If you’ve ever picked a gun in a video game, you know how it feels, right? Senseless killing, death, and
destruction have been a recurring theme in video games, for ages. As of now, nobody does it better than
Call Of Duty series. Whether you like it or not, changed the First Person Shooter genre forever.
The first
COD was released in 2003. Developed by Infinity Ward and published by Activision, it was a massive
success. Cenetered around WWII, it was one of the games that did justice to the concept of war, and came
with a decent multiplayer mode. Owing to the masiive success of the first game, it was followed by it’s
second installment. Quickly COD3 was released. COD, till Black Ops 2, is built on heavily modified Quake
III engine.
After the underwhelming success of COD2 and 3, the developers decided to to follow a more
modern story, leading to Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare. It was first in the series to be set in modern day.
It is one of the better Call Of Duty games to ever grace the pantheon of gaming.
In an industry where older
titles are forgotten in the blink of an eye when newer titles hits the market, COD has managed to provide
gamers with their annual fix of killing and bloodshed, with at least one game released every year, since
2005. To meet the demand, the franchise has stuck to sub-standard releases, many times even patching
the game a say or two after that release because the alarming number of bugs in it. The quality of the
games after World At War is very inconsistent. Modern Warfare was a good game with bearable story
line, and some amazing missions. Black Ops was released in 2010, with a story centered around the Cold
War, which was slightly more successful.
Even though those were all the major titles in the series, there were
many little spin off titles, for the PSP, the PS Vita, the NDS, the WiiU and even iOS and Android with games
like Roads To Victory and Strike Team.
After multiple mistakes (in th form of Modern Warfare and Ghosts),
Infinity Ward has one more chance to prove itself. To restore the franchise back to its formal glory, after
two massive fails. If they could have one more master stroke, they might be able to restore every gamer’s
faith in them.
We all know that no matter how badly critics slam the game, fans of the franchise will still
line up outside shops, and buy it like a hungry hoard of sharks being fed.
Call of duty isn’t flawless, but it is
a pretty good game. It advertises fast paced action, ridiculous kill streaks, and inhuman player tactics.
Call Of Duty is a game most gamers love to hate.
Hunt deadly machines in tactical three-player co-op action and adapt your Hunter for intense missions.
I signed up for the closed beta. I need to see how the gameplay is first and foremost.
This looks like a MH mixed with modern Battle Royal concepts. My problem is that big studios are less and less making SP games and more are focusing on MP games with a focus on live service. I just don't care about playing with other people and thereby being 'sold' the idea that I have to keep feeding money to play with them and look cool doing it. I'll keep looking to Indies for my SP fix most of the time it seems.
MonsterVine: "My Hero Academia: All’s Justice delivers explosive arena combat and a strong roster, but uneven singleplayer modes and frustrating encounters hold it back."
Valve writes: "Our goal of shipping all three products in the first half of the year has not changed. But we have work to do to land on concrete pricing and launch dates that we can confidently announce, being mindful of how quickly the circumstances around both of those things can change. We will keep you updated as much as we can as we finalize those plans as soon as possible."
Who the fuck wrote this. Modern Warfare was a success on one line and a fail on the other? Wtf are you talking about. This was so confusing to read!
When COD calls, just let it go to voicemail.
