The Modern Warfare series fell quite off with MW3. The Black Ops storyline, in my opinion, was quite much more well crafted. Makarov is a laughable villain (as well as Zakhaev for the same reason) with his reasons for hating America being "Huehue, I am Russian and you are American. You are capitalist pig, huehue." Basically, Makarov and Zakhaev were evil for the sake of being evil. Shepherd on the other hand was quite good, and I felt slightly sympathetic for him. Black Ops' characters set a good boundary. Emotional and extremely story driven. But the biggest one came from Menendez. Not only is he my favorite villain in the series, but he's also my favorite character. Powerful, charismatic, good villain reasoning (multiple reasons which are personal rather than political). He's not some everyday terrorist. He has no interest in harming citizens. He just wants to see the US Government be taken down in revenge for his sister. It seems so insignificant to us, but it proves to be powerful.
