COD4, just finished the single-player campaign. I had gotten COD: World at War for free with my GPU, but I didn't like it, and didn't go very far in the game before I uninstalled. It felt bland, and like any other WW2 shooter.
However, COD4's campaign was amazing. As you may know, you play as either a marine, or a british SAS soldier, in a middle-est conflict in an unnamed middle-eastern country, trying to catch a terrorist leader before he can set off an atomic bomb.
Fine, the story isn't very compelling, or new, but the game does a few things to make it more interesting, which I don't wanna spoil.
Some cool missions were: the one where you're in the airplane, shooting some badass weapons while circling above a battlefield at night. It feels really cool, and looks just like you'd expect it to look.
The other really cool mission puts you in the perspective of your CO, when he was younger, in the Chernobyl incident. He was training as a sniper, with his own CO/partner, wearing heavy camouflage, and sneaking around this Easter European town, sniping stealthily, and avoiding contact with enemies at short range. Feels kind of like the movie Enemy at the Gates.

EDIT: Did I mention that upon finishing the game, one unlocks "Arcade mode," which allows for choosing any mission at any difficulty and challenging your best score/time, etc?
This feature also helped me realize that I was wrong about that sniper mission. It actually took place several years after the Chernobyl incident, to attempt to prevent a terrorist from obtaining nuclear material in the area.

It had been a while since a realistic war FPS pleased me. This one hit all the right buttons.
