About

Thanks for visiting my Call of Duty fan site. I am no one special – just your average PC gamer that has been playing games on the Mac and PC since the early 1990′s. In 2003 I stumbled into the Call of Duty series about a week after the release of the original Call of Duty and I have been hooked on the series ever since then. There is just something about the Call of Duty game play that plays like no other game and for that reason I tend to stick to Call of Duty for my multiplayer game of choice – for the near future at least. As far as what CODV is – well it all started a number of years ago when my interest was really building with the COD series and I started a website and used it more of a custom map review and just a place to post my thoughts of things going on in the game and community. It became my public “view” for what was happening in COD and that is how it became titled Call of Duty View. Even more in the distant past I also went down the same path for a game called Red Faction and created Red Faction View which is the largest remaining community website for that game.

In game I go by Dr@gon or Dragon (don’t ask me why because there is really no reason behind it – and believe it or not; I don’t have a thing for dragons). I am a member of the Lets War! (LW!) clan that has a ton of great guys (and a few girls) in it and holds the best COD:UO server around. Although the clan has it’s main roots in COD:United Offensive a number of members from all around the world play a number of other titles and offer a great experience of camaraderie and fun while playing games and chatting in Teamspeak.

I own all of the Call of Duty games (other than COD:Modern Warfare 2) for the PC and have enjoyed them all in their own way. My favorite from them all still has to be COD:United Offensive for the raw to-the-point game play and more focused objectives in the game rather than all of the “bling” and “fluff” that is plastered all over in the current COD games. I still play a little COD:United Offensive and a little a bit of COD:World At War every now and then but mainly COD:Black Ops for the time being. I am enjoying COD:Black Ops for the most part but miss the old raw Call of Duty gun to gun/player to player battles. They are still in there now but there is so much other garbage in the way with computer aided helicopters and Sentry Guns down to the ridiculous knifing that can just ruin games. I am not sure how long my enjoyment in the Call of Duty franchise will last because the reiteration is getting old, the engine is getting old and the developers just aren’t interested in catering to the PC community much anymore. However I have yet to find any other game that satisfies my playing style like Call of Duty does so until that happens I will probably just keep playing the series as long as it keeps some of its similarities. In my absence in COD:Modern Warfare 2 I did get into Battlefield Bad Company 2 for quite a while and I do still get into a few games in that but I am very interested in seeing how Battlefield 3 is and I am wondering if that will be enough to pull me away from the Call of Duty franchise. I do enjoy a number of other games for the single player content but I am the type of person that gets situated in a multiplayer game and community and stays there for a while without jumping around. I don’t know what the future holds for me and gaming but there are some good titles in the works that sound promising and in a way I am anxious to find a replacement for the Call of Duty series. In the meantime you can frag with me in any of the servers below.
