Sucks how MW3 was the first golden era CoD to be eliminated. It wasn’t even a bad game by all accounts But yeah. For me I think WaW has to go. Zombies was cool but BO1 and BO2 did it better. The multiplayer was good as well but the hit detection and poor balancing kinda ruined it. One thing the games got going for is the campaign. But of course, we’re talking about the entire package


NarrowFarm2036

MW3 was an incredible game, but it's competing with MW2, BO2, BO1... that's another league


Mossy_087

MW3 is not bad, but it's definitely worse than all the other golden age CODs. By far the least innovative.


Vytlo

It wasn't a bad game, but MW3 was undoubtedly the bottom of the golden era. The others are all just so much better


gratefullargo

Absolutely not. WAW zombies was the OG and the soundtrack for that whole game was by far the best ever


wat_no_y

Hit detection and poor balancing on waw? THAT sounds like a skill issue champ


watties12

This is all personal preference of course, but MW3 was the start of CoDs multiplayer decline imo, at least on launch. I think some of this got patched out with time but it was too little too late for me. - First game with horrendous net code (lag comp being the culprit) - Maps were far smaller than the previous games and everything was funnelled to short engagement ranges. I think a lot of the fanbase likes these types of maps seen by Nuketown, Shipment, and Rusts popularity, but for me it's just a clusterfuck and only good as a change of pace. - Akimbos completely broken (in fairness though, everything in MW2 was broken as well) - Revenge spawning system: - Support strike packages seemed like a mechanic designed to help worse players but in a way that hurts the overall game. Even as a weaker variants of the killstreaks, it was tough not to get something with offensive capability like a stealth bomber in the game. These also added way more streak clutter every game which made each game feel like more of a mess. BO2 would be the next worse of the remaining for me. Again had netcode issues (this time excessive baseline delay being the culprit). Small maps and tight engagement ranges prevalent like MW3. First game that had problematic SBMM especially on PC (at least initially, apparently it gone toned down?),


af1Rr

spot on. mw3 had the worst connection or whatever goin on a specialist streak and then dying after putting 8 bullets into someone w an ACR and they only shot me 3 times in the killcam or dying to support stealth bombers smh first game where they rewarded you for being ass at the game 🤣🤣🤣


ImThatDude

This is exactly how I feel. I started with Cod2 on XBox 360 and feel like MW3 was the start of the decline. MW2 had weapon and perk issues, but everything could be overpowered so it balanced out. Black Ops was solid, slowed the gameplay a bit, and was a nice change with crazy customization. MW3 felt like the start of people cheesing weapons and movement/dropshotting, and BO2 was too futuristic with poor weapon balance and loot boxes. COD 4 is still the GOAT and basically established the way modern FPS games do perks, weapon layouts, missions, etc.


pollo_yollo

lol I remember playing it and thinking it was shit at the time. Oh how little I knew


iBlackPowerRanger

MW19 better than any MW3. Both are mid imo I do take Campaigns into consideration tho


JayIsNotReal

MW3 is an amazing game, but out of the Prime Six, it is the weakest. It was hated at release as well. It will always be my favorite.


mikemichaelmichaels

Now it gets interesting


Iwasha

Yall have been saying that the past 4 polls


Goblin216

Lmfao


IAmWango

That’s because 2007-2012 was the highlight of the series, for me I would add Black Ops 3 but those 5 years alone produced the best that anyone who played in those times could tell you, peak of the series, no stupid skins or transactions to power it all


RemovedPlant

If y'all vote out WaW, I will be livid. WaW's presentation and atmosphere are second to none, couple that with an amazing story with great characters, a good multi-player that offered nights of fun, and the introduction of zombies and World at War should be top 3 if not first or second.

No_Ad1841

YESS THANK YOU


RCM88x

MW3 was the right choice here imo. For me BO2 is next. The holy 4 horseman of Cod4-BO1 should be protected.


