Call Of Duty is a Parasite in the Gaming Industry

Halo CE was groundbreaking when it was released breaking the trends of fps games at the time. All the best fps games had been exclusively on the PC. Moreover, they only had multiplayer with no story mode. Nevertheless, Halo CE changed all of that setting a standard on how modern fps games work on a console. While the game does have a multiplayer section to it, I will be focusing on the story mode section of the game.

Call of Duty is a fist-person-shooter video game franchise. This series began on Microsoft Windows and later on it expanded to consoles. At first they were primarily set in World at War ll, including Call of Duty, Call of Duty 2 and Call of Duty 3. Starting with Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, which takes place in a modern times. The series has shifted its focus from World War ll. Modern Warfare, released in 2007, was followed by World at War and Modern Warfare 2. Black Ops released in 2010, takes place in cold war, while Modern Warfare 3 released in 2011 takes place in a

When the game came out my friend Jonathan waited in line at midnight to be the first few to have the game. I was so jealous that he could play Halo 3 and all I had to play was the older out dated games. At one point I was so mad

Halo 5: Guardians, the latest title developed by 343 Industries and Microsoft Game Studios brings the “Halo Experience” to the Xbox One, utilizing the next generation hardware the new Xbox has to offer. New hardware for the Xbox also means new changes for Halo with larger maps, refined gameplay, and beautiful aesthetics. With Halo being Microsoft’s biggest franchise for the Xbox, they’re really hoping that this Halo will reignite this console seller’s popularity. Unfortunately, Halo 5: Guardians barely does that with its story and campaign falling flat on its face.

So the new fan base waited eagerly and the hype for the new game grew. The hype around Halo 3 was massive, it still feels like nothing has surpassed surrounding this game. In fact it was the biggest entertainment launch at the time

On November 14, 2001, the day of release, the Xbox sold over one million units in one month. Microsoft had purchased a company by the name of “Bungie”, in order to make their upcoming game Halo: Combat Evolved an exclusive to Xbox. First priced at $299, it was very successful in sales North America, but not as well in Japan and Europe. Halo was a big hit, and had boosted Xbox console sale because of the popularity of the game with one million copies sold in the first few months of

Over the past ten years, the Sony and Microsoft gaming divisions have been in direct competition with one another with their Playstation and Xbox systems respectively. The “console war” was at it’s all time high in the fall of 2013 when Sony was set to release their Playstation 4 and Microsoft releasing the Xbox One within the same month of each other. Fans of both consoles were excited for them to usher in the next generation of gaming. Both systems were very similar in terms of graphic capability and overall power output, so it really came down to their lineup of exclusive games and the approach each company wanted to take with their respective console that was going to determine which system would come out on top.

The rivalry between the three giants in the industry – Xbox, Playstation and PC about the best gaming platform title is going on for a long time, and our bet, it is here to stay.

Throughout the decades, the gaming community evolved as technology progressed and was able to create new technology. Due to the advancement of the gaming community, it allowed video games to grow and become advance. Even though some of the advancement may include better source engines, better coding but that doesn't mean a good or an outstanding game will be produced. Recently a new product has been introduced to PC and the new gen console, a video game called Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege by Ubisoft. But this game is a unique, promoting to give a real world and realistic point of view of a counter terrorism unit; but in the outcome of the game it was able to separate itself from the other FPS (Firs Person Shooting) game, it was able to

There's liberal borrowing from other games. It is no secret that throughout the years, Call of Duty has some pretty significant rivals, and on a head-to-head basis in the early days, the games often came off worse. 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.

The Call of Duty series vs the Halo series. People often argue that call of duty is better than halo which is 100% false. Halo is a lot better than call of duty because call of duty makes the same game over and over and people buy it because is the new call of duty. Thing is the company and publisher that owns call of duty only makes it because of the money which they have stated before and people who are into video games dislike that because it shows they do not care about the quality which is clearly seen if you play any call of duty games. Halo on the other hand started out first and Halo: CE or (Halo combat evolved) was a major

The video game market has slowly and steadily created a larger presence for itself in the entertainment industry. The largest part of the market’s recent growth (from 2005 to the present) is undeniably due in part to the video game console created by Microsoft called the Xbox 360. Microsoft was the first company to release what is called the “current generation” console, and successfully beat Sony out of the gate. Prior to the release of the Xbox 360, Sony had dominated the market with their console, the PlayStation 2. It is because of Microsoft’s ongoing innovations to enhance player interactivity and large game catalogue (especially those with record breaking sales) is why they are the dominant

The XBOX is now a 6th generation video game console that is manufactured by Microsoft. The machine itself was released in November of 2001, just in time for the 2001 Holiday Season in the United States, then subsequently worldwide. The decision to manufacture and release the system was Microsoft's first plunge into the gaming console market and designed to compete with the Sony PlayStation 2, Nintendo's GameCUbe, and Sega's Dreamcast. By November of 2002, Microsoft launched the Xbox Live service that allowed players to play interactive games online (Gamer's Catch, 2006). Looking at the evolution of the system, however, we now know that the Xbox began to be discontinued in late 2005 (in Japan) and then in early 2007 in North America. The last game was released in August 2007, and even support for out-of-warranty consoles was discontinued in 2009, with all new faulty consoles replaced with Xbox 360. Xbox Live support was discontinued in April 2010 (Whitten, 2010).

Released at the end of 2005, the technology it comprises is absolutely cutting edge, making it, according to a whole host of reviewers, the best buy available. With a wide range of features, including high quality online gaming capability and HDTV compatibility, the Xbox 360 offers a fantastic all round gaming experience. And though this version of the Xbox surpassed its predecessor after only four years, the lifespan of the previous console has been extended to a certain extent, as over two hundred of the most popular Xbox games are compatible with the new 360

It has been said that all good things come to those who wait. For the fans of the Halo series, that saying couldn’t be any truer. After the Beta release allowed fans a short peek into the new game they are most assuredly counting down the days until the October 27th release of Halo 5: Guardians. For those who are new to the series, or who have yet to give it a chance the question “what is so special about Halo?” is often asked. To answer that I say read on.
