‘Call of Duty’ Celebrates 15th Anniversary With Huge Stats

2
It’s hard to believe that it’s been 15 years since the original Call of Duty made its debut on PC. Since that time, we’ve been treated to a number of awesome games in the series, from the earth-shattering Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare to the insanely good Call of Duty: Black Ops II to this year’s Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. It’s been a wild ride; and it’s not over yet.

The official Call of Duty Twitter account posted a celebratory tweet commemorating the occasion, complete with a special emblem and a thank you message to all its fans.

“It all started in 2003, and wouldn’t be possible without our incredible community,” the team noted.
“Today is the 15th anniversary of Call of Duty! Thanks to all the fans for joining us on this amazing journey.”

You can see the tweet and emblem below.



To further commemorate the occasion, the NPD Group’s Mat Piscatella noted an interesting sales stat about the $15 billion franchise, which you can see below:



The series has seen some interesting shifts over the years, including the addition of new development teams (Treyarch and Sledgehammer, alongside Infinity Ward) and some new ideas (like Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, taking the series into the future). It’s also seen its fair share of big stars over the years, from Game of Thrones’ Kit Harrington to 24’s Kiefer Sutherland to Transformers’ Josh Duhamel, amongst many others.

Let’s take a look now at all the games in the series:

  • Call of Duty (2003)
  • Call of Duty United Offensive (2004)
  • Call of Duty 2 (2005)
  • Call of Duty 2 Big Red One (2005)
  • Call of Duty 3 (2006)
  • Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (2007)
  • Call of Duty: World at War (2008)
  • Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (2009)
  • Call of Duty: Black Ops (2010)
  • Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (2011)
  • Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 (2012)
  • Call of Duty: Ghosts (2013)
  • Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare (2014)
  • Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 (2015)
  • Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare (2016)
  • Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered (2016)
  • Call of Duty: WWII (2017)
  • Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 (2018)


Congrats to Activision and its teams on reaching the huge mark in the series. Here’s to 15 more years of multiplayer and single player fun!

Rareparrot lmao fake cod fans turn on call of duty. there not true you stick it out till the end.


Not true at all. I'm a halo fan. I didn't care for halo 4 and halo 5 was just decent. Doesn't mean I'm not a true fan. I liked almost all CODs except ghosts and infinite warfare. I haven't bought a game since Advanced Warfare, but I've played them all. I will probably always get the newest Halo, but not COD. The difference between the two is that Halo has years in between releases. COD releases every single year and it is never that much different than the last. People get burnt out. I'm a true fan of COD and Halo, but I'm not going to support something that isn't a quality product. I understand that Halo hasn't changed dramatically either, since Reach, but it's alright by me because of the amount of time they put between releases. If a new Halo was released every year, I would feel the exact same as I do about COD. A real fan supports the franchise, but isn't going to congratulate a company for ripping them off year after year.


You understand that each developer has 3 years right ?


Clearly he doesnt lmao and the 3 year cycle started with advanced warfare. sledge had helped with the dev of the mw3. but not a full game till AW.

No mention of Finest Hour?

I'd say Finest Hour and Big Red One are still my two most favorite Call of Dutys. Happy Birthday CoD.
