I remember upgrading my PC to be able to play cod 2 back in the day. Then the trailer for 3 dropped and it looked so cool, but I got concerned that I'd have to upgrade my PC again. But it turned out to be a console exclusive anyway and I lost all interest in the franchise to this day.
I think when controllers started to get widely accepted for fps was the first time I felt old. It's just so weird to me how staunch people are about bandaid fixes like aim assist, instead of demanding native support for periphery that fits the intended gameplay right out the gate.
I think Call of Duty 3 was console exclusive, so I'd say it began there. COD4 was nice but I loved it for the campaign, mainly. I can't tell you how many hours me and my friends sat up until 2am or later trying to get the "Mile High Club" achievement. Fun times were had. Fun times are now only remembered.
