Call of Duty
During this semester break I am spending the holiday at my hometown which is a bit far from the urban area. The only internet connections available here is through dial-up connection and limits my internet activity to checking emails, Facebook, and blogging. To kill time, I borrowed the Call of Duty CDs from a friend. My gaming activity has slowed down since my PC broke down a few years ago. My HP Compaq Presario V3700 laptop specification will only allow me to play some simple and light games. I intentionally bought a laptop instead of a PC because of the portability and I want to limit my gaming activity. With a PC I’ll be wasting most of my time playing games and might be ruining my life once again.

I was so bored this holiday so I asked my friend for some old games that I can play on my laptop. He suggested me to play the Call of Duty (COD) which is a first-person shooter game in the background of the World War II. The game was released in 2003 by Activision. Because it is an old game, I can play it on my laptop without any problem because the laptop specification exceeds the minimum requirement of the game. Comparing to some of the games I had played, COD is a good game because it allow players to be in several different scenes with different characters. At the start of the game players will play as an American soldier in a mission to rescue France from German invasion. Then players become a Russian sniper in missions of taking Stalingrad back from the German and the capture of Berlin to see the fall of Nazi.

COD has four difficulty levels which are rookie, regular, hardened, and veteran. I’ve selected regular since it has been a while I haven’t play any first-person shooting game. Playing at regular level was not as hard as I thought. There were some missions that I need to replay several times before completing the level but most of other missions were quite easy. I should have played in hardened level for more excitement. This is because I am not satisfied that I manage to finish the game in only three days. The storyline should have been longer because previously the shortest time for me to finish a game was about a month. I was also not satisfied when other soldiers don’t help me when I’m being shot when handling special weapons such as the flak cannon or machine guns. Other than that, the game is great relative to the year it was released and I would give it a rating of 4/5.
