This one

This is the only acceptable answer.

 

[YuLY]

1.MW2 (2009)
2.Blops 1
3.Infinite Warfare
4.MW1 (2007)
5.World At War
6.Blops Cold War
7.Blops 2
8.MW3 (2011)
9.CoD 2 (2005)
10.Blops 3 (this one is a bit underrated as many dont get the story/twist since they didnt pay attention to it, but it is a bit mindblowing)

rest are ok for playing from time to time, I actually enjoy them all, except the atrocity called Vanguard.

 

[IAmRei]

for me, are COD 2, 3, world at war, BO1... i dont play COD after that

 

[The ninja farmer]

Cod 4 and the rest of that trilogy.

Like the best action movie I ever played . Total craziness but over the 3 games it was like Michael bay and an almost unlimited budget of mayhem

Also liked blops for the campaign. Genuinely right up there. I didn’t gel with the sequel, so it kinda halts for me on the cod campaigns

I thought that the first two mw remake campaigns weren’t bad, if very toned down to the originals

The less said about mw3 the better (remake).

Not a huge fan of ww2 games. So don’t really play those

 

[Morrie’s wig shop]

It’s simple, Call of Duty 2.
For those that disagree, you just weren’t old enough at the time.

 

[FinalBossWithTheMostPower]

COD: MW4 and then MW2.

The concept behind "No Russian" was brilliant and has stuck with me to this day.

Both games were like playing mission impossible flicks x Michael Bay movies.

Peak COD. The good times.

 

[Kiya's Guard]

I honestly like most of them, they are king in the popcorn cinematic mainstream experience.
Among my favourites are Infinite Warfare, the new MW2 and the kremlin scene in BOCW.
Yet to play vanguard, once it gets cheap enough

 

[GudOlRub]

COD1 + UO and COD2 are peak Call of Duty.
Remember when you could just play as a rando soldier in the middle of the most famous battles from WW2?
Just give me that again, or remake COD1 and 2 or whatever, just provide me with the same experience, no shitty shoehorned stories like WW2 or Vanguard and I'll happily pay them 70$ just to play through a 5 hour campaign...

 

[BigLee74]

I’ve pretty much enjoyed them all except BLACK OPS 3 which is just rubbish to play.

Having said that, I have not been a fan of the recent MW2 & 3 campaigns either. I don’t play games like these to crawl past guards as a kid. Nonsense stuff.

 

[AJUMP23]

All Gullied up.

 

[Neolombax]

Havent really enjoyed the more modern COD campaigns. The last one that I felt was really worth the time was Infinite Warfare. The new MW campaign was kinda dull, the sequels were worse.

 

[Drew1440]

For me it's the original Modern Warfare trilogy, followed by the Original Black ops and Advanced Warfare. Weakest are the sixth generation spin offs, I didn't think much of Big Red One.

Ghosts and Infinite Warfare are underrated, not sure why they had such negative reception.

 

[winjer]

Call of duty 4: Modern Warfare

 

[SHA]

1-Treyarch "opinion"
2-Infinity Ward
3-Sledgehammer.

 

[wvnative]

Genuinely one of my all time favorite trailers.

 

[Nvzman]

In my opinion, Black Ops 2, Black Ops, and CoD4 are easily the best campaigns of the series.
Black Ops 2's especially was super underrated, its one of the only "your choices matter" games I've played where your decisions actually do affect certain missions and the ending.
I do also like MW2019 and Cold War's campaigns a lot.

 

[Bond007]

OG Modern Warfare for me. I was in awe.
The ones prior were pretty great. But going modern and i believe the first mission was at sea- was just amazing.

 

[Grildon Tundy]

Infinite Warfare & Modern Warfare (2007 and/the remaster that was paired with Infinite Warfare).

Infinite Warfare is so good. If it weren't a Call of Duty game, I think it would've been better received. The internet had too many expectations of what a COD game "should be."

 

[Dr. Samuel Hayden]

COD4 - Black Ops 2 were the golden age of COD campaigns

 

[scarlet0pimp]

Personally I think MW1 & 2, w@w bo1 & 2 mw19 and aw were all really good

 

[FunkMiller]

Modern Warfare (the original, not the lazy rehash) is always at the top of lists of the best CoD games/campaigns. There's a good reason for that.

 

[raduque]

Infinite Warfare is the best campaign in the series so far. Black Ops3 is coming close.

COD4:MW

Although it was mediocre at best. Who cares about COD campaigns anyway?

I only play CoD campaigns. Multiplayer is garbage.

 

[Tarnpanzer]

World at War or Black Ops 1 because of Reznov

 

[xVodevil]

First CoD
Petty sick to think it is almost 21 years old... Though most all of them are fun, only disappointment is the extreme price for even decades old games on sale..

 

[tusharngf]

cod2 , cod4 , cod black ops and Infinite warfare

 

[Holammer]

Since we're talking about story, I'll go with World at War, the Pacific bits in particular. There's a moment etched in my brain where a J-word eats a grenade and both his feet are blown off. In my minds eye I can see them tear off, it was freakin' awesome and it's the opposite of PTSD. For a moment I was there, if they don't stink, stick 'em.

Black 2 had a very silly campaign, but it was well executed with the branching paths so I replayed it a few times.

 

[Edmund]

Black Ops 2
Call of Duty 4

 

[Dacvak]

Just to follow up on this thread, I finally played a CoD game. MWIII since it’s on game pass. The story and characters were kind of dumb, but I LOVED the gameplay. The guns were very satisfying, and the more linear set piece levels were really mindless and enjoyable. Took me maybe 5 hours to beat, which was perfect over the course of 3 or so days.

I’m definitely excited to play more of those campaigns. I don’t care even a little about the multiplayer, though, so I’ll probably just wait for them to hit Game Pass.

 

[Dazraell]

Out of ones I've played my favorite campaigns were CoD2, CoD4: Modern Warfare, Infinite Warfare, Black Ops and Cold War
