In a world dominated by Modern Warfare and Battlefield not many people take the time to really look and see where these huge titles originated from. Infinity Ward has taken time to remaster an old classic to remind you of where the Modern Warfare series came from. Call of Duty Classic is a ported remake of the last generation Call of Duty: Finest Hour, but can this old veteran still make an impression today?
Andrew says: "The intrinsic values of COD are the following: memorable campaigns, meticulous multiplayer marathons, and lobbies populated by screaming 12-year-old kids that think puberty is the evolved form of Jigglypuff."
Call of Duty has come a long way
Call of Duty has come so far graphically (sort of, barely passable by today's standards) and absolutely nowhere creatively. Why do something new with WW2 when you can re-re-re-re-re-redo the same old WW2 troupes and settings that have been done to death. Why sit down to write interesting characters with compelling story arcs when you can reuse the same flat 2D characters that are the same archetype and same the same lines you've used in all your games. Why create a new fun secondary mode when you can beat the zombie's concept to death some more. Call of Duty certainly isn't the game to show "how far we have come"
