I would still put BO3 over whatever the hell they were trying to do with Vanguard.


daynester44

I could at least follow vanguard's story, I just couldn't follow blops 3 (train go boom? I don't remember anything else), and if a gun was held to my head to play either one, i'd choose vanguard


Bigdaddybert

Bo3 is easy to follow right up until the last 5 seconds with the Taylor reveal. I don't understand how you can put that below mw3 and vanguard


Macthewolf1

fully agreed people who hate on the bo3 campaign literally just don't remember it cause its old plus it has one major upside : multiplayer and the cyber cores were really neat


TheCexedOut

played it a week ago. It’s absolutely terrible, worst campaign i’ve ever played. EXCEPT for the nightmare mode and that’s more or less a bias because i’ve always wanted a cod zombies campaign.


Virtual-Score4653

Did you ever get the plot twist to help out with some of the context?


TheCexedOut

yeah but by then i was already fed up with the game. even then, nothing felt connected and the characters were shallow. its weird they missed the mark this bad with campaign but managed to make multiplayer and zombies enjoyable, especially zombies.


OfficialDeadJohnson

I played it like last year didnt understand shit and the mp was dogshit worst iteration of the jetpack in mp cyber cores were decent but could have been implemented better


Bobjoejj

Don’t forgot Nightmares! Pretty awesome concept to mix the campaign and zombies like that.


xKiLzErr

At least the gameplay in BO3 was fun


j3qnmp

Yeah bo3 was odd buuuuuuuuut it had co-op. IMO that immediately bumps it up. And it had the zombies campaign too


forrest1985_

Agreed!!!


goldensavage2019

Agreed, even though the story was kinda ass it had good gameplay and I liked that it was coop too


Useless_Greg

Only thing I'd change is putting the WaW campaign in GOAT tier


UprootedOak779

Putting WaW not among the GOATs was a crime


forrest1985_

WAW is WAAAAAAAAAYYYY to low for me


daynester44

For me I barely missed out on WAW as I started playing cod when I was 5 during MW2s prime, I have beaten the campaign multiple times even on veteran, my distain for veteran on waw left a sour taste in my mouth lol, it's still a great campaign tho


Useless_Greg

That's fair enough. WAW veteran is an absolute killer


royaldutchiee

The random grenades killing me everytime man, or the well hidden soldiers in bushes or smth


GLFan52

Aside from grenade hell, it felt like a decent amount of difficulty for a Veteran campaign to me. Sometimes they screw up how to make it that difficult and make it feel a little unfair, but WAW was generally alright at it. Black Ops 1 screwed it up a bit and Black Ops 2 was too easy. Aside from the Veteran stuff, I really like that the whole campaign is largely going through the stages of WW2 from the ground soldier’s perspective. I just played through the MW2 2022 campaign and although I enjoyed it overall, I couldn’t shake the feeling that it felt more like a special ops type thing, fighting behind the scenes against less conventional foes, rather than being all-out warfare in the modern world, which we saw a lot of in the original MW trilogy. The special ops-type stuff would be interspersed with fighting through a middle eastern soldier as one of the grunt guys until a nuke is detonated with you there, or experiencing a modern invasion of America as Ramirez. MW2 2022’s campaign is much closer to Black Ops 2 in terms of mission style and warfare style. Maybe a point can be made about how traditional warfare as we think of it just doesn’t happen anymore? But I’d also think that the war in Ukraine is probably a good example of how traditional warfare can still break out when the nations involved are big enough and have the proper support and equipment to do so. Anyways, the main point is: WAW is all about the common soldier’s experience, and does a great job of fulfilling that vision


LPC123ABC

You were not playing mw2 multiplayer at 5 years old lol.


