Call of Duty Acknowledge a Popular ‘Press F to Pay Respects’ Meme

While it has been years since the release of ‘Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare,’ some details from the game have not been forgotten by fans of the series.

One of the pieces of popular culture that have emerged from the game includes the famous words that appeared on the screen: ‘Press F to pay respects.’ The sentence appeared during a funeral in the game and encouraged players to honor the dead by pressing F, but the actual sentence has quickly become a popular meme. In Call of Duty: Vanguard, developers added a new twist to this meme.

Sledgehammer Games worked on the development of Advanced Warfare, so when they focused on Call of Duty: Vanguard, they decided to leave a fun Easter egg for dedicated players to discover in the game. If players accidentally blow up after holding their own grenades for too long, they will get an achievement called ‘F.’ In this way, developers not only acknowledged the famous meme but also showed that they can make fun of themselves.

What is also funny is that the team of Sledgehammer Games also decided to use ‘F’ as a button for a completely different activity in the game — spending time with family. We don’t know what the logic behind this decision is, but it would definitely be interesting how they will go about using the ‘F’ button in the next Call of Duty games.

Call of Duty: Vanguard was released at the beginning of September and immediately attracted a lot of users. The game is available for all the popular platforms — PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Windows PC.
