CoD of Duty Shoots Fish in a Barrel



A hilarious take on the popular shooter franchise points out the obvious: a cod is a type of fish.

CODBLOPSII(Call of Duty: Black Ops II) is one of the stupidest acronyms of all time. A CoD of Duty, the premier shooting fish in a barrel simulator. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cod]

The CoD of Duty "campaign" should take you about ten to fifteen minutes to complete. This is a deliberate move on the part of the game's creator, Ryan Evans, who likens the short and ultimately unfulfilling game to a standard FPS' single player campaign.

"A lot of the 'joke' is how I feel about the standard FPS single player campaigns. Short, not terribly interesting, and completely over the top with their story elements."

You'll start off shooting fish in a barrel with a pistol, but as the game progresses, gun-toting fish will enter the fray, and your arsenal will expand to include an assault rifle and a rocket launcher. It's not a particularly challenging game, but it's somewhat satisfying to see the fish explode in an exaggerated torrent of gore after you so much as graze them with a bullet. Evans indicated that he wished to include an underwater level and a co-op mode, but felt that the joke might have gotten too old if the game dragged on too long.

The game was made as part of the full source code, [http://www.onegameamonth.com/] if you wish.

It needs a multiplayer, with several "maps" which consist of a single room in different colors (brown, tan, white, and grey, of course) with spawn points in each corner, and all characters by default spam grenades every 2 seconds unless you hold a key to make them not do that.

Who cares about single player campaigns, doesn't this person know that all games these days need to have a multiplayer competent tacked on to be considered good?

Jokes aside, it's cute commentary.

Best. Game. Ever. That final boss was awesome.
Yeah. I played it a couple days ago when it came up on RPS, and that ending is pretty much perfect. It's not really much of a game itself, but it does a great job of poking fun at other shooters and is totally worth the 10-15 minutes it takes to run through it.

Anybody else have problems with the controls? It seemed like I spent half the time just trying to get my damn cursor lined up.

Wait this isn't an official Call of Duty game? I couldn't tell the difference.

You wasted a one-month game project on a low blow against CoD? Dude, get some new ideas, this one is overused.

Really? The lack of quicktime events gave it away for me.

This man deserves a medal.

And another one for the Minecraft-esque graphics. Pretty sure that's just the limitations of whatever he was working with, but I find it adds some charm to his work.

Also all of those rooms have to come in separate $15 DLC packs.
