Just a little personal with Call of Duty


Personal with Call of Duty



            My personal experience with Call of Duty started pretty early.  I played Call of Duty 2 with a few friends just after it came out.  We played the multiplayer on the Xbox 360 over at a friend’s house for hours at a time.  I instantly became a COD fan then.  Though I wasn’t the best out of my friends, it didn’t stop me from enjoying myself, and doing somewhat well at the time.  Not too long after that, Call of Duty 3 came out.  My friends and me really started getting into it then.  We would all meet up at a friends house, get on his Xbox, and just go at it for hours online.  I started getting competitive with my friends, and people online.

            Just a few years after that, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare came out, and I got it for myself my gaming passion took on a whole new approach.  I began to play everyday, there wasn’t a day that went by that I didn’t play Call of Duty.  Not long after I started, and realized I was pretty good at it, I started playing with clans; which are a group of people that get together having the same name so people can associate them with each other, and they play against other groups working as a team.  I joined on of them named; Zero Degree’s it was basically just a mix of people I knew in real life, and people I had met online.  We did a few Gamebattles; which are clans going against each other.  In bigger MLG; which is Major League Gaming people actually make quite a lot of money off of just playing games, that is if they win.

            I didn’t really get on the bandwagon when Call of Duty: World at War came out.  I just stuck with Call of Duty 4.  I started Quickscoping, which was a lot of fun.  Quickscoping is when the player uses a sniper rifle, usually bolt action and when someone comes within their sights, the bring the scope up, only letting the scope stay up for under a second, usually not even able to see their target before they fire, and kill the target.  It takes a bit of skill to get it down, and since most sniper rifles are one shot, one kill it is a quicker way to kill than bringing the scope all the way up, and waiting for the right moment to fire.

            When Modern Warfare 2 came out I started playing it, and was just as good at it, if not better than I was at Call of Duty 4.  The clan I was in sort of broke up as people in it drifted away.  I basically just played the game by myself for a while.  In all my experiences with the Call of Duty genre I most likely clocked the most hours in on Modern Warfare 2.  I played on three different accounts.  My prestige’s on them were 4th, 5th, and 7th.  The Call of Duty companies brought out another game; Call of Duty: Black Ops.  I played it for a while, but got kind of bored of it quickly and went back to Modern Warfare 2.  My time on Black Ops was short.

            I joined another clan not too long after I went back to Modern Warfare 2.  The clans name was MaZe.  They focused mainly on quickscoping, and trickshotting.  Trickshotting is when you do complicated movements, and do a combination of things, while jumping off something in game before killing another player.  I wasn’t the best at trickshotting, but I was a damn good quickscoper.  I stayed with that clan up until just a few months ago.  Not too long after Modern Warfare 3 came out, which I am currently playing a lot of and enjoying it to it’s full extent.
