Do you know the game series that has sold over 50 million copies all over the world? If you guessed Call of Duty then you are right! Call of Duty, the game that pretty much everyone loves. It has been around for more than a decade (ten years)! There are currently ten games and there is another one coming out called Call of Duty Advanced Warfare. So, I bet you are wondering what the other games are? Here is some of the ones that people like the most: Call of Duty Black Ops 1, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3, and Call of Duty Black Ops 2. My favorite is Call of Duty Black Ops 2 which seems to be a fan favorite.

Have you ever wondered how much money these guys make? Well let’s take Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2. It took about 200 million dollars to produce and they sold 500 million dollars’ worth of copies. Take 500 million and subtract 200 million, 500 subtracted by 200 and that equals 300, and you get a profit of 300 million dollars! They made a lot of money and because of that they created a lot of other games.

There is a game mode called zombies (in World at War and Black Ops 1 and 2). Black Ops 1 is the second game with zombies, World at War was the first. The first map on Black ops 1 zombies is Kino der Toten (German for “Cinema of the Dead”). You appear inside of a theater with boarded-up windows. Zombies come from the outside and break the boards to get in. To get points you shoot, knife, or throw a grenade at the zombies to kill them (this is the same for all zombie maps World at War Black Ops 1 and 2). There are glowing guns on the walls and doors you can open with points. The main goal is to survive as long as you can but some games do have endings. Play them to find out.

  • The Last Of Us Rhetorical Analysis

    2061 Words  | 5 Pages

    Despite there being hundreds of video game releases every year, most of these games are unoriginal and therefore unplayable. There are countless video game genres, but one of the most popular genres in the past few years have been the zombie games, also called survival games. I was thoroughly convinced that all the games in this genre were clichéd and overdone, until I played the video game The Last of Us. Even though it is a survival game, the focus is not on gruesome zombies or gratuitous violence, making it already vastly different from the others. Instead, the focus is on telling a story. Between the gorgeous graphics, serene music, and flawless acting, it already goes beyond being just another “zombie game,” but this isn’t even accounting

  • Game Analysis of Halo: Ghosts of Onyx

    Halo: Ghosts of Onyx begins in the year 2531 with a raid on an Insurrectionist base by the SPARTAN-II Blue Team. Their goal was to recover stolen FERNIS nuclear warheads, but were captured by rebel general Howard Graves; a former UNSC Marine who defected to the Insurrectionists. However, Spartan Kurt-051 manages to slip away from the team before they are captured, and helps the rest of Blue team escape Insurrectionist capture. One month after the raid, Blue Team is put on a mission to investigate a ruptured Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine. Kurt is sent ahead to scout it out, but as he gets closer to the engine, his equipment begins to malfunction. Eventually, the thruster pack he’s using malfunctions and Kurt is sent spiraling out into space without coms. Kurt is then recovered by ONI and wakes up a month later to be briefed of the SPARTAN-III program by Vice Admiral Margaret Orlenda Parangosky, Rear Admiral Ned Rich, Captain Aaron G. Gibson, and Colonel James Ackerson aboard the UNSC Point of No Return. Kurt is then promoted to Lieutenant, Junior Grade and sent to Onyx to reduce 497 volunteers to 300 trainees. Kurt test’s the candidates’ want for revenge against the alien juggernaut that destroyed their homes and families by making them perform a midnight high-altitude jump out of Pelican dropships. Any child who didn’t jump would lose their chance to be Spartans, and any child who jumped kept that chance. Even with the advanced training and Semi-powered Infiltration Armor (SPI), all 300 Spartans would die in Operation: PROMETHEUS. Kurt returns to the Point of No Return to be informed of the success of Alpha Company and to begin training Beta Company. Kurt learns that all of Alpha Company was wiped out in Operation: PROMETHEUS a...

  • My Zombie Myself: Why Modern Life Feels Rather Undead Analysis

    919 Words  | 2 Pages

    Zombies have become very popular due to their depictions of being easy to kill and being communal. Zombie apocalypses are also very relatable due to the fact that they are set in lives similar to our society and seem easy to overcome. Zombies, themselves, can be identified with because we see ourselves when we look at a zombie. Zombies drudge on through the same task of finding human flesh to consume every day just like we drag ourselves to either class or our job in order to sit through another boring lecture or perform the same menial task every day. Just like the zombie, R, in the book, Warm Bodies, said, “I am Dead, but it’s not so bad. I’ve learned to live with it,” we have learned to succumb to our daily routines and just live with

    “Zombie killings are similar to reading and deleting 400 work e-mails on a Monday morning or filling out paperwork that only generates more paperwork, or following Twitter gossip out of obligation, or performing tedious tasks in which the only true risk is being consumed by avalanche” (41). These are all similar to zombie killings because zombies will never go away unless you turn to really harsh tactics like aiming for one’s brain with a shot gun and repeating this for every zombie you come in contact with. In order to clear those 400 emails after reading them you must repeat the steps for each and every one, which is time consuming and can be very frustrating. Completing paperwork is very tedious, and can sometimes become overwhelming you may begin to feel as if it will never end which is common well it can feel similar to that when it comes to zombie killings as well because there will be one zombie followed by another one and many more to come. “Battling zombies is like battling anything….. Or everything” (42). Never assume the war is over because it is not, there will be one or more zombies hiding out, the war is never over. “The zombies you kill today will merely be replaced by the zombies of tomorrow” (44). Zombies are a “live-stock” they are brain dead but they travel in packs and have no limit as to how far they will go. In the movie Dawn of the Dead the zombies actually

  • The Cod Wars: Cause and Context

    2384 Words  | 5 Pages

    The cod wars between Iceland and Great Britain were ongoing from 1952-1976 and escalated three times throughout that period of time.1 This paper focuses on the cod war conflict between Great Britain and Iceland from 1972-1976 however a brief history of earlier conflicts is necessary in order to understand the critical period being analyzed. The conflict stemmed from the “extension of the fishery limits from three to four nautical miles by Iceland in 1952”2 this was largely as a result of the decline in marine resources available that Iceland “ for a long time been largely dependent on.”3 “The disappearance of the herring in Icelandic waters combined with a decline in export prices between 1966 and 1968 led to a drop in real per capita income in excess of 16 per cent”4 therefore Iceland found it necessary to extend fishery limits for the preservation of their economy. Britain’s initial reaction to the extension of fishing limits delivered by Iceland was a ban on processing and Icelandic fish in the UK.5 In retaliation Iceland turned to the Soviets; a large importer of Icelandic fish and “by 1955 the Soviet Union was the largest single importer of Icelandic fish and had replaced Britain as Iceland’s second largest trading partner.”6 The conflict turned from resource based to political with the potential for an “economic and diplomatic rapprochement” between Iceland and the Soviet Union7 which sparked concern among members of the OEEC (The Organization for European Economic Co-operation re-named OECD - Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development). In order to prevent closer relations between the Soviet Union and a Western state the OEEC “set up an informal group of negotiators who succeeded in preparing a resolution of the...

  • The Call Of Duty Game

    I’m the type of guy that would go out and buy a Call of Duty game, pop it open and gather all my friends and jump right into it. Call of Duty is one of the most popular games out and many people love to play. It is competitive, it has online play, and you can also create a clan or group to play against other people around the world online. Call of Duty dates back to 2003 and really wasn’t popular then because it’s all about killing your enemy. Many parents didn’t want their child to play the game. Growing up, I didn’t know much about video games, so I wasn’t really into them until I started playing Call of Duty. Not only does it have military based features, it also has zombies and/or aliens features as well.
