The recent dawn of the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 marks the fourth console generation to feature Activision's Call of Duty as a headline-grabbing franchise. Bursting onto the scene in with the PC-centric shooter that launched a thousand games based in World War 2, Call of Duty has been everywhere from the battlefields of Normandy to outer space and back again. With several different developers working on entries set in different time periods, it's hard to express what binds the series other than Activision's logo.
Despite that, fans looking through the many entries of the series can easily tell when Call of Duty is firing on all cylinders and when it takes the boots off the ground. Because of the enormity of the series, this ranking will focus on the mainline entries and its console-exclusive shooters. This excludes quite a few portable and mobile games, including what is undoubtedly the worst sequel in franchise history. Released on the PlayStation Vita, Call of Duty: Black Ops: Declassified is leagues below anything else bearing the CoD branding thanks to its laughably short campaign and shoddy multiplayer offerings.
On the flip side, several Call of Duty ports to the Nintendo DS showed impressive-at-the-time graphics and controls for the handheld. One thing is clear when looking at the franchise's history. As long as a game feels like Call of Duty , fans are willing to run with just about everything. From the great global wars to modern conflicts, from multiplayer arenas to bombastic campaigns and the realms of the undead , here is a tour of duty through Call of Duty history.
The team has thrived in the setting before with their own Sniper Elite series , but the AI issues and lack of multiplayer make this odd Call of Duty footnote well worth skipping. Another console-exclusive entry in the time when current consoles couldn't run the same Call of Duty games as PCs, Finest Hour provided a sneak peek at the franchise to players on GameCube, Xbox, and PlayStation 2.
Featuring online multiplayer and some exclusive modes, it was a fine entry for its day but clearly hampered by its status as a spin-off. The campaign follows a specific squadron of soldiers in World War 2 and features unique documentary-style presentation thanks to footage provided by The Military Channel and narration by noted voice actor Mark Hamill.

This review Helped me decide 3. Had useful details. Read my mind. Report this review. Parent of a year-old Written by Sircjalot July 26, Arguably the best Call Of Duty game! Being that it is such a good game, does it mean that kids should play this game? Being a war game, there is a lot of violence to be expected. In the campaign there's constant shootings and blood gushing, and if you shoot someone to the head, you'll see bits of brain matter with access blood gushing out.
Sometimes with certain high power guns, you could blow off a limbs "only in the campaign and zombie mode. The campaign mode is the most brutal part of the game, but the most goriest would have to go the zombies. As you try to fend for yourself againsts countless of zombies, you can blow their heads,arms,legs off with a high powered weapon. You could even blow half of their bodies off with a grenade! If you make it to a certain level, you will have to fight off zombie dogs "hell hounds.
The multiplayer is less brutal. There's no decapitated arms or legs. Just access blood when fighting. This title contains: Ease of Play. Helped me decide. Had useful details 1.

Sometimes, your entire character is invisible. Worse, there will be matches where the enemy character models only show up as a pair of swinging arms or a gun or nothing at all. This makes it not just difficult, but downright impossible to play split-screen. We started going back to Modern Warfare exclusively for this, and then on PS5 that game kept crashing over and over and over again, at times crashing so hard we had to reset the console manually.
When you get a crazy last-minute win, or pull off that wild throwing knife kill just in the nick of time, you want to holler and high-five not talk into a headset with someone 20 feet away.
Fix it, Treyarch! It may not be the top priority for a multiplayer game, it may not be one of the boxes Activision wants to tick off, but it does matter to a segment of the Call of Duty community. I just want split-screen to play as well, or nearly as well, as single-screen. Follow me on my Forbes blog as well and check out my new newsletter. This is a BETA experience.
