Agreed that Metacritic isn't at all reliable and needs to seriously get lost. Still, I like how desperate he got over something like a user review score. The internet's full of trolls and will give a bad review if it's the "in" thing, which is easily proven over the terribly low score it was given by the people.
Truth is, it's not a terrible game, it just wasn't touched upon enough to make it a brand new $60+ purchase. It's like they slapped on a few new protagonists, incorporated a few new guns and special effects, and then spent the rest of the time swinging their arms wildly and jumping about the office making chimpanzee noises.
As what I hopefully consider to be a fair reviewer, I say: "You're going to have to try harder than that to keep that best selling franchise title, Call of Duty."
