Coming Up!
Guys before I start off the video I would just like to everyone watching this video
right now to subscribe to my youtube channel!
Join the black tarzan army today!
Anway, let's get right into the video!
We rack off ten incredible facts that even the most diehard Call of Duty fans may not
know.
Millions of gamers have come to love the Call of Duty franchise, which shouldn't come
as much of a surprise.
The Call of Duty titles have revolutionized the way we play FPS shooters, and have delivered
some of the most incredible story campaigns, and shocking moments.
Whether you're a diehard fan or even a casual player, here are ten amazing Call of Duty
facts that we bet you didn't know!
1.
Cancelled Call of Duty titles.
We previously covered the top five cancelled Call of Duty titles, which included Call of
Duty: Tactics, Call of Duty: Devil's Brigade, Call of Duty: Vietnam, Call of Duty: Combined
Forces and Call of Duty: Roman Wars.
One of the most surprising things about all of these cancelled Call of Duty titles is
the fact that none of them are set in the future.
It's possible that over the next several years, the Call of Duty franchise may continue development
on one or more of these cancelled titles, which would be great news for the Call of
Duty community.
2.
Call of Duty Makes More More Money Than Hollywood.
Despite the community's concerns that the Call of Duty series is in decline, the franchise
is still hitting record numbers that even Hollywood can't accumulate.
In fact, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 grossed a staggering $755 million in the first five
days of its release, which is three times the amount that Star Wars: The Force Awakens
generated in the same amount of time.
The Call of Duty series may be starting to lose sales, but it's no secret that the franchise
can make more money than even the biggest Hollywood blockbusters.
3.
100 Million Call of Duty Players.
In 2014, Call of Duty released a fact sheet of information about the Call of Duty franchise
and it stated that over 100 million people have played Call of Duty at least once in
their lifetime.
To put those numbers into perspective, 100 million people is more than the population
of several countries (even combined).
For example, the United Kingdom has a population of only 70 million.
4.
Call of Duty Propaganda Video.
Believe it or not, North Korea used footage from Modern Warfare in an anti-USA propaganda
video.
To be more specific, North Korea used Modern Warfare 3 footage from its reveal trailer
to demonstrate the U.S under attack.
The video titled "We Are The World" seems to show a nuclear rocket circling the world
before eventually blowing up New York City.
5.
Call of Duty Boosts Music Sales.
The Rolling Stones are one of the UK's most successful bands, but when the launch trailer
of the first Call of Duty: Black Ops released, The Rolling Stones noticed a massive increase
in their sale numbers due to the game's usage of their song.
Although a predicted number of increased sales cannot be determined, The Rolling Stones nevertheless
saw their record sales skyrocket after the first Black Ops trailer, which is pretty impressive!
6.
Infinity Ward Worked on Medal of Honor.
Before Infinity Ward began development on the Call of Duty franchise, the team previously
worked on Medal of Honor Allied Assault.
After EA's frustration with Infinity Ward not meeting deadlines, EA decided that they
would prefer Medal of Honor to be developed by them, instead of a difference development
team.
This left Infinity Ward out of a job, so they decided to approach Activision to develop
a new first person shooter, thus creating the phenomenon of Call of Duty.
In fact, Infinity Ward hated EA so much that the developing game (Call of Duty) had the
working title "Medal of Honor Killer".
7.
Call of Duty Developer Spark Unlimited.
At one point in time, Spark Unlimited was going to be Call of Duty's third gaming developer.
The chance to become a developer for the Call of Duty franchise was given to Spark Unlimited
with Call of Duty: Finest Hour.
Call of Duty: Finest Hour was a success, but unfortunately Activision decided not to continue
working with the development team as they went over budget by $2.7 million.
Finest Hour was to be followed by Call of Duty: Combined Forces but when Spark Unlimited
was fired, the title was cancelled.
8.Call of Duty Red Carpet Premiere.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 was one of the first gaming titles to ever received a
red carpet premiere.
The Modern Warfare 2 premiere took place in London's Leicester Square and was a massive
success.
Fans of the Call of Duty series even had the opportunity to meet some of the voice actors
from the game including Bill Murray and Kevin McKidd.
9.
Call of Duty Reference To The Rock.
Modern Warfare 3 featured an exact replica of the bathroom from The Rock.
It's not entirely clear why the developers thought of adding this into their game, but
it's a nice touch and a very cool fact.
10.
Call of Duty's Most Controversial Scene In Gaming History.
Modern Warfare 3 features one of the most controversial missions in gaming history...
"No Russian".
The mission allows players to take part in an act of terror by shooting hundreds of civilians,
although shooting civilians is optional in the game, media and game critics were outraged.
This mission was so controversial that in some countries including Germany and Japan,
the mission was removed from the game.
11.
Modern Warfare 3 made $775 million in its first five days.
That's far more than 'Avatar,' the current highest grossing movie, did.
12.
Gamers play almost 2000 years of Call of Duty a day.
13.
North Korea used Morden Warfare 3 footage in an anti-USA propaganda video.
14.
The German and Japanese versions Of Modern Warfare 2 won't let you harm civilians.
15.
Over five billion cars have been destroyed in the Call Of Duty games.
16.
There are less stars in the Milky Way than there are shots being fired in Call of Duty
games.
17.
Call of Duty's daily players could fill 80 of the world largest sport stadiums.
18.
Throughout the different Call of Duty games, players see teddy bears randomly placed in
the scenes.
19.
When you put all the time spent by Call of Duty players around the world together, it
equals up to around 2.85 million years playing.
20.
There was almost a trading card game.
Even though this never saw the light of day, it's definitely something interesting to think
about.
Upper Deck Entertainment was set to introduce the world to a two-player game that would
see players deploy soldiers from your deck and applying action cards to determine how
the soldiers would interact with the battlefield.
Although there was a decent amount of attention and interest, sadly Upper Deck cancelled the
project before it's expected 2008 release.
21.
Create-a-class was inspired by a board game.
David Vonderhaar admitted in an interview with Polygon, that the create-a-class element
introduced in Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 was inspired by the tile-based game, Carcassonne.
Vonderhaar had the development team attempt to create loadouts of guns and skills out
of a card based system before evolving into the pre-match menu system we know now.
This inspiration would lead to the massive multiplayer overhaul that has become such
a prevalent aspect of the online match-making.
22.
We've all probably had all-nighters while playing Call of Duty, but one player from
Australia set a Guiness World Record for his gaming session.
Okan Kaya, in November 2012, set the new world record for gaming marathon at 135 hours and
50 minutes.
Okan was allowed to take a 10 minute break for every hour of gameplay, and accumulated
those breaks for a nearly seven hour nap.
During this session, Okan was able to rise to 37th place in the global Black Ops 2 leaderboard.
23.
There was a research study published in Current Biology, that claimed there was a connection
in decision making skills and playing action-shooters like Call of Duty.
In the study the researchers noted that the reaction speed in gamers between 18 to 25
years old was much faster if they played Call of Duty rather than strategic games like The
Sims.
Call of Duty utilizes frantic action and high-pressure scenarios which wound up resulting in noticeably
faster decision making through the study.
