Call of Duty is the Best First Person Shooter.

SALES As you mentioned earlier, Call of Duty actively has a very large sales pitch, achieving a life times sales of over 124.5 million. (. http://www.vgchartz.com...) This fact alone show's that, yes no matter what your opinion is of the series your still compelled to buy. These numbers show that it outclasses other FPS games in sales and revenue which are key factors in this debate. KILL-STREAKS Whether it be a joy of calling in the AC-130 to lay waste to the enemy team, or calling a M. O. A. B or Tactical Nuke, one cant deny the enjoyment of kill-streaks. For those who dont know, kill-streaks are a mechanic in the game, which allows a player to call in air/ground support to further enhance assist their team or earn more kills, based on the consecutive number of kills one gets. It can be anything from a small plane that shows the enemy location to taking control of gunner of an attack helicopter. Kill-streaks are an innovative part of call of duty, that many FPS shooters lack, they keep the game fresh and enjoyable and are the source of many challenges and enjoyable moments in the game. TEAMWORK One thing about call of duty is teamwork, no matter how you might look at this, it is evident that you need a team to win. Though their may be problems, such as campers, ragers and rude teammates which make this difficult. Partying up with friends and working together to secure objectives has always been a fun experience. EFFORT Just search on you tube about Call of Duty and you will find it isn't an easy game to master. It requires strategy, planning, and really good aiming skills. You have to plan where to place certain things, where to camp take cover, etc etc etc. Very few people can just pick up the controller and start wasting the enemy team. Call of Duty is a skill based game which requires effort and time to master. CAMPAIGN LENGTH AND FUN The campaign is a very important and integral part of the game, yes other games have campaigns but non have the intensity and the general entertainment of the Call of Duty campaign. At times your a ranger defending your homeland from the Russian army, or silently sneaking on the a nuclear terrorist in the middle of Chernobyl. Call of duty offers you a wide range of experiences that you can get to be take part off. Another key thing about Call of Duty, is that it allows you to empathize with character, which give you satisfaction when the villains die, or distress when the protagonist is killed. CRITICS LIKE IT The simple fact is that, the game receives top scores every time, from top gaming reviewers such as metacritic and IGN. I think the main point here is that a professional multi-million dollar reviewers wouldn't give a "A bullet buffet with a stealth mission or two does" the highest ratings in History. MAPS When it can comes to maps, Call of duty is one of the few games, that gives the player a wide variety of maps. Which can range from a suburb in the USA to a Mall in Germany. The variety in size and location make it innovative and fun. ------------------- Overall, Call of Duty is an absolute must play for those who have never experienced the beauty of video games. It's been around for a while, at the price of only $60. Pretty good deal if you ask me. Then again, according to sales, you and your family members own at least least two copies that are kept in every household, so there's always that.
