WithCall of Dutyjust launching its fifth season forCall of Duty: WarzoneandCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, Activision’s franchise continues to prove that it is an absolute behemoth in the gaming world. First releasing on PC in 2003 asCall of Duty, the series began as a World War 2 FPS focused on intense large-scale battles and authenticity. It has since become one of the biggest franchises around with over 400 million copies sold and titles taking place in various places all over the world.
Spanning 18 mainline titles and several offshoots,Call of Dutyhas covered an abundance of different time periods beyond World War 2, such as the Cold War, modern-day warfare, and even the future with games likeCall of Duty: Infinite Warfare. Although online multiplayer became part of the franchise withCall of Duty: United Offensivein 2004, it became much more pronounced with the release ofCall of Duty 4: Modern Warfare in 2007. Since then,Call of Dutyhas released a multitude of multiplayer maps with each title, set in countries like Russia, China, and Germany.

With there being so many multiplayermaps included in theCall of Dutyseries over the years, players have to wonder just how much of the globe it has covered at this point. A Reddit user who goes by the handle Interesting-Walrus39 has created a map showing the location of every multiplayer map in the series sinceCall of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Featuring locations across the world like Russia, China, Madagascar, and Brazil, the map covers a staggeringly large amount of countries all over the world.
Shared on theCall of DutyReddit community, the post has garnered plenty of attention, grabbing over two thousand upvotes and over five hundred comments. Other members of Reddit have begun nostalgically reminiscing over their favoriteCall of Dutymapsand are trying to identify where popular fan-favorite maps were located.
It isn’t easy to create a series with as muchlongevity asCall of Duty, but Activision has managed to keep the franchise relevant with tight controls, smooth gunplay, and engaging progression systems that keep players invested. The games have been churned out with such frequency that Activision has three separate studios plus other support teams rotating development duties each year just to keep the content flowing.
Of course,Call of Dutyisn’t without flaws either, likeCall of Duty: Warzone’s massive hacker problem that it is currently battling. The games are also regularly criticized for being too similar to one another. Still, withWarzonejust launching its fifth seasonandCall of Duty: Vanguard, set to release later this year, it seemsCall of Dutyis here to stay. One day, the series may just have a map for every country in the world.
