Call of Addiction Warfare
I’m not the largest Call of Duty fan out there, I don’t buy all the dlc packs, I don’t particularly enjoy Black Ops, and I find myself growing ever more cynical about the lack of cooperation amongst teammates when playing the more recent titles in the Call of Duty franchise.
That being said, I still play Modern Warfare 2 like a fiend. Its as if I have an addiction to the game which wouldn’t be a total surprise as I often ride passenger to my addictive personality. I hit the prestige cap long ago and I can clearly remember numerous nights of playing round after round of the fast paced and twitchy shooter. Most likely, after I finish this column I will proceed directly to my PlayStation 3 and fire up Modern Warfare 2 and play a few rounds.
Just what is it that draws me back to playing the Call of Duty games time after time? Why do Call of Duty games persistently outsell equally good, if not better, other first person shooters? What does Call of Duty have that other games don’t?
