The original Call Of Duty (COD) was an impressive title when it was released in 2003. Even though the market was packed with WWII themed FPS, COD really carved a niche on its release. In the single player campaign you were fighting right along side your squad mates. This was probably the first time in a long time that an FPS game didn't pit the player against the world. This game plays and feels like the movie Band of Brothers.
With the expansion pack United Offensive, COD continued to bring top notch action into a believable world where you and your men were set through various missions to take on the enemy. Even more impressive is that the games multiplayer component now offers drivable jeeps and different classes of tanks. Needless to say, its a fantastic update to an already great title.
Now Activisions CEO Ronald Doornink has stated that the COD will continue with a new release in 2006. It looks like Activision has a franchise not unlike EA's Medal of Honor, which also has a very loyal following. Of interesting note is that the PC version is not a console port. Thumbs up to Activision for keeping these two platforms focused in their respective areas.
