Poll: Which Call of Duty is best?

MW2 was my favorite all-around, I didn't care for Spec Ops but the story was pretty good and the online is amazing
CoD4 gets an honorable mention because I liked the ending more, MW2's ending seems like a repeat of the first which sort of made me angry
I really like WaW too, but I haven't purchased it so I can't comment. I didn't care for the pre-CoD4 games

Call of Duty 4.
Modern Warfare 2 could've topped that easily, but IN MY OPINION, the customization/unlock system is rather flawed and the single player is INCREDIBLY short, lacking substance in exchange for flashy looks. Also, as a PC gamer, the removal of dedicated servers and mod support was a rather big disappointment, since certain aspects of multiplayer that are deemed "frustrating" could've been removed through mods.
COD4 was simply better in my opinion, the campaign was better, it had substance but it wasn't as flashy. The multiplayer was also better (PC wise), where you had more control of what you wanted in the gameplay instead of pure random stuff being shoved down your throat and there were mods to extend the life span of the game itself.

Well, I really enjoyed WaW - the single player campaign was very well done, and the multiplayer was a blast; to be perfectly honest though, I've barely played any of the other CoD's besides WaW, so I lack the ability to give a truly objective opinion on the matter.
The original call of duty is almost 7 years old and still has a strong playerbase (even in Australia, land of the empty servers). If in 5+ years MW2 is doing as well (which would amaze me) I'll accept it as comparable to the original. Right now it's simply the newest one, most players will drop it and move on when the next big thing comes, for a game to be truly great it must outlast the appeal of it being new and shiny.Simalacrum said:
OT, Call of duty 2 got me into the series (friends played in clans and got me into it), however I probably had more fun with the original. The health regen mechanic just pisses me off sooo much, and because I played the original long after the buzz, there were far more skillful players (but not so many 'pro' doucebags, as they all moved on to the sequals) who were willing to help me learn various strategys. I guess my point is it had a strong community, great game.
MW2, just for the multiplayer... And I'm very surprised some people voted for COD3, that was a terrible game.
I didn't play the others online but in terms of online experience:
CoD4 > WaW > MW2
In terms of balance, CoD2 was probably the best online. I only ever played it split-screen though, I had a dial-up internet connection back then so I couldn't play online.
