You might be right there.

I think the term was coined by haters to denigrate the sim. But just like Lord Haw Haw found when he used the term 'Desert Rats' as a put down, the men that he directed it at took it to heart and used it as a honorific.

I personally use the term CoD. But seening how I've only played Call of Duty 3 times I don't associate the sim with the FPS.
