Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare added a new progression system that was an instant hit. Killing enemies and winning to gain experience and level up was an addicting cycle that gave players a sense of purpose outside of netting the most kills. This system was so effective that nearly every multiplayer shooter released in recent years has adopted it.

Even the series’ main competitor, Battlefield, has gone the route of the level progression system. While franchises like Halo resisted it for some time, even they later succumbed and began ripping off Call of Duty as well. What began as a remarkable new idea from Call of Duty quickly became cliché and boring due to its overwhelming popularity and success.
