The Impact of Call of Duty The Call of Duty franchise has brought many different changes in my life for the better. Call of Duty has introduced me to my best of friends to this today. Call of Duty made all of the difference in my life being one of the biggest factors in my life. Without Call of Duty I would not be the same person I am today. Summer of 2010 started the forging of friendship with my best friend throughout high school and still to this day. The grind was real, and it was on the best Call of Duty game of all "Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2". As teenagers we replicated the stereotypical teenagers playing any first person shooter, the teenagers who talked smack the whole time no matter how the kills were achieved or how good our score was. We were the kids who personified the term "noob tuber", making every lobby rage with frustration as we both just laughed enjoying every second. This experience brought me closer with him and we still continue on playing Call of Duty to this day but acting as mature young adults instead of teenagers. Our friendship based off of playing Call of Duty would withstand high school and proceed to rooming with each other in college. …show more content…

Finding local kids to play Call of Duty with was slightly hard being the population peaking around 9,000, we somehow found ourselves in the same lobby somehow through shared connections and started conversing and playing together. We then kept playing together and soon found ourselves hanging out becoming best of friends. To this day we are still best friends continuing playing Call of Duty and hanging out with each other. To think Call of Duty helped bring one to be deemed as one of the most quite kids in school to my best friend is

    The graphics of this are amazing compare to the previous Call of Duty games. In the story mode the characters have a more realistic look compare to previous games and some games that came out in the same year. The amazing graphics of this game made the player have a different experience playing the game.

The fish in the water have excellent details that almost look like the player is the one swimming. Treyarch also did an excellent job in the designs of the guns.

    ... Grand Theft Auto since my early teens, and games like the original Doom and Duke Nukem back when I was real small, and don?t consider myself influenced by them. I look at games as more of a way to pass time and have fun with what they offer. I think that having people kill simulated people with a controller is far better than having them out on the streets aiming a gun at bystanders. If people do not have the logic to comprehend the right or wrong of situations in games, then I think it says more about the quality of person, not the content of the 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.

    Friendship: the most important part of our high school years that we cherish the most. Every good friend that has come into our lives, like footsteps that we encounter along a walk on a beach, leaves us with a different perspective of who we really are. The activities that we are involved in throughout high school introduce us to life changing friends. My freshman year, during track, I met one of those special friends. We ran the same distance races; together we shared that special bond as teammates. She's always been an extraordinary athlete, who runs with her heart, who I have always looked up to. At the district championships we were warming down together. I told her how she inspired me and that I felt that she was my hero. The next thing I knew I found myself singing. She made me stop before I could finish, otherwise she would have started to cry.

    We've known each other most of our school lives, but we never really "hung out" together until the seventh grade, when we all went to Junior High. There, cliques were formed; the popular and the unpopular began to separate. Most kids joined in massive groups to eat lunch. But we found each other and stayed in our group of four. Why?...because with our small group we could share our opinions and be heard. In those big groups, it's hard to get your opinions out. Another reason is because we shared a common interest: computers and computer games.
