Starting off our countdown is Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. Released in 2016, the game was perhaps the most futuristic one at the time. During the single-player campaign, the battle was no longer set on Earth. Instead, we were duking it out in space. This change of pace was great to see. The overall execution was interesting enough to keep players playing the story mode until its completion. Looking over the multiplayer aspect of the game, it was one of the Call of Duty games that had a lot of fans complaining about the excessive movement during matches. With an emphasis on jetpacks and quick movements, it's hard to say Infinite Warfare is one of the better Call of Duty games.

The game that started it all: the original Call of Duty. It was released in 2003 for the PC and was revolutionary at the time. The game was one of the pioneers of the FPS genre, and we may not be where we are today if it wasn’t for Call of Duty. The game’s story mode was based in WW2 and followed three of the allied forces: the US, Great Britain, and the Soviet Union. Each of the missions for the allied forces was unique, and you never felt like you were repeating a mission. Activision used ideas such as the health bar, immersive sound design, and well-made weapons that really caught people’s eyes and elevated the series as soon as the game was released. It's hard to say just how much impact the first Call of Duty game had on the rest of the series, but if it wasn’t for this game, the FPS genre would not be where it is today.

The first entry into the famous Black Ops series was considered one of the best of all time when it was released in 2010. The story mode was set during the Cold War era between the Soviet Union and the United States. The story mode had some of the best scriptwriting in the series and was one that captivated and immersed fans in the series. Black Ops also saw massive improvements to Nazi Zombies. The creation of brand new maps and DLC maps throughout the year had fans constantly entertained. For many players, the most notable aspect of Black Ops is the multiplayer portion. The game introduced some of the best maps and weapons in the series. They also used a money system for unlocking items, which was another fun concept that Treyarch added. Overall, Black Ops is one of the most well-made Call of Duty games in the series.

Moving on to perhaps the most controversial one on our list, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is one of the most beloved games in the series. It was by far the best game in the series at the time. It was the first time they strayed away from the WW2 theme and introduced some modern concepts into the game. This was also the game where we meet some of the franchise’s most loved characters, including Captain Price who is still seen in Call of Duty games today and is the centerpiece of the series. The game’s multiplayer also reinvented the series, with maps such as Crash and Shipment being some of the most iconic maps in the history of online gaming. COD 4: Modern Warfare is truly one of the best Call of Duty and FPS games ever created.

The sequel to Modern Warfare essentially took everything that the game was exceptional at, and somehow made it better in every way. Taking a look at the single-player, Modern Warfare 2 had multiple story settings throughout a fictional world and some of the missions were some of the most memorable in the series. We picked up right where we left off in the first game, and through some jaw-dropping twists and turns, we're left wondering what’s next for the series at the end. Modern Warfare 2 also featured other notable characters that would be some of the most loved in the series: Ghost and Soap. We felt connected to them and Captain Price. Moving to the online portion of the game, Modern Warfare 2 featured improved maps from the first game along with an overall solid gameplay feel. The revised weapons and perks also felt great. Some weapons were much stronger than others, and it was never boring to play Modern Warfare 2. It's hard to come by a series that's so universally loved, and the Modern Warfare series is certainly one of them.

Black Ops 2 followed up on the Cold War story mode we played through in the original game and took it to a more futuristic setting. It was also the first story mode in the history of Call of Duty games that gave us narrative dialogue choices. Once again, they improved the zombies portion of the game. It had more maps and more components that made the experience better than the last. The multiplayer portion of Black Ops introduced the Pick-10 system that was very different than the standard class system used in previous games. The Pick-10 system offered fans some strategy in picking their classes to see what works with what and how they can better equip themselves. The gameplay in Black Ops 2 is by far the best in the series. The multiplayer experience is the heart and soul of this game. No other Call of Duty has been able to recreate the magic that Black Ops 2 has. Which is why Black Ops 2 takes the crown as best Call of Duty game of all time.
