I have to agree with you 100% there, You actually had to be GOOD at Call of Duty 4 to be good at it. You didn't rely on Kill/Scorestreaks or crappy hit detection, It was an unbroken game until they stopped caring about it. After Call of Duty 4 the whole "Let's change things for everyone so that everyone can do good and be on a level playing field" began which was more like.... "Let's mess with the game as much as possible because we are sick of people whining about doing bad against good people"
