"With all new graphics, game play style, and thrilling campaign, Call of Duty: Stocked is nothing ever seen"

―Game Review

Call of Duty: Stocked is an independent Call of Duty project started by ADIEStudios and Joshua Orr. The game itself takes place in the near future, where the nation of Poland has been reborn into a brutal authoritarian military junta and is on the brink of starting World War III. As the nations of Ireland and Somnia try to deal with the ever growing threat of war, their allies The Black Knights Templar and the Tsardom of Russia begin supplying other unstable countries with weapons. The multiplayer mode has players either play as Polish GROM special forces or Irish Army Ranger Wing and battle it out in 12 different maps, and an additional 5 bonus maps.

Instead of a traditional zombie mode, this game has a xeno survival game mode, where six players assume the roles of Somnian scientist and one is infected by an alien symbiot. The infected player then chases the other players in one of 8 playable maps. The players can fight back with pistols and other weapons that stun the alien, but if they are touched, they gain the infection and chase the remaining player. The game goes on until only one player remains. The game is also partially inspired by the browser game Politics and War, and few nations and/or scenarios are from players' experiences in the game.

Gameplay

Call of Duty: Stocked is like most other first person shooter. The player must use weapons given to them and strategically both seek cover and try to kill their enemies somehow. The player, in both multiplayer and campaign mode, has something called an EKO suit that serves as slim, protective body armor. The EKO suit allows the player to "jet jump" using jet turbines on their back, grapple onto surfaces, and use multiple visor functions such as heat vision and night vision. Their are new gameplay mechanics in both campaign and multiplayer, such as sequences when players have to ride boats and helicopters.

At one point in the campaign, the player is able to take control of an Irish destroyer and control different parts of it when battling against Polish ships, such as using turrets, launching torpedoes, and taking control of individual missile launchers to strike down smaller enemies. Players now also have the option to ride jeeps and helicopters in the multiplayer mode. In several of the maps, small monitors called "citadels" are present around the map. These citadels

can be used to call in air strikes, back up teams, and even drones. On one multiplayer map titled "Streets", zombies will appear halfway threw and swarm the winning team, providing more of a challenge. Some levels recquire the player to roam freely around city centers to spy on hostile or neutral countries. Space battles are also present in the campaign, which provides either zero gravity or allows the player to board space fighter crafts to shoot down Polish enemy fighters.

The xeno gamemode also has added feature meant to improve gameplay quality. For example, when playing as the xeno, the player gains an arsenal of abilities used to hunt down other players. These abilities include, incredible speed, pouncing, attack claws, poisonous spit, and heat vision in dark areas. The players, however, can shoot the xeno with weapons that stuns it for a certain amount of time (depending on their damage). This gives the xeno a more strategical look on the mode, as it has to sneak up behind the players and either intoxicate them or pounce immediately. On two of the eight maps, the player has the ability to ride speedboats across a swamp area while the xeno can naturally swim underneath and jump up, toppling the boat over. If a player IS brought down to zero health by the xeno, then he will go into "injured" mode and begin slowly crawling on all fours. By holding down X or △ (depending on your controller) the xeno can spit a series of small bugs into the players mouth and infect them as well. But during this time, the player can be healed by another player, which make numerical advantage a key gameplay style.

Campaign

The campaign takes place in the years 2020-2026 where the player must try to prevent war from breaking out between the nations of Europe and North America. The New Polish Republic threatens to turn the all of Eastern Europe into a dictatorship, and it and the nations of Ireland and Somnia (a semi-independent nation in Ireland) begin having disputes which lead to terrorist attacks and smuggling missions.

Plot

Following up to the year 2023, a far right group in Poland led by Joshua Orzechowski has seized control of Poland and have rebuilt it into an authoritarian dictatorship. All free will is immediately eliminated, a set of cruel laws titled the Potentus Law is put into action, and the President position is abandoned. Instead, Orzechowski declares himself Lider (or Supreme Commander) of the New Republic of Poland, and attempts to take control of every aspect of a persons personal life. The entire country becomes heavily militarized, and Lider Orzechowski orders his close American friends Maxwell Cloud and Nicholas Brown to take control of the court system and spread positive propaganda about the country. While Poland is reforming, the Republic of Ireland swarms Tyler Mclean (a former political rival of Orzechowski) into office. Mclean strengthens the Irish military and tightens political ties with Somnia by supplying the country with weapons in case of a British invasion, which they heavily fear.

