For those gamers old enough to remember the Call of Duty franchise before the phenomenon that was Modern Warfare, it’s hard not to see the franchise as losing some of its momentum.

Even with the timer speed increased sports, combat games are a lengthy battle of wills whether it is against the computer’s artificial intelligence or a second player....

For the longest time, they had a chain of extremely popular gaming devices from the original Game Boy, to its Color upgrade, to the Game Boy Advance and the Nintendo DS, which is still the best selling handheld game console to date.
