The Game That Broke the FPS Formula

The Birth of Modern FPS: How Call of Duty 4 Changed Everything. In this COD 4 retrospective, we look at how Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare became the blueprint for modern FPS games and changed first-person shooters forever.
2007 was an insane year for gaming with classics like Halo 3 and Wii Sports, but one game changed the FPS genre forever: Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. In this retrospective, we explore how Infinity Ward took a massive risk that shook the shooter genre to its core, leaving behind the World War II era to lay the foundation for the behemoth franchise we know today.
From the legendary “All Ghillied Up” mission to the multiplayer that defined a generation, we analyze why COD 4 is still the gold standard for first-person shooters. While modern Call of Duty might be chasing trends (and Nicki Minaj skins), this video looks back at where it all started.
