Inappropriate Call fo Duty franchise extensions - Hotspot Homework for Aug. 11

Hey all! One of my favorite parts of Gamespot (besides the forums and you lovely people :D) has to be the Hotspot, Gamespot's weekly podcast. Every week at the end of the podcast, host Brendan Sinclair (Gamespot username polybren) gives out a homework assignment. Winners get mentioned on the podcast and get a gold star homework assignment emblem in their profile. I figured this thread would be fun to talk about the homework assignment, post your ideas, and come up with your submissions. So many submissions get sent in every week that we don't hear about. Even if you don't listen to the hotspot, it could still be fun to discuss the questions and come up with ideas. Email your submissions to hotspot@gamespot.com. Feel free to use this thread to discuss the episode as well.

Even if you don't listen to the Hotspot, join the discussion! You can still post funny answers to the questions. :P

This weeks question is is about the Call of Duty franchise. Activision recently said that Call of Duty is going to be extended into different genres besides war shooters. What inappropriate Call of Duty brand extensions can you come up with?

Examples from the cast include Call of Duty Boot Camp, a minigame collection for Wii, Call of Duty Consciencious Objector, a driving game where you attempt to escape to the Canadian border, and Call of Duty Catch-22, 15% flight sim and 85% intellectual debate.

So what have you got? :P

Call of Duty Joke Time, to raise the morale of the troops that are fighting you run around and tell jokes to them.

This was my sub:

Call of Duty: Don't Ask, Don't Tell

In this spin off of Call of Duty, you play a gay soldier. The first half of the game is a Persona-type RPG where you fight turn-based battles with enemies but also have to monitor relationships with other members of your squad. The object of the game is to not reveal your sexuality, thought as you develop your relationships with the characters this will be harder to hide. The second half of the game comes when your sexuality is discovered. The game then transitions to a Phoenix Wright-like court room drama where you must successfully defend yourself before the military tribunal against the Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy.

:P

Call of Duty : Modern Paintball

Call of Duty: PR Analyst; A meta-referential game where you play as an overworked and underpaid PR analyst tasked with inventing as many ways as possible to milk the Call of Duty franchise. "We've got to invent five more spin-offs before the end of shift! We must sell more than the Battlefield franchise!"

Call of Duty: Saving Private Snuggles; You play an American Veterinarian where you must fight your way across the assorted battlefields of the Second World War in order to treat an injured cat who needs to be taken home to Iowa. "It's my duty to rescue that dear cat, and send him home! His life is worth more than mine."

Call of Duty: Transatlantic; It is your sworn duty to get the passengers of Flight 709 from London Heathrow to Dallas/Fort Worth International by 17:15 precisely! Lots of brooding dialogue; "I know we've got a tropical storm coming in, but it's my duty to get these passengers to their loved ones at the Arrivals gate no later than 17:26!"

Call of Duty: Sgt Bilko Edition. While war rages across the planet and terrorists threaten the destruction of our very way of life, your task is to run the largest illegal gambling operation NATO has ever seen. Any points earned through scamming your superiors can be used to buy things like extra character models (Dobermann, Steve Martin as Bilko etc).

Call of Duty: World War Wii.

A collection of mini games that anyone from the age of 3 to 103 can play. So even your grandfather, or great grandfather, can join in on the fun in remember the glory days of World War II. Bring your Mii along and have fun with such games as Island Hopping, a 4 player hot potato game where you and 3 other buddies toss cutesy nuclear warheads over the Pacific in preparation for the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings. Plus with the Mii function, you could bring your chibi Adolph Hitler and have a blast with other great party games.

Use the Wii balance board as you run and dodge incoming Nazi defense attacks in Normandy. Your elders will remember the good ol' days with this one. Use your Wii remote as a mine detector and try to cross safely through Nazi territory. Who said reliving the past can't be fun and cute.

Winner.

Im all for Call of Doodee # 2; its a compelling take on the intestinal bugs which a soldier comes in contact with while in exotic locales...the gameplay is a bit limited, as youre stuck on the can with the latest victorias secret to read and nothing else, but successful completion of your mission could lead to a big payoff!!
