world at war is a really great campaign. I find the enemies were just so smart and used actual war tactics, the newer bots just seem so dumb in comparison. and the atmosphere is just dark and intense, really puts you in WW2
WAW actually pushed you as a player with intelligent battle tactics, like endless grenade spam and getting one-shotted by a stampede of Bonsai troopers.
AW had a solid campaign and IW had an amazing campaign. I feel like people were voting on MP or misinterpreted the votes, why IW is so low on the list.
@@Silentguy_It felt like the most realistic cod to date which is ironic because it’s in space but you actually feel like a regular soldier fighting in battles that can get you killed every time.
AW was a phenomenal Campaign. Very well polished! Voice acting and movement was flawless and the cut scenes looked league's better than later CODs. I've been playing and streaming all COD campaigns in the order of release back to back on twitch so it's east to compare without going off memory and AW definitely stands out as a polished campaign that focused on quality.
Regardless of what is best, the campaigns from MW1-3 and WAW/ BO1 and 2 are classic. I love going back and playing through them every now and then. Awesome channel btw
Pretty much what you listed is the best call of Duty campaigns. Everyone has opinions. But bo2 I felt like was ok. A decent campaign and zombies. But it's multiplayer was LIT
Infinite Warfare was literally just Mass Effect without aliens and your own decision making with a lot of stuff that would make you think it was a prequel to Halo
Cold war campaign just feels like if bo1/2 got an add on dlc for their campaigns but with more stuff to unlock and with PLENTY of replay value in achievements and calling cards and I was SO MF for it when cold war came out. Cold war is a significantly better cod game than anyone seems to let on about.
black ops 1 is and will always be the greatest cod game in terms of campaign but even multiplayer zombies etc, i have so many hours on that game so maybe it’s biasty but personally i think the campaign is just an absolute masterpiece, created an unpredictable plot where you play as these crazy likeable characters, it’s even one of my favourite games all of time which is in question with only a couple.
I personally disagree, i think multiplayer and zombies wise bo1/2 rise way above the mw games but the original 3 mws had unmatchable campaigns imo. I would still agree bo1/2 are the best cods of all time but just looking at campaign on its own id give it to the mws.
@@eardestroyer6593gotta disagree the amount of Easter eggs and details are what made BO 1 the best imo the whole number break down and how they could actually be translated to actual sentences from JFK book and how it all ties into the game infinity has yet to think out the box for a Cod and not to mention the spoilers on the computer
@@eardestroyer6593 I think as a franchise cod4, mw2 and 3 clears but as a single campaign no one ever matched the amount of details and gritty atmosphere BO1 gave
The reason why cod ghost was considered a bad campaign is because it was made so that there could be a sequel, still my favorite campaign, sucks theres no sequel because of the community
The reason why ghost is a bad campaign is it was designed to be a family story but one of the brothers never speaks! I like the game but it should be lower when they missed the clearest part of story telling if they wanted to tell a character story.
@@Mxsty607 I mean if thats the reason I don't remember that being said after beating that campaign twice, but that was also a choice they made that made for a worse plot and characters
The fact that the Vorkuta escape steps from the 2nd mission of Black Ops 1 are the steps for the easter egg of Black Ops 2's FINAL zombies mission is insane
IW was a great story and a top 5 campaign for me. I thought the characters had a lot of heart and emotion which made me attached to them. I cried in the end credits listening to their last words. The villain was the main turn off but I still loved the campaign because of its characters, missions, and mission atmosphere. I also liked that you could choose your class for each mission and choose to do different side missions.
IW at 12 really just goes to show that this list is mostly a popularity contest. IW had an incredibly solid campaign and a really great ending. Should have at least been top 8 imo
Bo1 will always hold a special place in my heart. It was the first cod campaign that I ever played where I understood what was going on. I was pretty young when the original mw trilogy came out and I’d play a couple missions of the campaign but due to lack of understanding of what was going on I often got lost trying to play it. Bo1 I had Woods and Bowman yelling in my earhole telling me where to go what to do, and even if I was by myself, I had guidance n shit, so it was easier for me to follow along. The plot, the twists, and everything in between was just top tier for me. And fucking Woods man. You have no idea how close I was to crying when I thought woods died
Any specific reason the first 3 games are not on this list? Sure, the writing was not as deep as the more modern games but the campaigns were still so much fun, with such big moments still burned into my mind.
@@Keyblader001 Yeah, CoD 2 is what got me into CoD big time, then I went back and played the original, skipped 3, and then CoD4:MW came out and the next 5 years or more it was one of my fave game series. Still enjoy a CoD campaign from time to time but I don't touch the multiplayer anymore, so I really gotta find them on sale whenever I buy one.
I LOVED BOCW. Everything about it was so great. The story, the different types of missions and choices you can make, and the cinematic music was so awesome too! It left me wanting more.
And i think that infinite warfare campaign is underrated it probably sits #7 or #6 for me. The game overall was Ok. But the campaign definitely underrated Whats next Community ranks Call of duty multiplayer?
