History VideoGame / CallOfDooty

* TakeThat: To modern military shooter tropes like excessive {{Railroading}} and abuse of ProductPlacement, with some jabs taken at DLC.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Level 1 doesn't feature the muted color palette (meant to invoke ''Call of Duty'''s oft-derided RealIsBrown aesthetic) of the later episodes, has no ProductPlacement gags, and no achievements.

* GrandFinale: In 2017, four years after the third level is released, Chubzdoomer released [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eN_1Tgm5DFU a video playthrough of Level 4]], billed as the finale of the game. [[spoiler: After going through two rooms, the player encounters a television screen, and a trailer for [[VideoGame/Doom2016 the 2016 game]] plays. Afterwards, a splash screen appears, praising the new ''Doom'' game for RevisitingTheRoots of the genre and not adopting the conventions of modern military shooters. It then goes on to say that Taggart didn't need to look for the Russians, he just needed to find himself. [[PoesLaw This pissed off gamers who were genuinely interested in]] [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse what the Russians were ultimately plotting]]. It doesn't help that the video was released on AprilFoolsDay.]]

* PlayerPunch: Parodied in level 3, where Taggart suddenly encounters a dog and follows after it for a couple of hallways before it's killed by a demon. Taggart is utterly distraught over the death of a dog he's only known for less than 5 minutes.

''Call of Dooty'' is a series of Doom [=WADs=] created by Matthew "Chubzdoomer" C., reimagining the first episode of the original VideoGame/{{Doom}} in the style of a ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty''-style modern military shooter. The series chronicles the exploits of Corporal Flynn Taggart as he infiltrates the UAC base on Phobos to eliminate a group of "Russians". The series is chock full of potshots at military shooter tropes and references to [=CoD=].

* EasterEgg: Just like in ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyBlackOps'', the player can break free of their restraints during the level 2 starting menu and access a hidden game (this time the first level of Wolfenstein3D.)

The series is currently up to level 3. Videos (and download links) to the [=WADs=] can be found [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4yIxUOWrtw here]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NURfvG0lfpA here]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8F0AdWBmiQY here.]]

* PressXToNotDie: Naturally, there has to be plenty of quick-time events in a CallOfDuty parody.

* ShoutOut: The second level references the main menu in CallOfDutyBlackOps with Taggart being strapped down and interrogated. It even has its own version of Black Ops' main menu EasterEgg.

** The thumbnails for levels 2 and 3 include the subtitles [[CallOfDutyBlackOps "Green Ops"]] and [[CallOfDutyGhosts "Spectres"]].

--> ''ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: REFRESHED FOR BATTLE (Please visit www.pepsi.com)

* {{Railroading}}: Exaggerated. Going ''anywhere'' other then a strict path through the map gives you an out-of-bounds warning. And some points you aren't even allowed to go to specific points within a small room (it reaches its peak in level 2, where the player ends up in a tiny room, and gets an out-of-bounds warning for going ''anywhere'' other than straight to the door to the next room.)

* AmericaSavesTheDay: Taggart's and co are apparently still {{Space Marine}}s, but they still behave like an exaggeration of the gung-ho American soldier archetype (complete with speeches about freedom and democracy.)

* DownloadableContent: Parodied. The player has to go through the whole game (so far) with nothing but a pistol and shotgun (with the exception of a chaingun turret section in level 3.) Although there's more powerful weapons laying around, they're not allowed to pick them up without purchasing fictional DLC.

* ActionCommands: Lots of them
* AmericaSavesTheDay: Naturally.

* ForcedTutorial: In the second and third levels.

* MundaneMadeAwesome: Sort of. The series makes a ''huge'' deal about collecting key cards and powerups.

--> ''Drill Sergeant'': The shotgun is a close-quarters weapon that fires multiple projectiles per shot. It is great for killing enemies.

* EasterEgg: Just like in CallOfDutyBlackOps, the player can break free of their restraints during the starting menu and access a hidden game (this time the first level of Wolfenstein3D.)
