The Begining: Call Of Duty

Created by many of the same developers that brought us the Medal of Honor series of World War 2 first person shooters, Call of Duty includes both single and multiplayer game modes.

Call of Duty begins in northern France the night before D-Day. Your mission; secure the landing zone for the airborne assault. Once completed, rendezvous with your squad and eliminate the German flak anti aircraft batteries. With your squad fighting but dwindling can you plant your explosives in time?

The single player missions in Call of Duty are very intense and offer a new aspect not found in other World War 2 first person shooters. With a squad at your side it's no longer one man against the German army. Your squad members are entirely computer AI controlled, the over all AI for them and enemy soldiers are very good.

Call of Duty offers 3 campaigns beginning as an American Private, a British SAS soldier and a Russian Soldier fighting in the streets of Stalingrad.

The mutliplayer mode of Call of Duty offers more than the Battlefield 1942 style deathmatch. While this is an option Call of Duty also has objective based multiplayer missions. Charging head on into a German Chateau to obtain secret documents can be costly. Being killed will force you to sit out the remainder of the round as an observer.

Call of Duty offers an exciting new aspect for first person shooters and delivers action packed fire fights that leave your hand twitching for more.
