This iteration reminds me why CoD is such a big deal today. The experience it offers is simply unrivaled.

Gameplay wise, you got crisp gunplay and nice movement. Huge range of realistic weapons to choose from that you can customize to your hearts content. Notice that no weapon is locked behind a paywall? That's how things should have fucking been!

The campaign is an absolute classic! If I ever had a son I will make playing through this campaign obligatory for him at a young age so that he can develop a better taste in video games. Although arguably not as iconic as the MW2, the campaign has so many memorable moments that it would be too long to list. Be aware though, veteran mode is pretty hard and I gave up finishing the game under veteran simply because all enemies are basically aimbots.

Multiplayer is the best of all time. We had huge Lan sessions back in the day and everybody would be playing 24/7. The maps are designed extremely well - just the right sizes and the pathways allow for frequent exchanges between players while also not just let everyone gets spawn killed. I could honestly just sit and play all day without stopping.

To me, this is hands down the best CoD of all time. I love this game and what it has to offer. It also acts as a constant reminder of how shit CoD has become in recent times.

Alright, let's talk about "Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare." This game was a game-changer, bringing the Call of Duty series into the modern era with a bang. From the get-go, the gameplay may feel a bit linear, but trust me, it's a blast. There's nothing quite like the thrill of shooting down enemies with a variety of guns, each one packing its own punch. And the story? It's solid. It keeps you hooked from start to finish, setting the stage for the sequels to come.

Sure, "Modern Warfare" may have its flaws, but it laid the groundwork for some seriously improved sequels. If you're into modern-themed shooters with intense gameplay and a gripping storyline, this one's definitely worth checking out.
