65 year-old gamer has spent 15 years avidly following Call Of Duty: World At War.
All of us have our favorite video games; those games which become staples over time.
My favourite video game ever is Resident Evil 2 from 1998; this classic sequel showcased how an excellent sequel should be developed: it looked and played better, had more engaging storyline content, felt bigger than its predecessor (although you weren’t given as many resources to explore Raccoon City), yet offered greater replay value overall.
However, while I love Resident Evil 2, like most gamers I play other titles as well. That being said, one 65-year-old gamer who has only ever played Call of Duty World at War for 15 years stands in stark contrast.
Call of Duty: World at War, released for PC, PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii U in 2008, was an outstanding game set during World War II’s Pacific and Eastern Front battles between US, Japan, Soviet Union and Germany – as well as being the inaugural game to introduce Zombies mode into its narrative.
As reported by Game Rant, one 65-year-old fan seems especially fond of Call of Duty’s single player campaign: He has played it every year since 2001! As Redditor jagrbomb stated:
At the time this photo was taken, Airborne57 had played 293 days 14 hours 23 minutes of Fortnite Battle Royale and earned themselves the maximum Prestige emblem that looks suspiciously like Starmie.
Airborne57 boasts an incredible score nearing half a million, boasting 498 768 kills to 29 4,385 deaths with an impressive Kill/Death Ratio of 1.69! (very impressive!).
Reddit thread is full of compliments for veteran gamer. “To put this into perspective, your old man has basically killed off an estimated population of Liverpool [and some] within UK borders!” said verygenericname2.
“That’s an astounding 91 kills per day over 15 years!” exclaimed bluAstrid in amazement. Ricdesi was equally impressed, noting the killer would spawn 1.66 kills per kill after 500k deaths! That was incredible!”
With reports suggesting the next Call of Duty game could be Modern Warfare III coming out this year, hopefully, World at War may return someday and Activision finds a way to commemorate Airborne57 and make him immortalised within it.
