COD4. A game that influenced the whole genre after it. Not many games nowadays can say that.
- Popularized iron sights in FPS games
- Made rechargable health standard in shooters
- Sprinting in shooters

Disagree here. COD 4 the first one was a good game. The things you mentioned were already in other games. For example Halo 1 and 2 both made rechargable health standard. Games including COD 4 followed down Halos path with the health.
Sprinting in shooters was around in many shooters before COD4. Iron sights also.
All COD4 did is actually hve a decent War game with the first MW. It came along at the right time. When everyone was still doing WW2.
If anything all COD4 can be given for influence was they influenced modern warfare in FPS. Now they all bloody do it.

Actually. In terms of game mechanics Halo didn't do much to define the genre. It wasn't until COD4 came along that the aspects I listed above because popular, thus standard in most modern shooters.

I wasnt trying to say Halo done anything. I was saying COD certainly didnt.
Halo actually did alot more than COD.
Halo popularised only 2 weapons at a time. Breaking the norm from being able to carry 20 weapons at once in every shooter. It popularised rechargabe health, as Gears Of War, among others adopted rechargable health before COD 4. These things were popular before COD 4.
COD4 is a good modern war shooter. It popularised modern warfare in games. Thats what it did. Not the things that were already done by many before it.
