Line 1: {{work}} {{outdated}} [[File:call-of-duty-logo-1552.jpg\|frame]] '''''Call of Duty''''' (Or CoD when abbreviated) is a series of [[First-Person Shooter]] games mostly set during [[World War II]], as the ''[[Spiritual Successor]]'' to ''[[Medal of Honor\|Medal of Honor: Allied Assault]]'' after the exodus of some 2015Inc. staff, who would go on to form Infinity Ward. The series is developed mostly by either Infinity Ward or Treyarch and published by Activision, famed for its immersive storytelling techniques and engaging multi-player mode. So far, the series has appeared on the PC and has has also appeared on most major consoles and handhelds. A [[Card Games\|card game]] has also been announced. Unlike the rest of the series, ''Call of Duty 4: [[Modern Warfare]]'' takes place in a modern setting and contains a brand-new, fictional campaign mode involving the United States, United Kingdom, Russia, and the Middle East in a nuclear weapons plot. Soon afterward, a spin-off, ''World at War'' (often referred to simply as [[Better by a Different Name\|Call of Duty 5]]), brought the series back to its roots as a [[World War 2II]] title. ''[[Modern Warfare]] 2'', aka "Call of Duty 6" was released on November 10, 2009. While the game has been well received by major reviewers and console gamers, PC gamers [[Internet Backdraft\|were upset over the removal of dedicated servers]], which resulted in the loss of [[Game Mod\|game mods]] and being able to pick one's own server (let alone administrate them), and the reduction of the number of players to 18 per server. ''[[Call of Duty: ~~Black Ops\|Call of Duty~~ Black Ops]]'' was released November 9, 2010. The story centers on Alex Mason, an American squad leader who is probed on his exploits in Cuba, Vietnam, and other areas. Oh, [[Win Back the Crowd\|and the PC version has dedicated servers and game mods again]]. ''[[Modern Warfare]] 3'' was released on November 8, 2011. A direct sequel to MW2, the game mainly deals with Price and Soap hunting down Makarov, along with the global war that has engulfed the Western World. Line 15 ⟶ 16: Though the series earned early fame as one of the finest WWII shooters on the PC, it didn't really take off on consoles until the fourth installment. Each of the latest two editions of the series has set its own record for the largest launch in entertainment history. ---- {{franchisetropes}} '''Please add any examples relating to the ''[[Modern Warfare]]'' sub-series or ''[[Call of Duty: ~~Black Ops\|Call of Duty~~ Black Ops]]'' to their dedicated pages.<ref>unless, of course, they also apply to the main series</ref> Likewise, add tropes relevant to Nazi Zombies in... well, [[Nazi Zombies]].''' {{tropelist}} * [[Acceptable Break From Reality]]: We're not sure how Japanese soldiers get a hold of Russian machine guns and prototype Nazi rifles in the ''World at War'' multi-player mode, but hey, [[Rule of Fun]].
