      Still a lot of active COD2 players on the community servers. Still a lot of fun even in 2023. You can but the game through steam.

        I liked the CoD 1 multiplayer. The maps and weapons were pretty well designed and balanced. Once you learned the layout of the maps, you could do well even when just using a standard bolt-action Mosin-Nagant or Kar 98k.

        United Offensive was pretty fun on LAN. We used to play without time limit until everyone was promoted to call in artillery. It was a good mess.

    Modern Warfare 2 and Black Ops 1 were peak COD.

    It all went downhill from there.

    After Cod4, Vince Zampella left(well, it’s more complicated than that, but we’ll keep it simple) Infinity Ward, and a bunch of the team came with him to form Respawn. Titanfall 2 is probably still the best FPS Single Player campaign since Half-Life 2, and the multiplayer was an absolute blast, but the insanely high skill cap made for a difficult entry for new players. Vince Z is now working on the battlefield series, after the complete disaster that was 2042, but I’m not sure how much of the team is still around at this point, much less how many went with him to BF.

      He left shortly after MW2 release though. If he hadn’t left earlier in the games lifespan most of the broken weapons and attachments would have been fixed in a final patch.

      It’s a good way to play the old games, but it doesn’t quite catch that feeling because it’s only played by hardcore sweaters.

    Personally, I don’t think a single thing will change.