Everyone is for some reason on this hate train for everything IW does probably just cause of the trailer so they suddenly are like: Oh it got a lot of dislikes it must be bad! No, that game had the best campaign, only thing tied with it was BO2’s campaign.
@@GamingAndFilmKnowledge I still remember half the quotes from it like the famous “if it reloads!” tank scene or the “as I was saying, if there’s anything the French are good at, it’s kissing” both in Scottish accents 😂
@@load_out Aye, the campaign with the Scottish guy and the Maquis was definitely one of the best. I get the feeling that I liked the campaign with Dixon, Huxley, Guzzo & McCullin more though.
@@GamingAndFilmKnowledge Dixon, Huxley, Guzzo and McCullin felt like the main characters in the campaign (after all they were part of the games loading scene), the British and Polish characters felt like side-characters used to add a bit of humour and a different side story which was great
Black Ops 1 is my favourite. The MW ones are awesome too, but for some reason I enjoy a lot more the Delta and the Ranger missions than the Soap and Price ones
Infinite Warfare should’ve been higher ranked tbh. Great campaign with a good plot and advanced movement. The multiplayer on this game was great too but had a really huge skill gap. Zombies was an absolute banger , Zombies in spaceland was not like any other zombies map and it’s considered the best non-treyarch zombies
Just because you asked: Miller, Roebuck, Dimitri Petrenko, Chernov, Polonsky I've played through WaW hundreds of times so at this point they're just indented into my brain. Also for the zombies characters. Japanese guy at the beginning Heinrich Amzel is Richthofen Polonsky is Tank Dempsey And Chernov is Nikolai
Yeah it bothered me more than it should have when he claimed it is a challenge to remember any other names. What about Private Ryan, There is the amazing achievement with him also haha
And also Sgt Daletski, saved Reznov and Petrenko from getting captured by the Nazis in Vendetta. I believe he appears a couple of times more throughout the campaign (might be wrong)
Games taught me something.. Specifically IW, TitanFall2… When you have a robot as a friend, you don’t like them at first, you just think of “Oh cool, now I’m not gonna die”, but then at the end you’re just like.. “Why? WHY DID THEY HAVE TO KILL MAH BOY”
70% of my audience is 18-34 and another 15% is 35-44. So the majority of the voters and viewers should’ve played most of, if not all the CODs. But I do disagree with BO2 as the best campaign, it’s still good though
@@AdamasutojrAJR Yeah but it is true that it was the grenade spam that really put me off it.. I do recall that getting really, really annoying. 95% of deaths are from grenades..
This video shows perfectly why democracy doesn't work, I guarantee you this even being a pool about the campaign people voted based on how much nostalgia they had and how much they like the multiplayer part of the game, that's they only way you can explain BO3 not being in last, Ghosts being higher than IW and AW, MW2 2022 being higher than MW 2019 and WW2, and the cherry on top being BO2 higher than BO1. Not saying BO2 had a bad campaign far from it but it didn't deserve the top spot, the missions in the past were amazing but the ones in the future were a drag and I'm not even talking about those optional missions.
Call of duty advanced warfare was the first call of duty I ever played so I probably have some bias here, but DAMN! You guys did it dirty! The only problem I have with it is that Mitchell only speaks in cut scenes and not during gameplay. At first I thought he was mute or something.
If you haven’t already, you should give the OG Modern Warfare titles a shot. There’s a reason why they’re rated so high. They’re the most beautifully story written COD games imo
I love how people skip COD1, COD2 and COD3 with the excuse that there isn't an actual story. If we are using that logic then World at War has no place in this ranking. That game is in the same boat as those three. It may have a little bit of a story but it's far from having an actual one. But the campaigns are mix of story and gameplay. And the gameplay itself has few aspects - mechanics, movement, level design and the gun fights. So for me the mix of all that should be the base for ranking the campaigns, not only the story. For me big chunk of the COD community ranking is based on a lot of nostalgia and that's why I can't agree with some of the spots. But there is one undeniable fact - COD never had a bad campaign. Even BO3 and Vanguard have enough not to be called bad. Mediocre - yes, but not bad. Big thanks for the creator of this video. That's a lot of work you've put in this project. Well done.
Unfortunately, this ranking is very much influenced by memories. It simply cannot be that Infinte Warfare and Ghosts are so far behind. Both games have a very diverse campaign that takes place underwater and in space, creating a new complete experience. In addition, these 2 games are very emotional, especially in Infinte Warfare so many characters died, especially yourself. And playing brothers in Ghosts who lose their father in the course of the campaign breaks my heart.
I think it’s nostalgia speaking on your end. The Ghost campaign was laughably horrible. Story was awful, plot twist was nonsensical, voice acting/animation was hilarious. I’ll never, for the life of me, understand how people like it. I suspect it’s just people who grew up on Ghosts, feel nostalgic towards it, and then say people who grew up on BO1/MW2 are the nostalgic ones.
