Video Game Retrospective – The ‘Modern Warfare’ Trilogy

HoG writes: When a new generation of consoles arrives on the market we need that one game that shows us exactly what the new systems are capable off. With the Playstation 3 and the X-Box 360 that game was Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Five years later another two games in the MW series and two unrelated Call of Duty games have been released. Public attitude towards the series has cooled and sales have dipped but it’s still one of the most significant game series of all time. Although the multiplayer aspect is what kept people playing over the long term the single player campaign has done just as much to influence the industry.

In this retrospective we’ll be turning our gaze to the campaign mode of the series, as enough has been said about the multiplayer and this, at times, can overshadow the other excellent aspect of the game.

I guess whoever wrote this article do not play those games anymore and he has no clue support abandoned 'em long time ago,only thing they offer now is nothing more than a total hack-fest including World at War from Treyarch

The original Infinity Ward were great developers. MW1 was one of the best games this gen and MW2 could have been great if they fixed the multiplayer balance issues. I believe if the whole IW and Activision drama did not happen MW2 would have been fixed but who knows. The current IW is just a shadow of its former self with most of the core team gone and it shows in MW3, which is by far the most forgettable of Call of Duty games