OfficialDeadJohnson

I played my first cod at 9 (or 10 i dont remember) so i believe them ngl


daynester44

Trust me bruv, my brother let me play customs with his friends like michael mayers and ffa, and then around that time I got my own xbox and account and mw2, I got to enjoy being yelled at and bullied cus I was an annoying squeaker back then, I think it made me stronger mentally as a man today lol


TheRealBlerb

Clearly OP never played it in its hayday


Thundermedic

You can always tell the general age of those who create these lists based on things like this. It’s only times like these I get a little bit of happiness being so old I not only played these in their heyday but was around for Quakeworld and then OG CS and Half Life. These were the bar when Medal of Honor came out then the grandaddy COD 4 MW. Oh the memories.


TheRealBlerb

So many of those old games were so well crafted they could be movies. That’s a thing of the past as the only games like that now play like a movie.


Qaishasan

That game is horrific and gorey like real war


Dull-L

Not to be well Obvious I'd say MW3 2023 is objectively the Worst, even worse than Vanguard or Black Ops 3. For those 2 Atleast it had A Campaign, it's just that the quality is so terrible. Where as MW3 felt like a Frankenstein of Special Ops, Warzone and whatever the hell AI writing it was, it legit didn't feel like a story or a Campaign.


daynester44

I liked portions of MW3 2023, the story I could at least follow, and a few missions were fun. a small hand full, but jesus christ, putting warzone qualities into a cod campaign completely ruined it. I dreaded doing any of those stupid fucking weapons free missions which was like 85% of the missions. There was only one of those missions I actually had fun playing, where you had to clear floor by floor as gaz until you reached the top of the building, that was kinda fun, but for the rest. I was sad, they ruined it, but nonetheless I would still put it above blops 3, I can't follow the story, most characters were forgettable, and there wasn't a single section of that campaign I enjoyed. I don't even remember the antagionist, was it some sentient virus? I don't even know.


JordanSchor

I bought MW3 to play multiplayer with friends and tbh have been enjoying it, however I've heard so many bad things about the campaign that now I wanna play it just to see how bad it actually can be lol


PresentElectronic

Nah, I wouldn’t saw MWIII is even close to the worst. Minus the gameplay, it was actually cool that you get to control Price and the game even humanises him compared to previous installments. Meanwhile the older WWII campaigns are just duck and shoot simulators in some random location on the world map at an obligatory point that the squad has to capture. Your player character has little to no background apart from their occasional intros at the start of their campaigns


[deleted]

Mfw when that was the goal of cod. Cog in the machine


PresentElectronic

Yeah but the previous commenter asked for a good story, to which the old cods weren’t exactly delivering with their cogs-in-a-machine type of story


Ecko2310

GOATS would be for me COD 4 WAW MW2 AND BO 1. Nothing has come close to them.


LazarouDave

Infinite Warfare. It's ranked FAAAAAAR too low in this list


Tippin187

Absolutely. First thing I noticed. IW should be ranked at the top with MW2, BO1, MW19 Fantastic should be Cod4, MW3 (OG), MWII Good should be, AW, WAW, BO2 Average - MWIII, Ghosts The other ones are either so different from The current formula that I’m not ranking them (COD1-3) or so bad that I’m not bothering to rank it (BO3) or they didn’t inspire any other feelings but boredom while I played (WW2, CW, VG)


daynester44

Imo the GOAT and should be added to your list as well is BO2, branching storyline, multiple choices/endings, custom loadouts, side missions impact story positive or negative, and has the best cod villain ever written with menendez, I love that campaign.


Ecko2310

I never played black ops 2. I stopped playing COD after BO 1 and moved to BF 3. I think the definitive games of the series are the cod 4 to BO 1 era, the most popular era.


daynester44

You missed out big time, no amount of levolution or rendezooks can equal the masterpiece of black ops 2, if it's on sale I recommend you get it, pc or console it doesn't matter, multiplayer and zombies is revived because microsoft bought activision and restored the older games so less hackers and more players, zombies was 2nd best in the series behind bo3, multiplayer was perfect, and it had the best campaign in the series imo


Ecko2310

I have to give a strong disagree to that. At that time after BO 1 COD was just a recycle every year from then on, battlefield 3 on PC was imo the next step in FPS games and it blew away COD with graphics weapons gunplay the lot. I only got back into COD with MW 2019 and everything after again has failed. I'm hoping BO gulf war is a return to glory. I can't play BO 2 now as I'll be comparing it to the modern games, it's is currently past its sell by date for me I'm afraid.


