With the benefit of hindsight, I don't see how anybody can vote for anything other than Call of Duty. In many respects, it is the biggest franchise in gaming. This is the game that started it all.

Because we're voting on the best game of the year, not the one that went on to be the biggest franchise.

As someone who played the original back before it became the a megaton IP, the 2003 game itself just isn't that great.

Who said we're voting on the best game of the year?  When I asked, the OP told me that we should use whatever criteria we want. Every vote I've cast was based on the significance of the game to the hobby, not which one I like the most, or I felt was the best. In some cases those are all the same thing. But, not at all of them.
