You can cheat on a console game?
Is the first one really outdated or would it still be a lot of fun?
Before I get into this, keep in mind that I don't particularly like
Call of Duty. I have only played
CoD4 to completion, a few levels' worth of
Black Ops, and maybe 15 minutes of multiplayer for one of the games during a Steam free weekend. So I'm not super familiar with things.
I assume the theoretical cheating would be via modded consoles, and/or using exploits that won't get patched out, because the game came out years ago and Activision isn't Valve. But I don't play online, so I don't really know specifics.
The first
Call of Duty was a WWII shooter for PC, and I think it got some console ports. It was re-released as
Call of Duty Classic to go along with the
Modern Warfare 2 release, and is $15 on XBLA/PSN now.
CoD 2 was an early Xbox 360 release (also PC), and at the time, was thought to be pretty excellent.
CoD3 was Treyarch's first shot at development, and I think most people consider it one of the weaker titles.
CoD4 was the first "modern" game, and is when the series really started to take off.
World at War went back to Treyarch, and WWII, and I think its main draws were being pretty brutal with its violence, and the series' first zombie mode.
Modern Warfare 2 was supposedly pretty good, and was the last release from the original Infinity Ward team, before the company's founders were fired by Activision.
Black Ops I think is set in the '60s, and I think is where Treyarch really gained their footing and put out a title arguably as good as the Infinity Ward titles.
Modern Warfare 3 I think was largely considered more of the same.
