It honestly depends on the player. I've played BF2, BF:BC2, CoD 2, 3, 4, MW2, some of CoD: WaW zombie mode, and half a dozen other modern warfare shooter games in the last two years.I'm talking value for money and if you're denying CoD isn't at least solid in that department then you are denying reality.
That's close to 10 freaking games all in the same genre, all doing the same thing, the same guns, the same sound effects, the same styling.....
Exactly how much you get out of your $60 now is entirely relative to your experience with the genre. The _only_ reason BC2 has gotten 100+ hours of me is because I have friends to play it with. The _only_ reason. It was the _only_ reason CoD 4 got that much out of me. The value of that "realistic" combat experience is swiftly diminishing for a lot of people who enjoy shooters, and makes me, at least, consider how much I'm willing to pay for the exact same experience every 6 months.
Sometimes it feels like if the production values are high enough, and someone blatantly rips off the last upgrade MP scheme from the last major success, then you're guaranteed to get noticed. Because that pretty much describes Black Ops to a T. Even the new Medal of Honor game managed to not suck completely in some people's eyes simply because enough money was spent on production values and promotion by guys with beards.
