Audience

I created a questionnaire online and sent it to my twitter followers, and people on game forums, to answer a series of questions so I could understand who and why they play call of duty, and what feature they play most on the game.

The Call of Duty Game audience is both genders; however, there are drastically more males to females. Age is varying, mostly from the age of 14, up until the age of 20, however, people still play it that are older than 20. I know this first hand as I know several people that are over the age of 30, and still play video games weekly. It shows the variety of ages the game aims at.

My map would have to be aimed at the right people, and be appealing to the community, not just me. I asked people what where their own personal favourite feature on Call of Duty, what they believe is the most popular, and how much they would be willing to pay for new maps in Call of Duty and it shows that the Multiplayer on the game is what people think is the most popular and enjoy playing the most, with zombies second. Most people would also be willing to spend around £10 on new maps, with a few willing to pay above, and below. This means the majority of people would be exposed to my map, and could purchase and play it.

I have gone onto the Call of Duty Community forums, and found a post asking people if they want to see big or small maps, and the majority of people say they would like bigger maps placed into the game, to balance things out, as currently most of the maps are really small compared to the older maps. I also, am part of the community that enjoys the Call of Duty franchise, so while playing their games, you make your own opinions, and hear people praise maps, make comments on what they like and dislike, and what people would like to see in the game next.

My personal favourite map on any of the call of duty game would be ‘Vacant’ on Call of Duty, as it’s balanced. It has half of the map close quarters, and the other half open and long range. It was a very dull, dark map with lots of places for cover. I have also seen this map mentions in many forums as being other peoples favourite map too. And quite a few of my friends love this map. Looking on the forums, most people prefer the older maps, rather than the newer maps, some even like the remakes of the old maps more than new maps also.
