| ARTICLES RELATED TO Call of Duty | | | |  Call of Duty: Encyclopedia II - Call of Duty - OverviewCall of Duty is similar in theme and gameplay to Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, and like the earlier game includes various singleplayer campaigns and missions. However, unlike Medal of Honor, the war is seen not just from the viewpoint of an American soldier but from the viewpoint of British, American and Soviet soldiers - players take the perspective of a soldier by the name of Pvt. Martin of the U.S. 101st Airborne Division, Sgt. Jack Evans in the British 6th Airborne Division and Special Operations Executive, and Sgt. Alexei Ivano ...

| | | | Call of Duty: Encyclopedia - Battle of Normandy The Battle of Normandy was fought in 1944 between the German forces occupying Western Europe and the invading Allied forces as part of the larger conflict of World War II.

Video game controversy - United States.
In the United States, the ESRB ratings system was established in 1994 as the video game equivalent to the MPAA film rating system. The ESRB was created as an industry response to criticism from politicians, notably Senator Joe Lieberman, over the easy availability of violent video games such as Mortal Kombat to children, and over the resulting alleged corruption of public morality. At the time, some politicians who lent their voice to this cause threatened legislatio ...

Operation Market Garden - Day 1 Sunday September 17 1944.

| | | | Call of Duty: Encyclopedia II - Saving Private Ryan - Synopsis The general plot of the film, as the title suggests, is a humanitarian rescue mission led by John Miller, a US Army Ranger captain, played by Tom Hanks to return the last surviving Ryan brother from the Normandy front line to his mother. Many critics commented that the film seemed marred somewhat by Spielberg's propensity for sentimentalism.
As the position consolidates, Miller is given his new assigment, to find a certain Private James Francis Ryan (Matt Damon), who had been parachuted in as a member of the 101st Airborne, which, as ...

| | | | Call of Duty: Encyclopedia II - QuakeCon - Past Events The first event, in August 1996, was held at the Best Western in Garland, Texas, a mile or two away from the id Software company offices. Starting with just 30 people, by the end of the weekend the number of people had grown to 100, as news of the gathering began to spread on Internet chat networks.
Attendees who had brought their computers along to the event set up a small, impromptu network, in one of the hotel meeting rooms, playing mostly Quake I and Doom, testing deathmatching skills. A small tournament was held, with ...

| | | | Call of Duty: Encyclopedia II - PunkBuster - Attacks on PunkBuster Being a security system of sorts, PunkBuster is an obvious target for attacks. As PunkBuster is frequently updated (using an autoupdate feature) cheats are being blacklisted very soon after they are reported. Theoretically it is possible to create a new program, following the PunkBuster protocol that always reports that everything is as it should be. However, the frequent updates are a deterrent, as such a program would quickly be outdated. Today people are less likely to share the cheats, as a widely spread cheat is more likely to get blacklisted soon. So far there have not be ...

| | | | Call of Duty: Encyclopedia II - Quake series - Overview The series is somewhat unusual in that its focus changes frequently; Quake II has nothing to do with Quake [1], and Quake III Arena has little to do with its predecessors, as well. This is mostly due to the fact that Quake II was originally supposed to be an entirely different franchise ("Quake II" was a tentative title), a plan which was shot down when most of the names id Software had ...
