After a seemingly endless back catalogue detailing some of the world's most historical conflicts, 2007 saw the Call of Duty series catapult itself into the present day with the genre-defining Modern Warfare.

Taking the player across the world through the various skirmishes contested by a US Marine and British SAS Commando, COD4 dealt with political unrest in Russia and war in the Middle East in the franchise's usual hyperbolic way.

Gaining world-wide acclaim for its revolutionary use of weaponry and customisation, the game kicked off the FPS online explosion with players across the globe taking each other on in massive skirmishes, death-matches, and missions.
