2. THE BEGINNING: 2003
• Call of Duty is a first-person shooter video game that was developed by “Infinity Ward”
and later published by Activision. The self-titled “Call of Duty” is the very first installment
to the series and franchise; it was released on October 29 in 2003 for platforms such as
Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Microsoft Windows, PC, Mac and many more.

3. INTRODUCTION:
• Call of Duty is one of the most, if not the most popular first-person shooter video game. It
has a very large fan base and truly set the base for many other first-person shooter
games in terms of graphics, controls, and story. Call of Duty introduced a new take on AI-
controlled allies who support the player during missions and react to situational changes
during gameplay. This led to a greater emphasis on “squad-based” play as opposed to the
"lone wolf" approach often portrayed in earlier first-person shooter games.

4. CAMPAIGN:
• The Call of Duty campaign, one of the greatest perks of the game itself. The story has got
to be the most original aspect to the game, it gives you the feeling you're watching a
movie that you are controlling. The levels aren't just levels where you have to go from
point A to B and shoot everything and everyone in your way. The levels are vast
scenario's in which there is always something going on and surprises await for you
around every corner. The levels are filled with great cut scene moments and surprises in
which you have to fight for your life and that of your companions. It really is one of the
great game modes within Call of Duty and they are very well created and planned out for
every game release.

5. MULTIPLAYER:
• The Call of Duty multiplayer experience is also something which really made the game
something special. With two controllers you could fight side by side with a friend within the
campaign mode; and with “live” or online access you could also take your skills to the
battlefield in various game modes such as “Team Deathmatch”, “Free for All”, “Gun Game”
and many more. The most popular game mode within the multiplayer playlist is “Team
Deathmatch” it allowed you to fight alongside 5 other teammates whom were playing
online somewhere in the world as you battled 6 other enemy hostiles who were also
playing from somewhere in the world, it’s such an amazing aspect and experience that the
game holds.
