COD 4 was probably one of the best Call of Dutys made to date, there were very few annoyances which occurred in that game. (Frag x3, and some attachment glitches which raised/lowered the damage of the weapons they were being used on.)
I believe the reason that everyone was really attracted to that game was because it was the most revolutionary CoD, introducing the customizable classes, gun camos and killstreaks. They game had very few flaws, and Infinity Ward gave decent support for the game throughout its life cycle.
CoD WaW was a decent CoD, Treyarch provided pretty good support throughout the game, fixing all of the games glaring issues. The only exception was the MP40, which was VERY overpowered. When used with certain perks setups and attachments it became pretty ridiculous. In competitive play it was literally the ONLY weapon used. Aside from this, Treyarch patched many glitches which allowed players to get under the map etc. within a few weeks of the glitch appearing.
CoD MW2 was a good CoD from the start but a few months in, the game became unplayable. Starting with the care package glitch which lasted multiple months, allowing players to have unlimited care packages. This took IW way to long to patch, gametypes like domination were absoloutly infested with people doing the glitch. After that was patched, people came to realize the power of One man army noob tubes. For those of you who dont know, when someone combines One man army, danger close and a assault rifle with the grenade launcher attachment, they have a setup much more powerful than anything else in game. It gives the grenade a very large blast radius. By continually switching to the same class, it keeps refilling your tubes as well as grenades and ammo. Ground war is absoloutly filled with people using this and is undoubtedly the worst exploit in CoD history. Mw2 was 1-2 patches away from being the best CoD to date, but IW really dropped the ball.
Black ops, so far I love it. I think its my favorite CoD yet. All of the assault rifles are pretty balanced, as well as the SMG. Doesnt look like there will be another MP40 situation. (People are saying the AK74u is overpowered. However, I disagree, it is exactly what a SMG should be, good close to medium range, and bad at long.) The killstreaks are good as well. Now that they dont build upon eachother, it takes some actual skill to get dogs, instead of a predator missile, which would then lead to the rest of your killstreaks. The ability to buy your weapons and prioritize what you want is a great feature. Treyarch is doing an absoloutly fantastic job with their game so far, having done multiple patches and countless hot fixes. So many things have been adressed already, such as the footsteps, glitches with ninja and its effects while stepping on concrete, the matchmaking system, and glitches in zombies to name a few. Many exploits have been patched within days of being found. I predict this will be the best call of duty so far.
