For the 20th anniversary of Call of Duty, IGN takes a retrospective look at how the WW2 shooter reinvented the FPS, with help from one of the original developers, Mackey McCandlish, who worked at Infinity Ward from 2002 to 2010, as a designer.
From the original Call of Duty, to console ports, and Modern Warfare, here’s how Call of Duty 1 reinvented the first-person shooter, while honouring games before it, like Medal of Honor.

Call of duty change video game forever not fps
Zero improvement or new gameplay was brought by call of duty towards fps genre
What call of duty brought was Hollywood level story in video games.
Genre changing fps are
Halo (enemy a.i. squad based attack)
Project reality/ squad game
Doom
Fear strong a.i.
Far cry Rpg fps
For the worse
and helped destroy it
Buddy, it’s time… shave it bro.
1:26 That music gives me shivers from nostalgia, its the crossing of the Volga from finest hour. Amazing soundtrack.
How call of duty ruined call of duty
Didn't Halo do it first?
Medal of honors was such a suspenseful game and the old war footage that they used was amazing
As if they didn’t mention when treyarch came in clutch with black ops & it’s zombies mode!!
Thanks to halo for multiplayer
wish the conflict desert storm games didn't die, those were the pinnacle of my PS2 gaming. preferred the open ended nature of those to the scripted and restrictive Call of Duty games.
CoD was a game changer!
love how cod 2 got only 30 secs of screentime
Cod has been creatively bankrupt for years . Feel bad for those that shell out 70s a year
Thank you, Vince Zampella
And ruined it.
It ruined gaming because it signalled to developers like Ubisoft sports game developers and others kthat you can rehash your games with very little changes and gamers will buy it. Gamers are partly responsible for this too but COD stifled innovation in the industry forever. Look at the iconic games that all came out before the invention of COD vs what we get now days.
Too bad people don't realise how many patents for in game systems they have, purely made to exploit player psychology. It's literally their whole market strategy and how cod has stayed addictive.
The first call of duty if not the original trilogy needs a remake
Back when you can just read your briefing and then jump into the game instead of watching a movie and getting less gameplay.
COD is a staple in gaming, I have hundreds of games and I primarily play COD. it kinda scuks because I have no time for other games and nothing can top it.
Its been awhile but the series golden age was COD 4 to Black Ops 2 but the WW2 games was where it started
