I have never been a hug fan of the Call of Duty video games, and I never will be. The only CoD game I have is Call of Duty: Finest Hour. It's one of the first CoD games made, and... in all honestly, it kind of blows. The first 30 or 40 missions are alright, but after that, this one in whatever country it takes place, it's so stupid, and it's pretty much impossible to beat. The farthest I've ever gotten in the mission after 5000 painstaking attempts at blowing up the entrance that the Germans were using to get into the damn place, was when I have to hold off more enemies so that whatever retarded Sergeant dude can live, but that's where my issue comes in. It seems as if though you can't save him, because literally 5 seconds every time after I start that part, it says that "Sergeant DeHart was not saved." Wow, really? He's got that little of protection around him that he can't last longer than 5 seconds? Now, I've seen several YouTube videos of this mission being beaten, and the uploaders make it look extremely easy, so I don't know what the hell I'm doing wrong... and that's what made me mad at the game I had. I haven't touched it in over a year or so. I believe I got the game for Christmas 2 years ago. I think last summer (in 2011) was the last time I played it. For some reason, I played a lot of SpongeBob Squarepants: Battle for Bikini Bottom this past summer (in 2012).
Back to Call of Duty, though. Recently - I think just a week or so ago - Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 was released. Everyone who has played one or two of the games from the series says on the YouTube comments and just everywhere on the Internet that once you've played on of the CoD games, you've played them all. I completely agree. Every single CoD game out there has the exact same general idea to it: it's a first-hand shooter game where you go around, killing enemies and getting from point A to point B without dieing. The missions start out easy and then get harder as you progress, obviously (any gamer knows that, even the soft-core ones). I think there are like 15 or so titles in the Call of Duty series, all of them following the exact. same. theme. But oh wait, you say this one has better graphics and an improved and more updated map than the last game? Woop-dee freakin' doo. That's like saying you should get the iPad 4 if you have an iPad 3 already because it has a faster processor and an improved camera. It's almost ridiculous how crazy some of those gamers go when another CoD is made. Even so, that's just how business works. Companies do whatever it takes to get money out of peoples' pockets. If that means by making the same type of game over and making a huge hype about it how it's sooooo much better than the last game, they'll do just that.
Not too much else to really say on the topic of Call of Duty, kind of a specific topic that can't really be broadened out anymore. So... yeah, I'm gonna end this now so I don't blabber on too much.
