In the early years of the new millennium, EA's Medal of Honor had a choke hold on the war shooter genre. 2003 was the year Call of Duty decided to change that. Call of Duty Classic is a revamped console version of the original Call Of Duty. Activision is giving a new generation a chance to play the game that started an evolution with first person shooters.

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"