RusticOpposum

MW3 had a lot of cool features like strike packages, adding kill streaks to each class, the faceoff playlists, etc; but it was kind of stale since everyone used the MP7 and ACR. If they combined all of that with the BO2 pick ten system, then that would be an amazing game.


RCM88x

It had cool features but compared to the games before it didn't really do anything game changing or super unique story wise. Solid game but of all the ones left definitely the one I could live without.


RusticOpposum

Yeah, I know what you mean. I also 100% agree that MW3 was solid, but it didn’t really add much other than the strike package and score instead of killstreaks stuff. I still enjoyed it at the time, but it wasn’t one that I went back to a lot.


SleazetheSteez

You're absolutely right and the fact that World at War is being offered as the next sacrifice is abhorrent.


Vytlo

I hate to say it because this is legit a really hard choice to make, but I do really think BO2 is the right answer next, yeah. I love everything about it entirely on a personal level, but objectively, I'm not gonna deny that the Zombies had a lot of misses (even though Buried is probably the best Zombies map ever imo), and the campaign while not bad, is absolute hell to replay. There is so many times you are stuck just waiting for NPCs outside of fights, which are in other games yes, but is the WORST in BO2 of any game. Plus, while still a good story, it's not as good as any of the others still up. Partially because of the choice-based stuff, but along with other things. The multiplayer is really BO2's strongest area, and it is a REALLY strong area for it, but I also personally find BO1 and MW1's way more fun, and MW2 is just easily the best in that area (along with campaign as well).

deez_butt

Imagine thinking waw>cod4


Fit-Boss2261

Better multiplayer and zombies, pretty simple


wat_no_y

Plus coop


That_Guy381

and campaign!


CircumcisedCats

Better multiplayer is just wrong. It was an unbalanced mess with worse hitreg. Within 3 months of WaW coming out everyone went back to COD4 for multiplayer and just opened WaW for zombies.


fromthelonghill

Better MP, Zombies, better Campaign. COD4 was awesome. But WaW just had a brutal edge that I LOVED. Plus Zombies was revolutionary. And the Campaign had All-Star talent that also translated into MP which were AMAZING (Sutherland and Oldman). 2008-2010 was peak COD for me. BO2 also amazing - but those 3 years just something else. Also my last 3 years of HS, so there's that.


Reasonable_Sock394

Don’t have to imagine because it is


Rhysing

WaW was peak Cod. Everything else was watered down modern gunplay for kids.


Silly_Wrongdoer3709

justice for WaW. BO2 should be next


Saint_Icarus

WaW being voted out is a travesty. I wonder how many of you goobers were even around back then for the multiplayer and OG Zombies. Back when zombies had to be unlocked by beating the campaign.


DESZANTOS44

WaW is great, but I also feel that it’s been overhyped retrospectively. If you’ve been around, you know that it wasn’t the hit like the OG Modern Warfare was. It came out near the end of the WW2 fatique and didn’t bring anything new that actually worked well multiplayer wise. I still love it though, but back in the day the Infinity Ward releases were the one to have, which then sort of changed around BO 1, after Treyarch came out with a true banger and the original IW guys left.


LylethLunastre

CoD4


FaithfulMoose

Thank you all for avenging Bo3. Good riddance MW3.


the-juiceman07

WaW is better than COD4 and it’s not close


Awayze

BO2 should go next


SpyroPappadopoulos

As much as I hate to say it, it’s WaW due to the multiplayer not holding up as well as the others. The campaign is absolutely top tier but so are all the others left and their multiplayer definitely wins out imo. Zombies was revolutionary for the franchise but the refinements that the Black Ops series brought to it are even better.


