Wolfenstein
DooM before DooM.
No one cared. Didn't even sell a million copies. Rest of the franchise has had modest success at best.
DooM
Mainstreamed the genre. Only shooter with a major motion picture.
Only has three titles in over 20 years, 8.5 million total sold.
Counter-Strike
The first serious multi-player. Incredibly created as a mod by a couple nerds.
25 million copies moved by the franchise is less than some individual Tom Clancy titles.
Halo
It is Halo.
It is Halo.
Call of Duty
By far the best selling FPS franchise with 175m. Revolutionized genre by adding RPG elements.
CoD Modern Warfare was 2007, very late in the game to be the most important ever.
