5. Call of Duty
Platform(s): PC
Year: 2003
With three campaign lines for the American, British and Soviet soldiers, Infinity Ward set out to develop a game that excited players with warzone intensity and gravitas. The title was praised for its intense, horrifying experiences that immersed you into the reality of a scared solider during WWII. COD was one of the first games to place a heavy emphasis on cover system mechanics, therefore becoming a leader in the gameplay category that’s evolved overtime. Hence why it stands out as one of the most iconic FPS offerings to ever bless our HDTVs. —JR
