COD 4 that low is criminal. Not a single mention of All Ghillied Up and One shot one kill, literally the two best cod missions ever by far. It’s top 3 along with BO1 and MW2.
It’s infuriating how MW3’s campaign cuts off right where it does because literally the original MW2 and MW3 continued. After Ghost and Roach died, you still had like 3 missions ahead of it. In MW3 after Soap died, you had A WHOLE ACT left. So in the new MWIII, when Soap dies (again) and it just cuts off, it really does show that it’s short
Agreed!
I literally thought i was only halfway there and the campaign ended, literally felt like i got scammed
MWIII felt like the actual ending to MWII's entire story.
BO:CW is hella underrated imo
It delivers that Black Ops 1 mindfuck just as well as the OG
Granted, I never got to fully appreciate the Black Ops twist properly (I was a kid), so being able to get something that recently was great
Also that mission where you're playing as the double agent is top tier
Also so happy to see Ghosts getting the attention it deserves
Sure, Cod WW2 isn’t historically accurate but that train scene was SICK
One of the best campaigns for os4 era id definitely put it above ghost or advanced warfare
It was so over the top it was hilarious.
Not only is this a pretty damn messy list, but no CoD 1, 2 or 3? Why we forgetting the roots of the franchise
The ACTUAL campaign-based games.
Cuz they didn't play them
Why isn't COD 1, 2 and 3 on here? I feel like those 3 games have a better campaign
Fr....
COD 2 had my fav campaign, it isn't even on the list. Wtf?
I love the COD2 campaign. I still need to play 3
putting ghosts above infinite warfare is absolutely mental.
IW has some or the best characters (besides the villain) in the entire franchise, meanwhile ghosts has characters that feel like they were written by children. The entire reveal of Logan and Hesh's dad being a Ghost is one of the worst moments in the entire series, Rorke is easily one of the worst villains in the entire franchise (probably even worse than Kotch). Not to mention Ghosts plot and worldbuilding was even worse than IW's.
Only good thing about ghosts was the mission varieties and cool set pieces.
Ok your comedic timing with the names for Cold War was genius. Subscribed 😂
Vanguard, mw3 2023, bo3, and somewhat mw2 2022. Can't say I was fond of those much. The rest, I absolutely enjoyed. Even the lack of a campaign in bo4, it still managed to show a rather promising idea of what the story could have been like. My personal favourites in no particular order would be WaW, bo1, bo2, and cold war. But still, WWII was fairly neat. IW was really good despite the villain feeling meh, AW was good overall. The original MW trilogy was great, and even MW 2019 holds up excellent for its campaign.
I’m so glad that mw3s campaign is getting love, jt was my game growing up I played it atleast once a week. That game has a special place in my heart. Everything about the campaign was perfect.
Never let bro cook again😭😭 no way anyone actually puts WW2s campaign over Cold War
Lol
Ww2 was such garbage
I can agree with a lot of whats in this list I like the fact you give underrated campaigns like WW2, Ghosts and Advanced Warfare some good praise, to me these campaigns are pretty awesome. I strongly disagree with the placement of cod4's campaign as I think that deserves top3. And I laughed so hard when you talked about what you understand from bo3's campaign because it's exactly the same things that I understood, which is nearly nothing. But hey man I enjoyed this video it was a pretty good ranking overall of course people will never agree 100%, at the end of the day a lot of it comes from personal preference. I would surely enjoy more cod ranking videos, like maps and guns would be a great idea. Also leaving a ranking number on the top of the screen would be good to know where the game exactly ranks overall.
Much appreciated homie! Had to make sure the underrated games got some actual rating here.
16:00
Also the second to last mission with it ending with the world going back to normal with Price still trying to contact Sandman as the mine collapsed
this list is FOUL
Thank you!
🤣
There is 1 game not very many people remember. Cod 2 Big Red One was damn good for the time! It had amazing voice actors from the band of Brothers TV series, and pretty decent character development for your squad.
