I think we should add a part called Call of Duty: Finest Hour Critical Reaction about the large number of people who were upset with the quality of the game after playing Call of Duty and, Call of Duty: United Offensive. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Caleb09 (talk. contribs).
Contents Biography Pre-Stalingrad HistoryTanya's home village of Pitomnik was a small and comparatively isolated community located within the western realm of Russia. This isolation served to somewhat blind the village inhabitants to the specific details of the Great Patriotic War, even though they knew it existed and was raging on.Tanya knew little of the war in Europe, even after the Germans invaded the Soviet Union in 1941. Her home village of Pitomnik was small and isolated, cut off from the everyday realities of what would become known to all Russians as The Great Patriotic War.The date on which German Armed Forces entered and took the village of Pitomnik is unknown. However, what is known is that Tanya was quickly separated from her family, whom she never saw again. Fleeing through the woods, she was picked up by a patrol from the. She joined up soon after.Some undetermined time later in an undisclosed location, a patrol Tanya was a part of was ambushed and cut to pieces by the Germans, forcing her to take shelter in a collapsed building. There, she discovered a scoped rifle alongside a fallen comrade.
Allegedly with the voice of her father guiding her aim, she scored four kills before she was retrieved by additional Red Army forces.This action was reported to Headquarters, and soon enough Tanya was reassigned as a sniper and deployed in Stalingrad.September 20, 1942 - Mamayev KurganTanya sniping Germans in the ruins of Stalingrad.Lieutenant Pavelovna spent the majority of the day attempting to hunt down a sniper from the German side, pursuing him throughout the ruins of Stalingrad. She finally caught up to him at, waiting for him to expose his position before she pounced, eliminating him with one shot. As it turned out, the opposing sniper's target was Private, who was saved only by the selfless action of Sergeant, who shoved the private aside and took the bullet himself in the head.Tanya gave Private Sokolov the task of leading their men up through the park to conquer the Observation Bunker placed at the top.
She gave covering fire as best as she could from her new position, and ultimately fell to Russian hands.Sometime afterward, Tanya offered Aleksandr a job as her 'Spotter', which he readily accepted.October 3, 1942 - Tractor FactoryTanya and Aleksandr in a partially destroyed building.Lieutenant Pavelovna's actions began with the objective of destroying a German Mark IV Panzer by means of a deployed land mine. First, however, she had to attract the Tank's attention by the systematic removal of Wehrmacht Troops in the immediate area. After eight or so kills, including one Officer, the tank arrived in force. After Tanya sniped the three Tank escorts that traveled with it, a Russian sapper threw a land mine in the tank's path and blew it up.A new objective was soon discovered; at the behest of, who had just discovered them, Tanya was obliged to follow him to the old Tractor Factory converted into a Tank Depot and help reinforce the defenses there that were taking fire.
However, the above-ground route was quickly eliminated by the presence of another Mark IV Panzer which made mincemeat of the attacking Russians. There was little choice but to proceed into the sewers.Once below ground, Tanya, Aleksandr, and Mikael soon encountered sporadic German resistance and Soviet allies amidst the labyrinth of tunnels and wreckage. Tanya survived this ordeal and finally emerged back above ground, only to be forced to navigate a trench work system being shelled by mortar fire before the group could arrive at the factory.From there, Tanya and Aleksandr set up shop on the gangplank above the main factory doors. Relying on her Spotter for accurate sightings, Tanya methodically shot down German soldiers who were advancing on the factory, giving key emphasis on Panzerschreck and MG42 Gun crews. The factory was defended in this way until the Russian tank crew lead by Lieutenant made it back. After a brief moment where Tanya had to help to patch up, she hitched a ride with Badanov, Aleksandr, and the crew and evacuated from the factory.A short while later, engine trouble forced the tank crew to try and hide the tank in a safe place so repairs could be made. Tanya was urged to seek high ground in order to spot and observe any nearby German activity.
Activity did come in the form of German Bombers accompanied by Infantry. Tanya held her ground and killed whatever Germans she could until an arriving Panzer IV made short work of the building she had chosen as high ground.Tanya was wounded in action, but was still able to retain consciousness as Aleksandr and an unknown comrade helped carry her back to Headquarters.GameplayFor ' ', Tanya is strictly an NPC armed with a scoped Mosin-Nagant rifle. She is not overly useful in the mission itself, aside from removing the sniper in a cutscene and giving Aleksandr his orders.However, Tanya becomes a playable character in ' and '. The scoped Mosin-Nagant remains her primary weapon, but now she can pick up the standard assortment of Russian and German weaponry as she progresses through the levels.By ', Tanya is once again an NPC. Much like ', her involvement is relatively scarce and brief.Trivia. Tanya is another Call of Duty: Finest Hour reference to the 2001 movie Enemy at the Gates, which features a female sniper by the same name who loses her family to the German regime in the invasion of Stalingrad and enlists with the Red Army's sniper divisions to exact revenge.