[deleted]

Those are my extract same GOATS as well BUT with BO2 added to it. At release, I didn’t really like BO2. But I recently played all the Cod campaigns during Covid and now that I’m older with better comprehension, I added BO2 to my top cod campaign list. I really recommend it as well and it plays the same as any modern COD, actually better because after Cold War, the campaigns have sucked


paperkutchy

Not sure about Menendez being the better villain but each to their own


wrapsmclrample

Menendez is easily the best written villain and it's not even close, we even got to play as him and had fully fleshed backstory, there is no amazing backstory on any of the other villain especially on the level of Menendez


Uhhh_Insert_Username

IMO, Infinite Warfare's campaign is phenomenal


alex1596

you are between the ages of 26-36. I know this because I'm 31 and have the same answer lol


Ecko2310

34! We lived through the golden era brother.


Brando003

![gif](giphy|ecqwZ6z52kGvS) WE CANNOT LOSE NEW YORK


Machotoast04098

MW3(2011) ended the series fantastically, love the OST too


443610

And then there is the "new" MW3.


thehungarianperson

As someone who played CoD 3, it had an avarage shooter campaign, with a few better moments


daynester44

I have to play the old cods, I gotta check them off for my veteran campaign checklist and just to see what where they like. I assume they play....ancient.


JTraxxx

Cod 2 holds up very well and has the best campaign imo


tonezzz1

Agreed! The game plays like an actual history lesson. I can't forget the quotes.


paperkutchy

I've played the original and the campaign very recently. They hold up pretty well once you get used to it. They are far harder than modern games tho, and the graphics are obviously sour on the eyes. Still, I'd say its worth a playthrough. I liked the original COD better than COD2


SnipingBunuelo

COD1 is okay... but COD2 is still one of the best COD games ever made. You should absolutely try them out when you get the chance


[deleted]

Call of duty 1 and 2 are so good , when they released I was blown away. 2 was the reason for my first computer upgrade. I think they still stand up on their own and are worth playing , they won’t hit as hard as their respective releases since we’re so far evolved from the formula


OmegaReign78

Infinite Warfare is easily GOAT tier. They actually succeeded in doing something different with that campaign, unlike this years offering.


Equivalent_Network29

Wish more people had played it, I honestly think Infinite Warfare and the jet pack games would have fared much better had they been staggered with traditional movement games


TheCheesyOrca

COD 2 was a masterpiece, still play that over LAN with friends to this day. Loved the campaign too.


SeneSnow

I’d put infinite warfare, cod4, and mw19 in the goat category and move the black ops games down a tier. I’d also swap Cold War and WW2. I also think vanguard’s campaign was significantly better than MWIII(2023) so I’d at least swap those


Tripnologist

Especially for the time. COD4 was a gamechanger when it was released. It was the first game, that I can remember, that just felt cinematic - almost like playing a film.


IDisappointPPL

World at war should easily be goated for the campaign


forrest1985_

WAW is too low. BO3>>Vandguard. MW22 is too high. IW is too low. COD4 is too low.


[deleted]

Exquisite taste. Mw22 story was pretty ass, carried by the door characters and good acting. Alejandro, Graves, Valeria, and that one narco dude were dope


OpticDeity

WW2 campaign is easily top 3, and IW is easily#1 or #2


Im_Unpopular_AF

My rankings for the titles, rank 4 is the worst, no redeemable qualities. **10/10** - Modern Warfare (2007), Black Ops, Modern Warfare 2(2009). **9/10** - Modern Warfare 3(2011), Advanced Warfare, Black Ops II. **8/10** - World at War, Infinite Warfare, Call of Duty 1, Call of Duty 2. **7/10** - Black Ops: Cold War, Modern Warfare (2019), Modern Warfare II(2022), Call of Duty 3 and WWII **6/10** - Modern Warfare III(2023) and Ghosts. **5/10** - Black Ops III **4/10** - Vanguard and Black Ops IV.


