Pretty much everyone remembers the release of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.
Even if you didn't play it, many of your friends probably did, and although GoldenEye 64 and Halo had popularized console shooters far before it, it really brought things into a new era during a more reliable period of online gaming alongside of Gears of War.
Killstreaks, perks, almost everything you know and love (or loathe) in modern shooters, it's all derived from Modern Warfare, for better or worse. And if you haven't experienced it yet, Modern Warfare Remastered is a good way to do it.
