Call of Duty was originally based on World War II. As the years have progressed, many fans of the Call of Duty franchise have encouraged the game to move with the times, to make the game with more up-to-date elements of the world of war, for example, guns, technology, even enemies, and for the most part, the developers have not failed to deliver.

Riley, the German Shepard, is the first non-human playable character in Call of Duty franchise.

There are also suggestions that, in Future Warfare, there would have been multiplayer game modes such as Escort Mode. It is believed that Escort mode was later introduced to Call of Duty: Ghosts, and it was renamed Safeguard. In the game mode safeguard, you will face varying size and difficulty waves of enemies. Your squad of six players has to defeat these waves of enemies. You have the choice of 20 or 40 waves.

Call of Duty: Ghosts was believed to be released instead of the cancelled Future Warfare. Call of Duty: Ghosts was released in 2013, two years after Future Warfare was cancelled. Call of Duty: Ghosts is a first-person shooter developed by Infinity Ward. Like many of the Call of Duty games, Ghosts has very similar gameplay to its predecessor’s, but with some twists. The Ghosts campaign is told through the eyes of the main playable character, known as Logan. There are a few other playable characters, but this is the first of its kind in the Call of Duty series.
