Ranking Every COD Game (Worst to Best)

Ranking Every COD Game (Worst to Best) Since its launch in 2004, Call of Duty has been a massively successful franchise, releasing a new game annually. Fans' opinions on which installment is the best are as diverse as their opinions on how prolific the series is. I had originally intended to make a "Top 10 Best COD Games" video, but I've made the decision to just go right into it and rank every single Call of Duty game, taking everything into account. Just to be clear, though, I will only be taking into account games released after 2007 because that is when COD4 made its debut and created the current Call of Duty formula. Since the pre-COD4 and post-COD4 titles pursued different goals, which is entirely legitimate, comparing them would be unfair. Still, there are a good seventeen mainline COD games left for us to assess. So, since this will be a long journey, grab a snack. Remember to hit the subscribe button, like the video, and let's discuss this ranking.

Infinite warfare’s campaign made me cry. Great story

[@seangarrett451]

Map design I do agree with you Jimmy that it was not stellar in MW19. Heck, even the devs made a playlist for the game titled “I swear it’s not Piccadilly”. But where the game shined was the weapon balancing (at the end of the game’s life cycle, not the beginning) and the weapon variety. I think MW19 is the best COD game since Black Ops and Black Ops 2 when it comes to having a variety of iconic weapons. The M4, the Grau, the Kilo, the M13, the MP5, the Kar98, the HDR, the list goes on and on. Even in Warzone when Vanguard became the main title, everybody was shifting back to the MW guns because they were the backbone to Warzone becoming the most popular BR from 2020-22. Bash the game all you want, but there is no denying it had a sexy class of weapons.

MW2019 was great until they shifted the entire focus to warzone and then the series went downhill.

I tried to play it just now the multiplayer, and I cannot stand the negative ads speed, negative sprint to fire speed, and shooting move speed, and aim walking speed. The gunsmith is one of main things that ruined cods fun for me. Cold War is a good game held back by that for me. The zombies was good tho, but no story, and no classic zombies feel is what also holds it back as well. I put it over the new MW games tho.

Nothing, I mean nothing, will ever come close to the aura of MW2 multiplayer - Perfect balance of customization with the killstreaks and perks with pro-level, Every category of gun had great options, the maps were incredible, quickscoping, and the lobbies...
