Modern Warfare Series-what up with dat? by Jack

Let’s go back, all the way back to October 29, 2003, when the first ever Call of Duty came out for the computer. It was rated one of the best games of the year. It was created by Infinity Ward, a gaming franchise, and then published by Activision. They went on to make another Call of Duty in fall of 2005, which released for the Xbox 360 only a month after the original game came out. However in 2006 when the third installment came out for the 360 called Call of Duty 3 it did not involve Infinity Ward, but instead, Treyarch. Treyarch, another gaming franchise, went on to make Call of Duty 5: World at War and are also about to release Call of Duty: Black Ops. At the end of Call of Duty 2 though Infinity Ward gave the rights to Treyarch, but took it back when they created Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, which went on to be possibly, in my view, one of the greatest games of all kind. It was a first person shooter, also known as fps, (if your not a geek fps basically means seeing out of your human character that you control) that was set in a more modern time period. All the other games up until that point that involved Call of Duty was set during World War II. The idea of this more modern type of weaponry interested so many people because it was something that was going on in our own time period so to speak. The story line of Call of Duty 4, cod4, was basically that the Russian Ultranationalist party joined up with an unknown Middle Eastern Rebel group called the Separatists and started an uprising in this Middle Eastern country. This interested the players because of its futuristic like weapons. However short it may be you will still want to play through it at least twice to fully understand the story line of it. What appealed to many players is not only the intense campaign, but also the multiplayer experience. “Call of Duty 4 has awesome multiplayer,” said a member of Ign (Video Here). One got to choose which gun he could use along with what attachments he/she could use with it. This was the start of a revelation to the multiplayer experience in almost every single game. Plus a new idea was added to the multiplayer, which was kill streaks. In cod4 they had radar that showed where the enemy’s where, an airstrike, and a helicopter. Then in 2009 Infinity Ward created Modern Warfare 2, mw2, which once again changed not only the multiplayer, but also themselves. Infinity Ward decided to add more attachments and more customizations, like instead a scope they allowed for an upgraded scope and allowed you to carry something with a little more firepower than a pistol. The also added 12 more killstreaks to the multiplayer, like a nuclear bomb going off and your team winning even if it seems as though you’re about to lose. The campaign however was short again, but was awesome. Ign stated, “It feels like a highlight real of Front Line Warfare,” and “It feels like Infinity Ward came up with a laundry list of cool stuff they wanted to add and then worried about the story to connect it.” (Video Here) However many people did think it was short, but awesome because of the graphics and story line. Infinity Ward also added something called Spec Ops, which were little missions that had nothing to deal with the campaign that either one loved or one hated. You would need to do these with a friend though because it makes them more fun and so much easier. I can not count the number of times I tried to bet them by myself with one player, but once a friend hoped in it was smooth sailing from there.
What many players liked about this series though is its multiplayer. One could add a sight to a gun instead having just to use the built in sights for example. However in mw2 one could upgrade that sight and add another attachment to a gun. This allowed one to wreak havoc if he/she could use it right. Also what people liked was the perks, upgrades to your own physical attributes, which allowed for a more powerful shot or quicker reloading for example.
Many questions though are out about a possible Modern Warfare 3. It is said to release sometime in 2011, but that is all we know so far. However it will probably not be made by Infinity Ward because two the guys that helped a lot on the Modern Warfare series left and now Infinity Ward does not know what to do (Info Here). Either than that if you have any type of gaming system and do not have cod4 or mw2 then you are missing out on one of the greatest games ever invented. If you are not into this whole killing things with guns and all I understand, but if you are then what are you doing sitting there and reading this, go out and buy it.
