Lock and Load we’ve got some seriously
cool cutbacks that will definitely take
you by surprise welcome to watchmojo.com
fact in today’s installment we’re
counting down the top 5 Call of Duty
facts not on what we’re all about no
mission too difficult
before we begin we publish new videos
every day so be sure to subscribe for
more great content for this list we will
be looking at some of the fun and
interesting facts about the games
themselves and the cultural impact of
the Call of Duty series I mean that
graph is like hunting a shadow number 5
Call of Duty has the code name Medal of
Honor killer it’s hard to imagine a
world where Activision’s Call of Duty
series isn’t the top dog in wartime
first-person shooters but before 2003 it
was EA’s Medal of Honor series that
stood atop the proverbial videogame Hill
it was also around this time that a
rivalry was beginning to develop between
the two companies Activision was looking
for a game that would compete with Medal
of Honor and began development on the
first call of beauty it’s clear that the
designers weren’t trying to mask their
intentions giving their games a less
than discreet codename medal of honor
Keller in retrospect they’re cheeky
competence appears to have been well
founded this is what we’ve been training
for good luck number four the series has
sold over 250 million copies to put this
number in perspective if you would hand
out a copy of every single Call of Duty
game ever sold to each person in Canada
the United Kingdom and Mexico you still
have roughly 28 million copies left over
since 2003 the cod franchise has been
one of the video game industry’s most
consistent properties selling more than
250 million copies worldwide that number
is enough to put the series in some
pretty elite company rubbing shoulders
with Grand Theft Auto and The Sims and
with a new game always on the horizon
they’ll have only one place to go up
you’re a long way from Texas farm boy
number three create a class was inspired
by a board game players lay out tiles
one at a time to create a board this
series has been synonymous with the cod
series since it was first introduced in
call of duty modern warfare
but the system has changed drastically
since then according to trot game
designer director David Vonderhaar the
big changes to the crater class system
in black ops 2 were influenced by an
obscure gym and board game called
Carcassonne in which player slowly
builds the board by flipping over
landscape tiles and connecting them
appropriately through the slow evolution
and adaptation of these mechanics
vonderhaar and his team were able to
develop the unique and lasting pick-ten
crater class system I’ve used all 10 of
my possible combinations so there are
others my sharkon class number 2 game
footage it has been used as propaganda
pop in the most recent Call of Duty game
and you’ll be amazed at how realistic
the game footage is gone are the days of
clunky pixelated images replaced by
immaculate shots of action character
design and landscape the look and feel
cinematic perhaps this is why a North
Korean propaganda agency decided to use
the footage from call of duty modern
warfare 3 in this strange video the
footages of New York City under attack a
scene that takes place during the game’s
campaign in which the Russians invade
the Big Apple they even used an
instrumental version of we are the will
as accompanying music so they were just
pulling from everywhere
[Music]
number one activision takes care of real
heroes veterans do great for companies
all across the economy from large
companies like Verizon and Starbucks to
small technology focused startups
they’re making contributions everyday in
everyway if you start it can be easy to
forget that the cod franchise wouldn’t
exist if not for the real soldiers who
have fought and died in countless
conflicts over the years these are real
men and women and some of them still
need our help
thankfully Activision is doing their
part they started the Call of Duty
endowment group in 2009 an organization
that is devoted to helping veterans find
new jobs the company has donated
millions of dollars to the group that as
of 2015 has helped over 20,000 vets find
steady employment as always it’s
refreshing to see a huge company like
Activision doing their part to help the
people who risk their lives now this is
truly a great event and it’s a great day
for us as we believe this endowment will
have a real impact in combating the
issue of unemployment that so many of
our proud veterans are facing do you