@@SJ-di5zu I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I started with World at War, but I really grew up with the MW trilogy. My first real multiplayer experience was with BO 1. So I see myself as someone who knows the franchise well. Probably the biggest influence, especially on IW, was probably the big wave of hate because of the future issue and the jetpack, because at the time of IW nobody wanted to play with it anymore. If you look at where the game ends up in general, it's unfortunately also self-explanatory why this campaign went down with it. With Ghosts, I have to agree with you that the animations all look very wooden and have aged badly. But the story was finally amazingly fresh and reimagined, for the franchise to use stealth and guerrilla tactics because they were constantly outnumbered. The finale is one of the best for me because it combined everything you know from CoD, you just had space combat, drone use, tank mission and a race on a train in one mission. I don't want to say that they belong in 1st and 2nd place, no. But stories like MW 2019, MWII, which are incredibly boring with villains that are one-dimensional and interchangeable, are definitely among them. Masterpieces like BO1 and 2 and MW2 and 3 will hardly be easy to come by, although Cold War would have really come close.
I’m just gonna say it: Finest Hour has legit one of the greatest video game opening ever. Seeing the burning Stalingrad landscape as your boat was slowly heading towards hell itself always gave me the chills
If codm got a campaign i honestly think it would be #1 templar might be the strongest and coolest villian, and it has basically every single campaign character and gives more lore the the ghosts linking them with ghost, sucks that the campaign are seasonal comics
The most memorable quote for me both come from Price in MW2 (2009) and MW2019. The MW2 is: History is filled with liars. “If he lives and we die, his truth becomes written - and ours is lost. Shepherd will a hero, 'cause all you need to change the world is one good lie and a river of blood. He's about to complete the greatest trick a liar ever played on history.” And my MW2019 one is: “You draw the line wherever you need it, Sergeant. End of the day, somebody has to make the enemy scared of the dark. We get dirty, and the world stays clean. That’s the mission.”
@@DogMakingSausageIt's among the best Multiplayer experiences and pretty solid and iconic Zombie mode, but yeah, I have mixed feelings about it's Campaign.
same i remember replaying the story and trying to unlock all the special weapons and destroying everything in my way with the machine gun hahahaha really wish modern cod games had that kind of replayability and genuine fun that bo2 had. that and the soundtrack kicks ass
I love how you put the music of each COD game. MW2 2009 has to be my favourite :) One of the most iconic quotes from that game is ‘I lost 30,000 men in the blink of an eye, and the world just f*cking watched’ referring to COD4 when the nuke set off and the USMC got wiped out. On top of that, MW2 featured one of the coolest factions in the campaign I think I have ever seen in any fps shooter game. Shadow Company. I mean they’re probably the coolest looking soldiers I have seen in any game/movie. Idk how they pulled that one off
COD bo2's multiple choices and, strik force missions, and campaign create a class gave it an X factor that just made the campaign special. I absolutely love it when games try out bold snd interesting things like that.
My Top 5 Campaigns 5. Black Ops 2 (2012) 4. Modern Warfare (2007) 3. World At War (2008) 2. Modern Warfare 2 (2009) 1. Black Ops (2010) Although I like Black Ops 2 and think it is a great game, it is very Overrated in terms of the Campaign
@@StraeOutaJers No, everyone says Black Ops 2’s campaign is the best, with Black Ops 1 coming a close 2nd, you ask anyone their favourite cos they would either say BO2, MW2 or BO1 Black Ops 1 is the most creative, shocking, well written campaign ever and tells us that call of duty doesn’t always have to rely on action like the Modern Warfare games do Black Ops 2 is still great but it has a lot of problems The main one being The jump forward from Vietnam to 2025, it should’ve jumped forward to 1986 and then Black Ops 3 should’ve taken place in 2025, that would’ve been much better Also Black Ops 2 as a whole paved the way for Black Ops 3 and Black Ops 4 to come in and that was a stupid ass move cos they both pretty much have nothing to do with the original story
Advanced Warfare was my favorite campaign. It felt like much more than just following a story, there was so much more love put in to it and i felt it through the campaign. Does anyone remember walking around your room to check your loadouts? That was such a small addition but it's what sealed my enjoyment for me i really enjoyed the extra stuff they put in to the Advanced Warfare campaign and ever since I've always wanted a series based in that world. Just imagine what that team can do if they were to develop a dedicated single player experience? I'm going to die too early to experience it aren't i...
I’d argue “Good, that’s one last loose end” is much more recognizable imo. Everyone has heard of Sheperd and his betrayal. If we are talking wide scale tho, “No Russian” is waayyy more popular.
WHY IS GHOSTS SO LOW?!?! I completely disagree with almost every point you made during that segment, wasn’t expecting that. That’s a top 5 COD campaign, oozing iconic moments, characters, and missions. The moment where Roarke kills Elias is one of the best emotional scenes any COD campaign has ever had IMO.