Meanwhile, Britain is in the middle of a war between an alliance of states known as the Black Knights Templar. This is where the games main protagonist, Somnian special forces member Artur O'Bryne, first appears. Artur is currently on a helicopter heading for London, where the Templar Knights are attacking. After having a heated debate with his commanding officer, Artur dispatches into the warzone and lands near Big Ben. He is radioed by his commander, who is revealed to be a Somnian named Johnathan Barc, who informs him that Knights Templar members are holding the Prime Minister hostage at the top. Artur breaks in and slowly makes his way to the top, fighting off Templar soldiers as he gets higher. He eventually reaches a room somewhere near the center that the Knights are using as a sniping position. Artur executes the sniper and uses the rifle to shoot down Templar troops. He eventually gets word from Barc that Templar soldiers are coming up to flush him out. He blocks the entrance into the room with tables and supplies before continuing up the stair case. He meets little to no resistance as he finally reaches the top, where he meets Barc and an American agent named L.C. Stone. The three storm the main room and kill off the Knight's commander, Josef Blanko. Barc discovers that Blanko rigged himself with a C-4, and the three of them (along with the Prime Minister) jump out of a window and into another support helicopter just before the tower explodes. The attack is deemed a tragedy, but London is saved and the British turn to the offensive.

Meanwhile, Poland secures its army and finally militarizes Warsaw completely, as well as annexing Lithuania, Slovakia, parts of Norway, and parts of Germany. Riots broke out all over Republic territory, and missile testing in Germany leads to hostile relations with the Black Knights Templar, who are partially located in Germany. A march on Warsaw is organized to try and raise citizen morale, but citizens begin to mock soldiers and throw beer bottles at them. General Cranston fires shots of into the air, hoping to scare the citizens. But to no avail, the citizens kept shouting insults and throwing bottles at the soldiers. Orzechowski orders Cranston to have his men fire at the citizens. Over 30 were injured during what the rest of Poland referred to as "the Warsaw massacre". Somnia became suspicious of Poland, and Ireland officially ends Polish-Irish trading.

Artur and his team (which consists of Stone, Barc, and Filipino soldier Sean-Carlo Diago) land at the shore of Norway via boats and begin using mounted turrets on frigate to destroy Knights Templar bunkers. Artur successfully destroys the bunkers, which allows him and his team to advance onto the beach. Artur is met with fierc resistance from Templar soldiers, who use suicide bombers and bayonet charges, as the team travels through the forests and get closer to the Templar capital. The team is stopped when four Templar tanks appear and attempt to push back the British forces. It works, killing many men, but ultimately fails when Diago and Artur arm themselves with RPGs and destroy the tanks. With no other choice, every remaining Templar soldier charges as Artur finally arrives at the capital city. The Knights using bombing runs, killing their own men as the British take gunning position and push the Knights back from their hill. While the Brits are fighting, Artur and his team flank to the left and manage to ambush the other half of the knights, surrounding them and entering the city itself. They invade town hall and capture the Dark Knight Templar chancellor who goes by the code name "Deadman". Barc comes close to executing the chancellor, but ultimately he agrees to sign a cease fire.

Poland officially embargoes Somnia and goes to war with an independent Norwegian nation nicknamed "ducknation". Ducknation, in need of resources, attacks a Polish factory in Norway, stealing oil, gasoline, aluminum, and steel. A mercenary named Nils "Tesk" Mort leads a Polish-Norwegian force to raid a ducknation base. Although the attack force managed to kill a few hundred soldiers and capture a tank, they were eventually outnumbered by ducknation forces and were forced to retreat. Poland declared the mission a failure due to "Somnian spies" and had Max Cloud (who was the chief of propaganda) distribute negative propaganda about Somnia. The Somnian people were outraged, and demanded that their special forces were immediately brought home and refocused on the Polish Republic.

On the Northern Irish Front, Artur and his team were scheduled to return home a day earlier but their flight was delayed. They later got a distress call from the mission chief commander that their flight was hijacked by jihadist terrorists. The helicopter was later spotted crashing into the woods. The team went to investigate the crash only to be attack by terrorists force. Surrounded, Artur and the team used the rubble as cover and began fighting off the waves of approaching terrorists. They were finally rescued by two other teams who managed to drive the jihadists out of their area. Returning back to base, the team discovered that the terrorists had completely destroyed their home camp. Moving forward, Artur and Diago, along with two other teams, pushed through Islamic State forces and found their home base near the very tip of Norway. While the teams advanced up toward the main base, Diago and Artur gunned down two Islamic State support ships, alerting the other terrorist forces. With no supplies, the terrorists held refuge in their base while Diago and Artur infiltrated it, executed the majority of terrorists. Eventually, Artur captured the terrorist commander and took him in for questioning.

Somnia began having suspicions that Kompleks Shadow (a Polish assassin/bounty hunter team controlled by the government) agents were bribing Black Knights Templar commanders to resign in order to eventually take over and invade Ireland. Somnian espionage agents, led by Russian commander Makrovich Heilding, entered Poland through the Black Sea and
