The PlayStation 2 era titles are a prime example of this, with Medal of Honor: Frontline and Black being far superior to the COD series. It was only with the release of the next-gen consoles, when Call of Duty 3 came out, that it came into its own, having borrowed from the aforementioned titles. …show more content…
You can complete some COD games in a matter of hours. Where they more than make up for this is the multiplayer modes. They are engaging and create competition.

The Eighteenth Amendment, created during President Wilson Era, prohibited the manufacture, sale, and transportation of alcohol. The Eighteenth Amendment was created because of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) that said that drinking alcohol causes a lot of problems in the society, but the WCTU couldn't establish any law for the prohibition of alcohol. So the Anti-Saloon League (ASL) was created to advance the ideas of the WCTU. The ASL convinced politicians to support the Women’s Christian Temperance Union using pressure politics.

Although, many would find Mario and Pokemon to be the most popular in the video game industry, first person shooter games are in fact much more popular today. Two examples of first person shooter games that are popular in today’s market are Call of Duty and Bioshock Infinite. Even though first person shooter games are quite popular among the gaming industry, they still contain violence.

Call of Duty, Mortal Kombat, Grand Theft Auto, and Doom. Many know these games for their violent nature, stemming from their graphic scenes or gameplay involving shooting or beating up opponents, and these factors have caused these games to stir up quite a bit of controversy. For the last few decades, people have debated the effects of these games on the people who play them. Many believe those who play the games become more aggressive as a result of their violent nature, while others argue that playing the games has no effect on one’s behavior. Society should realize that violent video games have, at most, minimal effect on players’ behavior.
Call of Duty and Halo are both FPS games. They might look similar but they each have its own story and playability. Not to mention some other game modes each game has. In my opinion having another thing to play in the same game is important because I makes you want to play more the game.
Let’s analyze this. Halo and its single player campaign held a vast universe and followed the Spartan warriors into battle to save the Earth from the alien invasion of 2 different races while Call of Duty has switched from World War 2 and the Modern era. I must say, the World War 2 story lines were quite boring, being the same in almost every way, but the Modern Warfare story line caught my attention. With the evil villain Makarov and the twists and turns the story made in Modern Warfare 2, I was on the edge of my seat. But, Halo was in every way better in the single-player front. Following genetically enhanced Spartan warriors into battle fighting off hordes of aliens I was amazed with how deep the story got and how Bungie used every asset they could to enhance the story further in a not so crazy way.

Call of Duty , Left for Dead, and Halo are all video games where you get to play the executioner. You have the say so the switch, to decide the other person's fate . A very similar concept is applied to the capital government with capital punishment. The death penalty has been a controversy for a long time now .There have been many arguments, debates, and even innocent people killed because of the topic . The death penalty is a very harsh decision that is made and many are against or for it .
It makes me feel like that because you are protecting somebody or trying to protect someone from trying to kill them. I also like the game because the graphics are good and you once you complete one mission, there is another one for you to do directly after.
As technology as progressed, more people, especially youth, take part in playing video games. There has been an steady increase of video game usage because of the fact that video games have become more life-like and realistic. While they have become more realistic in aesthetic ways, they have also become more violent in content as well. Games like Call of Duty
