Josh from Bag of Games writes "Despite the overwhelming negativity and downright cynical comments consistently bombarding each annual iteration of Activision’s juggernaut FPS franchise, Call of Duty has continued to shatter sales records, receive noteworthy commercial and critical success, and accumulate millions of increasingly devoted fans year after year thanks to its unwavering focus on cinematic, popcorn-mulching campaigns – that properly infuse action-packed setpiece moments with engaging, world-hopping narratives, and remarkably fluid, yet extremely addictive competitive and cooperative multiplayer modes. However, with Infinity Ward’s undeniably popular Modern Warfare trilogy meeting a satisfying conclusion and Treyarch’s familiar, but increasingly innovative Black Ops series presumably releasing another installment next year, it was only a matter of time before another subtitled entry graced the renown franchise everyone loves to hate. Cue Call of Duty: Ghosts, the latest series emerging from the figurative shadows of Infinity Ward’s development studio, and onto both current and next-gen consoles – releasing on both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One’s respective November launch dates – in an explosive spectacle of shrapnel, whirling bullets, and deafening gunfire."

COD has a long and storied career. Launching as a PC WW2 first-person shooter, Call of Duty has gone through numerous makeovers and been on just about every system. The series has gone through some serious highs and tragic lows. I’ll be looking at each Call of Duty game, the good the bad, and the ugly."
Vanguard better be at the fkn bottom. Can’t believe ppl haven’t eviscerated that game with all its lacking
Same for me.
I was never huge into Call of Duty, but I sunk a lot of time into WaW.
Both the campaign and the multiplayer are on point. Wouldn't mind a remaster.
I quit on CoD for a long while. Though I'm the odd man out that actually really enjoyed the campaign for WWII, being I got it through Humble monthly way back when.
I agree, The Infinite campaign feels more like it's own thing that they slapped the CoD name on. If it stood on it's own, (sans the CoD name) I think it could have been it's own scifi franchise. And a damn good looking game, to boot. I never bothered to play the multiplayer.
That was one I grabbed for Playstation because it pretty much just came out during the Redbox purge of videogames, and I got it for dirt cheap.
It was great coming home to an update every night, and watching one game eat up almost half my console's memory.
Will get disagrees but Infinite Warfare campaign was really good. Decent story, set pieces were amazing and if it didn't have the CoD game on it I'm sure people would have been more into it. Advanced Warfare was alright too. Titanfall 2 was just 1000 times better than both but I enjoyed them for their campaigns. I literally barely gaf about the story I'm in it for the set pieces and 5 hours of being stoned watching cool nonsense happen if I'm in the mood to play a CoD campaign. If I'm looking for a deep plot I'm gonna go somewhere else.
Ghosts was the worst story-wise though lol that cliffhanger ending was so bs.
Also MW 2019 was sick and is one of the best CoD games in yeeeears not sure why it's so low on this dude's list. Campaign was great, multiplayer was great and Warzone was fun for a while. Over it now but shrugs.
Beat the Vanguard campaign too but I can't even remember a single thing about it other than that it felt like it was 45 minutes long. Might be the most forgettable thing I've ever played lol just fully erased from my brain
Call of Duty multiplayer ranked from worst to best! 2019 is coming to a close and MP1st ranks the best COD multiplayer games this decade.

Wore implementation I've ever seen,.. guess it just does not work all that great on every engine
Agree, but this gives me hope that one day Ray Tracing can be a software based feature and not require some type of proprietary hardware to achieve. Software will always outpace Hardware so it could happen, but I feel like its going to take a lot more time to achieve the same level that RTX has already shown glimpses of so far. Really just waiting for Cyberpunk to see if RTX is actually something viable. I think if anybody can truly showcase RTX Features it would be Projekt Red.
Reshade is not raytracing, its a screen space post processing effect. Thats like calling SSAO "global illumination"
Isn't Neversoft working on a cod game? Hopefully it'll be better than this crap!
ghost is the worst game ever 3/10
You made several good points but I feel you were too generous with a 7.5/10 score.
