MW2> COD4 >Black Ops 2 > Modern Warfare 3 > Black Ops 1 > World at War.
I attribute fun factor. I think Modern Warfare 3 is the second worst COD in terms of so much bs in the game. However, In Black Ops 1 the game was not very casual friendly, had okay killstreaks, not a whole lot of BS(besides 2nd Chance), sniping was decent and the maps were cool....Yet the game was still sort of boring and not really action packed. I hated Support streaks in MW3 probably more than anything I have ever hated in any COD game but I still had more fun in MW3 than in BO1. That being said Black Ops 2 is superior to MW3 to me although I liked MW3's Assault Rifles and SMGs more.

CoD4 ain't that special to me. It's not like since that was the "first" CoD, it's the best and ultimate one. Mw2 beats Mw hands down.
I wouldn't say hands down but I do think MW2 was a more fun game. "Better" is a relative term to me. Hell having a phone with a physical keyboard is better to me but I still won't return to those type of phones after having touchscreen. Simpler sometimes is just that, simpler not necessarily better or worse. COD4 was a simpler game with a lot less people, and a lot less money whoring.
It's almost like those that say Nintendo 64, Playstation 2 or even Sega Genesis is the greatest system of all time. People love retro and nostalgia. They equate believing less frustrated and/or better at something older with the game being better. It's a fair argument to call COD4 the best but I just question some people's purposes of doing so. It's like that old person telling you, "back in my day music was REAL music".
