==The Basics==

'''Call of Duty''' (or CoD as we prefer) is traditionally played on a Tuesday evening and comes in three flavours:

Call of Duty,
Call of Duty: United Offensive (basically an expansion to the original CoD), and
Call of Duty 2 (the sequel)

Of the three CoD: UO is by far the most popular. Not because it has the best graphics, the best gameplay or an amazing physics engine (in fact, physics generally doesn't exist in CoD and if you read carefully you will find this noted in Einstein's Theory of General Relativity), but just because it is enormous fun to run around shooting people whilst talking complete and utter gibberish over [[TeamSpeak]].

==The Juicy Bits==

CoD probably epitomizes the 5punk ethos more than any other game - it's not about how many points you get, it's about having fun. In fact you will notice that no description has been given of the game itself so far - that's because in all honesty, it doesn't matter.

Although games such as [[Counterstrike|CS:S]] and [[Battlefield|BEEF]] are more popular, the TeamSpeak conversations during CoD have probably given rise to more hilarity, 5punk in-jokes and general surrealism than any other games put together. It is of course impossible to recreate the atmosphere of a CoD night TeamSpeak session, but below are a few of the things you might want to listen out for if you decide to join in.

==CoD Lingo==
===AIDS Cannon===
You won't have to listen too hard for this one. The AIDS Cannon features on the custom map 'Quarantine' and is effectively a mounted anti-aircraft gun that kills without making a sound! The animation whilst firing also looks amusingly like the player is having a wank. Although the gun itself is silent, it's presence is generally greeted with the singing of either (or sometimes at the same time) of the two songs below...

''AIDSAIDSAIDSAIDSAIDSAIDSAIDSAIDSAIDSAIDSAIDSAIDSAIDSAIDS'' etc

''AIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDS CANNON!''

===Baths===
These are sources of great power in CoD, and must be protected at all costs. The bigger the bath, the better. Regardless of scores on a map, whoever is deemed to have held on to a bath for the longest amount of time is the winner.

===Teabagging===
The art of placing one's testicles upon the cold, dead eyes of a recently defeated foe. If there is no foe readily available, certain other objects will suffice - a radio, a dead cow, a piano...

===Treebagging===
The art of placings one's testicles in a tree. This is best performed as a group activity.

===Death 'Nade===
The art of releasing a grenade just as you are killed. Anyone teabagging your corpse at that moment will find their testicles rapidly detached and hurled through the air (into a tree if they are really lucky).

===Ninja roof climbing===
Climbing on roofs! Like a ninja!

===Railings===
Found on a map that begins with 'M'. Whoever thought that iron railings could offer invulnerability?

=== Counterstrike ===

Best of all the animals. Well, FPS games. '''Counterstrike''' is a very popular online first-person-shooter, back in the days of the original Half-Life it was pretty much the biggest online game ever. Now, the new version that was released with [[Half-Life 2]] is called Counterstrike: Source, or CSS or CS:S for short.

Source, or 'Sauce' is 5punk's wednesday game. It has pretty much outright replaced the older version, Counterstrike 1.6 which ran on the original [[Half-Life]] engine.

It has good graphics, and reasonably fast paced, round-based gameplay. Its realistic for an online game, compared to [[Quake]] or [[Unreal Tournament]] for example.
It's is really quite good. If you haven't got it, its well worth getting along with Half-Life 2. It uses the Valve Steam distribution system, which when working, makes updates etc very easy. However it also means that playing the game offline is tricky, and playing an unlicenced copy of it online is nigh impossible.

A mod featured of late is the Zombie Mod where players avoid an enemy zombie under the threat of being made part of their undead army. When enough players are turned into zombies, and there are some hold-outs in very hard to reach places, zombies will stack and create [[Zombie Tower]]s to reach the enenmy. Good, frantic fun.