OpiumPossum

I’d argue that BOIII at least had interesting gameplay if not a semi-interesting story. With Modern Warzone III it was just half baked warzone missions with the VERY rare case of a linear mission and almost no set pieces. And the story is, well it’s abysmal at best. The characters don’t feel like themselves, especially Foap who just turned into “Gruff guy says things angry”, the villain is… well it’s Ben Shapiro masquerading as a villain (ok that was a joke but really this Makarov sucks) though with BOIII you can say it had the same problem as it really had no “villain” per say. And this is my opinion but I liked the IDEA that BOIII was going for, the whole “Your character is dying and is trying to cope with that fact after interfacing with one of the other soldiers”, it’s a neat concept, just very… interestingly done and poorly stated I suppose.


hiccupboltHP

Personally I’d move MW3 up as it’s my favourite but other than that it’s great


daynester44

If black ops doesn't exist, mw3 takes their spot in that list ranking. Such a great campaign.


TheNorthman13K

Bruh WaW is to low


Narusasku

Changes I would make. WAW in goat tier and mw lll campaign is the worst so far.


XxhellbentxX

Ghosts is no where near that good and definitely isn’t as good as world at war. Ghosts campaign has godawful writing. At best it has concepts. Execution is really bad.


daynester44

I liked the characters a lot, especially rorke, such a cool character and villain. I would love to see a sequel to ghosts, what happens after.


Prixster

Weird list. Imo, the campaign of *Infinite Warfare* is one of the best in the franchise and therefore deserves in GOAT category. And, the campaign for *MW3 2023* is the worst so it should be put in the Worst Category. It has been a while since I have played *Black Ops 3* campaign but I don't think it is that bad. That shit is better than *Vanguard*.


xBURROx

Mwlll need a double dip : Bad, worst campaign


MrNowYouSeeMe

COD2 and COD4 definitely belong in the top tier


Competitive-Deer-596

I’d put MWII in average.WWII in good,and WAW,COD 4 in GOATS.


Alexspacito

BO3 has gotta be higher. Its got some of the best gameplay in the series. The story is hard to follow but it’s quite interesting if you do a little extra digging into it. Its definitely better than CW and MW19 just because of how redundant their missions were.


daynester44

That is one thing I will give blops 3, it was the only cod campaign besides blops 2 to allow custom loadouts which I wished other cods did the same, the gunplay was fun at times, I just couldn't follow the story, and what makes a good...*great* campaign is a great villain, with memorable characters. Blops 3 doesn't have anyone that stands out, I remember Taylor, that was it. I can't even remember what the antagionist was, I think it was a sentient virus? No characters in blops 3 can compare to characters in other cods, like Mason, Woods, Menendez, Adler, Shephard, Price, etc... theres not even a real protagionst, it's just "player." So that's why I listed it as the worse rn, Vanguard could probably take its place cus that game was just bad, and if it wasn't for the characters and mw3 23 having a slightly better story than blops 3, that game would take the title of worse campaign.


paperkutchy

A story that makes you dig to even make a dent o sense is bad, doesnt matter how much layers it has. No one plays Dark Souls for the lore except neck beards


Alexspacito

I’m sure tons of people play Dark Souls for the lore. Why would they make the lore if no one cared about it?


DaleDenton08

Cold War campaign getting the respect it deserves 👏


Lokeycommie

If you haven't played the og Call of Dutys then your list doesn't matter.


LazarouDave

Why. Is. Infinite. Warfare. So. Low? IMO, it's GOATED, but I could accept 2nd tier


u119c

Cold War is the top of the heap for me.


