I've never played a COD game before. (Well, that's not totally true, I played Finest Hour on the GameCube.) The main reason I've never bought one is because I don't care about the multiplayer aspect at all. However, I've heard the single player games are linear, tailored adventures with great production value, and that sounds right up my asshole.

So what would you say are some of the best COD single player campaigns? Length does not matter at all (in fact, the shorter the better, since I don't have a ton of time for gaming these days).

Bonus points if you have any hot tips on how to get the games on the cheap.

OG(not the modern ones) MW1 and MW2 and call of duty 2. You should also give Medal of Honor a chance as well specifically Pacific Assault and Airborne. Fucking amazing experiences. We dont get these kind of games anymore.

Aside from the constantly mentioned ones, both Advanced Warfare and Infinite Warfare campaign are pretty awesome. Especially Infinite Warfare, the game got too much hate at the time but the single player campaign is stellar.

COD4: Modern Warfare.

The campaign is up there with HL:2 and Halo:CE as one of the best FPS campaigns ever made.
 
Black Ops 1, easily number 1.
But in no particular order, the best ones are og MW trilogy, Black Ops 2, Black Ops Cold War and Infinite Warfare, The rest of the campaigns are not bad either, but I'd day those ones are some of the best ones.

I actually don't know what the constantly mentioned ones are. I usually ignore COD stuff, so if those are good, let me know what they are <3
 
MW1 (from 2007 not the reboot, and if you play this you may as well play the trilogy because it's pretty decent and the soundtrack to the second is amazing)

BO1 and WAW.

You can skip the rest.

The original Modern Warfare Trilogy, black ops 1, infinite warfare. and modern warfare 2019 are all my top, rest are just alright IMO.
 
You have to play WaW on veteran to get the OG experience too. Blowtorch and corkscrew and heart of the reich

I think all of them from PS3/360 era were great. If I had to pick one, it'd probably be BO1. People who think Infinite Warfare is one the best must of played a different game than I did. Thought it was absolute trash.
 
I loved Black Ops 1 & 2. Black Ops 3 watched on YouTube. Shooting robots was boring. The firs MW trilogy was awesome. I loved all of them. Advanced Warfighting and Ghost. Lots of peeps didn't like Ghost. I thought it was worth a playthrough.
 
Call of Duty 2, Modern Warfare 2 (2009) and Modern Warfare 3 (2011). The best shooting galleries and set pieces by far. The best US Army campaigns as well, something the newer games are missing with their constant low-intensity sandbox maps.

MW1 is a legit great SP game. The sniping mission, the fly into the middle east country, the nightime tank escort thing, the AC130, the ship opening. It's all so freaking good even replaying on the remaster. Hasn't hit like that since as they go for cheap set pieces of "WHOAAAAA BIG EXPLOSION!"
 
Infinite Warfare is what you're looking for, fren. Has characters you actually give a shit about and the graphics are still beautiful.
 
Loving all the folks mentioning Infinite Warfare. My favorite CoD campaign too and a damn good one in general across all FPS games.

Infinite Warfare is the only COD I've ever played and it was more Mass Effect than COD. The dogfighting and side mission design was great. It really didn't feel like a Duty game.
 
The one with Kevin Spacey was good I thought, I don't really know which cod is that because I suck at pointing them out when they are not numbered.
 
I'll always have a soft spot for the first game and it's expansion, amazing games.

Yeah, Infinite Warfare was quite good. Probably my favorite COD SP campaign and one of my favorite shooter campaigns period.
 
For me
CoD 4 > Mw2 > CoDMW2019 > CoD 2

Every other SP feels like a blur...I didn't even touch whatever filler SP the current MW3 has...
 
Infinite Warfare was so good it's up there as one of the best SP FPS campaigns of all time.

No other COD campaign comes close.

Also, BLOPS III deserves a special mention for both the inclusion of Ben Browder as well as the batshit insane story that spawned some awesome-ass fanfic.

Course mate. I think the consensus is that OG MW trilogy and Black Ops 1 and 2 are great campaigns. I think 2017's WWII is not too shabby either.
 
Cod4 all ghilied up level, ship level...
Black ops rooftop level, also twist ending 10/10
Mw2 favella
Cod2 crawling in the pipe

cod4 - Mw2 - mw3 back to back

Ghosts - Advanced warfare - Infinite warfare back to back

Cod2, Cod3, ww2 back to back

Waw-blops - blops2 back to back
 
Only SP campaigns I ever played are these in my preferred order:

COD4
WaW = MW2
COD2
COD3 (boring, froze a lot, and you had to do stupid RS movements to simulate rowing a boat

You got so many to chose from but out of the more modern ones, Infinite Warefare by far. I find it even better than original MW. Its the longest campaign in the franchise, first time they included sidequests and still looks amazing. Also I do like scifi/space so for me it was godsend. I never liked going back to "boots on the ground", we went from hectic muti leveld multiplayer to back to basics and the campaigns are servicable at best: WW2 boring, Vanguard...jesus christ trash, Modern - MW titles are just rehash of old and besides the first one, the other 2 felt rushed and unfinished, especially MW3 which is a complete joke.
