I think Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2 was the best for me, I love the in depth story missions of the game in which the story campaign had been the best in any Call of Duty up to that point and the game also introduced some of my favourite multiplayer maps in the series The terminal and highrise. It's no surprise the game went on to be one of the top selling games of that generation.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. As someone who mostly plays campaigns in these types of games, the storyline was epic. I felt like I was an actor in an action movie - high-paced, explosions everywhere, etc.

Many games have started to copy and recreate this experience.

it would have to be modern warfare 2. sure i played the campaign and multiplayer which was fast paced and really well made. but the warzone element really changed things for me. just dropping into a map of that scale and the excitement of being the last man standing. And too it seemed to generate more interest with me friends. and playing together in the early days was like the best thing ever, striving for back to back wins or trying different strategies to win. It made some of the best gaming memories.

I think many older players would say Call of Duty 2 but for many millennials it would be Modern Warfare 2. At that point COD had become a global phenomenon far exceeding any other FPS game bar Halo in the zeitgeist.

Activision were so confident they bundled the pre-order with night vision goggles. Not even the grass roots campaign of boycotting the game because they ditched the dedicated servers on PC were able to keep the members that signed up from playing that game on release. That was the staying power of Modern Warfare 2.

For so many years of high school there were only two games you played at a friends house: Modern Warfare 2 and Fifa 2008 - 2013.