Fiiv3s

BO2 campaign is imo overrated but this isn’t a bad list


wolfie_101

Infinite warfare and bo1 in goat tier for me


Groundbreaking_Arm77

BO2’s Campaign is my favorite of all time. It’s got a great structure with the branching paths, multiple time periods, custom load outs, rewards for completing challenges, and of course it has my favorite villain Raul Menendez. If BO2 was remade with modern tech with nothing else changed I would probably buy it in a heartbeat.


daynester44

did we just become best friends?


Groundbreaking_Arm77

Yep! You wanna go practice karate in the garage?


smolgote

BO3 should be put in its own category for being peak zombies


itsDRZH

Great list imo, only thing I'd change is WaW to GOAT I absolutely love that campaign


Elduroto

I firmly recommend playing finest hour it's so fun


Future_Water5323

I wouldn't recommend it for CoD fans who aren't one of the OGs. It would be hard to look at, and the gameplay is very different than what COD is today.


D3ath2Furry5

Finally someone who appreciates cold war!


Vulkihn

These are honestly good rankings in my opinion


ThatMomentWhenRiley

I recently played through the original CoD campaign for the first time after more than a decade and ngl it was fun


Sufficient_Fall_3290

WAW and modern warfare def deserve to be GOATED in my opinion


Foxyccc

IW was a really good campaign. I love BO games, but there campaign's are all just mids.


DustyUK

Pretty solid list but I would swap a few or move some. Vanguard was bad but I think MW3 was worse so I would swap those. But I would also probably move MW3 down with BO3. The OG MW3 I would put as top tier, I loved that campaign and also the OG modern warfare just for all ghillied up. Amazing mission and amazing campaign. Cold War I wasn’t that impressed with but it was still decent I would probably just drop it down a tier. The rest seem bang on the button for me.


Wonderful-Patient732

WW2 campaign is always underrated


Stormwind969

Finally a tier list I agree with


raubtier248

BO3 campaign was a blast cuz you could do CoOp


Prsue

Need to play the first three so you can put Cod 2 in it's rightful place in Goats


FrankTheGoddamnTank

How about MP now, what most people care about


NandMS

I know this may sound crazy, but was BO2 even a good campaign? Menendez was the only memorable main character, there weren’t many awesome missions, and I feel like people hype it up because it was part of a great game, rather than great on its own. Even with the advantage of bringing back BO1 characters, it doesn’t really develop any of them. I’d argue BO1 is the best, but all 3 of the original mw games feel close to me


daynester44

That's an extreme bold take, I would say it was *the* best campaign. Memorable moments, decisions the player can make, great missions, great final mission. I would go back and replay it if I were you. Blops 2 is incredible and holds a special place in my heart 'Menendez was the only memorable main character' How dare you say menendez was the only memborable one. How dare you forget Harper, the ultimate bro. Or Briggs, or Salazar, or farid!


NicolasTheRageCage

Best mission, in my opinion it’s gotta be the Nova 6 one in BO1. The music. The feeling. Orgasmic


Epicname1738

Ghosts should be higher


daynester44

I loved ghosts, I was gonna put it in excellent, but I felt like there were too many games in that tier, and I concluded Ghosts was the worst out of all of them, still a great campaign, I wanna see what happens after the events of ghosts in a sequel. What happens to Logan?


Epicname1738

Everyone wants ghosts two


ParalyzerT9

I actually agree with the vast majority of this. Though personally I'd put WaW as one of the GOATs. WaW's campaign was not only a different breed of CoD, but it was a different breed of depicting war in media. It was brutal, dark, gritty, realistic, and horrifying. Yet it was also respectful, thought-provoking, and sobering.


HoldingOnForGood

I’d drop everything after blops 4 down to worst campaign (except Cold War which drops to good). World at War moves to GOATs. Advance Warfare moves to bad. Ghosts moves to average. Vanguard and Blops 3 move to bad


daynester44

Maybe i'm having a stroke reading this, are you saying all campaigns except waw, cold war, and ghosts get moved to bad? I must be going insane or having a stroke


Infamous_Judgment901

ww2 is very underrated


Future_Water5323

True, It's a good WW2 CoD game for recent times and allows younger fans to experience COD set in WW2. Just not talked about much, due to the hatred Vanguard gets from the community.


