These are very strong evidences of my work affecting the number of players playing Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare on Steam in the entire history of the game.
In 2009 Call of Duty Frontlines was elected for the first time as The Best Call of Duty Mod of the World by the famous BashandSlash site/podcast. Then the R3L04D version came up with such brand new things that changed Call of Duty forever, like Paratroopers and more brand new Gametypes as Mission and Airborne, aside was the boom of the World Wars using the War Server. Match EXACTLY the same boom period on the graphic above.

Over 10 years later, another boom happens when Call of Duty Rio was released, even focused on the Brazilian market with only ONE server located in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
But the numbers are in fact at least 10 times more, since most of COD4 Players have the DVD version, and Steam can't track these players.
That's why they are keeping hiring people who copy my work since 2008. I still can't understand why not hire me instead. 😊
