“Call of Duty/Warzone” top game for Morton students
February 1, 2021
“Call of Duty” was the best game of 2020 for Morton East students.
According to a Forbes article by Erik Kain, interestingly, he considered “Call of Duty Modern Warfare” is the best “Call of Duty” of the decade. “Call of Duty” added something to the game called “Warzone,” which brought more people to the game because it was free to any user. “Warzone” ended up getting 4/5 in a review, according to PCmag by Gaberial Zamora. “A clever and addictive battle royale game, with excellent visuals and good PC performance,” Gaberial Zamora PCmag writer said. In a random survey of 51 Morton East students, 24 students said that Call of Duty was the best game of 2020.
“My game would be COD(Call of Duty) because it’s my go-to game. It is easy to play since I have been playing COD ever since release, and it is fun to play with my friends or solo queue online,” senior Jonathan Palencia said.
“Among Us” came in second place, with 19 students voting it as their 2nd best game of 2020.
“I personally think that “Among Us” a really good game and it’s really slept on. I think it‘s really fun to see how we turn on each other and how it’s PG friendly and it doesn’t have violence compared to the other popular games,” senior Sam Medina said.
Following “Among Us” for the best game is “Animal Crossing New Horizon,” with 10 students putting it as their 3rd best game of 2020. Even though 16 students voted it as their least favorite “Animal Crossing,” managed to receive enough votes to pass the “Last of Us 2” by a small margin.

“I love “Animal Crossing” because it gives me a sense of happiness when I see my Islanders talk and Interact with each other. It makes me feel like I’ve done enough for my Islanders to be happy and comfortable on my island,” senior Ariana Soriano said.
“Last of Us 2” received 13 votes from students who placed it as their 4th best game of 2020. Although it was close to surpassing “Among Us,” “The Last of Us 2” was ranked lower by many students preventing it from beating “Among Us.”
“Last of Us 2. I have not touched a single game in this franchise. It’s my understanding that this game was controversial with a lot of story moments in the game. On reflecting, I think it is telling that I have heard that there’s a lot of controversy over this game, but I have yet to hear any comments on the gameplay,” Morton East math teacher Dalton Elkins said.
“Fall Guys” received the fewest votes as most students put fall guys as their 4th and 5th best game of 2020.
“Fall Guys is, in my opinion, heavily underrated as a social party game right now. It is currently being overshadowed by the accessibility and simplicity of “Among Us,” but I believe this game has a promising future. Anyone who missed out on playing this one should honestly give it a try,” Morton East math teacher Dalton Elkins said.

[BELMARES] The article is well informed and can persuade people to play. I’m not a big fan of COD, but my little brother is, and boy is he in love with it! Seeing him having so much fun makes me think how good the game is. I might just try it out for myself.

Honestly my game of the year was probably Animal Crossing, Call of Duty was just disappointing all year around. With the lackluster launch of Cold war and the sweatfest of Warzone. Animal Crossing was just a relaxing game to past the time.

Not surprised that Call of Duty/Warzone got first place. Not a game I would choose cause I’m a pc player and it has high demand on graphics because my pc isn’t the best. I’m really disappointed that Last of Us 2 got 4th place and not Fall Guys cause the story was really bad and it didn’t shine like the first one.

BELMARES: Out of all those options, I do agree with the poll. COD is a more addictive game compared to all the other games. In addition, its a more experienced and consistent game. For 10+ years, COD has been around in video games and it has been succeeding. Therefore, it means more people are playing the game because of its ability to entice the audience.

Belmares- I agree with the Morton students who choose Call of Duty Warzone as their favorite game of 2020. Since I can remember I have always played Call of Duty games when I was younger. However, with all the new battle royal’s that come out when I was in middle school, I slowly stopped playing Call of Duty overall. However, when I heard the creators of Call of Duty made a battle royal, I knew I had to check it out. So I tried it with my friends and fell in love, still playing it to this day.

BELMARES, this article is really well written, and I agree that Warzone is the best game out right now to play, sometimes. There can be a lot of hackers in some games who just ruin the game but other then that it’s a free, cross platform game, that you can play with your friends. Among us was a good game, then after a while of playing it, it just got boring to me.

Daily: I agree with the among us opinion it his the top rated game so far this year and some what last year, I do believe that the game is slowly dying out because people are looking for more of a hype game now a days.

Belmares – I liked how this article showed all the information of each games that are most popular at Morton. I also liked how a histogram was used to show the poll of people who liked different games.

BELMARES, I play COD Modern Warfare on my Xbox with my friends and I can easily say it has been one of my favorite games this year and last year. I also really enjoy COD Cold War because of the Zombies mode in the game.

pretty good article personally my top game of 2020 has to be Final Fantasy 7 Remake. It was also a surprise to see that Warzone was the top Game

BELMARES-I like how well written the article is written and am not surprised warzone won. It is such an addictive game and is free to play and in addition it is among the first games that has crossplay meaning you can play with people on different platforms which allows people to play with more of their friends.
