Summary
"Call of Duty" (2003) is the inaugural game in the acclaimed first-person shooter series developed by Infinity Ward and published by Activision. Set during World War II, it provides an intense, cinematic experience that takes players through key battles in the European Theater of Operations. The game features three interwoven campaigns, allowing players to fight as American, British, and Soviet soldiers. With a focus on realism and authenticity, "Call of Duty" introduces innovative gameplay mechanics, such as squad-based combat and the use of iron sights for aiming.

The game's gripping narrative, combined with its atmospheric graphics and sound design, set a new standard for the genre and established "Call of Duty" as a landmark title in video game history.
