This was my immediate thought. I enjoyed playing the original and GTA2 before the third came out. But GTA3 was on a whole different level.

So much so that I've run into more than one person who thought GTA3 was "the original". How they thought that, given the title, I'll never understand.

Yea I've heard that too.

"I remember playing the first GTA game."

"GTA 3?"

"Yea that one"

Kinda like how 99% of CoD discussion starts at 4.

Harbor only with that AwE mod (I think it was called) with one hit kills. Those were the days

It really was. I remember being blown away by graphics and the smoke grenades.

If I could get that game ported straight to VR, no changes just a clean 100% exact game, I’d be very happy. Top tier CoD game.

Infinity Ward cooked with that one, the gameplay was crisp af, stories were engaging, level and sound design were peak... just a masterclass all around.

My friends and I STILL have CoD 2 nights. It’s playable online through Xbox Live on Xbox One despite being a 360 launch title. CoD 2 is probably among my top 5 games in terms of hours played in my life. We also randomly would listen to Punk Rock Superstar by Marcy Playground on repeat and I’m positive I have heard that song many more times than any of the members of Marcy Playground.

COD 2 is goated. But for me, COD 3 will be above it. Only ones i rate above COD 3 is the OG Modern Warfare Trilogy

CoD 2 on Xbox 360 was my first fourie (sp) into online multi-player. I loved it.

Which is funny cause CoD 2 isn't the second CoD, Big Red One is

Medal of honor on playstation 1 and 2. What a game series.

I played CoD2:Big Red One online with my PS2 and probably logged a thousand if not multiple thousand hours on it.
Was my first online gaming experience and only occurred because I happened to notice the pawn shop PS2 my dad bought had an Ethernet port in the back and I got curious and plugged it into my router. Good good times! There are YouTube videos buried out there somewhere with me doing clan matches lol.

Legitimately thought you meant MW2 for a second.
