6aming's Brewer England takes a look at the behind the scenes of Call of Duty as an ESport. Get an in-depth look at how competitive teams work fluently together.
Internal Army documents obtained by Motherboard provide insight on how the Army wanted to reach Gen-Z, women, and Black and Hispanic people through Twitch, Paramount+, and the WWE.
It's well known the US Army has been using gaming as a gateway for recruiting for a LOOONG time. Hell even in high school recruiters would ask whoever wasnt interested for their gamertag so they can play Cod together. Not to mention they've sponsored several fps tournaments. Not a conspiracy when it's out in the open. Plus Arma exists so...
Instead of trying to get them to join then military through bs trends why not instead tell em of the benefits that joining the military bring? Least in times of peace and without the threat of war, having your studies paid in full sounds better than "hey you can do what you do in COD by joining the army, isn't that cool?"
The USA has been involved in wars/conflicts for 90+% of its existence so you're unlikely to be in the US Military during peacetime
I think it is absurd that the US military has millions if not billions of dollars in their advertising budget. It is absurd that they have an advertising budget.
i had that in austria
wasnt all too bad. 6 months of listening to idiots screaming nonsense. you dont actually participate in any war, but i guess ametica is a different kind of hell when it comes to that. who knows what they'd put ppl through lol
ended up enlisting actually haha. sniper training was like 7 weeks. not a bad life
The alternate to spending millions of dollars on advertising is forced conscription?
Wow, you learn something every day.
Gee, how would anyone in the whole world learn about the US military if it weren't for advertising.
@jznrpg
Sorry about your losses, friend.
On topic :
I thought the Army was always using FPS games. This is not new.
A bit on the nose isnt it...like killin in the game...join up and kill in real life
In nearly 20 years of Call of Duty games, which maps do we consider to be the absolute best? Find out as we rank the top 10 CoD maps ever.
My fav and last COD I played and never anymore after that is COD 4 map: Killhouse.
None from COD3? At least one of Eder Dam, Merville, Poisson & Rouen should be in there.
Wow can’t argue with that top 5. Raid is my personal fav. Everything BLOPS2 and before were pretty solid. Now the maps have been remade so many times I don’t remember what’s what. Rust, really? This is why I don’t play COD anymore, Nuketown I can take, but Rust is pure COD respawn get shot in the back garbage
Activision has confirmed that it's not expecting Call of Duty 2021 to beat Black Ops Cold War's sales numbers.
Cold War was honestly a mistake lol it took a massive amount of people away from MW and it seems the vast majority of us didn't like any of the changes in CW, and the cherry on top is that it ruined the balancing in Warzone.
Used to play MW all the time but then I bought Cold War day one and beat the campaign in one sitting. Played quite a bit online and idk I couldn't get into it. Feels like I should prolly be progressing in CW instead of MW and the result of that mentality is that I just dropped both lol and don't even buy the season passes anymore. I'm sure a lot of people are in the same boat. The idea of ANOTHER one coming out is really pushing it. Shoulda just had MW be updated with dlc for a few years
Am I supposed to feel bad for Activision? "Lower than expected" sales for a CoD game is still a pipe dream for a lot of other games.
LOL!
I'll just leave this here.

I hope DICE get's BF4 to become an esport game. that would be way more interesting to watch than "skilled" cod players run around a map.

"Call of Duty as an ESport: Behind the Scenes on How it Works"
- Find room with one entrance
- hide in corner
- kill same person at least twice
- wait for them to alert their team mates to your lair
- rack up kills as they storm in like lemmings
- use kill streaks
- rinse and repeat
Did I miss anything?