Granted for the time of the PS2 era it was great. Same goes for Cod Finest Hour with it's intro dialogues into missions. Cod 3 was good as well. I understand why he didn't put older Cod's in the list, cause honestly it was much different back then, and call of duty wasn't a main stay name in gaming just yet, so a lot of the older games especially COD 1 on PC kinda where riding off of Medal of Honor, and taking what EA was doing but trying a bigger scale for the time.
List wasn't terrible, everyone is going to disagree, but 1 thing is for sure call of duty sadly will never be the same, and it shows. I haven't fully played a call of duty campaign let alone multiplayer since Black Ops 2. Let that sink in.
Way to bring back big red one. I used to love that game!
I remember that game was intense azf i would literally be shaking sometimes after playing it
6:27 multiple endings are bad
17:59 multiple endings are good
3:56 mindfucks are bad
17:13 mindfucks are good
Btw if you don’t know the bo3 story:
You’re Taylor and you die in the first mission and the rest of the game is your life flashing before your eyes (your life slowly playing out before your eyes)
Don’t say a story is bad if you don’t even know what the story is.
Depends on the ending. Depends on the mindfuck.
Man said no to 1-3
Personally I don’t find that it would be fair to rank these with the rest. Wouldn’t be fair in my opinion.
Thats true, they're far better than any of the modern ones. @@Bushberry
“I picked up on it pretty quickly towards the end”
How you putting iw over cod 4 i dont even know if iw is call of duty
I just hope we won't get a another Modern Warfare.
At this point I hope we don’t either but they’re going to do it. It’s an easy cash grab.
@@Bushberry watch as we get Modern Warfare 6 in 2026 💀😭
It wouldn’t surprise me lol
🤣
My priorities when it comes to campaigns:
1.) GAMEPLAY, you might have the best story, art direction, creativity, and characters of all time but if you have bad gameplay best you getting is C tier bro.
2.) creativity, by creativity I mean new ideas, or unique implementations of old ideas, and in my opinion that's why a lot of sequels fall under their originals, specifically the OG Modern warfare trilogy for me, they barely did anything new with the idea of modern warfare that other movies or other games haven't done. Attack on us soil is a big plus though! That hasn't really happened...but that was also done in red dawn, a movie from the 1980s about Russia invading the US. Honestly I think I just watched too much media around modern conflict before i played the trilogy, that it didn't surprise me. Put on the flip side and turns a creativity I love Black ops 3, in terms of creativity I think it might be my favorite.
3.) Art direction, that's also should count as the writing, or general tone. Yes writing is different from story, an example Black ops 3, the story in Black ops 3 is amazing, but the writing for said story is God awful that it's impossible to realize how good it is. They're different. Honestly this is just a section of the comment where I just praise treyarch, that is all. This and creativity, just sucking off treyarch.
4.) characters, simple enough to understand. I don't need to elaborate.
I'm finally going to give points to Modern warfare! Best characters hands down. The goats. Personally I like The vibes of woods and Mason better, but honestly. It's not fair to compare the two, we got three full games with soap and price.
Mason and woods only got one and a half games... it's not fair. I think if Mason and woods got the three game treatment, they'd be the best character in Call of duty. But I simply can't do it on principle.
5.) story, what actually happens in the game, the twists, the seen narrative, the message. Essentially all the art direction, but now does it work? For example bo3 I praised it in art direction, now I'm going to completely shit on it. Fundamentally fumbles every moment.
These five categories are in order of what i think is most important. And i think it makes sense.
it's really cool to see someone with differents opinions and i totally respect that exept that i would place mw 1 much higher
modern warfare 2 2009 is my favorite campaign
Interesting. I can understand the MW1 being higher tbh
I watched the video to know which CoDs to buy for the campaign during the sale and ended up getting spoiled for at least half of them... wtf bro
Oh…whoops. Atleast I said spoiler.
