Call of Duty is a first-person and third-personshooter video game series franchise. The series began on the PC, and later expanded to consoles andhandhelds. Several spin-off games have also been released. The earlier games in the series are set primarily in World War II; starting with Modern Warfare, set in modern times, the series has shifted focus away from World War II. Modern Warfare was followed by Modern Warfare 2, set in modern times, and BlackOps, set during the Cold War. Modern Warfare 3, also set in modern times (as the name suggests) was released on 8 November 2011.
The Call of Duty games are published and owned by Activision and published for Apple OS X by Aspyr Media. Most have been developed primarily byInfinity Ward and Treyarch; some games have been developed by Gray Matter Interactive, Spark Unlimited, Pi Studios, AmazeEntertainment,Rebellion Developments, and n-Space. The games use a variety of engines, including the id Tech 3, the Treyarch NGL, and the IW 5.0. Other products in the franchise include a line of action figures designed by Plan-B Toys, a card game created by Upper Deck, and a comic book mini-series published by WildStorm.
