long-running franchise while it did
enjoy the same 60 FPS graphics and
chaotic gameplay that the series boasts
it lacked several features enjoyed by

modern warfare two's lightning in a
bottle the campaign saw players
navigating through World War 3 with a
variety of jaw-dropping cinematic
moments who doesn't remember seeing
London attack through a family's
camcorder or the tragic end of soap come
on start with my son on the multiplayer
side Infinity Ward and sledgehammer
pushed the fast pace of the online
combat to go even faster
by introducing a new fan favorite Kill
Confirmed while in no way revolutionary
this solid entry helps cement the modern
warfare legacy number 8
advanced warfare so what's next for
Jonathan ions this power really change
everything you try stepping into the
exosuit and tell us it doesn't in an
effort to make the series as ultra fast
gameplay even faster
sledgehammer introduced the exosuit
allowing for new gameplay possibilities
both on and offline
this in turn breathed a fair amount of
vigor into a franchise that many
believes to be stagnating coupled with
an exciting narrative starring videogame
superstar Troy Baker and the legendary
Kevin Spacey you've got the closest
thing the series has seen to a comeback
since modern warfare pay your respects
number seven black ops 2 sometimes it's
too late to save a man let's move out
before we join them in death instead of
jumping between the perspectives of
different soldiers in a war black ops 2
saw players jumping between father and
son the elder being a CIA agent in the
Cold War during the 1980s and the other
fighting the Cold War 2.0 as China and
the United States struggled for
resources necessary for building drone
weapons on top of rounding out Alex
Mason's storyline from black ops the new
pick-ten system and multiplayer gave
players the freedom to customize their
loadouts to an even greater extent we're
taking the lead number 6 Call of Duty ok
here it is the game that started it all
a PC exclusive at launch Call of Duty
demonstrated the ability to orchestrate
over-the-top set pieces better than any
other shooter available at the time
while people like to ridicule the
uselessness of Call of Duty squadmates
in recent titles the amazing feeling of
being part of a dynamic chattering squad
in the first game was unmatched and
truly impressive for 2003 fun fact the
original working name for this game was
Medal of Honor killer safe to say it did
what it was intended to do number 5
world at war world at war was just the
right blend of intensity and bloodshed
to get players to dust off the m1
Garands for the last time
showcasing some of the most brutal
moments of the Second World War namely
the u.s. invasion of the Japanese
islands and the Russian front pushing
from Stalingrad to Berlin the campaign
was by far the most violent in the
series to date and it was also cemented
by the talents of Kiefer Sutherland and
Gary Oldman take my rifle and watch
through on top of it all it introduced
us to one of the most popular side modes
in video games ever Nazi Zombies number
4 modern warfare 2
bigger is the name of the game in modern
warfare 2 as an in-your-face campaign
was improved by some of the franchise's
finest online multiplayer only made
better by the inspired map designs and
customizable scorestreaks the campaign
stepped up how cinematic the games could
get taking the fight onto the doorsteps
of the United States with a laundry list
of jaw-dropping set pieces many of them
quite literally ripped from a certain
Michael Bay film the buzz that this game
got may still have you talking for a
while just remember no Russian number 3
call of duty 2
the first of the franchise to hit
consoles called duty 2 brought players
across the battlefields of war-torn
Europe and Africa as players to control
of different soldiers in different
battles continuing to showcase the
horrors of World War 2 this entry
brought in two of the series is most
defining features the nearby grenade
indicator and the infamous regenerating
health system it was also the most
popular launch title for the Xbox 360 so
chances are if you bought one in the
first year you also had a copy of this
number two black ops Yankee one three
report just a series fatigue started to
become a factor
black ops provided a fresh world to
shooting fans putting them in the shoes
of CIA operative Alex Mason in the peak
of the Cold War I believe I'm correct in
saying that civilization has been saved
more than once in this grave this not
only allowed for some tense missions as
well as fantastically inspired
multiplayer but also gave the series
some of its best narrative and
mind-bending storytelling moments it was
made all the better by voice actors Sam
Worthington and Harris and even Gary
Oldman reprising his role from world at
war the multiplayer also got one of its
best maps in the series with the
introduction of nuke town which quickly
became a fan favorite
number one Modern Warfare no other entry
was such a game changer for both online
play and first person player narratives
not just for the series but for the
genre as a whole
rules of engagement sir I'm expendable
single-player was an accomplishment in
and of itself whether it was sneaking
past an armed battalion in a ghillie
suit or crawling from a wrecked
helicopter after a nuclear bomb has gone
off in your face - simply dropping bombs
from the safety of an ac-130 this was a
benchmark in first-person narrative nice
play this is Bravo six we found it and
with the introduction of perks and
killstreaks and multiplayer modern
warfare defined not only the franchise
but set the level to which all other
first-person shooters would be compared
to for the rest of the generation
targets a quiet I have a positive ID on
eminence I can do you would be with our
