10. The Matrix Jump Program (Modern Warfare)
You can feel the gaming industry advancing with every frame of animation inside Modern Warfare, so influential and replicable were its strides in first-person shooter gameplay, nothing would ever be the same again. One such level is the first 'proper' gameplay scenario, Crew Expendable, where a trade-off goes sour and you're forced to flee a sinking tanker. Right at the climax of the action you're forced to make a huge leap towards a chopper for safety, to which if you fail, a pop-up will simply say "No one makes it on the first jump". This is a reference/paraphrase to the various ways the crew comment on Neo's progress ("Everybody falls the first time") in the Matrix film when he's loaded into the skyscraper-hopping 'Jump Program'. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9Nh0Fvoe9k
