All Call of Duty Games In Order

"The first few Call of Duty games focused on World War II and authenticity as a military shooter, but over the years the franchise has grown in complexity and often leaned away from a mil-sim design. Call of Duty has evolved with third game modes, robots, spaceships, jetpacks, and sometimes mind-bending fictional campaigns that steer more toward sci-fi and fantasy than the game's initial military roots."

"The very first Call of Duty was originally a PC game released in 2003, but an enhanced port titled Call of Duty: Classic was later developed by a separate studio and released worldwide in November 2009. Developed by Infinity Ward, Call of Duty put players in the shoes of three infantry soldiers in World War II. This single-player campaign was squad-based, pairing the player with AI-teammates for missions featuring the American, British, and Soviet forces."

Call of Duty began in 2003 as a squad-based World War II first-person shooter developed by Infinity Ward, later ported as Call of Duty: Classic in 2009. Early entries emphasized authenticity and historical settings, with Call of Duty 2: Big Red One focusing on a single protagonist from the American 1st Infantry Division. Over time the series expanded beyond mil-sim design into varied third-person game modes, futuristic technologies, and fictional campaigns featuring robots, spaceships, and jetpacks. Development responsibilities shifted to multiple studios including Treyarch, Raven Software, Sledgehammer Games, Beenox, Demonware, and High Moon Studios. Most releases became major fall, multi-platform titles.
