In 2003, Activision released the first edition of its popular first-person shooter video game franchise, Call of Duty. The game showcased several perspectives around the second World War in Britain, America, and the Soviet Union. A resounding success of the game resulted Call of Duty games centering around the Cold War, futuristic worlds, and even outer space.

Activision, Treyarch or Infinity Ward release a new Call of Duty game every year. As a result, players have a wide range of options in choosing their favorite game in the series. Certain titles like Modern Warfare 2, Black Ops, and WW2 have been more popular than others, and fans leave no opportunity to compare them.

TimTheTatman is a Call of Duty fanatic himself. In a recent tweet, the Twitch streamer claimed that Modern Warfare 2 was the best CoD game ever.

Modern Warfare 2’s single player comprised several story settings, and some of its missions are arguably the most entertaining in the entire series. Moreover, the best tiny map of all time, Rust, was also introduced in the game.

However, the absence of a Russian campaign was a major problem for many players. Critics of the game also highlight the Tactical Nuke killstreak, and its negative impact on the meta.