YAY its finally here. Only 5 mins late highest record so far Edit: Bo1 was amazing the story, characters missions the villain almost everything was perfect. However the only few reasons for me bo2 is set a bit higher. Is again the story was incredible I like this whole concept of the choices you make lead to a different ending and ofc different outcomes in various missions. The villain raul menendez the best in the series. I liked how you can customkize your lodout before starting the mission. The characters David Mason, harper salazar even crosby were amazing one of my fav COD characters. Missions were amazing. The final mission of you jumping out the Helo was badass. How the story ended depending on your decision phennomenal which adds replay value. you have challenges that you can do. Yes a COD campaign with challenges which you can compare with your friends, online people hell if you complete certain amount you unlock special weapons. the Strike missions were hard but new and enjoyable to a degree. I also loved the idea of 2 time periods 1 set in cold war and other 2025. And lastly the music was amazing. The mission karma where the multiplayer theme plays in a certain moment and the slow timed club house shootout moment. In short every single concept in this campaign exceeded my expectations so much which is why IMO is the best COD campaign of all time. Edit: And even though the graphics are outdated compared to Current COD its still was good. Plus graphics doesent define a good or bad game. The fact that people say "this COD is the best cause of the graphics" is a very very small reason. Yh the graphics maybe good but what about the gameplay, the story other features on this list etc And probably the most underrated aspect is turning on or off the 3d Graphic content (if thats the correct name) basically censores the brutal stuff that young kids shouldnt see or hear. Which is optional
Rorke being the worst villain?????? He’s the only villain to actually win. Of course menendez can win depending on your ending but still Rorke was great
1. Modern Warfare 2 2. Black Ops 3. Infinite Warfare 4. Black Ops II 5. 4: Modern Warfare 6. Ghosts 7. World At War 8. Modern Warfare 3 9. Black Ops Cold War 10. WW2 11. Advanced Warfare 12. Modern Warfare II 13. Modern Warfare 14. Vanguard 15. Black Ops III
Honestly, that's probably the best list I've seen from anybody. I would switch IW and Cod4 but besides that it's amazing. I specifically like Ghosts being at 6. I think that's more accurate and is taking away the constant hate it gets for being bad because of no second game
That's a fair list, it's good to see you not rank games like MW3 as high and showing respect to IW. It shows you're clearly not blinded by nostalgia. MW3's campaign was most definitely a regression from MW2. Outside of Soaps death and the last mission it's quite forgettable imo.
Totally agree with the choice of Menendez as the best villain in cod history. I can only say that here in Italy the voice they chose to use for him is that of the very great Italian actor Giancarlo Giannini (The same Italian voice of Jack in The Shining, the one who received Kubrick's personal compliments for his skill), of which I invite you to catch some clips where he is in the scene because it is spectacular! Very good choice for one of the most interesting villains ever
WWII is honestly #1 for me, i never really played the old cods.. WWII brings back memories (maybe thats why its #1) i remember opening it up on Christmas and playing the campaign over and over. WWII is byfar my favorite and i would play it again if i still had the disk
If it was made by kids born after 2004 then CODs like Infinite Warfare and the more recent ones would be ranked much higher. Kids born after 04 probably never got to experience MW2, BO1 etc or were definitely not at an age where they would be able to comprehend the story so there would be no reason for those games to be ranked that high.
the one with worst ending would have to be Ghosts- shooting a guy in the chest at point blank range and in a drowning situation and then soon after getting dragged away by the same guy. It was deeply stupid.
@@ARandomSpecOp a lot of new fans of cod are actually people who never played any cod before and came to play warzone so to them (to those of course who cared to play the single player) the mw2 2022 campaign was a masterpiece of course for they haven't seen the previous titles
@@illuminatannunakAs someone who has played since COD 3, I still think MW19 and MW22 are great campaigns. I had a blast playing through both of them, and MW22 especially had fun gameplay sequences (the one with jumping vehicle to vehicle especially)
Everyone seems to like iw :o I also think its a boring campaign. Half the time you walk around in your ship. Flying is horrible and enemies have too much hp
I would've had Infinite Warfare at least a few spots higher, while MW22 would be at least a few spots lower. With Infinite Warfare, I understand that CoD fans don't want a Halo game in the series, but I feel the campaign was grounded enough despite it's futuristic setting. Plus, the gameplay, characters, and overall story was genuinely good, with it's villain being serviceable enough. With MW22, while it got points up their with it's gameplay (And graphics being a given), it's story was very average (To the point of feeling like filler), and it's villain(s) just flat and uninteresting. Arguments can be made for the characters giving it a few more points, but the game's plot doesn't do them any service (Personally, I like the original 141 better). Other than that, I generally agree with the community ranking here.
100%. IW is easily top 5 for me. MW22’s campaign was fun and the levels were definitely varied and each had their own little twist but the story was a bit weak, it felt like it lead nowhere and lacked tension and emotion.
Regarding what the majority thinks of what's the best CoD campain is, I really enjoyed playing (within the last seven months): CoD BO 1, Cold War and 2 in that order so that what happens in BO1 gets (somewhat) translated into Cold War and what happens in the 80's get translated into BO2.
