![]() ![]() In September of 2004, Gray Matter Interactive and Activision created an expansion pack called Call of Duty: United Offensive, and Pi Studios created an enhanced version the game for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, called Classic Release. Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 (2022) Call of DutyĬall of Duty is the very first game released in the franchise series, and it was originally available for Microsoft Windows. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II (2022)Ģ3. Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War (2020)Ģ2. These creative decisions never made people collectively abandon the franchise, but back when Call of Duty was at its peak, the most absurd thing players could experience was slaughtering the living dead that originated from deceased Nazis.11. The once relatively grounded war games became futuristic escapades. ![]() Although titles like Cold War remind people that this series is still willing to create stories that took place during real historical events, other games, such as Advanced Warfare, Ghosts, and the Black Ops sequels, show symptoms of deviation from what Call of Duty originally was. Its contributions to Call of Duty were important, and to this day, these features remain appealing, even after the novelty wore off.Īnother possible explanation for World at War’s impressive lifespan is how Call of Duty has changed in the past decade despite a reputation of releasing the same kind of game every year. These are probably the reasons why World at War is being played to this day. Thanks to this mode, Call of Duty got new iconic characters, managed to get actors such as Steve Blum, Robert Englund, and Sarah Michelle Gellar on board, and added even more replay value. ![]() Zombies is part of the expected full package of Black Ops games to this day. In a way, it was a precursor to the Black Ops subseries, which in turn normalized the presence of Zombies modes in Call of Duty.Īs a mode, Nazi Zombies simultaneously brought new life into Call of Duty and followed World at War’s campaign’s footsteps and added a World War 2 motif, reminding the series and its fans of how it all started. Not only was World at War’s roster of maps splendid, but it introduced a now-iconic part of Call of Duty games: Nazi Zombies. Like most games in the series, World at War shined through its multiplayer to most people. Call of Duty: Warzone, for example, introduced a mode named after the Soviet Union’s infamous gulags.įor every time that World at War’s campaign and its influence on subsequent games are neglected in general Call of Duty-related discussions, there is always a lack of doubt regarding how equally, if not more influential its multiplayer was. This return to World War II ended up influencing the game’s successors. In a way, World at War reminds Call of Duty of its roots. However, World at War is arguably just as important, with its campaign being one of the reasons why Call of Duty games were always about war, but the older games from the PlayStation 2 and original Xbox era were specifically about actual historical events, most notably World War 2. The first two Modern Warfare games are often lauded for the innovations they brought to the Call of Duty franchise, and first-person shooters as a whole. ![]()
