Every Call of Duty Campaign Ranked! (w/ Modern Warfare III)

[@czcue71]

I love how everyone just completely forgets about Call of Duty World at War, literally the MOST gruesome CoD even still to date. Makes me sad that people just completely overlook this game, not only was the campaign great but the multiplayer was fanstastic… not to mention WaW was the first CoD to introduce zombies, and in the most amazing way too.

[@tommy_swim243]

It would’ve been an absolute treat to get remastered campaigns of world at war, black ops 1, and black ops 2 as build ups for the release of cod 2025 seeing as Treyarch is releasing their title that year

I just knew Black Ops 2 karma was going to be your favorite mission 🤣

[@dalberttran8134]

I heavily disagree with the placement of MWII( the new one) because the plot was very weak it's just revolves around stop 3 missiles, the main villian Hassan is super forgettable and the twist makes no sense and is super predictable if you played the OG Mw2. Don't get me wrong MwII has some good spots like Alejandro Vargas is a great character and the actor who played him is just perfect, Soap and Ghost are really fun and well developed characters and Missions like El Sin Nombre or Alone are great. Other then that I think MW2019 is just better the tone was a lot more serious which I think is fitting, the characters like Gaz and Price are super engaging, Alex and Farah are a welcome addition to the cast, although the main villian Barkov is super weak like Hassan, and Hadir's villain arc story just abruptly ended. But Missions like Clean House, Wolf Den or Going Dark are just perfection in terms of how intense it is and the enemies ain't just mindlessly rushing you they hide in closets or underneath a bed. For me I would've placed MWII at number 13 Cod WW2 at number 12 and Mw2019 at number 10

[@ashhabimran239]

WAW so low is criminal, literally so far ahead of its time. the campaign is top 3 without a doubt.

[@all-caps3927]

there is absolutely doubt about that statement, better than MW2? BO1? BO2? COD4? MW3? Cold War? No way, I think it's better in hindsight because of how it links to BO1 with Reznov. Its personally number 7 for me

[@jdsaso]

@@all-caps3927 Yeah i understand why you would have it low but we need to compare these for the time they were released, the eerie feeling playing that game was a first of its generation and was never recreated. I played 100+ hours of Cod4 right through to todays games and it's top 3 for sure.

[@all-caps3927]

@@jdsaso fair enough, I wasn't old enough to play the game in its prime I was still pretty young when it came out. For me the story is solid and imo it does the best job of all the WW2 campaigns of showing the horror of war and that's really where I give it loads of points - that eerie feeling as you said is defining for that game and that era. For me the story just isn't as strong as the others and the gameplay was weaker than COD4 which game only a year prior imo. It is definitely up there though, just not alllll the way up there. How do you think it compares to WW2?

[@jdsaso]

@@all-caps3927 I actually like WW2 as well just not as much as WAW. COD 4 is iconic that's fair enough. The run from COD4 to Black Ops 2 is unmatched. I wouldn't argue with anyone if they had any of those in-between and those two as the best COD of all time. For me personally though it would be; 1. WAW 2. MW2 3 BO1 4 COD4 5 MW3 6 BO2 but these 6 are so far ahead of the others IMO.

[@AkagiRedSun]

[@almightysamwhich4203]

@kevinpowers3907 dude the original mw3 campaign was so good. Maybe not the best but really good. You had the battle over new York, the mission in London where you had to stop the attack, the train bit of that mission, the mission where you protect the Russian president when the plane is hijacked, soaps death and that mission was beautifully done. Yuris backstory and that twist. Taking down makarov in that body armour with price and seeing the satisfying conclusion to the trilogy? Have you even played it? It's amazing. It's far better than any of the new modern warfare games especially mw3 2023. The whole idea of world war 3 was amazing. It was a sequel to modern warfare 2 of course it's gonna be similar and that's not a bad thing mw2 was great aswell

Glad to see you dropped MWII on this list. I think that campaign was so overrated and was my biggest issue with your last list. I pretty much agree with your entire ranking now.

MW1 2018 was very realistic in the shooting side of the war, it deserves the recognition. The mission in which you infiltrate houses to take down the hostiles without killing civilians, and the mission where you play as a kid in the middle west were amazing. But the actual plot of the war is total horseshit. If you know a thing or two about international politics and war, you will notice that the war in this game tries to be "real world relatable" but fails so hard that i could say that i relate more with the wars in Ghosts or Advanced Warfare. They where trying to make a international conflict in which "no country is the enemy", so they came up with all this bullshit. And the worst is, that if you think about it, in the classic MW1, 2 and 3, there were never a "bad country" in the war, just some evil minds controlling the countries, and the story is great.

@Jasmine-Graves fair enough. And i agree with your statement. We all have different views, opinions. The reason to me bo3 is higher, yes even though the characters were boring/lifeless and story confusing as hell to which we have to do our own research, the silver lining to it is the campaign arguably has the best and most interesting premise. It exemplifies creative writing, the ideas and concept are brilliant, yes the vague presentation makes it incomprehensible for average players. Regardless it also to me had a hidden message which they couldve went for instead however it had potential to explore ideas how far technology will take us before we become disconnected from reality, which is what the DNI was designed for

[@David-A.]

@Jasmine-Graves also i see your point on vanguard. However world at war and ww2 show respect. World at war had more serious tone and arguable the most Dark COD campaign, it was authentic. Even though ww2 was more upbeat the story had this feel of brotherhood which i personally liked, and the characters were interesting with great personality
