Call of Duty is my favorite FPS game. Think it is the only FPS I “enjoy”. I had played like 25% of Far Cry due to its beautiful scenery. Then it became dark and zombie-like. Stopped playing. Tried Far Cry 2 to test my laptop graphics. Awesome! But still, too difficult on easy mode. I get bored.
Team Work
What I like about Call of Duty franchise is that you are never alone. It is strongly focused on Team-work. You see your team mates, they talk to you. You work together. It is much less scary than other FPS games where you are running along in a dark jungle or building full of zombies.
Recruit mode is really recruit
I’m not a pro gamer. I play on the lowest difficulty available. I can easily walk with 10 enemies in front of me and they will not shoot me. I take my time to kill them. Point is, I do not have to “stress” in order to complete a mission. Autosaves happen very often and exactly just before a difficult moment. No need to try same event like a hundred times again and again before getting it right.
Vehicles
You get opportunity to ride helicopters, boats, vans all in a seamless manner. e.g. you just finished a mission in a building and at the top, you find a helicopter, you just board in and start flying. No need to wait for a loading screen or something. It’s a seamless transition.
Conclusion
If you need to relax and play a game, Call of Duty recruit mode is awesome. I really don’t want to try the expert level for now. I just need to enjoy 🙂