There's absolutely no way MW 2022's campaign was better than mw19. Mw19 is easily one of the best in the franchise with the story, voice acting, music and the levels whereas 2022's felt like a step back with the most forgettable villain in the franchise and some disconnected pacing. Honourable mentions go to Ghosts, IW and WW2 as they had great campaigns too
Bo3 having a supbar campaign almost a decade ago surprised me since W@W, BO1 and BO2 set the bar for narratives in first person shooters. It can get the idea what they were trying to do but it think they were way too ambitious. Cold war's campaign was amazing. Interesting characters like Adler, Park & Perseus. Campaign replayability with different endings. A lot of (optional) secrets to unlock in every mission with detailed nostalgic callbacks to the original Black Ops games.
AW is drastically underrated…

IW should be higher just recently played IW campaign for the first time and Ethan is such a unique and likable character
I LOVED BOCW. Everything about it was so great. The story, the different types of missions and choices you can make, and the cinematic music was so awesome too! It left me wanting more.
Same bro
And i think that infinite warfare campaign is underrated it probably sits #7 or #6 for me. The game overall was Ok. But the campaign definitely underrated
Whats next Community ranks Call of duty multiplayer?
Yeah, IW was rated way too low here.
It deserves better 😢
I agree! IW should’ve been ranked higher. And yep multiplayer is next
IW was my first cod game (I think) and I thought the campaign was pretty cool
NAHHHH they done IW dirty.
They always do, don't they?
@@Ninjahollow853 yeah
Everyone is for some reason on this hate train for everything IW does probably just cause of the trailer so they suddenly are like: Oh it got a lot of dislikes it must be bad!
No, that game had the best campaign, only thing tied with it was BO2’s campaign.
infinite warfare is criminally underrated
So we’re not gonna talk about the roots of Call of Duty? Call of Duty 1,2 & 3 and etc?! They were the true masterpieces, Call of Duty 3 especially!
I was literally searching for COD 3 in this video as it was the first COD I ever played and the most memorable one
@@load_out It was the first one I ever played as well, a lot of good memories have came from that game.
@@GamingAndFilmKnowledge I still remember half the quotes from it like the famous “if it reloads!” tank scene or the “as I was saying, if there’s anything the French are good at, it’s kissing” both in Scottish accents 😂
@@load_out Aye, the campaign with the Scottish guy and the Maquis was definitely one of the best. I get the feeling that I liked the campaign with Dixon, Huxley, Guzzo & McCullin more though.
@@GamingAndFilmKnowledge Dixon, Huxley, Guzzo and McCullin felt like the main characters in the campaign (after all they were part of the games loading scene), the British and Polish characters felt like side-characters used to add a bit of humour and a different side story which was great
Black Ops 1 is my favourite. The MW ones are awesome too, but for some reason I enjoy a lot more the Delta and the Ranger missions than the Soap and Price ones
Infinite Warfare should’ve been higher ranked tbh. Great campaign with a good plot and advanced movement. The multiplayer on this game was great too but had a really huge skill gap. Zombies was an absolute banger , Zombies in spaceland was not like any other zombies map and it’s considered the best non-treyarch zombies
Man, I was hoping WW2 would get 8 or 7, but 10 is still good.
same bro i think it deserved a little higher but i understand why it wasnt as good as others
“No sacrafice to great” -Turner
Call of Duty WW2
*too
Just because you asked: Miller, Roebuck, Dimitri Petrenko, Chernov, Polonsky
I've played through WaW hundreds of times so at this point they're just indented into my brain.
Also for the zombies characters.
Japanese guy at the beginning
Heinrich Amzel is Richthofen
Polonsky is Tank Dempsey
And Chernov is Nikolai
I've played the campaign one time and even I could name way more than just reznov
Yeah it bothered me more than it should have when he claimed it is a challenge to remember any other names. What about Private Ryan, There is the amazing achievement with him also haha
Let’s be honest the characters really weren’t that good, there were a few good ones like Reznov and roebuck but everyone else was boring
@@Deathmare235honestly I think Chernov was quite good but definitely weaker than games like bo1
And also Sgt Daletski, saved Reznov and Petrenko from getting captured by the Nazis in Vendetta. I believe he appears a couple of times more throughout the campaign (might be wrong)

Infinite warfare campaign was soooooo gooood, and that soundtrack man wow
BO2? Well, tbh from previous rankings it’s clear this community is full of Treyarch -retar- people who were 5 year old in 2012.
70% of my audience is 18-34 and another 15% is 35-44. So the majority of the voters and viewers should’ve played most of, if not all the CODs. But I do disagree with BO2 as the best campaign, it’s still good though
I love bo2 tbh

WAW was a great campaign but the grenade spam was insane and the campaign was difficult overall
You say it like it's a bad thing. That difficulty lives up to the Veteran difficulty slogan "You will not survive"
@@AdamasutojrAJR Yeah but it is true that it was the grenade spam that really put me off it.. I do recall that getting really, really annoying. 95% of deaths are from grenades..