Don't call is ALL campaigns if it isn't all campaigns. You missed the best 2 (2 and 3)
Sorry but those two don’t stack up
@@Bushberry COD 3 doesn't stack up to the ones you just mentioned?
I’ve been going through every campaign the last couple months, so there’s no nostalgia for me (with exception to black ops II) putting World at War & COD4 as low as they are, especially below MW3 is insane.
I’d put Vanguard where MWIII is, just cause I hated it so much.
Overall, i think this is a pretty good list and i see eye to eye for most rankings. However, i do have a few gripes. For me, ghosts campaign did a lot of things well, but the writing and storyline is just so abysmal, unimmersive, and arbitrary. For me, it goes middle row if not bottom because I there are so many points in the campaign where all I can say is "yea okay" and trudge on when any of the walker brothers/rorke/elias explain their reasoning for certain things. I would have also put cod4's a little bit higher, but i can understand its middle of the row ranking because it can get pretty stale at points (I enjoy older treyarch's approach to campaigns where your character is a tad bit less john wick action hero-like). That being said, I would have also put cold wars a little bit higher but man in my eyes it fell flat for what it could have been. There were so many tension building moments like being undercover in the lubyanka building but so many missions just ended up exploding into action sequences where they shouldnt have been. I dont want to fight an all out war escaping the headquarters of the KGB (theres no fucking way the entire soviet bloc doesnt go defcon and the protagonists escape), but sneaking inside a soviet constructed american town/training ground where you then have to bust your way out? Badass. I personally enjoyed the cool little CIA mission garage and the puzzle you had to solve because it made it more immersive. My personal favorite campaign is BO1's, and waw and bo2 are close seconds. I could see how BO1/2 could swing either way, just what the player prefers. Again, great ranking and I have to admit, I am a little bias towards Reznov. Dragovich, Kravchenko, Steiner, these "men" must die. RIP Sergei
waw so underrated
Where would you rank it?
@@Bushberry probably second and bo1 in first
Interesting...
As a campaign, might be number 1.
The way you play as the Soviets is fucking phenomenal.
quite the opposite
Here's a very very spicy take: Call of Duty Ghost's story isn't that bad of a story and kinda interesting having the best ghost member be the main villain and that same character killed your father in front of you and your brother
And personally I like the concept and history of the Ghosts members but personally one issue I had with the story is that there wasn't many stealth missions as you think
Yeah the main problem is that the main bad guy has a cool backstory but is still a bad character. Also the ending is garbage
@@rockmycd1319 how is he a bad character?
@@applekhi3962he has no real motivation and doesn't represent his faction at all.
Also all the other characters feel like they were written by children.
@@Rabi2in I feel like his motivation is pretty clearly and explained thoroughly, he seemed revenge on the ghosts since Elias left him to go and he federation brainwashed him soon after and even though this wasn't in cod ghosts itself I'm pretty sure it's warzone, there's a design of Rorke with Federation attire (tho NGL it feels weird not seeing Rorke in a bandana)
@@applekhi3962 except that the Ghosts sent out a search party and tried to do everything to find him. With this in mind it seems less like a revenge story and more like some a-hole trying to justify his douchebag behaviour. Not to mention rorke wasn't even likable as a Ghost
blows my mind with what we got this year after the story they set up and the mission design they showed they knew how to make over the reboot of MW 1 and 2 then this? sad.
Crazy
Bo2, bo1, mw3 og had the best campaigns. Those my top 3
Putting Cold War that low is foul mate it is probably the best campaign next to black ops 2. It had everything idk why its that low.
i liked reboot mw2 because each mission felt and played different and it would never feel like doing the same thing over and over again though the plot is weak and final mission is ass
That’s what drove me nuts about it tbh
How did each mission feel different when it's all slow paced tactical shit
This is actually sad. You like Ghosts.
