‘Call of Duty’ By Caitlyn Peters

In 2003 Call of Duty was released and 22 other games have been added to the franchise. Activision (owned by Microsoft) produces the game which is based around World War II primarily fighting nazis and battling zombies. Most recently, “Modern Warfare Three” was launched; it’s expansive with numerous game modes and high-quality graphics. The game is rated M for mature, and critics have referred to it as a poor game with a rating of 55 on “Metacritic” making “MW3” the worst-rated Call of Duty game yet.

This game has been entertaining for me personally, offering online play and a simple story with complex missions linked to it. This game has connected with over 30 million people worldwide, with almost two hundred thousand playing simultaneously. With the addition of updates frequently occurring the game will stay relevant for many years to come.
