The Tragic Decline of Call of Duty
Introduction At the time of my writing this, I have only just finished playing a little bit of the campaign in Battlefield 6. I broadcasted this gameplay in a live stream on Twitch, where I create guides for how to achieve the platinum trophies for the games I play. What is important to note here is that I made the conscious and unconscious decision to play the most recent Battlefield title over the latest version of Call of Duty. I still can’t believe that I’m writing these words. Never in a million years could I have fathomed that I would prefer to play a game developed by Battlefield Studios over a military game made by Activision and Infinity Ward. If I could tell you anything about me, it’s the fact that I have been loyal to the Call of Duty franchise since the first game came out for the PC, on October 29th, 2003. Even in it’s infancy, Call of Duty had emerged as a military game that could rival the likes of games like Medal of Honor, which were considered the apex of combat style first person shooters at the time. That seems like a lifetime ago. I’m still loyal to the game that has created so many great memories for me, but I will admit that the game has lost a considerable part of its appeal. Playing it just doesn’t feel the same anymore. This is a thought shared throughout the gaming community, and it is reflected in the fact that, as of present, Battlefield 6 boasts itself not only as the number one first person shooter on a global level, but also as the number one selling game of 2025, while Call of Duty Black Ops 7 ranks in at seventh place. These figures unquestionably illustrate the tragic decline of the video game Call of Duty. Now there are many factors that have resulted in this games fall from grace, all of which we will explore in great detail, but first some context is needed. In order that we may fully understand exactly how far this giant has fallen, it is crucial that the history of Call of Duty at it’s peak is provided.

Is PlayStation 5 Sony’s Worst Console to Date?
What gaming system should I get? That is the question every serious gamer has to ask themselves at one point or another. It is a rudimentary inquiry that, on a surface level, seems to be one that has a simple answer. In this day and age, there are essentially three tech giants that dominate this market, with those being Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo, who make the Playstation, Xbox, and Nintendo consoles, respectively. At least, those are the options unless you want to go with a gaming PC. I have only very recently stumbled across a revelation. It has only now dawned on me that there is another question that everyone who prides themselves as a gamer should be asking themselves. When did the quality of gaming systems begin to decline?

The 20 Best Games On PlayStation Plus For The Year 2025
Is it worth it to purchase the Premium Playstation Plus membership that Sony has to offer? Better yet, is it worth the seventeen dollars and ninety-nine cents per month, as opposed to the essential package which can be purchased for nine dollars and ninety-nine cents? These are the questions many Playstation players find themselves asking when the first of the month comes around. Let’s face it, Sony has made it so that the Essential Playstation Plus plan is pretty much a necessity in the world of gaming. The days of playing online multiplayer for free are long gone. This monthly ten dollar expense is what it takes to grant its users access to the online multiplayer platform. We all want to play games online. So, we can argue that that expenditure is justifiable.

The Ship of Dreams: Chapter 8
Space-time is that one grand variable and constituent that connects all things, living and otherwise. Through its shapeless form, infinite roads and pathways transmit incalculable bits of information and data via this elaborate connection that is the very matter of life. It is this medium that communicates the happenings of the world, almost instantaneously, at a rate that is faster than even quantum physics would seemingly permit for in the exchange between particles.

The Ship of Dreams: Chapter 9
The British Naval Officer Edward Smith stormed the deck. He was fit to be tied, and absolutely fuming at the bits. He had been enjoying a cup of tea and had hardly had the time to set it down when he felt a thunderous rattling all around him. Rattling at sea was never a good thing.

The Ship of Dreams: Chapter 7
There was something to traveling the open sea that was seemingly ineffable to describe by virtue of its own paradoxical quality. It was as if the very act of being lost amidst the vast expanse of ocean waves boldly proclaimed, “This is freedom.” One that signaled yet another one of humankind’s attempts to pit themselves against and come up on top of nature and her most basic elements. That somehow, by looking into the depths of those waters that stretched further beyond what the naked human eye could see was the means to complete liberation of one’s spirit, one’s very soul. As if it called to it, whispered to it, asking it if it so wanted to be unchained.

The Ship of Dreams: Chapter 6
Geoffrey paced back and forth throughout his spacious cabin as he scavenged the room for his life vest. Simple task it was, proved difficult with Geoffrey working against himself as he tore the room apart in his search. The outer world reflects one’s inner self, at least that is how the saying goes, and Geoffrey’s room was no exception.

The Ship of Dreams
Heralding his one and only three-piece suit, Geoffrey sat alone in the Titanic dining hall at a table that was tucked away in the corner just by the exit. He had chosen the table because it gave him a birds-eye vantage point of the whole vast chamber while allowing him to note the individuals that came and went through the gigantic giant French double doors beside him. At the same time, he did so because it provided him with a sense of security with his back being turned to the rest of the room with so little space between in and the wall behind him.

The Ship of Dreams
Titanic was being hailed as the millionaire floating palace and it did not take long for Geoffrey to see why. There was a part of him that longed to have a run-in with Thomas Andrews, the grand designer of the ship to shake his hand personally for his testimony of sheer ingenuity.

The Ship of Dreams (Chapter 2)
Geoffrey was just chuffed to bits for his momentary break between travels. The morning left him feeling rather knackered, to say the least, as he had been required to wake up at the crack of dawn so that he may catch the early boat train destined for Southampton, London. For all intended purposes, he had chanced waking so early to see if he could get his hands on a ticket for an earlier departure ticket.

An Unsinkable Love
The whole thing was surreal. An hour had passed since the Titanic had struck ice, and only the first of the lifeboats were being lowered into the freezing waters below. Shrieks and cries reverberated out into the vast nothingness of the Atlantic Ocean for no one to hear; only to be silenced by the booming crystalline white rockets exploding overhead.
