i have w@w, mw2, bo, and mw3 and i like to go back to them all now and then. Mw2 being my first and favourite but as you said the hacking ruins it, aswell as wanting to play hardcore moshpit with dlc i have matchmaking issues. I agree on what you said about BO being fuzzy, at least for me on ps3 with HD its not as smooth as MW anyway but i do enjoy it. Still dont know why they removed the character voices in hardcore, it still annoys me a little. Im playing MW3 the most at the moment because of the elite incentive and will sure be playing them even when BO2 arrives.

blops better

I've played 6years CoD4 MW1 on PC and last half year on PS3. This game really rocks...no unrealistic/stupid killsstreak awards and so on. Last week at last I bought MW3 and in my opinion this game is total joke. Too many random deaths due to killstreaks and too many perks and attachment to weapons which makes some guns too awesome. Random deaths can be explained by not knowing maps very well yet but I can tell, I haven't seen so many campers in CoD4. In MW3 there are just too many maps with all sort of campings spots and buildings with windows wide open. Atm my KD is 1.65, but hope it will raise when I learn all maps (pretty impossible task, while every second map is Terminal:D).

CoD4 MW1 was not in the list, but in my opinion this game is da BEST.

MW2 had the best weapons IMHO, but it was hacked to pieces which made BLOPS a far  better game. MW3 has slightly better graphics, but IW has not responded to the many, many problems that kill MW3 while Treyarc has supported BLOPS to improve it. Mw3 seems to be geared for cheaters too with quickscoping, poor lag comp, and lack of support. The only reason I still play MW3 is because it is way easier to get the "PRO" stuff after you prestige.

I can't wait for BLOPS II. Even if is as bad as this(I doubt it could be) I will have an excuse to NEVER play this aweful game (MW3) again.

MW2- most revolutionary CoD game by far. Pro perks, more than just 3-5-7 killstreaks and a ton of attachments. Also the most poorly supported title. I've always said MW2 was changing of OMA/DC, MLC knifing and stopping of boosting/hacking away from being the best CoD title. Connection wasn't the issue, but rather it was flawed in game mechanics

Black Ops- the major ground breaking flaw was poor porting (terrible frame rate on PS3) and terrible matchmaking. Guns were a bit boring. The Famas/AUG were the same gun and so was the AK/Commando/Galil. On top of that second chance was a broken perk with the invulnerability when falling into second chance. Another good game, no major flaws with the actual game, but connection and how the game ran took a step back from MW2.

MW3- support and death streaks are the major in game flaws. Again the major issue with MW3 is matchmaking. I don't say lag or lag comp because those are simply side effects of poor matchmaking. Like black ops, a ton of potential for an amazing game ruined by subpar matchmaking

All 3 titles have the same thing in common. Amazing potential but one groundbreaking flaw. As far as the "best title" it's hard to judge that. That's mostly a personal opinion. Personally, I feel like black ops was the best because on top of a pretty good campaign and multiplayer, it had zombies