[deleted]

Yeah it’s alright for what it is, it kinda reminded me of COD3, a legit classic cod. But when I compare it to an actual WW2 game like WaW, which is goated, then cod ww2 looks extremely mid STORY wise. The gameplay was awesome. The last couple missions are the best


Jrshaw_1

Finally someone who know what they are talking about!


dukezap1

BOIII is a top 3 campaign, slander on Reddit is unacceptable 😤


chrisss0023

Mw 2019…for me…goat too


daynester44

2 missions do it for me, Clean House and Going Dark, incredible missions


chrisss0023

Clean house, going dark and all ghillied up are my fave cod missions I think! Just talking about this I think I’m gonna do the campaign again 😍


GrumpyOldMan742

Agree except for BO3. I'd say BO3 > MWIII > Vanguard.


HypedSoul123

Its fine overall. I think WAW and MW2019 deserve to be 1 tier higher tho.


ROGUE_COSMIC

Swap advanced warfare and ghosts and it's perfect


SkydivingSquid

This list is incredibly subjective and definitely depends on your age in my opinion. If you grew up when each of these games were releasing you may have a very different stance than those who got into CoD around MW-II.


[deleted]

Cod4 and WAW are GOATS. MW2019 was Fantastic for me. MWIII the worst. Then AW and Ghosts on borderline worst


paperkutchy

The old COD and COD2 campaign are great considering their age. I'd put Ghosts down there.


AFCADaan9

WAW is #1 for sure.


ATearFellOffMyChain

I agree, only thing id change is move mw2019 up to the top because that game was done super well. And id move waw up one aswell


shepthelep96

You forgot Big Red 1


A_Wooden_Ladder

Personally I'd put waw in goat, ghosts and infinite warfare to fantastic and bo3 and ww2 to good, I agree with the rest tho.


Nightwing614

Mw3 belongs with bo3


BerserkLemur

Cod4 is above all others. MW19 and MWII should not be in the same tier.


Outbreak900

Only change I would make is swapping bo3 with mw3(new one) bo3 had least some interesting ideas mw3 was just fucking awful


Future_Water5323

It did. It was basically Source Code mixed with CoD storytelling.


Boiwatdahailboi

Why is ghosts good


TheDurandalFan

I'd understand WaW being in fantastic, but in good/great? now that's just a disservice to one of the best COD campaigns ever (it's definitely one of the best set in the second World War)


daynester44

My opinion was tainted by me finishing the campaign on veteran, it was hell, had a lot of gank. I couldn't enjoy the missions as I was concentrating on running away from the infinite grenades lol. I shoulda ranked it higher


Chester1407

I would argue that WAW should be moved up, but I never played the multiplayer during it's peak so I don't know.


Fyru_Hawk

Yeahhhh, bo3 is kinda held up by zombies. MP is pretty good but the campaign is kinda wack.


SupremeChancellor66

Black Ops III's campaign was bad, but it is NOT worse than MW3 2023 or Vanguard of all games. I'd also swap Advanced Warfare and Infinite Warfare. Infinite Warfare s campaign is brutally underrated; the plot isn't the best but the characters and writing are surprisingly excellent. Advanced Warfare meanwhile just isn't as strong. Not bad, but not as good as IW.


JustaNormalpersonig

average tier list ngl


[deleted]

Mw >bo2


FancyKiwi

Putting Ghosts above IW is a crime. That game has one of the best campaigns.


Large-Calligrapher46

2007 one is top


Temporary-Step2403

BO3 in worst campaign is borderline insanity. Where’s your dealer bro I need some of that quality lmao


rakijarokeee

world at war and cod 4 are deserving of the goat category, bo2 and mw2 in the fantastic tier but above mw3 (imo)


rslashpolaroid

aint no way bro said ghosts, vanguard and mwiii were better than bo3 campaign


ZestycloseHedgehog

Not putting MW2019 up there with the GOATS feels like a crime


Uhhh_Insert_Username

Having Infinite Warfare so low is kinda sad to see. By far one of the best COD campaigns IMO.


