I always loved the Call of Duty series, and with the next installment coming out, Black Ops, I remembered what series made me love FPSers.
NOTE: I'm not covering the stand alone expansions, as they were quite similar to the original counter-part anyways.
Intro: Now although the first video-games I played were freeware versions of games like Diablo, Quake, and Hexan, the first game that got me into the console gaming was one series named Call of Duty. This series I've loved from the first, to the most recent game, beating every single one (hold CoD 1, I lost my disc before beating it). And with the great series from Activision, created by TreyArch, and Infinity Ward I would like to comemorate these great games.
Call of Duty 1: The beginning to a great series... Although I don't remember much these game started the series in WWII, fighintg against the Germans for the most part. This game was a great start, but had quite a few faults at start.
Call of Duty 2: This is the game that truly got me into this series, although the clunky online, the repitive battles, and numerous bugs, the unique maps, and historical value was great even if it was a complete work of fiction. These game had the widest aray of maps out of the first 3 (IMO), from places all through out WWII, my favorite, was of course, Normandy Beach
Call of Duty 3: Although probably my least favorite in the series, but still I liked it. The online was downright unplayable, the battles got quite annoying, and had no major difference from the second game. I don't mean to bash this game so bad, but this made me feel that CoD was not gonna make it far into next-gen consoles. But of course I was wrong.
Call of Duty 4; Modern Warfare: The great revolution Infinity Ward made with this game, taking a strictly WWII game, and putting it 60 years in the future. I was awstruck by this game, the online was amazing, the single player campaign was phenomenal! This great game brought us what the next-gen gamers needed for this series, hope.
Call of Duty (5) World at War: TreyArch getting their hands back on to the game went back to the WWII era, but now the fights were more toward Japanese, and less German. This game also brought the great Modern Warfare style online play to WWII, and many found this game great. But the best change from these game was Nazi Zombies (IMO).
Call of duty (6) Modern Warfare 2: This was Infinity Ward's next installment, and although bringing initial awe, the game came to disappoint many. This game was the most unpolished of all (IMO), at least the online play... This game had many people complain, but still was a great game, I feel this was one amazing game, but due to the excessive lawsuits with Activision, Infinity Ward couldn't polish it after release.
Call of Duty (7) Black Ops: The upcoming game in the series, they promise fixes to old isssues, brining back old things people loved, and changing what needs to be changed. It's still of course unaware of how well they have done this, but the fans are hoping for the best.
Sorry if this post seems to be a waste of space, but I just wanted to talk about my second favorite game series yet.

Will be changed at some point, I'm too lazy right now.
Call of Duty 3 was absolutely terrible and I'm still lamenting the fact that I even rented it. I don't know how they failed after such an awesome CoD2. Ah well, they made up for it at least and I agree with you on everything.

Well they failed cuz Treyarch made that one. Infinity Ward makes the real CoDs (1,2,4,6), and Treyarch makes the shitty ones/the knockoffs (3,5). CoD 3, as you said, was shit, and 5 was just MW1 set in WW2. So hopefully they make a good one with CoD 7, seeing as Infinity Ward isn't making games with Activision anymore, so the CoD franchise could die if Treyarch doesn't do well.

Yeah, but now you gotta think on TreyArch's side, they did make the engine for MW2, and they listen to the community ALOT more now. 3, yes was awful, but 5 was decent, and they listened to the community even after release, lets hope the pattern stays, and CoD 7 is as amazing as we hope.
So far it seems they are stopping alot of things that were dumb in MW2... (E.g. Overpowered quickscopers, overpowered newbtubes, the one overpowered SMG that seems to always make its way into CoD games...)

Ehh I don't like TreyArch, I disliked CoD3 and loathed WaW and probably won't get Black Ops. I will mourn for the loss of Infinity Ward and the loss of Modern Warfare 3.

Well, as I am a majorly Infinity Ward, CoD player, I will tell you how it is. It seems like they will make a nice game, just look at it they're stealing all the ideas from Infinity Ward, it can't be that bad XD.