A in the American Missions, ', reveals the character model for Tanya engaging in a dance with several other character sprites. It is not a real encounter between Tanya and the American forces however, just an Easter Egg for the amusement of the players.References. In her opening speech at the beginning of, Tanya states that she was 25 when the Germans invaded Russia.
How many women star in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2? To save you time, they're all stood in the picture above – sporting variants of the same hairstyle – in the infamous No Russian scene. It's bewildering, if not surprising. 's roots stem from the machismo of World War I and II conflict – and while broadly historically justifiable, presents a narrow view of reality. Activision's shooter has broadened its sights in recent years, with.
Back in 2013, Call of Duty: Ghosts looked to redress the balance with multiplayer characters representing both sexes, although there aren't any women the campaign besides an unplayable astronaut. Digging deeper, we've found that the series is (slightly) more inclusive than you might give it credit. Here's the women who have served bravely under the Call of Duty banner, from 2003's original Call of Duty to 2016's. Like their male counterparts, they come from all walks of life, and are mostly just handy with a gun. Albeit with a limited range of haircuts.

The matriarch of the Call of Duty series is Tanya Pavelovna, a Russian sniper who played a key role in Call of Duty: Finest Hour (PS2, Xbox, GameCube). After her village was taken by the Germans and she was separated from her family, she joined the Red Army, becoming an adept fighter. She once picked up a sniper rifle laying next to a fallen comrade and, without any training whatsoever, took down four enemy soldiers before being rescued by the Reds.
Tanya joins up with protagonist Aleksandr during the Finest Hour campaign, providing cover fire for her comrades and most notably serving as a distraction for a German Panzer tank. It takes a lot of gravitas to put oneself in the crosshairs of a tank, but Tanya did just that and lived to tell the tale. Prev Page 2 of 12 Next Prev Page 2 of 12 Next Josefina Menendez (Call of Duty: Black Ops 2). Release date: 2012Who is she? Poor, poor Josefina. The younger sister of Black Ops 2 antagonist Raul Menendez suffers a cruel fate, severely burned by a backdraft during a barn fire as a child.
As Raul cared for her, American troops stormed his compound, with protagonists Mason and Woods inadvertently killing her in a grenade explosion. Her death fuels Raul's hatred for the USA, hatching his plan for revenge and making Josefina the catalyst for the entire Black Ops 2 storyline. In a way, there is no Black Ops 2 without Josefina. Raul mentions her throughout the game, and we see her at different stages of her incredibly tough life. The vision of her disfigured face is one that we won't get out of our minds very soon, reminding us of Maria in Gears of War 2.
Josefina plays a critical part in Black Ops 2, despite not having a lot of screen time at all. Prev Page 3 of 12 Next Prev Page 3 of 12 Next Abigial 'Misty' Briarton (Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 Zombies). Release date: 2012Who is she? When the first Black Ops 2 posters came out, one of them was a picture of a woman holding a Winchester rifle in one hand and a skull in the other, surrounded by rubble and debris.
We didn't know who this woman was, but we had a feeling she'd be part of whatever new Zombie campaign Black Ops 2 would throw at us. Abigail 'Misty' Briarton is her name, and her official job description is 'Hurting zombies'.
We don't have a whole lot of background on Abigail, except that she grew up on a farm. However, when we're knee deep in the undead, Abigail is happy to oblige with a shotgun in her hands and a smile on her face. Prev Page 4 of 12 Next Prev Page 4 of 12 Next Samantha Maxis (Call of Duty: Zombies). Release date: 2008-presentWho is she? Samantha here isn't so much a part of the core Call of Duty campaign, but rather the Zombies storyline seen in World at War and both Black Ops games.
She is possessed by Edward Richtofen, the mad doctor antihero responsible for all of the countless undead we've been shooting since 2008. In short, she controls the zombie hordes.
