Call of Duty Addiction :

Perspectives and Propositions

RATIONALE

A well-known first-person shooter video game series called Call of Duty debuted
in 2003. The phrase "Call of Duty" describes the sense of obligation or accountability that
soldiers or other people experience during times of war or hostilities. It is an obligation to
defend and serve one's nation, and to go above and beyond to carry out the goal and secure
victory. Players in the video game series assume the character of troops in numerous conflicts
and fight fiercely against the opposition. The games are renowned for their lifelike graphics,
engaging gameplay, and focus on strategy and teamwork.

Activision created the Call of Duty first-person shooter video game series. Since the
franchise's launch in 2003, millions of copies have been sold all over the world. The game is
renowned for both its fierce single-player missions and its cinematic multiplayer gameplay.
Presently, Call of Duty: Vanguard, which debuted in November 2021, is the series' most
recent release. The game has a single-player campaign, multiplayer options, and the well-
known Zombies mode. It is set during World War II. Critics have largely given Call of Duty:
Vanguard excellent reviews, complimenting its exhilarating multiplayer and captivating
story.

There are numerous Call of Duty spin-off games and mobile versions available in addition
to the main franchise. The 2019 edition of Call of Duty Mobile has grown to become one of
the most played mobile games ever and has crossed 1 billion downloads. With a loyal fan
base and a strong esports presence, Call of Duty is still a well-liked and lucrative franchise.

However, Call of Duty can be addictive for some players thanks to its fast-paced
gameplay, in-game loot boxes, and competitive nature. That's why Call of Duty addiction is
such a big problem today. With an increasing number of players, more and more people are
looking for strategies on how to stop playing Call of Duty. (Adair, n.d.)

Call of Duty and other video games can cause addiction-like symptoms like withdrawal,
tolerance, and loss of control, according to a study that was written up in the Journal of
Addiction Medicine. Some players could spend too much time playing the game, putting
other responsibilities like work, school, and relationships on the back burner.
Call of duty addiction can affect the teens physically and socially. Too much radiation
coming from mobile phones can damage some of poor body parts like eyes, brain, and even
bones. Just by relying on technology to remove boredom and stress, social interaction can be
forgotten. (edubirdie.com)

Increased implementation of loot boxes within computer games has received widespread
concern for the wellbeing of gamers, especially given the increased engagement during
COVID-19 restrictions. Loot boxes share similarities with traditional gambling mechanisms
that influence addiction-like behaviors and the amount of money spent on in-game items.

"Call of Duty" (COD) addiction is a gaming relationship that can take a toll on a person's
health and life. But it is not well placed in the literature because the studies on playing video
games are only general and not combined with a specific game such as "Call of Duty"
(COD).

Despite the lack of studies on "Call of Duty" addiction, studies on video game addiction
continue to point to health and lifestyle problems related to playing video games. These
studies show the effects of playing video games too much, such as not sleeping, not having
time for other activities, and unhealthy eating habits.

The purpose of our research is to gain a better understanding of the effect of playing
Call of Duty on one's behavior and to explore potential solutions for mitigating the negative
impacts of the game on people. We'd like to know how playing this game affects a person's
health in terms of both mental and physical health.

Limit your exposure: Set specific times of day when you can play online games and stick
to those times. Avoid playing games outside of those times. Find alternative activities instead
of playing online games, find other activities that you enjoy, such as reading, exercising, or
spending time with friends and family.

Regardless of the challenges you’re facing, it’s crucial to remember that you’re not
fighting the battles alone. More and more people are now able to get the care they need
because gaming disorder is now recognized as a condition.
For those who are suffering from a gaming disorder, there is good news: assistance is
available. A community forum, hundreds of free videos, and a program that is reasonably
priced are all features of the online peer support group Game Quitters, which is open to
parents and players alike.
