THE RISE
One day, about a year ago, I decided to scroll through the App Store on my iPhone, and I stumbled upon COD Mobile and got excited. I downloaded it instantly, played the tutorial, and before you know it I was hooked. Like crazy.
Season 1 was halfway through when I first joined, and times were good. I was a complete noob, knowing the COD franchise but never previously being able to play it. I remember that I used FMJ on everything to “increase its damage”, and that in the very early days I would camp with an Arctic 50 in Crossfire as my main thing to do. It’s even where I got my first nuke, in public matches of course.
Back then the game was beautifully simple. I remember Halloween Standoff and I had great fun playing.
Season 2 came around, and it was just as good as the first. Some new content, and Zombies. Zombies was fun, and while I appreciate how much it is adored by the community, I personally found it a bit overhyped. Don’t judge me badly because I said that!
The battle pass was a little expensive for me, so I left it, but there were so many options as a F2P that it wasn’t a problem. My free time was mainly spent blasting people with my RPD, my weapon of choice back then.
It was then that I started to improve my game knowledge, when I started to watch HawksNest. Divisive as he was, Ferg too was entertaining to watch.
Season 3 was even better. A shorter, cheaper battle pass, more content and maps. COD grew and grew over the next few months as new seasons came and went, each improving on the last. A healthy amount of new content was added each time, Ferg started to mature a bit, Hawks just kept on improving and Path started his first few videos. I was lucky enough to stumble upon his channel in his early days.
I finally became legendary rank in Ranked Season 4, using my favoured weapon then and now, the Man-o-War. Battle Royale was great too, though personally I was mainly playing multiplayer.
There are few experiences like being the last man standing in Legendary rank SnD.
