- DirectorJason WestStarsBilly MurrayCraig FairbrassDavid SobolovThe Call of Duty series returns this time into a modern day setting. The player takes control of a character nicknamed "Soap," for the majority of the campaign and will need to progress through many modern warfare scenarios.Whether you hate the series or not, you can't disagree that MW revolutionized the modern shooter, for better or worse. Modern Warfare had a solid campaign and a unique online multiplayer, that was faster and easier to get into than Battlefield or Counter Strike. What set this shooter apart from others when it was released however, was that it worked wonderfully for a console game. No other FPS besides Goldeneye had managed to be good console games before.
- DirectorJason WestStarsLance HenriksenKeith DavidBarry PepperA massacre at a Russian airport leads to a war between Russia and the United States. Meanwhile, a Task Force is sent to find the perpetrators and bring the bloodshed to an end.Now this might seem like a controversial choice, but i actually really liked MW2. Sure the campaign wasn't as unique as the previous one, but infinity ward managed to make a strong online multiplayer that was extremely popular. This was the game that shot Call Of Duty towards the stars, making the series one of the biggest of all time. Now that's a big feat.
- DirectorKeith AremJason WestStarsMichael CudlitzRick GomezFrank John HughesCall of Duty 2 recreates the big military operations of World War II (Defence of Stalingrad, invasion in Normandy and German-British war in North Africa), in a first-person perspective shooter.Now this is where the multiplayer portion of the series actually became popular. When Call Of Duty 1 was released, it was a pretty simple world war 2 shooter, with nothing to make it stand out from Medal Of Honor or Battlefield. However if you took the time to delve into the multiplayer you would find glory. Balanced classes, and great maps. I played this game a lot, so this placement is sort of biased, but i don't care.
- DirectorDave AnthonyStarsSam WorthingtonMichael KeatonMichael RookerSet in 2025, new unmanned machines have been taken over by Nicaraguan terrorist, Raul Menendez, forcing the U.S.A. to take action.A Lot of people will probably disagree when i say this, but i actually think Treyarch is better than Infinity Ward when it comes to engaging campaigns. With Black Ops II they even tried a lot of new things, a new graphical engine, choices that made an impact to the multiplayer, and continuation of their own multiplayer customization. Black Ops II was better than it predecessor and better than Modern Warfare 3. And even today, Treyarch remains the better of the two call of duty developers. This game made them the better company in my opinion. Black Ops II is proof of that.
- DirectorDave AnthonyStarsJames C. BurnsEmmanuelle ChriquiIce CubeFormer Marine Captain and CIA operative Alex Mason, upon interrogation by an unknown party, recounts his violent experiences with the Bay of Pigs, a radical Soviet conspiracy, and the Vietnam war.Now this was the game where Treyarch were supposed to show off their muscles. I was hoping for something magnificent, but what i got was just alright. Black Ops presented a story that was far more interesting than Modern Warfare, and introduced a new way of playing multiplayer that was unique. Sadly unique does not equal great. And Black Ops is proof of that. Its a game thats buggy, graphically weak and pretty unforgettable. However the zombie mode, was fantastic.
- DirectorKeith AremStarsSteve BlumJason StathamGiovanni RibisiYou play as three different Allied nations: the Americans, the British, and the Russians. From 1944 to 1945, you must answer the call of duty and defeat the domination-bent Germans.Now believe it or not, call of duty was actually not that big of a game when it was released. It got good reviews, but was pretty much a weaker version of Medal Of Honor, without an onine multiplayer. The PC Version was actually quite good, but the console ports were forgettable. Its a bit funny though, since when you think about it, Infinity Ward never knew the series would be as big as it became, when they created this game.
- DirectorMichael CondreyGlen A. SchofieldStarsBilly MurrayBruce GreenwoodIdris ElbaThe Russian Federation continues its invasion of the U.S., as well as Europe, including England, France and Germany.From what i know, Infinity ward was separated, and a new team began development of Modern Warfare 3. And believe me it does show. Modern Warfare 3, is basically the same old in a new package. an unforgettable and rehashed campaign, and a multiplayer that is only slightly better than Black Ops I. Of all the games this is probably the one i played the least, and MW3 is the sole reason why so many gamers despise the series to this date. Its not bad, but its not great either.
- DirectorJake RowellSylvain DoreauStarsBrandon RouthBrian BloomJeffrey PierceTen years after a terrible attack that wipes out part of the population, two brothers must rebel against a federation controlled by a psychotic soldier who once was part of the rebellion called "The Ghosts".Yes i am aware that Ghosts is pretty new and that the PS4/Xbox One versions hasn't been released yet, but after finishing the campaign, and having played both multiplayer modes a lot, i think i have a right to place it on the list. Ghosts is pretty much the weakest Call Of Duty of this decade. The campaign is laughably bad, and the multiplayer doesn't really do anything extremely new. Yes there are more customization and game modes, but that's pretty much it.
- StarsGary OldmanKiefer SutherlandCraig HoustonAn epic story of an American marine and a Soviet soldier in WWII.Modern Warfare was a unique and excellent installment for the FPS Genre. A modern shooter with a great multiplayer. The fans were hungry for more! So one year later, Treyarch released another world war 2, that was lacking in what made modern warfare great, and made us lust for modern warfare 2. I did not play a lot of this game. I finished the campaign and clocked in around 10 hours of the multiplayer. I just felt like that the game was boring.
- DirectorKeith AremStarsNick ChinlundJohn MeseChris TardioIn Call of Duty 3 the player takes part in the Normandy breakout, where the British, Canadian, Polish, US, and French forces are pushed into the village of Chambois, France.Now after having read my list, you probably think i hate this series. I really don't, i actually have had a lot of fun with these games. I must be honest though. Call of Duty 3 is a mediocre game, and the worst of the series. When infinity ward made a great multiplayer landmark for the series, Treyarch took a step back and slammed it into the ground. I'm not saying Call Of Duty 3 is bad, but its not good either. And sales mirror that statement