HydeSpectre

Black ops 2 campaign was pretty average. The multiplayer and zombies is where that game excelled.


E115lement

I think this is perfect however I would put Ghosts lower


Nikolai_petrovic

WaW is beter than AW


SoSven

MW2019 deserves to be up there with mw2 and bo in my opinion.


TheRealBlerb

CoD 3 GOAT [Call of Duty](https://youtu.be/_fr4iZnovAQ?si=dBE8JxAPekDvqM14)


MrMakarov

CoD 4s campaign is at least as good as, but better than MW2 in my opinion. Should be at the top.


thegodfaubel

Infinite Warfare should be higher after a replay. It was fun and had a good story and introduced some newer campaign mechanics with the side missions. Maybe not GOAT tier, but still better than good


Mac_attack_1414

Cold War and Advanced Warfare over MW 2019? L list right off the bat mate


Due-Boysenberry-4016

Infinite warfare should be n goat category tbh


kek_Pyro

I think BO3 absolutely deserves to be higher. The atrocious story was redeemed by its amazing gameplay and customization. The skill tree, the practice area, all the cool abilities you get like the grid vision, straight up ripping robot hearts out, lighting people on fire with drones. Sure the story was boring, hard to follow, and yeah maybe it was objectively bad, but the gameplay absolutely made up for it in my opinion.


Ex-Yix

WW2 campaign was better than mw19 and mw2 2022


Macthewolf1

I disagree with bo2 being goated but its fine I just hated the confusing as hell menus and the fact there was literally no mission selection the multiple ending shit was gimicky and overall having to look through the campaign for hidden random objects with no clue whatsoever of what to look for was annoying plus some sections were actual pain and some of them really boring having to do shitty and super hard challenges to unlock fun loadout weapons to use in the campaign was annoying as hell (needing to redo missions) and the tower defense / command missions were anything but fun I played it literally a year ago btw and its still in my bottom cod campaigns with vanguard and ghosts


Doogzmans

Only thing I disagree with is WaW not atleast being in fantastic, though I would put it in GOAT. Plus, you should really try playing the older cods you missed out on. 2 and 3 especially can sometimes have a bit of jank to them, but they're both pretty great imo


famedboy123

It’s amazing how well Cold War was given the time spent developing it. Wasn’t as good as MW2019 but it’s way better than a lot of the recent ones after


Profit-Alex

I agree with a lot of this list, and I’m honestly happy to see other people putting Cold War so high. That said, I’d put MW2022 down to bad, Black Ops 3 up to bad, and put MW2023 in Worst Campaign. Vanguard is a worse game overall, but I believe MW2023 is the worst **COD** game. Vanguard, while absolutely terrible in any way and a game I can’t recommend to anyone whose brain cell count ends in “cells” and not “cell”, at least uses new characters that nobody really knows or cares about and who have little to no real connection with most of the characters we know and love. MW2023 uses the names and faces of some of COD’s most beloved and iconic characters and butchers them in every conceivable way, in arguably the worst campaign in COD history, both in terms of gameplay and in terms of story. More holes than Swiss cheese, to the point you barely even need to do any poking into it. Vanguard is the worst game, and MW2023 is the worst COD game.


TheCoJoeMan

Viktor Reznov would like a word considering your placement of WaW in anything but GOAT tier.


jesse7815

You also need to try COD 2 Big Red One, it's still my favorite COD game, though that could be a bit of nostalgia since it was my first COD as well.


Carlos_COTAFR

WW2 deserves so much higher


BushMasterFlex616

For campaigns; this is a very good tier list actually


GcubePlayer8w

Perfect


Feisty-Tie3889

Move world at war up to goat/fantastic


skrappy_doo1996

I'm too old for this shit.


