OUR FAVORITE CALL OF DUTY GAMES OF ALL TIME

The Call of Duty franchise has become synonymous with first-person shooters, hailed as the game that revived the war shooter so many years ago and the series that, alongside Halo, made multiplayer shooters what it is today. But with over 20 games in the series, which ones should you play? Here is our list of the best COD games ever released.

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare 

The game that changed everything. In 2007 Infinity Ward changed the gaming landscape forever with the release of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. The COD series at that point was known as an authentic World War 2 shooter, perfecting the genre and becoming the best World War shooter on the market. 

Yet the formula was getting long in the tooth and the developers took a risk, and boy did it pay off. To this day Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is still seen as the best COD game ever made and for decades now developers have been trying to replicate the formula. With the release of the remastered version in 2016, gamers were once again reminded why the original Modern Warfare is still one of the greatest games ever made. If you are only going to play one COD game, then this is the one. An all-time classic.

Call of Duty: Warzone

The battle royale games have become the biggest in the world, from the start with PUBG to the world domination of Fortnite and Apex Legends. Naturally, publisher Activision wanted a slice of that pie and when they announced their own free-toplay battle royale COD release, many people were skeptical and dismissive. However, when Warzone dropped it became an instant hit, mixing the solid shooting mechanics of the main series with the battle royale formula, Warzone quickly became everyone’s favorite COD game, even those gamers that have not touched a game in the mainline series in years. And to Activision’s credit, Warzone brought quite a few new features to the battle royale party. 

With a streamlined loot system and an ingenious way to rejoin the fight in the Gulag, Warzone quickly joined the ranks of the other battle royale heavy hitters
