:

Not in the slightest as it's shorter then saying 'Call of Duty: World at War'
Erm well i say cod and gow when typing and gears wen speaking dont really annoy me
I dislike it when people call CoD "COD" irl, typing is fine. I say GTA, but cod is a pet peeve. Especially when you get parents coming into the store going 'Hi, do you have a game called.. cod something? I think it's cod..' and I'm just like, fgs.
I call Grand Theft Auto GTA but I don't say COD.
No cause all my friends and i say cod like that.
I usually abrieviate my games because its easier to say cod5
i always say abbreviated stuff like cod 5 l0l
When i tried to abreviate fable 2 and say fay no one understood me :(
Nope doesn't annoy me, when cod4 was reli popular, all my friends used to say:"Goin on cod tonitee?" didnt bother me, and now noone reli plays their xboxes anymore, but other people i kno play gow, and we just call it gears.
I think abbreviations and acronyms always have and always will be part of games titles. I know Grand Theft Auto has been called GTA for as long as I can remember and there are loads of games that have had the ends cut off them (Gears being a recent example, Heroes for the HOMM series, I'm sure there are loads more but I'm half asleep), especially with subtitles (Worms 4: Mayhem is just called Worms 4 for example). I think it's fairly accurate to say it only happens to games with 4 syllables or more, if people do it with games with less it just sounds silly. But yeah it doesn't really annoy me.
