Top Tier COD Rating: 9/10 It's story begin where MW2 ends. Hence, playing in order is non negotiable to understand the plot. All 3 games in the original Modern Warfare series are fantastic. If you want story recap, watch this for clear cut understanding. Spoilers obviously. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01Xum6xVuv4 MP seems dead, but can't confirm for western server. Just like other CODs, its another overpriced old game even on sale. Don't pay so much, game is worth your time tho ;)

Words cannot explain how freaking cool the original 2007-2011 Modern Warfare campaign is. Makes you feel like an absolute badass doing some badass work. Video games aren't supposed to be a chore, they're supposed to be a playable movie. Infinity Ward & Treyarch had it right, back then. So good.
