King of multiplayer and master of spectacle, Call of Duty set a pace, from Modern Warfare to its most explosive campaigns. RomWize re-ranks the best instalments by its re-evaluated scores, each with its current score, its versions, their rarity and their collector value.
"Call of Duty Black Ops II dares to go to 2025 with a branching narrative campaign and renewed competitive multiplayer. Memorable villains, original Strike Force. An ambitious CoD that delivers."
"Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 is one of the most impactful FPS of the generation. Spectacular and controversial campaign, multiplayer that changed everything with killstreaks and customisation. A monument."
"Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare revolutionised the modern FPS. Short but impactful campaign, multiplayer progression system that changed everything. All Ghillied Up remains one of the greatest FPS missions in history."
"Treyarch deliver one of the franchise peaks with a solid narrative, varied missions and a Zombies mode that turned into a cult favourite. Multiplayer is snappy and well balanced, and the campaign replays without a hint of fatigue."
"Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 concludes the MW trilogy with an epic worldwide campaign and refined multiplayer. Resounding ending to the Makarov arc, memorable maps, enriched create-a-class. An excellent CoD."
"Sledgehammer juice Call of Duty back up with the exo-suit and boosted jumps. The Kevin Spacey led campaign owns its blockbuster instincts, multiplayer gains real verticality, and the whole thing is a great unapologetic action ride."
"Call of Duty World at War is the darkest and most brutal WWII CoD. Intense Pacific and Eastern Front campaign, Zombies mode launched here for the first time. Founder of a major saga pillar."
"Call of Duty Ghosts builds a new mythology with a defeated American faction and a mascot dog. Original solo campaign, solid but less standout multiplayer. Honest CoD in a demanding saga."
"Call of Duty 3 is the WWII CoD from the PS3 launch era. Impressive launch graphics for the time, decent Normandy campaign, limited multiplayer. Historically important, technically dated."
"Call of Duty 2 still stands tall as a great game of landings and sweeping battles, with its trio of Allied campaigns and an evocative period feel. The smell of gunpowder, mud and snow is unforgettable."
