On top of that, it gave us a memorable and innovative multiplayer mode that changed the series forever. You could turn on the news (and frankly, still can) and hear about similar events happening in the Middle East, it was slightly unsettling but a unique way to tell a story in a video game.

The genre of military shooters changed from World War 2 stories that were mostly focused on placing you in historic battles to beautifully crafted, new stories told during a time period we were all living in. The plot was rich with characters you cared about like Gaz and Captain Price and characters you utterly despised like Al-Asad and Zakhaev. It gave us one of the most cinematic campaigns of its time with intense moments that make your heart race like the opening mission where you scramble to escape a sinking cargo ship or when you have to stealthily crawl through irradiated fields filled with dozens of Russian soldiers to get to a vantage point so you can expertly assassinate a Russian arms dealer. MSRP: $79.99 (must purchase a copy of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare's Legacy Edition to play Modern Warfare Remastered)Ĭall of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is one of the best first-person shooters of all time, probably top 10 if not top 5.
