That Call of Duty game was a jaggernaut. It did everything right out of the box. Probably the only time for me when I played both campaign and multiplayer at launch as intended and loved both.

BOTW I've yet to play. Probably later this year.

Call of Duty is just a hollow gaming experience. There is nothing inspiring or captivating about multiple developers pumping out 'the next CoD' so I'll never vote for a game in that franchise. Breath of the Wild, however, was clearly a work of love by a talented development team that is able to do more with mediocre Nintendo hardware than most. Easy win for Zelda.

This criticism is just unfair. Modern Warfare 2 wasn't a part of the conveyor yet. Infinity Ward were super ambitious, inventive, went crazier and crazier every game until Activision pushed them out to start Respawn. MW2 is peak Call of Duty.

I retroactively hate all Call of Duty games because of the conveyor belt. Is it unfair? Sure, but life is unfair.
 
Just another CoD. I don't remember anything special about it.

Breath of the Wild was such a relief after years of disappointing trends in open-world design. It is still one of the best pick-up-and-play sandboxes. Tears of the Kingdom sucks in comparison.

I enjoyed MW2. Fun campaign and fun multi. But come on, BOTW was a revelation. The way it married complex systems is something that makes most other games feel lacking. And the way that the environment was both your companion and nemesis was refreshing. Early on when your stats are low, a simple river will be uncrossable and force you a different way.

I put in well over 200hrs in BOTW. Never ran out of things to do or places to explore.

I remember the hype around MW2 from just stupid little details like being able to shoot down UAVs. It has the best selection of maps ever put in a COD game, everything from the killstreaks, perks and weapons were top tier. Even with stupid shit like Commando Pro being broken and being able to knife lunge across whole maps was great, broken, but created a lot of memories.

The kids would not survive those lobbies now. People were absolute savages and it was glorious.

It also has a tremendous campaign and the king of kings Spec Ops mode which was absolutely god tier with a friend.

It is the generational defining title for FPS games in the late 2000s and turned COD into the mega-franchise it is today. IW at their peak.



But, uh, Zelda basically set up the Switch to be a juggernaut and is a ridiculous game that encourages exploration and adventure at every turn. So, I am probably voting for that. I don't think MW2 and some of its bullshit would have aged as well as I would like to believe, stuff like Last Stand and Martydom, the TTK, the P2P networking...

I thought BOTW was overrated with how boring the mission objectives were. The emergent aspects didn't add that much to the gameplay. So Modern Warfare 2 for me.

Tears of the Kingdom did a good job fixing BOTW's issues, though, and that was nice since I was worried with all the acclaim BOTW got that the sequel would just get lazy. I certainly thought that way with the Dishonored franchise, where Dishonored 1 was decent enough but had very simplistic stealth mechanics that needed fleshing out, but due to the sheer critical acclaim, Arkane never bothered improving that for any of the sequels.

MW2 while not my favorite in the series the multiplayer was a good time. I didn't care for BOTW
 
Call of Duty is shit, regardless if this was the best entry. Regenerative health is the dumbest addition to game design ever and for people with down syndrome.

Modern Warfare 2 has a cool Scottish guy saving his cool British friend by throwing a knife into the eye of a totally uncool rogue American.

Also, the battle of Washington D.C. was really cool and memorable (Of Their Own Accord, Second Sun, and Whiskey Hotel).

In Breath of the Wild, all of your stuff breaks and you'd rather be playing Ocarina of Time.

CoD MW2 definitely had more of a cultural impact, but I honestly didn't even like it much at the time even compared to CoD4.

I'm going with BoTW.
 
I don't vote for online games, but CoD's campaign's back when IW made them were pretty good. Unfortunately, MW2's campaign was schlocky and attention seeking and a decided step back from MW1. Some of the shit in the game was just edgy half the time and cringey the rest. The beginning of the end of the franchise for me.

Breath of the Wild, easy.

Loved MW, hated MW2 . No Russian is just a terrible mission from the premise alone. The plot as such hangs entirely on the idea that the antagonist could shoot up an entire airport knowing that not only would he and his crew manage to get away without a scratch despite several firefights, but also be able to leave the airport safely and have you carry the bag for it. It's just so incredibly dumb and frankly patronizing to anyone playing it on every level. I saw out the rest of the game, but I've never bought a CoD game since.

Those tajiks three months ago did the same and were captured hours later after traveling 300km. They almost escaped.

Anyhow nothing about storytelling in MW games is more embarrassing than an average MGS game.
