Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
The third installment in Infinity Ward's series (they developed Modern Warfare as a successor to CoD2, Treyarch concurrently developed what became CoD3 as a sequel to their separate CoD2). Modern Warfare has been almost consistently been ranked as the best in the now oversaturated series, and the praise is mostly deserved. At its best, it plays like Call of Duty, but more so, with nonstop action set pieces, plenty of spiffy weapons and gear, a good amount of gameplay variety, surprisingly compelling storytelling that complements its gameplay, and an almost relentless sense of momentum that would for better or worse characterize the series from here on.