The campaign was fire. The multiplayer was trash
You should really check out cod 2 and 3 those are some worth while campaigns especially cod 2 which is in my top 3
I’ve played those I just don’t feel like it’s fair to rate them compared to these
@@Bushberry in what way?
@@Bushberry had no problem putting a game without a campaign on the list sooooooo
Did it as a joke lol
i actually fully agree with the list
MWII really had all the potential and IW ruined it so bad.
I don’t even begrudge SHG for MWIII. They at least tried/try to make MP and MWZ good.
It’s sad that SHG is better than IW just because IW wants to be awful.
The helicopter into Chicago at the end is one of the baddest intros to a level mission ever. I live in Wisconsin, and they really nailed that part.
Then it just falls apart with no pacing after that.
IW should not be allowed to make COD anymore.
I want a call of duty black ops movie
Mine ranked worst to best:
Bo4
Mw2023
Vangaurd
Mw2022
Bo3
Iw
Mw1
Aw
Bo2
Cold war
Mw2
Mw3
Bo1
From worst to best...
From worst to best
From worst to best
From worst to best?
I would of liked MWIII campaign if it didn't just recycle sections from Warzone
Sure MW3 does that but its done differently
I personally don’t think it would have matter if they changed the levels. The story was pretty weak.
Rip kamar de los Reyes ❤️🩹🙏 will forever be the best villan for Cod (least in my opinion)
How ya gonna make a COD campaign list without even mentioning COD 3?!
Okay, that's f*cking funny. BO4 beats MWIII cause it was so bad.
Got ‘em
Is rather play a good game, than to play a game about killing people, what happened to making good games like sonic boom?
There is plenty of good games out there.
@@Bushberry yeah, I love playing to tac toe with my teacher :-) when I win I'm allowed to lick my teachers toes :3
Mw reboot trilogy is serious cringe
14:41 bro what call of duty 3 was a sequel to call of duty 2
Should have said direct sequel
You forgot cod 1 2 and 3
Cold war is underrated
COD 4 deserves better
eh
Nah Black Ops 1 campaign its the best and its not even close
Best list ever
I’m sorry but you get L tacks like how is cod 4 below IW and AW
I love bo3s campaign XD
I’d love it if I could understand it
18:39 NO FUCKING WAY HE DIED
How bo2 can be first ? New character except menendez are forgettable, there is cool moment but no iconic mission (like all ghilled up, vendetta, no russian or vorkuta for example where you just have to tell the game to find a full mission name), when a new character die like harper or salazar it's not very sad like mason reznov soap or ghost, mission order is I think bad because you switch from past and future every time (will be better to have all past missions with cutscene of woods telling the story then all the future missions with the menendez hunt). Okay there is cool things like choices challenges or loadout but it's not enough to be 1st
The new character is actually pretty good and has a pretty sad back story. All the missions to me have been stand outs and the character deaths depending on which route you took are sad.
Every character has their own dept and story reason to exist in the campaign, there is MULTIPLE iconic moments, such as the club part of Karma, the Raul Menendez rage during Time and Fate, the suffer with me ending, and betrayal on Odysseus are all extremely iconic. You saying none of the new characters deaths are sad is your opinion, and kind of purposeful. Listen to what Menendez and the ISI leader say during Fallen Angel for context. The mission order is perfect because it gives time to see how Menendez is influential in the future as he is in the past, and if it was just in the start, missions like Celerium, Time and Fate, would make NO sense. It is enough to be first, because it is.
Ok you made some good and some terrible takes
Thank you!
Wrong. Black Ops 4 doesn’t have a campaign and therefore is the worst. Just because there is a story doesn’t mean it’s a campaign. Zombies has a story, I wouldn’t consider that a campaign.
Cold War is my favorite campaign
I don’t like the disrespect
Call of duty 3?? Seriously one of the best CODs ever made
infinite warfare over cod 4 💀
14:41 are you dense?
whatchu mean?
