Call of Duty 4 - For the Fearless Gamer


            According to a University of Rochester study, shooting the "bad guys" in video games can unexpectedly give you better vision. The study's authors believe that the process of locating and aiming at enemies exercised gamers' eyes. And with bad guys unpredictably popping up, the shooting games also helped players learn to analyze optical data on the fly. The researchers believe their study shows the potential of video games -- particularly action games -- to serve as an aid in the way we correct bad eyesight. "Call of Duty 4" is one of those shooter games. This is a first person shooter game, developed by Infinity Ward and published by Activision for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii. It is a multiplayer game, and this is why it's a very good source of a Discourse Community. It makes a huge amount of gamers join together and play against each other. The COD community is one that is composed of individuals who "fire" and "kill", and make as many perfect scores as possible. These individuals, in their spare time, gather in various gaming zones across the nation to compete with and against each other, develop quickness in moving their fingers over keyboard along with the mouse, and, essentially, enjoy life. Just as with other communities, COD players have specialized linguistic structures when discussing specialized terminology, and have a set of shared values that are distinct to those belonging to this specific community. My well-renowned ready wit, my aiming and shooting skills, my inborn leadership and my persuasiveness helped me be a successful member of the COD community in my country.
             For three years I was the local authority on COD. Whenever someone wanted to step better they would ask me for advice. Having come from a financially poor community, to say that the COD community is in part responsible for my being able to complete my studies would not be an understatement.
