I have been playing Call of Duty 4 online for about 2 weeks now. I believe I'm pretty addicted to it, despite the fact that I don't feel it is as solid a game as Team Fortress 2 as multi-player gameplay goes (I play/love a lot of TF2.) Why do I have these strange urges to play COD4 instead of the jewel that is TF2? It's all in the leveling.
I never was strongly drawn to the infernal level grinding that is WoW or Everquest, but having enjoyed both; Elder Scrolls:Morrowind and Oblivion, grinding is nothing 100% foreign to me (shut up). Anyway COD4 has leveling AND the fast paced action my TV-mind so craves. So, Infinity-ward are evil-fucking-geniuses, so if they EVER make an MMO don't buy it, lest you be slaves. I'm going to go play Call of Duty now.