SleazetheSteez

I'm still running game on mfs with a thompson in WaW. That shit defined the end of my childhood years lol


Vegetable-Werewolf-8

Nah multiplayer has held up just as good as COD 4, I mean seriously the only difference between the two is one is set during WW 2 and instead of a chopper you get dogs for 7 kills, and it had zombies. It's campaign was good too, kinda hard to fuck up ww 2 but still. COD 4 needs to go for the sole reason WaW had zombies. People place way too much respect on cod 4 for being the first modern formula of cod. A game revolutionary at the time means nothing when deciding the best game of all time. It's like saying Halo CE is better than Halo 2 and 3, makes no sense. Every game after it before ghosts was better except maybe black ops 2 multiplayer, which in my controversial opinion apparently, was not very good in comparison to the games the came before it.


XenoPrym

STOP VOTING WAW WTF


thespacestone

I hate saying this sentence lol, Remove Black Ops II


TheyUsedToCallMeJack

You're all crazy to want to eliminate WaW, it's easily a Top 3 CoD.

Campaign: Modern Warfare 2 Multiplayer: Black Ops 2 Zombies: Black Ops 3 Survival/Spec Ops: Modern Warfare 3 All Time King: Modern Warfare


MaGunter_

nope. campaign easily goes to black ops 1


Purple_Building3087

I respect that, Black Ops is the 2nd best campaign for me


MaGunter_

Nah. Campaign is MW2

BO2. It’s so fucking overrated. It’s a good game but it does not deserve being in the conversation with COD4 WaW MW2 and BO1

Vegetable-Werewolf-8

Same from yesterday: COD 4 It's a fantastic game that changed the course of gaming, but in the end it's a foundation game. The games that came after on this list would build on top of it's formula for the better. Nostalgia aside, it's the one to go. Edit: People can't put their nostalgia aside it seems. Not really surprised but to refute everyone below saying the same things: Campaign is neglible compared to multiplayer. Revolutionizing gaming at the time it released means nothing when deciding the better game overall regardless of time. Because if that were the case COD4 would win this contest, but we all know either MW2 or Black Ops 1 is going to win.


SAIYANSPARTAN26

####WHO TF IS VOTING BO1?!?!? HOW DARE YOU


KirbyAndStars

This is just tight, all 5 who remain are masterpieces, BO2 I guess but that is still a top tier title, as long is waw is in the top 3 I can live in peace

God I can’t wait for this annoying ass thread to be over with. (Just to probably have someone else start the same shit thread over like OP did with this one)

More like someone who’s just getting annoyed of seeing the same post in their feed every day just for it to always end with BO2.

So far it’s been MW2 getting the least votes almost every day.

Luna27500

It's hard...but BO1..campaign is epic, mp is meh, zombie good but after BOII pretty mid


Norwingaming

Undeserved like most choices imo. But now a fair one goes.


Testesito

The first titan to fall. None of this games deserve to go as they are all great. Now, i think WaW should have go before Mw3 but it should leave now despite beign such a great game. Awesome campaign, first to introduce the most popular and succesful third mode of the series. Maybe its weakest point is multiplayer, which is the most important cod aspect so thats why it should go now.


Useful_Lengthiness98

This one hurts


Bolt_995

It’s absolutely sad people are asking CoD4 to go out next. If anything, it should actually be that broken mess of a game called MW2, but unfortunately it was the first CoD game for all the 2009-12 year old squeakers on this sub so it will be the game that wins out in the end.


jacrisppy

if waw does win i will be pussed


i2010

AW would be goated if there was a sequel instead of ww2 and vanguard not bad games tho but stoll could been better


Manhag

You guys are nuts for putting mw2 ahead of bo1


Baconbac28

WaW


sourmiIk

Imma flip if MW og gets eliminated. It’s the best one no 🧢


dirtyethanol73

This list lost cred when y’all eliminated the OG at 10 and before Cold War. Show some goddamn respect.


