This was the case with Advanced Warfare which I bought to solely experience the single player after recently enjoying Black Ops 2 and Ghosts campaigns even if they had flaws.

Strangely, unlike most people I do not buy the games for their multiplayer, shock horror. I’ve always enjoyed their single player campaigns and have some good memories of some fun sessions in the games various multiplayer modes. In fact, the very first game I played on the Xbox 360 was Call Of Duty 2. Even though I wouldn’t call myself a fan of the series, I have played a COD game on every console since the GameCube. The series began with WWII and has since made its way through to Modern Warfare, back to WWII, on to the cold war, into the future in Black Ops 2 and stayed in the future with the recently released Advanced Warfare. In fact, its accomplishments have led other video game developers to create multiplayer only games in an attempt to get a small piece of the COD multiplayer community pie. Not only this but the developers know who their fans are and because of this the games have evolved over the years, this can be seen with the massive emphasis placed on multiplayer. Hardcore gamers look at COD as a video game solely for “casual gamers” who are by definition gamers who have inferior skills and only play the most popular releases of the year on console so therefore cannot be considered “true gamers”, at least in their opinion anyway.Ĭall Of Duty’s secret to success and survival is its ability to reinvent itself year after year with each new addition bringing something different to the table. The attainment of becoming an international phenomenon has naturally led it to accumulating its own very substantial amount of detractors. The success of each release has helped it garner an ever growing following of hardcore fans and helped turn it into a household name. The video game franchise known as Call Of Duty (COD) has spanned well over a decade with nearly 30 games released on various platforms.
