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

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

As someone who played CoD 3, it had an avarage shooter campaign, with a few better moments
hiccupboltHP
Personally I’d move MW3 up as it’s my favourite but other than that it’s great

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
Competitive-Deer-596
I’d put MWII in average.WWII in good,and WAW,COD 4 in GOATS.
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
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.
OpticDeity
WW2 campaign is easily top 3, and IW is easily#1 or #2
Ecko2310
GOATS would be for me COD 4 WAW MW2 AND BO 1.
Nothing has come close to them.
IDisappointPPL
World at war should easily be goated for the campaign
equalsolstice
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
TheCheesyOrca
COD 2 was a masterpiece, still play that over LAN with friends to this day. Loved the campaign too.
GrumpyOldMan742
Agree except for BO3. I’d say BO3 > MWIII > Vanguard.
Infamous_Judgment901
ww2 is very underrated
HypedSoul123
Its fine overall. I think WAW and MW2019 deserve to be 1 tier higher tho.
forrest1985_
WAW is too low. BO3>>Vandguard. MW22 is too high. IW is too low. COD4 is too low.
TheNorthman13K
Bruh WaW is to low
ROGUE_COSMIC
Swap advanced warfare and ghosts and it’s perfect
Narusasku
Changes I would make. WAW in goat tier and mw lll campaign is the worst so far.

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.
OmegaReign78
Infinite Warfare is easily GOAT tier. They actually succeeded in doing something different with that campaign, unlike this years offering.
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.
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*.
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
dukezap1
BOIII is a top 3 campaign, slander on Reddit is unacceptable 😤
u119c
Cold War is the top of the heap for me.
xBURROx
Mwlll need a double dip : Bad, worst campaign
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.

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

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

These are honestly good rankings in my opinion

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.

WW2 campaign is always underrated
