User blog comment:Damac1214/Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare named 2nd best FPS of all time by Gametrailers/@comment-173.18.222.105-20121206090225

Makes sense, most people who do research on games know that Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare was huge because not only was it a great game, but it caused a chain reaction of Call of Duty becoming a billion dollar franchise and competing game franchises trying to seek the level of sucess and perfection the game was able to achieve. The level of influence Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare had on not only the first person shooter genre but online gaming and gaming in general is highly significant, and history will remember it. Of course, GoldenEye 007 did many of the same things during its time, and in a way is the reason a game like Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare was able to exist in the first place.

Of course, it's easy to be subjective and try to bring personal feelings like nostalgia into factoring the "best" of anything, but it's important to value a product for what it did, what it offered when it was released, and how it was received.
