The Evolution Of 'Call Of Duty'

Throwback: Gamer Edition

The Evolution Of 'Call Of Duty'

Lately, I have been thinking about how technology has changed greatly since I was born. I remember playing outside at the playground or spending the rainy days inside playing video games on the classic Atari or PlayStation One. As my thoughts crossed PlayStation (yes, I am a gamer girl), I thought about how much the Call of Duty games have changed into something completely different. There are many Call of Duty games, but I will be covering the most dominant games of the entire series. Now we begin the Evolution of Call of Duty.

1. Call of Duty

This is where it all began released in 2003. I remember my dad playing this game on the PC and that is where my love for video games began. This game covers the historical battles taken place in WWII. Some of the creators of the game were actually on the team that produced Medal of Honor, another iconic war game.


2. Call of Duty 2

Released in 2005, this Call of Duty followed themes previously presented in COD 1. This was expected because game technologies were still advancing at this time. An interesting add-on to this game; when you get injured, the screen pulses red. The red indicates to get the hell out and take cover for your magic health to regenerate. This was the newest thing that excited gamers.

3. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

Hands down, my favorite Call of Duty out there. I can replay the story mode over and over in my mind again because this is just such a great game. This game was released in 2007 and the story line takes place in 2011. The plot is based on a civil war which has broken out in Russia and a Middle East group has seized power of a country that is oil rich. This action packed game won't leave you disappointed.

4. Call of Duty: World at War

Presented in 2008—probably my second favorite game of the series. The game offers a variety of classic WWII weapons, such as the MP40 or the Thompson. We always get excited to see these weapons reintroduced. COD: WAW also gave us a new game mode... ZOMBIES. We try to survive as many rounds as possible. Der Riese (DLC zombie map) released the hell hounds. Gives our zombie experience a little more edge.

5. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Extreme popularity hit the Call of Duty industry when this game was released in 2009. The story line of this game immediately picks back up from where we ended in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. The story line remains as great as COD 4 was and was well above average, in my opinion. Multiplayer became more popular and I spent most of my time ranking up. Quick scoping on Rust was especially the best.

6. Call of Duty: Black Ops

Yessss BOPS. Another year goes by and we have a new game in 2010. This game takes place in the Cold War era. The game is very dark and leaves you wanting to know what happens next. The main menu displays Alex Mason strapped to a chair and in game he flashbacks based on questions he is asked. Zombies comes back with more maps and things to achieve. I don't mean to brag or anything.... BUT I did all of the Easter Eggs.

7. Call of Duty: MW3, BO2, Ghosts, Advanced Warfare, BO3

Just yikes... I would totally go through each game and lie to you on how great they are. Unfortunately, this is where it started to go downhill. Story lines became repetitive, futuristic guns introduced, now all of a sudden we can fly out of no where?? This is just not classic Call of Duty we are used to. The game graphics are good, but it is just lacking that original aesthetic we all wanted. Of course, I have played all of these games and continued my zombie legacy. If I had a choice, I would play the last few games over and over again. This is just my opinion, but just think about it and get back to me. Please Call of Duty, bring back the originals!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
