Bulletstorm Opens Fire On Military Shooters With COD Parody

FPS fans have become wary in recent years about the over-saturation of military shooters. Call of Duty may sell by the truckload each year, but fans are bound to get tired of the same-old same-old eventually...right? A new Bulletstorm-backed parody game titled Duty Calls sets its sights on the overused cliches of the series, including bloody damage screens, dramatic slow-motion kills, and shooting gallery gameplay.

You can download it for free by heading here. Prepare to have every skill you've learned from playing years of first-person shooters be tested.

  • Short video but funny.
  • Lol, duty calls....I can see why they used that when making fun of CoD.

  • It's funny because the stuff said in the trailer is almost the same things Cliff Blizenski said about a month ago about why Bulletstorm stands out in the shooter genre.
  • Has anyone played the game yet? Any reviews?
  • So its a free game? Sweet. . .

  • Duty Calls... heh, that's funny. I'll give it a shot (pun not originally intended, but eh...why the hell not?) after work.
  • REALLY, seriously looking forward to playing this in a couple of weeks.

  • The sad thing is that this spoof looks like it would be more fun than Bulletstorm itself. Also, if you are going to bash a game for using tired cliches and a lack of innovation, don't include a trailer for your game at the end with a minigun shooting at an alien to a song that is severely overused in trailers.
  • sounds funny, but the link is broken

  • haha

  • downloading this thing now

    the game is pretty funny, you can just run past the enemies its about 3 minutes long, it's pretty much just an advertisement for bulletstorm though
  • If there's anything we learned over the years, it's that the best kind of advertising within the gaming space is making fun of other successful things.

  • Blah, blah, blah... I think this is the funniest thing I have seen all day!

  • They should have made the video longer.
  • I wonder what Activision's Bobby Kotick is going to say about this?
  • Haha. A friend of mine posted a YouTube video of the whole game on Facebook this morning. Call of Duty in a nutshell.
  • Blah blah blah

  • its about time somebody makes fun of cod. I'm kinda surprised gameinformer keeps giving the games decent reviews since they are all the same basic gameplay and have been for a long time
  • i want to try this game.

  • That video sums up about 2.5/3rds of all shooting games.