@@Bushberry call of duty 2 was essentially the first sequel, not mw2.
I should have said direct sequel.
@@Bushberry it still wouldn't have been correct
Yes it would have…game was a continuation of the events of the first Modern Warfare.
the last transformers movie is good
The Last Knight? I almost walked out. God awful film.
@@Bushberry you know it's good
@@timgonzalesjr5346it’s not it’s literally horrible
@@Bushberry it's a good movie tf you talking
Are you crying for soap? Or crying because that time in your life has passed?
mw19s campaign is barely better than mw2 and mw3 reboots, its not good at all, price is terrible, and the story is just terrible all together, it also started the movies that are pretty much campaigns now in cod
It’s crazy how you seem to base a good campaign on if you can understand it with the intelligence of a toddler. The game is rated 17+, so their target audience isn’t children by law. The campaigns are supposed to be creative outlets and dynamically interesting. You say you don’t like easy or simple campaigns yet you shit in Cold War and BO3 for being “too confusing.” What are you? A toddler?
Worse to best.

If they are not on the list, I haven't played them yet. I am currently going through bo1 and will be play waw next. I may change this list
Bro update your fcng list man wtf
@@GORILLA_PIMP oh yeah. I forgot to put bo1 there. Thanks for the reminder
@@theantagonist2960
Ok let's not let that happen again ok?
Now your next assignment is to write a detailed paragraph about each one
Mid list. Putting ghosts and advanced warfare above Cold War and MW22 is insane
No im done what the fuck is this??? There is no god damn way you put bo2 that high and then proceed to shaft the shit out of iws campaign.
It’s miles better
BO2 is as high as it is because unlike most camapigns, it actually says something with its story and characters, theres also more replayablity in it than every other cod campaign probably combined as well.
@@MisterDragon_ replayability? Its not like the choices basically change anything. The flashback missions suck ass. Especially that one where you are on a fucking horse
@@snopdogg2x The choices do matter though? The choices lead to two major outcomes that come from minor choices. Also cool opinion? Suffer with me is one of the best cod missions even if you don't like it, and Pyyrhic Victory has an amazing score. Also theres more than the choices. Theres 10 challenges each mission that give extra gear, that you can later use in different missions. Crazy how you just glossed over it.
@@MisterDragon_
You know what, you do you. I don't care for the story because some missions feel like a stretch and i like only 1/3rd of the missions gameplay wise in the game due to how much they kinda drag on. I will give you the challenge system, i did gloss over it because a good amount of it felt pointless and i could usually just play the mission the same. The villian was also amazing but i am still gonna ask why the hell he shafted iws campaign for, which also has one of the best stories in the franchise, really fun missions, equal if not more sad deaths, good character development, and the extra content and equipment that brings an extreme amount of fun to the game.
Your placement of Black ops Cold War is criminal
Bro talked to much abt infinite warfare that game was garbage
Yeesh
@@BushberryIam sorry love the ranking but hate infinite
How the fuck do the characters suck in Infinite Warfare 💀💀💀
What is wrong with you? Seriously. In WW2, the death scene for Turner (might not remember name correctly, finished months ago) where he sacrificed himself was fucking heartbreaking. Also, putting MW2 OG below top 3 is… punishable by making every single COD game you play have every chaos mod instantly installed, on every platform, even console.
The Turner death is and isn’t heart breaking for the exact reason I mentioned about all the over the top stuff.
OG MW2s story was great but I found BO1, BO2, MW2019 to be greater.
I hate OG MW2 campaign... its my Top5 worst CoD campaigns and the only good thing about this game is soundtrack which is #1.
Best Campaigns?!?!
Cold War
WaW
Black ops 1
Worst?
MW3 2023
Black ops 4
Vanguard
Bo3 was criminally low i mean you cant rate something accurately if you dont understand it
Infinite Warfare is the best one 🤷🏻♂️
