Me and Call of Duty


All I really wanted to say here is to try and explain my position with Call of Duty (PS3 for me), as I am sure that I will mention it a lot in some of my other articles.

Putting it basically,Call of Duty 4, I love it. Ever since I got the game with my PS3 in its bundle, I've hardly not gone a week without playing it at least once. I would go as far as saying that it is one of, if not the best, First Person Shooters I've played, and maybe even one of the best/the best games I've EVER played.

Now I really liked COD4, and a great deal is down to the fact that it is set in the present day(ish) and so therefore seems a great deal more fun. Despite this, when Treyarch made Call of Duty: World at War (Infinity Ward are the ones who made COD4) they decided to go back to WW2, even though it seems that that genre has been overdone quite a bit.

This seems to make the game not as good, and i think there is something about the graphics that makes it seem less appealing than COD4, for me. The gamplay seems a little slower, the multiplayer seems like it is just wrong ( Sorry I cant explain it :D) makes it far less popular than the first. However it does have one redeemable point that works really well. Nazi Zombies.


Now for those of you who don't know, Nazi Zombies pits you and up to 3 allies in a cornered off building (by invisible walls anyway) which Zombies (of the Nazi variety) are trying to get in and kill you. Now you have to stop this by boarding up the windows and walls, and killing the zombies with all the guns that you find in the building. The zombies also come at you in waves, with a little break between each wave. You also get points for killing the zombies and repairing the blockades, which you use to buy guns and access other parts of the building.

Now what i really like about this, is that simply, it works so well. It is almost like a complicated tower defense except it is a lot more involving. If you have never had a go at Nazi Zombies then i urge to do so and soon as possible.

Also! Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (a.k.a COD6) is coming out in the winter and as long as it is fairly similar to the original, there will be very little complaints, as the first game worked so well. If they keep their great Internet they should have no problems.

That's about it for now people, you probably hear me talk more about COD4, 5 and even 6 in the future,

Laters people.
