Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2007) – All Ghillied Up
Most missions glamourize explosions and flashy firefights, but “All Ghillied Up” emphasizes stealth. Despite a linear level design, this mission still plays open-ended.
The mission takes unexpected turns and keeps players feeling twitchy throughout. Not to mention, the entire mission plays in the dark with night vision goggles.
“Kick the Hornet's Nest” capitalizes on the fire physics of this game. The level involves attacking a pirate outpost and burning their weed farms with a flamethrower.
The plane tears apart as players engage in melee and firefights. Every moment of this mission has you on the edge of your seat until the end as the plane crashes.
