Call of Duty – Then and Now

Call of duty hit it off well in 2003 with their first release. I remember going to the local internet cafe and paying for about two hours’ worth of gaming on the LAN hosted by that cafe.

Since then, the CoD franchise has released about 44 titles, with the latest release being Call of Duty: Vanguard. It would be great if you could make parties of more than 6 players a side...

The series has also grown exponentially and is one of the more well-known competitive esports titles today, with the highest grossing payout of around $1,390,592.80 to professional player, Crimsix, payout data last updated July 2022.

If you’re looking to get cracking on a title that offers action-packed maps, and scenarios where you have different objectives that we all have come to associate with FPS games like CoD, then you should look into this one.

Through the Blizzard Battle.net client, you can play Call of Duty: Modern Warfare for free and sink your teeth into the experience of being a gunslinger on the frontlines while competing against other players.

And recently announced, you can Pre-Purchase Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II for early access to unlock incredible rewards and perks for getting yourself on the frontlines and partake in gunslinger action in first-person view.

Once you hit pro leagues, you can look at clocking more hours, sliding across the debris, jumping over walls, in some instances, running along walls or knocking off your opponents through a scope.

You can expect to be met with as much ferocity as you give the playing field while competing for payouts, prize pools, merch, tournaments or trophies, and you will undoubtedly be able to say that you are having a blast while taking shots to the face.