@@mraso30 fair. Tbh i felt like i was playing baseball with the grenades

"Every single CoD campaign"

IW was so good that sound track had me feeling so nostalgic
This video shows perfectly why democracy doesn't work, I guarantee you this even being a pool about the campaign people voted based on how much nostalgia they had and how much they like the multiplayer part of the game, that's they only way you can explain BO3 not being in last, Ghosts being higher than IW and AW, MW2 2022 being higher than MW 2019 and WW2, and the cherry on top being BO2 higher than BO1. Not saying BO2 had a bad campaign far from it but it didn't deserve the top spot, the missions in the past were amazing but the ones in the future were a drag and I'm not even talking about those optional missions.
Call of duty advanced warfare was the first call of duty I ever played so I probably have some bias here, but DAMN! You guys did it dirty! The only problem I have with it is that Mitchell only speaks in cut scenes and not during gameplay. At first I thought he was mute or something.
It was one of the best cod campaigns that i played.

If you haven’t already, you should give the OG Modern Warfare titles a shot. There’s a reason why they’re rated so high. They’re the most beautifully story written COD games imo

Takeo's model was taken from the main guy at the start of WAW, not the one at the back.
I love how people skip COD1, COD2 and COD3 with the excuse that there isn't an actual story. If we are using that logic then World at War has no place in this ranking. That game is in the same boat as those three. It may have a little bit of a story but it's far from having an actual one. But the campaigns are mix of story and gameplay. And the gameplay itself has few aspects - mechanics, movement, level design and the gun fights. So for me the mix of all that should be the base for ranking the campaigns, not only the story. For me big chunk of the COD community ranking is based on a lot of nostalgia and that's why I can't agree with some of the spots. But there is one undeniable fact - COD never had a bad campaign. Even BO3 and Vanguard have enough not to be called bad. Mediocre - yes, but not bad.
Big thanks for the creator of this video. That's a lot of work you've put in this project. Well done.
Unfortunately, this ranking is very much influenced by memories. It simply cannot be that Infinte Warfare and Ghosts are so far behind. Both games have a very diverse campaign that takes place underwater and in space, creating a new complete experience. In addition, these 2 games are very emotional, especially in Infinte Warfare so many characters died, especially yourself. And playing brothers in Ghosts who lose their father in the course of the campaign breaks my heart.
I think it’s nostalgia speaking on your end. The Ghost campaign was laughably horrible. Story was awful, plot twist was nonsensical, voice acting/animation was hilarious. I’ll never, for the life of me, understand how people like it. I suspect it’s just people who grew up on Ghosts, feel nostalgic towards it, and then say people who grew up on BO1/MW2 are the nostalgic ones.
@@SJ-di5zu I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I started with World at War, but I really grew up with the MW trilogy. My first real multiplayer experience was with BO 1. So I see myself as someone who knows the franchise well.
Probably the biggest influence, especially on IW, was probably the big wave of hate because of the future issue and the jetpack, because at the time of IW nobody wanted to play with it anymore. If you look at where the game ends up in general, it's unfortunately also self-explanatory why this campaign went down with it.
With Ghosts, I have to agree with you that the animations all look very wooden and have aged badly. But the story was finally amazingly fresh and reimagined, for the franchise to use stealth and guerrilla tactics because they were constantly outnumbered. The finale is one of the best for me because it combined everything you know from CoD, you just had space combat, drone use, tank mission and a race on a train in one mission.
I don't want to say that they belong in 1st and 2nd place, no. But stories like MW 2019, MWII, which are incredibly boring with villains that are one-dimensional and interchangeable, are definitely among them. Masterpieces like BO1 and 2 and MW2 and 3 will hardly be easy to come by, although Cold War would have really come close.
@@meineweltdesentertainmentscook that fraud
I’m just gonna say it: Finest Hour has legit one of the greatest video game opening ever. Seeing the burning Stalingrad landscape as your boat was slowly heading towards hell itself always gave me the chills

idk why but i enjoyed vanguard’s campaign
Did nobody notice that he put a mw2 mission in the video when we was talking about mw3???
If codm got a campaign i honestly think it would be #1 templar might be the strongest and coolest villian, and it has basically every single campaign character and gives more lore the the ghosts linking them with ghost, sucks that the campaign are seasonal comics
Templar ain’t beating Menendez
Bro AW was goated cus it was the first campaign I ever completed
The most memorable quote for me both come from Price in MW2 (2009) and MW2019.
The MW2 is: History is filled with liars. “If he lives and we die, his truth becomes written - and ours is lost. Shepherd will a hero, 'cause all you need to change the world is one good lie and a river of blood. He's about to complete the greatest trick a liar ever played on history.”
And my MW2019 one is: “You draw the line wherever you need it, Sergeant. End of the day, somebody has to make the enemy scared of the dark. We get dirty, and the world stays clean. That’s the mission.”
