Our word:

“Call of Duty” has been one of the most enduring and popular games of all time, and even for those who do not indulge in the art of gaming, it rings an instant bell, well embossed on contemporary Pop Culture of the last two decades. With this new update and feature, “Call of Duty” brings back two of the most iconic action characters of the 1980s: John Rambo, originally portrayed by Sylvester Stallone on the big screen, and John McClane, originally portrayed by Bruce Willis in “Die Hard”. More than a chance for gamers who grew up during the 1980s to nostalgically relive those days alongside their action heroes, it can also bring to light these characters that the younger generation who may not know about, and that way, bring two eras of gamers together. Graphically “Call of Duty” continues to stay on the top of the game, and aside of the new story features, you can expect familiar places and items that were part of the original films.
