10 Greatest Last Stands In Video Game History

10. Chernobyl - Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

A true turning point for the gaming industry, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare forever changed how shooters would look, work and feels going forward. This game took itself deadly seriously and it also expects the same from its audience - so when MacMillan and Price visited Chernobyl, it was no laughing matter.

After creeping through the chilling outskirts, narrowly avoiding a few tanks along the way, they make it to Pripyat. MacMillan is sure to remind the player “Fifty Thousand people used to live in the city, now it's a ghost town”.

The true encounter doesn't come until the target has been taken out and the two are on the run, moving from building to building and laying traps along the way - however the dynamic totally changes once a helicopter crashes and injures MacMillan.

After carrying him to a vantage point, it is up to the player to lay claymores and take out most of the oncoming forces. At this point, the ghillie suits they are wearing might as well be for show, with the number of bullets hailing down upon them whilst in the shadow of the Ferris wheel, that was never used.

But with a steady aim and a decent enough placement of claymores, the pair just make it out.
