I'm not sure what the Call of Duty reference has to do with Consoles. Call of Duty 1 never landed on console except as a free download when you bought CoD:MW2 many years later and CoD 2 was PC first and console second so the hiding under a desk trend started on PC?
Secondly, if you are going to play Call of Duty you have to play on 'Hardcore' mode where 1-2 bullets do kill you, no health regen and no radar which, you can do on console just as well as PC.