“I’m a god damn onion Mason.”
I'm glad to see Black Ops II getting the love it deserves. I remember being very impressed with the story and villain when I played it.
People are biased towards bo2. It shouldn't be so high in the list
@@DogMakingSausageshould be levels above any other

Just one mistake, MW3 first footage you viewed is actually from MW2 8:00.
Who else thinks the knife flip in mw2 was better before the remaster?
Waay better, but also a bit weird considering he had just pulled out a knife from his chest and is slowly dying.
@@takemeseriouslyplx2124I guess the finger dexterity would be lacking irl 😂
I love how you put the music of each COD game. MW2 2009 has to be my favourite :)
One of the most iconic quotes from that game is ‘I lost 30,000 men in the blink of an eye, and the world just f*cking watched’ referring to COD4 when the nuke set off and the USMC got wiped out.
On top of that, MW2 featured one of the coolest factions in the campaign I think I have ever seen in any fps shooter game. Shadow Company. I mean they’re probably the coolest looking soldiers I have seen in any game/movie. Idk how they pulled that one off
IW and ghosts are criminally underrated
COD bo2's multiple choices and, strik force missions, and campaign create a class gave it an X factor that just made the campaign special. I absolutely love it when games try out bold snd interesting things like that.
I LOVE AW

Although I like Black Ops 2 and think it is a great game, it is very Overrated in terms of the Campaign
Overrated in terms of campaign? That’s black ops 1 because everyone says it’s the number 1 when MW2 2009 and Bo2s are better
@@StraeOutaJers No, everyone says Black Ops 2’s campaign is the best, with Black Ops 1 coming a close 2nd, you ask anyone their favourite cos they would either say BO2, MW2 or BO1
Black Ops 1 is the most creative, shocking, well written campaign ever and tells us that call of duty doesn’t always have to rely on action like the Modern Warfare games do
Black Ops 2 is still great but it has a lot of problems
The main one being The jump forward from Vietnam to 2025, it should’ve jumped forward to 1986 and then Black Ops 3 should’ve taken place in 2025, that would’ve been much better
Also Black Ops 2 as a whole paved the way for Black Ops 3 and Black Ops 4 to come in and that was a stupid ass move cos they both pretty much have nothing to do with the original story

Advanced Warfare was my favorite campaign. It felt like much more than just following a story, there was so much more love put in to it and i felt it through the campaign. Does anyone remember walking around your room to check your loadouts? That was such a small addition but it's what sealed my enjoyment for me i really enjoyed the extra stuff they put in to the Advanced Warfare campaign and ever since I've always wanted a series based in that world. Just imagine what that team can do if they were to develop a dedicated single player experience? I'm going to die too early to experience it aren't i...
finally someone who agrees, i honestly love the attention to detail, the graphics, and how they have futuristic weapons that also look realistic.
Man i truly regret when i shoot nexus target right in the head and then knowing that was mason that i just killed. BO2 was masterpiece
I like how he said the most recognized quote in call of duty was the numbers Mason, what do they mean. And then quoted it wrong
I’d argue “Good, that’s one last loose end” is much more recognizable imo. Everyone has heard of Sheperd and his betrayal. If we are talking wide scale tho, “No Russian” is waayyy more popular.

I completely disagree with almost every point you made during that segment, wasn’t expecting that. That’s a top 5 COD campaign, oozing iconic moments, characters, and missions. The moment where Roarke kills Elias is one of the best emotional scenes any COD campaign has ever had IMO.
He said rorke is one of the worst villain lmao. He is avtually one of memorable villain for me.
a great quote from a cod game?
"No sacrifice to great"
YAY its finally here. Only 5 mins late highest record so far
Edit: Bo1 was amazing the story, characters missions the villain almost everything was perfect. However the only few reasons for me bo2 is set a bit higher. Is again the story was incredible I like this whole concept of the choices you make lead to a different ending and ofc different outcomes in various missions. The villain raul menendez the best in the series. I liked how you can customkize your lodout before starting the mission. The characters David Mason, harper salazar even crosby were amazing one of my fav COD characters. Missions were amazing. The final mission of you jumping out the Helo was badass. How the story ended depending on your decision phennomenal which adds replay value. you have challenges that you can do. Yes a COD campaign with challenges which you can compare with your friends, online people hell if you complete certain amount you unlock special weapons. the Strike missions were hard but new and enjoyable to a degree. I also loved the idea of 2 time periods 1 set in cold war and other 2025. And lastly the music was amazing. The mission karma where the multiplayer theme plays in a certain moment and the slow timed club house shootout moment.
In short every single concept in this campaign exceeded my expectations so much which is why IMO is the best COD campaign of all time.