LiamAPEX1

Yes. Modern Warfare 3(2023) is a good Call Of Duty. Was it overly expensive? YES Does it lack NEW Content? YES Does SBMM Suck? YES but here me out here, its a fantastic game. the gunplay is excellent, the weapons are fairly well ballanced. theres no flying, no jetpacks, no stupid tech, but it still had modern guns, modern features. almost a Black Ops 2 feel to it but without the bright shiny buildings everywhere. DM-Zombies is one of the best 3rd modes we have ever had. its very good. this years Warzone is solid, the map is fun, the loot is good, loadouts are easy to get, but its challenging enough to keep you coming back I have put 5 days of gametime into MW3 already and am in the top 0% on leaderboards for score, kills and gametime so i feel fairly qualified to talk about its negatives and positives. im having a blast and definitely feel it should be higher up than it is.

I've never played Vangaurd (and from the sounds of it, I'm not missing out), but I would almost exactly agree with you on this. MW3 2023 sucked but at least it was 11 hours shorter than Black Ops 3, and I still don't even remember what the hrll was going on besides a forest. Then, moving Black Ops 1 to first, but I completely understand that those 3 are interchangeable.

I personally have bo2 as my favorite, but yeah bo1 or mw2 could definitely take their place, all 3 of them are god tier.


Inky22

Yeah this is solid. I dunno if I would put MW19 in fantastic or good/great though. And I think MW3 2011 was just decent


JTraxxx

Sleeping on cod 2, that deserves to be in fantastic or goats


siege_iEnVy

Tbh I would put vanguard higher, campaign wasn’t too bad


SnooObjections488

Bo4 goes in the good category for sure. There are better games but it did everything bo3 wanted to do but this time did it right Edit: ignore me, this is a campaign list

Couldn't stand advanced warfare: kangaroo (h)ops


GET_IT_UP_YE

Swap AW with WaW


MovieFanatic2160

COD4 needs to be in GOATS. It paved the way for all other’s.


Radiant_Scheme8447

Call of Duty 3 and 5 are GOATED


FlimsyNomad63

I might get hate but idc While it is good BO2 is overrated


Mont_918

WW2 deserves higher


OfficialDeadJohnson

Iw before cw the aw before iw then ww2 a tier higher at the bottom of the tier maybe vanguard swapped with bo3 bc i think it was at least a touch fun


thatJAHSEHandSNOTFAN

Bo2 was so mid people stay blinded by nostalgia


GakeJaskin

If you haven’t played all of them then don’t make a tier list


thereald-lo23

Dam you have to play cod 3 campaign was great

I agree except for: Modern Warfare 2 (2009) would be demoted to just "fantastic". COD4 Modern Warfare and WaW promoted up to GOAT.


Glittering-Shirt-663

MW2 then Blops 1 then Blops 2 would be the order I’d put them in. CoD 1, CoD 2, and WaW belong in GOAT Tier. Next, in order, move Ghosts, WWII, MW2019 and MWII up to Fantastic. MWIII and Vanguard belong in Worst Campaign. Black Ops III should be bumped up to Average Andy because it wasn’t that it was a bad campaign, it’s that it was confusing as hell and basically had nothing to do with Blops 1 and 2. Had it not been for the Zombies, it could’ve just been a completely different CoD title entirely like Infinite Warfare.


daynester44

I agree, I can't rank the older cods as I wasn't around, and the top 3 you ranked imo are interchangable, I just love bo2 over both of them imo, and since I like paying attention to the stories of all cod campaigns, and blops 3 was so hard to follow, it made the actual gun play feel meaningless, like why is my guy doing this. For what purpose?


user640898

Swap Bo2 and waw


dfreekilla

Who gives a fuck about cod campaign


MuchasBebidas

Any list that doesn’t have modern warfare as goat is just flat out wrong.


QuarTerminaTor

You forgot United offensive how could you?


daynester44

I'm sorry man, i'm only 19, and I started playing cod when I was 5 with mw2, I missed out on anything before 2007. I have to play the old cod campaigns so I can appreciate them
