RESPONSE: COD4 Vs. CODWAW Vulnerable Humility
The main difference between these two games is apparent without even discussing their content. The simple fact that not everyone knows is that these two games are made by entirely separate companies. COD4 was made by Infinity Ward, the makers of the most award-winning entries in the series. Call of Duty, Call of Duty 2, and Call of Duty 4 are the sole productions of Infinity Ward. That is seriously all they make — great COD games. The first COD (Metacritic score: 91) won over 500 Game of the Year awards when it was released in 2003. Call of Duty 4 (Metacritic score: 94) holds such titles as “#1 FPS of All Time” and “#1 Best-Selling FPS Ever” with over 11 million copies sold (compared to, say, 8.1 million for Halo 3). Treyarch, overall, generally makes B-List games. Recently, in addition to CODWAW (Metacritic score: 84), they’ve made the licensed Quantum of Solace (Metacritic score: 65), Spider-Man Web of Shadows (Metacritic score: 68), Spider-Man 3 (Metacritic score: 62), and Ultimate Spider-Man (Metacritic score: 75). Treyarch has essentially never made a game on their own with a Metacritic score over 90. That is all that Infinity Ward makes. With that said, I’ll touch on the true differences between the games as well.