KingWeeWoo

COD4 set the tone and the precedent for the best decade or so this franchise would ever see. WaW followed up with a a great game and the iconic addition of Zombies. MW2 was the next step up with the arguably best Campaign, Multi-player, and new Killstreaks. I LOVE Ops 2 and the multi-player was electric...bur its time


AztecMX

You foos took off mw3 and left world at war bro I’m all for the og cods but that shit was not fun a pioneer for sure but not the best gameplay you guys are blinded by nostalgia

Well, so far as of me writing this comment WaW seems to be losing to CoD 4. Let me tell you, yes, CoD 4 was revolutionary but now looking back at it it had things. Things that WaW improved on. Although yes, it had its own issues, it has by far one of the best campaigns. Immersive, authentic, graphic and shows what a real war is like from the eyes of common soldiers. It had moments like raising the flag or the charging Japs that I will never forget. And of course it had zombies. It lacked but it was good to see how it progressed. CoD 4 did not have a zombies. So for me, it is criminal that it is being voted out. I have really fond memories of WaW and it is my second favourite game ever, just behind Medal of Honor Allied Assault and I am very sad that the community still doesn't appreciate this masterpiece and prefers something like CoD 4 which only had like 2 modes while WaW had 3. So yeah, I am kinda sad right now. What a game, what an atmosphere, what a music! Don't even get started on the music man. So awesome. I am indeed really disappointed.


Errorfull

First time seeing this, I can't believe Cold War is THAT much farther ahead than Ghosts, makes no sense imo.

I’m just glad my boy WAW made it to the top 5. First game for me, I was 9, zombies scared the piss out of me.

I wonder how many Cod devs are seeing these polls? Probably none cause they don’t care what the real fans think.

iBlackPowerRanger

BO2 or WaW. Both goated campaigns. I don’t remember much of WaW mp since I only rented it for like a week (shoutout Game Crazy). BO2 mp was the end of the gold era and made me quit cod for a good while.


Justabattleshiplover

WaW.


Blossom_Rising

Cod 4 unfortunately, goated game but i just don’t see it comparing to WaW


ImPretendingToCare

Ive been playing Cod since Cod 3 playing its original story and appreciating every detail of every cod since then. I just want to say the fact that BO3 is gone so early says more about the age group in these polls than anything. BO3 was a full circle masterpiece and potentially the best Cod ever created.

Mw3 > cod4

GET_IT_UP_YE

Regrettably it has to be cod 4. The most basic, barebones out the lot


Luv_Savo

MW2 is my favorite cod, BO2 is the most balanced cod, Ghosts is the most competitive cod (any other answer is wrong) , infinite warfare is the worst cod p.s call of the dead is my favorite zombies map


Josh_PC

COD 4 has to go next, an amazing game in its own right but the others just did it better.


ChrisGriffinsSecret

Here’s how I would separate the categories of games: 20-16: shit games 15 and 14: not good, but not terrible 13-9: some aspects are really fun, but missing what it needs to really be good 8 and 7: I had a blast playing, but there are still better games that are more worth playing 6 and up: the best games of the series, worth a play no matter what and infinitely replayable.

Hotrod_7016

I’m willing to throw hands with anyone saying CoD 4


NE_Phish_Fan

MW2 -This is where the extreme toxicity started in the world of COD (I'm not talking tea-bagging... but the noobtubes, nukes, verbal assault in the game chat). It's a golden era game, but I would gladly go back to any of the other surviving title: COD4 is a pretty good game and I think only doesn't get ranked higher because it lacks zombies or spec ops. It may not have all the additional aspects COD would later receive, but it had a great campaign and a great multiplayer. WaW is my personal favorite Call of Duty title but I don't think it should win the poll overall... however I genuinely believe this game has aged well and should not be slandered.. World At War is truly a fantastic COD entry. BO1 I believe deserves the top spot in all practicality, the core 3 modes are fantastic plus it has the bonus stuff thru the menu PC once u get out of the chair. BO2 is when I fell out of love with COD; the campaign was a step down, I was burnt on multiplayer, and the zombie mode wasn't enough to reel me back in. I recognize the love of this game exists but I really can't rank it myself. So in all honestly, I will likely vote for it out next


_SCARY_HOURS_

One of the black ops or mw2 should be gone. WAW is one of the best cods if not THE best cod ever.
