Throughout the years, there have been numerous reasons why I have adamantly stayed away from the notorious gaming phenomenon that is Call of Duty. In this article, I aim to shed light on the true rationales behind my avoidance, and why they remain as relevant as ever.

The Gameplay: Repetition and Lack of Originality
The Mundane Routine: Why Call of Duty Fails to Impress

From the very beginning, Call of Duty has been plagued by a lack of innovation. The franchise seems to be caught in a never-ending cycle of repetitive gameplay, offering little in terms of fresh and exciting challenges. The constant release of new titles fails to bring anything genuinely new to the table, leaving players like myself feeling unsatisfied and unenthusiastic.

Glorifying Violence: A Concerning Trend
Violence as Entertainment: Why I Won't Contribute

One of the most compelling reasons why I refuse to play Call of Duty is its glorification of violence. The game portrays war as an adrenaline-fueled, action-packed experience without appropriately addressing the real-life consequences and implications. Such glorification can have a negative impact on our society, especially on impressionable young minds. It is crucial to steer away from games that normalize violence and instead seek more conducive forms of entertainment.

Toxic Gaming Community: A Deal-Breaker
Combatting Toxicity: My Stand Against a Poisonous Environment

Another significant deterrent is the notorious reputation of Call of Duty's online community. The game has earned itself a notoriety for toxic behaviour and unfriendly interactions. As an advocate for a supportive and inclusive gaming culture, I am unwilling to subject myself to such an unpleasant environment. The negative impact that toxic communities can have on mental well-being is undeniable, and it is vital to choose games that foster a positive and respectful atmosphere.

Oversimplification of War: A Disrespectful Approach
Honouring History: Rejecting Oversimplification

Call of Duty often falls into the trap of oversimplifying historical conflicts and reducing them to mere entertainment. Treating these events lightly and disregarding their historical significance can be seen as being disrespectful to those who sacrificed their lives, as well as to the complexities of these global conflicts. I believe that games should approach historical subjects with utmost care and respect, and it is this lack of sensitivity that has led me to steer clear of Call of Duty.
