Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
No Russian, even if you hate it today, is still one of those moments in gaming that I’ll never forget. Later games in the series would try to replicate it and they all failed. But here, the shocking display of violence works to set in a motion a fairly by-the-book war story conveyed over a fantastic campaign, with moments that still stick in my brain. I’ll never forget defending that Burger Town. Multiplayer took all the great things from Call of Duty 4 and expanded on them. More maps, more perks, more weapons, and more options. And the spec ops co-op missions were some of the most fun I had with friends.
