14. Call Of Duty (Classic) War On Multiple Fronts
Less of a single moment in the franchise but more a staple set of moment(s) throughout every game since the first, the changing of the player character is iconic. It means that we get to live through different characters and environments. Their stories become our stories and we gradually get to understand a bigger picture as the game progresses. One famous works of fiction that utilises this concept is The Lord Of The Rings. The reader is exposed to numerous perspectives of a single story at various points in the chronology leading us to comprehend how all the separate tangents incorporate with each other. Call Of Duty made this interactive, leading us to learn the cause-and-effect nature of our actions. The fact that the story-telling device is an educational tool is itself iconic. But the fact that you can go from being part of a simulated Dam Busters to fighting through the ruins of Stalingrad as one minor part of the Red Army is genius.
