Call of Duty (comics)

The Call of Duty was a series of short-lived Marvel Comics series featuring firefighters and emergency service workers dealing with paranormal phenomena in the Marvel Universe.

It was conceived in the wake of the 9/11 attacks and consists of three limited series (Call of Duty: The Brotherhood #1-6, by Chuck Austen and David Finch; Call of Duty: The Precinct #1-5, by Bruce Jones and Tom Mandrake; Call of Duty: The Wagon #1-4 by Chuck Austen and Danijel Zezelj) and a short unsuccessful run as an ongoing series in 2002-2003, that lasted four issues (by Chuck Austen and Pat Olliffe).

Call of Duty (video game)

Call of Duty is a 2003 first-person shooter video game developed by Infinity Ward and published by Activision, the first installment of the Call of Duty video game series. The game simulates the infantry and combined arms warfare of World War II. The game is based on the Quake III: Team Arena engine. It was accompanied in September 2004 by an expansion pack, Call of Duty: United Offensive, which was produced by Activision, and developed by Gray Matter Interactive, with contributions from Pi Studios. Call of Duty is similar in theme and gameplay to Medal of Honor, as it is made out of single-player campaigns and missions. However, unlike Medal of Honor, the war is seen not just from the viewpoint of an American soldier but also from the viewpoint of British, Canadian, and Soviet soldiers.

The game was somewhat unusual at the time in that throughout the single-player mode the player is joined by computer-controlled allies who range in quantity from two infantrymen (in some of the British missions) to an entire regiment of tanks (in the Soviet missions). The computer-controlled allies will support the actual player during the missions. They also further the game's goal of providing an immersive and realistic experience; that is, soldiers in World War II were usually part of a larger group, as opposed to the "lone wolf" seen in video games such as Medal of Honor. However, there are some missions where the player is alone.
