Today we consider Call Of Duty 4 to be quite revolutionary but, at the time, it was also a pretty big gamble as very few game series decide to change the premise of their games to such an extreme degree. Taking a franchise that was always set during WWII and bringing it into the present was a risk, but it also paved the way for the huge popularity of modern shooters experienced today. In order to ensure its success, the developers felt like CoD needed to have that one big moment one which will get people talking - and the game delivered that in a big way. The setup is pretty straightforward the American soldiers are the heroes who come to save the day by securing a dangerous nuke. You go in, you shoot a few people, you win. Job well done! Except that its not, as just when you think that things are going smoothly, the nuke goes off and you and your entire squad are dead in a single, devastating moment. Its a jaw-dropping moment, one which enthusiastically flips the bird to the stereotypical view of how a scene like this is supposed to go down. As if it wasnt enough, the mission ends with your character surviving the blast for a few more minutes and giving you a last chance to crawl on the ground a little. It provides the player with a brief moment of hope where he hopes that somehow, someway his character makes it out of this alive. But no, that hope is soon extinguished. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2S3N0uSSho Which other WTF Gaming moments deserve to make this list? Share your thoughts below in the comments thread below.
