The creation of Activision's Call of Duty franchise tends to be shared in turn between two developers, Treyarch and Infinity Ward. The last installment Call of Duty 4 (COD4) was created by Infinity Ward, and was set in the current world's geopolitical landscape, where you alternated between SAS Commandos and US Marines hunting down terrorists with nuclear weapons.
To me, COD4 was, and is, the ultimate war game, and every time I play it, the game takes on a fresh, new dimension as you battle your way through an endless array of scenarios, weapons and villains. It is beautifully rendered, with exquisite attention to detail. It comes as no surprise to me that COD4was recognised across the games business as the best game of 2008."