Edit: And even though the graphics are outdated compared to Current COD its still was good. Plus graphics doesent define a good or bad game. The fact that people say "this COD is the best cause of the graphics" is a very very small reason. Yh the graphics maybe good but what about the gameplay, the story other features on this list etc
And probably the most underrated aspect is turning on or off the 3d Graphic content (if thats the correct name) basically censores the brutal stuff that young kids shouldnt see or hear. Which is optional
Idk man nobody will ever top Makarov for me.

Honestly, that's probably the best list I've seen from anybody. I would switch IW and Cod4 but besides that it's amazing. I specifically like Ghosts being at 6. I think that's more accurate and is taking away the constant hate it gets for being bad because of no second game
That's a fair list, it's good to see you not rank games like MW3 as high and showing respect to IW. It shows you're clearly not blinded by nostalgia. MW3's campaign was most definitely a regression from MW2. Outside of Soaps death and the last mission it's quite forgettable imo.
Totally agree with the choice of Menendez as the best villain in cod history.
I can only say that here in Italy the voice they chose to use for him is that of the very great Italian actor Giancarlo Giannini (The same Italian voice of Jack in The Shining, the one who received Kubrick's personal compliments for his skill), of which I invite you to catch some clips where he is in the scene because it is spectacular!
Very good choice for one of the most interesting villains ever
Advanced warfare campaign underrated😭😭
Best part of MW2 was playing as Ramirez. Loved the marine missions
WWII is honestly #1 for me, i never really played the old cods.. WWII brings back memories (maybe thats why its #1) i remember opening it up on Christmas and playing the campaign over and over. WWII is byfar my favorite and i would play it again if i still had the disk
Comment 21, infinite warfare, last time iw killed main characters
"EVERY COD CAMPAIGN!!" forgets cod1-3
Ain't no way BO2 is the best campaign.
Oh but there’s many ways it’s the best.
Ww2 is the most underrated camping modes
This list was clearly made by kids born after 2004
Before seeing number 1 it has to be mw2 2009
If it was made by kids born after 2004 then CODs like Infinite Warfare and the more recent ones would be ranked much higher. Kids born after 04 probably never got to experience MW2, BO1 etc or were definitely not at an age where they would be able to comprehend the story so there would be no reason for those games to be ranked that high.
the one with worst ending would have to be Ghosts- shooting a guy in the chest at point blank range and in a drowning situation and then soon after getting dragged away by the same guy. It was deeply stupid.
Ain’t no way mw22 made it above iw and 2019 or even Aw and ww2

@@ARandomSpecOp a lot of new fans of cod are actually people who never played any cod before and came to play warzone so to them (to those of course who cared to play the single player) the mw2 2022 campaign was a masterpiece of course for they haven't seen the previous titles
@@illuminatannunakAs someone who has played since COD 3, I still think MW19 and MW22 are great campaigns. I had a blast playing through both of them, and MW22 especially had fun gameplay sequences (the one with jumping vehicle to vehicle especially)
How is IW so high? Thought it was the worst, they never explained where you get your advanced movement from?
Everyone seems to like iw :o
I also think its a boring campaign. Half the time you walk around in your ship. Flying is horrible and enemies have too much hp
This is a very… *interesting* ranking.
MW 2019 at 9th is actually delusional. You people are ridiculous lol. EASILY a top 3 Cod Campaign.
I would've had Infinite Warfare at least a few spots higher, while MW22 would be at least a few spots lower. With Infinite Warfare, I understand that CoD fans don't want a Halo game in the series, but I feel the campaign was grounded enough despite it's futuristic setting. Plus, the gameplay, characters, and overall story was genuinely good, with it's villain being serviceable enough.
With MW22, while it got points up their with it's gameplay (And graphics being a given), it's story was very average (To the point of feeling like filler), and it's villain(s) just flat and uninteresting. Arguments can be made for the characters giving it a few more points, but the game's plot doesn't do them any service (Personally, I like the original 141 better).
Other than that, I generally agree with the community ranking here.
100%. IW is easily top 5 for me. MW22’s campaign was fun and the levels were definitely varied and each had their own little twist but the story was a bit weak, it felt like it lead nowhere and lacked tension and emotion.
Regarding what the majority thinks of what's the best CoD campain is, I really enjoyed playing (within the last seven months): CoD BO 1, Cold War and 2 in that order so that what happens in BO1 gets (somewhat) translated into Cold War and what happens in the 80's get translated into BO2.
There's absolutely no way MW 2022's campaign was better than mw19. Mw19 is easily one of the best in the franchise with the story, voice acting, music and the levels whereas 2022's felt like a step back with the most forgettable villain in the franchise and some disconnected pacing. Honourable mentions go to Ghosts, IW and WW2 as they had great campaigns too
Bo3 having a supbar campaign almost a decade ago surprised me since W@W, BO1 and BO2 set the bar for narratives in first person shooters. It can get the idea what they were trying to do but it think they were way too ambitious.
Cold war's campaign was amazing. Interesting characters like Adler, Park & Perseus. Campaign replayability with different endings. A lot of (optional) secrets to unlock in every mission with detailed nostalgic callbacks to the original Black Ops games.
