15 Things Only Call Of Duty Fans Will Understand

4. The Tension Before A Nuke

Until the most recent Modern Warfare, the Tactical Nuke killstreak only appeared in Modern Warfare 2, but it's a testament to its impact that it's still so closely associated with the franchise.

That's because the unlock - which took 25 unbroken kills to achieve - was the pinnacle of MW's multiplayer suite. It was tough as hell to actually get, but it was worth it because it instantly won the match and would net you bragging rights for life.

As a result though, the pressure you felt when you were on the cusp of a nuke was overwhelming. Your palms would be sweaty, knees weak arms were heavy, and more often than not you'd end up bottling it by getting killed by some scrub.
