Hello, Warriors. With the digital revolution spreading its roots in India, video games are a much-hyped thing among Indian youngsters. There was once a time when we were extremely happy playing DOS games- Dave, Super Mario Brothers and Contra, in particular. But as the revolution spread, our demands increased and so did the graphics of the games.
Among these, the military video games are commonly listed among the most highly-anticipated releases each year. With their picture-perfect realism and high-stakes, action-packed gameplay, these games allow players to enjoy a hyper-realistic wartime experience right in the safety and comfort of their own living room.
So, without wasting time anymore, here I bring you the top 5 best action-packed military games to play this year:
Note: This is a compilation of digital video games from my own point of view & experience and does not reflect and rankings by anyone or whatsoever.
- Call of Duty – IMDb Rating: 8.8 Released In: 2003
Call of Duty (COD) was a game-changer that took first-person shooters to the next level at its release. You play as three different Allied nations: the Americans, the British, and the Russians. From 1944 to 1945, you must answer the call of duty and defeat the domination-bent Germans. The game takes place during World War II with a concentrated focus on the infantry and combined arms divisions with an immersive story and an outstanding wartime experience.
- Battlefield 4 – IMDb Rating: 8.3 Released In: 2011
This is the only non-COD game in the list. Players step into the role of the elite U.S. Marines. They will experience heart-pounding globe-trekking single player experience with a multiplayer system that’s second to none. It was recorded as “the biggest first-person shooter launch in EA history” at the time of its launch. A multiple award winner, including the 2011 IGN People’s Choice Award for Best Shooter, this game is a must play for the awesome wartime experience.
- Call of Duty: Black Ops – IMDb Rating: 8.3 Released In: 2010
COD: Black Ops features a cinema-like experience thanks to its ground-breaking graphics. Set in the 1960’s during the Cold War, Black Ops focuses its story on top secret CIA black operations being carried out behind enemy lines. Former Marine Captain and CIA operative Alex Mason, upon interrogation by an unknown party, recounts his violent experiences with the Bay of Pigs, a radical Soviet conspiracy, and the Vietnam War.
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 – IMDb Rating: 8.1 Released In: 2011
This game revolves around the invasion of Russian Federation of the U.S., as well as Europe, including England, France and Germany. Featuring a rollercoaster pace and a killer multiplayer experience, Modern Warfare 3 might not have the best narrative as far as storylines go, but it delivers a fun and exciting punch in the gut for first shooter enthusiasts. The graphics may seem dated by today’s standards, and they are, but they effectively sell the superb level design and wartime grittiness the game’s makers intended.
- Call of Duty: Black Ops II – IMDb Rating: 8 Released In: 2012
Set in 2025, new unmanned machines have been taken over by Nicaraguan terrorist, Raul Menendez, forcing the U.S.A. to take action. COD: Black Ops II is one of the most successful titles in the popular Call of Duty franchise. It features a complex campaign narrative that shifts between two points in time – the Cold War-era and the year 2025. Unlike other titles in the series, the narrative in Black Ops II is actually affected by the player’s in-game decisions, so the decision to shoot someone suddenly has an added weight to it because the player won’t know how it will affect the story. Black Ops II is one of the top military games of all time because it offers a great story with great graphics and outstanding replay value.
