Little did most gamers know is that the original Call of Duty got it's start as a World War II shooter on the PC. After all the countless sequels and now a shift to a more modern approach, Infinity ward decided to give their fans a special treat. The original Call of Duty. Some of us (like myself) got the game in the Hardened or Prestige Editions of Modern Warfare 2 a month earlier, but now everyone can get the game on the Xbox Live Marketplace or the Playstation Network."
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"