For a while, we only hear Samantha's voice as the 'Demonic Announcer,' but we finally get a chance to control her in the Moon stage of the original Black Ops, replacing Richtofen after completing a certain 12-step Easter egg. It's a lot of work, but getting the chance to play as the girl that's been terrorizing us with her voice since the original Zombies game is worth it. Prev Page 5 of 12 Next Prev Page 5 of 12 Next Sarah Michelle Gellar (Call of Duty: Zombies). Release date: 2010Who is she? It's, er, Sarah Michelle Gellar.
Y'know: Buffy. The Call of the Dead DLC for the original Black Ops' zombie campaign was tremendous fun. Michael Rooker, Danny Trejo, and Robert Englund add B-movie pizzaz, but to control Buffy the Vampire Slayer against a horde of zombies was beyond thrilling.
Sarah was a blast to control; shooting her way through the undead while shouting lines like 'How's this for a close-up, dead head?!' Was well, it's better than it sounds. We still think that Call of the Dead may be the best of the Call of Duty Zombie chapters, with Sarah Michelle Gellar being a major reason for it, despite – or because of – those one-liners. Prev Page 6 of 12 Next Prev Page 6 of 12 Next Captain Pelayo (Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare).
Release date: 2007Who is she? Ah, Captain Pelayo, the expert helicopter pilot of Call of Duty 4 who found herself in quite a jam. If by 'jam', you mean 'nuclear blast'. Having been shot down by a Stinger missile, Sgt. Jackson goes to the site of the crash to save her, a decision that cost him his life. Soon after she is shot down, a nuclear device is set off, killing everyone aboard the chopper and in the immediate area. Captain Pelayo plays an integral part in the lore of Call of Duty, as she set the stage for one of the iconic moments in the entire series.

Chloe Lynch, codenamed 'Karma', may seem like an ordinary NPC support character in Black Ops 2. However, Chloe is actually a benchmark for the entire CoD series: she is the first character in any Call of Duty game who will survive or die based on the player's progress throughout the campaign. Others have died throughout the series' storylines, but none of their fates were entirely on us. We didn't want Chloe to die, not least because she's the only person who can crack the virus launched against America, so we made sure we did everything we could to ensure her survival. We failed in our play through, however, and now this sentence reads like we're mentally unravelling, with limited benefit to yourself, dear reader.
Prev Page 8 of 12 Next Prev Page 8 of 12 Next Female multiplayer character (Call of Duty: Ghosts). Release date: November, 2015Who is she?
Treyarch was proud to announce that you could actually play as a woman for the entire Black Ops 3 campaign, a first for the CoD franchise. The team promised a gender neutral script and compared their lead to Alien’s Ripley who was originally written as a man before Sigourney Weaver’s inspired casting. While the end result does mean we get actress Abby Brammell reading the script instead of Ben Browder, the campaign itself is littered with other characters calling you “boy scout” or just referring to you as “him”. Points for immersion, Treyarch. Throw in the fact that romantic relationship with operative Rachel Kane just isn’t changed at all for the female perspective and even with the best intentions, it feels like the franchise’s first female playable gay protagonist was a bit of a last minute decision. A good step but perhaps one that could have done with a bit of QA testing.
Prev Page 10 of 12 Next Prev Page 10 of 12 Next Audrey 'Mac' MacCallum (Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare). Release date: November, 2016Who is she? Of all the CODs, Infinite Warfare has one of the best rounded casts when it comes to representation, with several prominent women. However, of all of them, chief engineer Audrey 'Mac' MacCallum is perhaps the most interesting. As a former commander turned chief engineer she’s a voice of wisdom that speaks to you from the position of having sat in your chair. She’s made the kind of difficult life and death decisions that test you during the game’s campaign, so she knows what you’re going through.
She’s almost the game’s Yoda in terms of providing wise counsel and guidance. There’s a depth to her character from her life experiences, something that works exceptionally well thanks Claudia Black grounded and understated performance. Prev Page 11 of 12 Next Prev Page 11 of 12 Next Ilona (Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare). Release date: 2014Who is she? Ilona is an ex-Spetsnaz sniper who works for Atlas, a powerful private military organisation (PMC) of spies and scientists who work together to promote world peace. During the campaign, she pops up as a team mate, who assists the lead playable character Mitchell.
What’s most refreshing, is that Ilona is one of the brightest and most multi-talented characters in the game, who works out the ‘bigger picture’ plot twist before anyone else – and, if you look closely in the ‘Atlas’ mission, tops the score cards in the company firing range.
