Fall 2007 was gaming's greatest season, featuring landmark releases like BioShock, Halo 3, The Orange Box, and Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare across multiple platforms. The concentration of critically acclaimed titles in a 3-4 month window created an unprecedented superstorm of quality games that likely will never be matched.
Activision has labeled Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 as an 'epic conclusion,' suggesting the Modern Warfare saga may be ending. Meanwhile, Treyarch indicated plans to develop something entirely new after two underperforming Black Ops games, leading speculation that both major franchises could be concluding. The game launches October 23 with actor Mads Mikkelsen as a major antagonist.
