Players Still Can't Decide Which Call of Duty Had the Best Campaign. However, These Three Titles Are Always at the Top of the Lists
The Call of Duty series isn’t known for its amazing plotlines. However, some stories are worth experiencing and today we present three of them.
Have you ever wondered which Call of Duty installment has the best campaign? Many fans of the series probably have. While Call of Duty campaigns aren’t always known for being the most well-written or emotionally touching stories like those in The Last of Us or Baldur’s Gate 3, there are some installments in the series whose stories resonate deeply with players. Whether it’s due to nostalgia, sheer fun, or the emotions tied to a particular title, some Call of Duty campaigns hold a special place in people's hearts. To dive deeper into this topic, fans on the Call of Duty Subreddit decided to explore which campaign truly stands out.
Best campaigns in the Call of Duty series
On the mentioned earlier Call of Duty Subreddit, fans shared their favorite installments from the series, highlighting which campaigns stood out the most. We’ve picked three of the top choices, and we’ll break down why these particular titles are considered to have the best campaigns. According to the fandom, the best Call of Duty campaigns come from the following three games:
Call of Duty: Black Ops is set during the Cold War era, with the single-player campaign told through the perspective of Alex Mason, a CIA-trained commando who is being interrogated. As Mason undergoes questioning, players are taken back to relive his past missions. Fans of Black Ops praise the game for its compelling characters and engaging, action-packed storyline, making it a standout in the series.
The story was a 11/10, the characters are too f***ing iconic and it was both challenging and fun – BlueDemon999.
Thew second game on the list is Call of Duty: World at War, which features two parallel campaigns—one American and one Soviet. Players experience the stories of two soldiers fighting through the final days of World War II. Both characters endure the brutal realities of war and witness the conflict's end, giving players a strong sense of closure and the feeling of having lived through the conclusion of a pivotal era in history.
(…) It [World at War] has a grim realistic take on war, unlike all the other CoDs which go for that 'heroic, patriotic' vibe. It has a BANGER soundtrack and extremely memorable characters (…) – Profile-666.
The final game on the list is Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, set in the 21st century. The story revolves around a Russian ultranationalist named Zakhaev, who is fueling global terrorism to distract the world's major powers from his plan to seize control of Russia. The game is packed with unforgettable moments that many fans of the series remember to this day.
MW2 for the spectacle and CoD 4 for the immersion and realism – ShaggySyrup.
On October 25 Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will have its release. The campaign of the upcoming game will be set in the early 1990s, just after the end of the Cold War. It will be kept in the convention of a spy thriller. Once again, we will have a chance to experience spectacular events that will fall into our memory. It remains only to wait if the campaign will win over fans and turn out to be something special.
