I thought that last year would be the last time I purchased a Call of Duty game. But then I sat down and tried Black Ops 3 multiplayer, and something clicked again. I didn't have to dedicate my mind to constantly thinking about mechanics, movement, or weapons. I could just play, I could rely on Modern Warfare muscle memory.

The changes extend naturally into the core of the gameplay; the new, slow jetpack jump is ancillary to the movement rather than front and center, the new character skills enhance but don't dominate games, and the handful of new grenades are simply slight tweaks on old ideas. It's a better game than past Call of Duty titles, but it's not radically different.

Playing Black Ops 3 made me realize that maybe the key to revitalizing Call of Duty isn't to dramatically change it, but rather to jettison some of the accumulated elements that weigh it down. That's what Black Ops 3 does. There aren't an overwhelming amount of different perks or attachments, but rather the exact ones that you want and expect to be there. All of the weapons fit into the Call of Duty mold.

When my demo ended, I said, "Call of Duty is back." And that's what it feels like. Black Ops 3 seems to channel the experience of old Call of Duty games. It's the first time I've ever thought that incremental changes have made a game significantly better. Its small refinements are what make Black Ops 3 so fun.

1. Destiny - 2014

Activision spent $500 million on the development and promotion of Destiny, the most expensive game ever made. Destiny cost more than most summer blockbusters!

2. Grand Theft Auto V - 2013

In Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto V, you can hijack an armored truck. The game's developers might've had to do the same, given the $265 million price tag on the open-world action game.

3. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 - 2009

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 was an incredibly successful game that cost about $50 million to develop. Add on $200 million on launch and marketing costs, you've got a quarter-mil invested.

4. Star Wars: The Old Republic - 2011

The Star Wars MMORPG was developed by more than 800 people over six years and cost $200 million.

5. Final Fantasy VII - 1997

Spending $145 million on a game made in the '90s is hard to wrap your mind around. At least the final product was one of the best RPGs of all time.

6. Shenmue II - 2001

The sequel to the original Shenmue cost $132 million.

7. Max Payne 3 - 2012

The gritty shooter from Rockstar was a $105 million expenditure for the developer. It sure was a better use of money than the movie.

8. Grand Theft Auto IV - 2008

Back in 2008, Grand Theft Auto IV was the most expensive game of all time, at $100M. Now that figure looks minuscule in comparison to other games' big budgets.

9. Too Human - 2008

The Xbox 360 exclusive cost developer Silicon Knights $100 million to make. A sequel to the expensive original is reportedly in the works.

10. Red Dead Redemption - 2010

Red Dead Redemption will go down as one of Rockstar's greatest efforts. Venturing into the wild, wild west tallied $100 million for the GTA developer.

11. Disney Infinity - 2013

Disney put more than $100 million into the Infinity franchise. Disney Infinity uses various figurines that sync with the game and allow custom, interchangeable gameplay.

12. Deadpool - 2013

Activision's High Moon Studios spent an estimated $100 million on Deadpool. Unfortunately, the game was released to less-than-stellar reviews.

13. Tomb Raider - 2013

Reboots are never cheap, but they can definitely be worth it. This fresh take on the Tomb Raider franchise revitalized the game series and was well worth the $100 million price.

14. Defiance - 2013

Defiance was born out of a convergence of television and video games. Based on SyFy's series of the same name, an MMORPG was released at a price tag of $80 million.

15. Shenmue - 1999

An extremely pricey game to make at $70 million, Shenmue took seven years to develop and sold just 1.2 million copies.

16. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots - 2008

With the amount of detail packed into Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, it's shocking that Konami was able to bring it to the masses for just $70 million.

17. Watch Dogs - 2014

Watch Dogs was long in development before its release in 2014. The open-world hacking adventure cost $68 million to make.

18. Crysis 3 - 2013

According to the Crytek CEO, the third installment in the Crysis series cost three times the original. That puts the charge at $66 million for one beautifully constructed game.

19. Final Fantasy XIII - 2009

The 2009 RPG from Square Enix cost the Japanese developer $65 million to produce.

20. Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier - 2012
