User blog:N7/the history of call of duty

hello n7 here, i am here to talk you through the history of the genre defining saga... CALL OF DUTY.

CALL OF DUTY first started out as BATTLEFIELD 4, which was released in 1983 for the sega mega drive. The game featured americans and russians shooting eachother in various countries (something that would later go on to become a major part of the call of duty series) and featured a revolutionary first person camera view. after the creators of the game fell out with evil overlords EA, they left and joined gabe newells new company... ACTIVI$ION and founded Treyarch. EA went on to make 2138 sequels to the battlefield series, with the newest game BATTLEFIELD 2142 due out next year.

although Battlefield 4 was panned for its poor graphics and gameplay, many critics praised the revolutionary "microtransaction" system

Treyarch's first game was CALL OF DUTY 4: MODERN WAREFARE which was released in november 1986 for the xbox one™ and featured many improvements over the poor graphics and clunky controls of BATTLEFIELD 4.
