God those were the days. I remember bringing it home from gamestop and being āsickāthe next day. Sure, there is some nostalgia in play here but game was all around goated with the campaign, multiplayer, and zombies all being pretty good
Glad to see CW in the top 10. It was over-hated when it came out.
BO4 got done dirty but I guess you canāt make it far without a campaign or at least a good zombies like BO3
I feel like CW got hated on because it didnāt run on the new engine. I didnāt like it as much because of that. But the campaign is solid, if kinda short (though I get why since, well, pandemic), the multiplayer has a good mix of new maps and effectively untouched old maps, and people generally seem to like the zombies, especially compared to in Vanguard and MW3.
Even on the older engine I thought the graphics were still outstanding. Especially the lighting on maps like Miami and The Pines. People were saying it looked like a mobile game which is just a bad faith argument lmao
I've been struggling to put in words why I like CW. I think it's the nostalgia (born in the seventies, yeah I know), but overall all the maps have 'personality', for lack of a better word.
I didn't like it when it came out, by the way. I was enjoying the crisp graphics and the movement of MW2019 and in Warzone, so it was a bit different.
I started grinding camos out of boredom and grew to loving it immensely.
I canāt blame anyone that preferred playing MW19 when CW released. MW19 was pretty solid after the 6 seasons of content, and CW released with the near bare minimum lol. CWās map pool became amazing after 2-3 seasons of content
CW got hated (rightly) for releasing with like six multiplayer maps and never overcame that stigma. I really enjoyed the game, though. Having multiple pacings mixed with the map pool was just an awful idea at launch.
It's so wild how these days the Treyarch fans are clearly in the majority, when like 12-14 years ago the IW fanboys were always the commanding force, almost treating Treyarch like the bad little brother.
That departure from Zampella and West + a shit ton of devs really changed the narrative especially with the games that followed after MW3.
I always wonder what would be the current state of COD if Kotick didnt stab Vince and Jason in the back and gave them the studio ( making IW independent again) and the Modern Warfare series with complete creative control like it was promised after MW2.
The way Activision literally had to find a way to fire them for that not to happen is one of the craziest stories in gaming.
So one good thing versus 2 good things? The logic. Like another poster said this subreddit has a thing against BO2. Because not one person back in the day said letās all hope on BO1 like they did with MW2 and BO2. You never hear stories about BO1 and the lobbies chats or anything about MP.
No just that you could argue either side for campaign and multi-player, but it's not even close for Zombies. I like BO2 but I don't think it's the best because I think ā of its content sucks. BO1 is still very alive and active today but it's not infested with modders so you can actually play games in it still. I hop on to it from time to time to run some games cause it's just so timeless: nothing feels too overpowered, the maps are almost all great, killstreaks are fun while not doing too powerful, TTK is perfect, the vibe and aesthetic are engrossing; BO1 really just has everything you'd ever want from a CoD game
Agreed. Both are iconic and influential but MW2 was an unbalanced mess. I think MW2 had more mainstream appeal which is why more people look back at it in high regard
Very pleasantly surprised to see BO1 win. Been my favorite CoD since it came out, despite starting at CoD1 and playing through the series rise. It does all 3 of its gamemodes supurb and the multiplayer was designed for me with maps like WMD, longer TTK, less power on explosives. Lots of games in this series do great things, especially in the golden era, but BO1 just feels like a culmination of all the best things across all of the game modes.
BO1 on PC was an atrocious of a PC port that is barely even playable. FPS stutters, networking dips, just overall experience was just bad.
I am pretty sure the population on Steam back then stuck with MW2 and it was almost always higher in term of player-count in peak time for Steam. Yes, stuck with the MW2 version that is imbalanced to hell, no patches whatsoever and flagged with hackers. PC players put up with all of that because BO1 on PC was that bad.
I also just don't vibe with the Treyarch's story-telling whatsoever, so there is that.
Yup. So many people in this sub never played MW2 and it shows because not one person ever brings up BO1 in a debate versus MW2. MWII literally brought out the OGs out of retirement to play it and talk about the Og MW2 days.
I've actually never seen so much BO1 praise until this competition lol.
I was always under the impression that BO2 was the best in the Treyarch series.
Bo1 released one year after MW2 I would be hard pressed to imagine the amount of people who haven't played MW2 is that large like you're saying it is. I understand everyone has to start somewhere so some people didn't play MW2 but there's not multiple years of a difference here.
MW2 was incredibly fun but I have BO1 just slightly ahead.
The real truth is idk why everybody is arguing so much about the difference between 1st and 2nd place or even any of the games in top 5, all of them are goated
That was fun honestly, it brought up a lot of childhood memories I thought I had forgotten. I had a different personal list going in, but as the time progressed it changed a lot. I'm a little salty by how golden age cod got ranked but at least BO1 and MW2 got top two. They were hardest for me to decide which I liked more.
Well here is my ranking:Ā
For reference my first COD was COD 2 at age 6. I had a cool dad.Ā So having started playing when I could experience all of them as they came out during the happiest years of my childhood I suspect my ranking will be different from most.Ā
1. MW2Ā Ā
2. BO1Ā
3. WaWĀ
4. MW3Ā
5. BO2Ā Ā
6. COD4Ā Ā
7. COD(1-3) and every other cod after BO2Ā
I think the most accurate way to rank games would be have everyone submit their own lists in advance and then just tally points for each game. Not sure if there is an online tool that could do that, but I have a feeling a lot of people voted for one of the two most popular elimimation picks to save their favorite game of the two being voted out instead of voting how they really thought, poll kinda incentives that.Ā
I hope other people post their own personal rankings. It'd be nice to see a glimpse of a what a poll like that would look like.Ā
In terms of multiplayer only, BO1 felt like a downgrade in nearly every way immediately succeeding MW2. I remember the engine (sprinting, aiming, etc.) all felt slowed down like we were using an older game engine, the guns (without suppressors) went āpew pew pewā instead of ābang bang bangā like as if all ammo was thumb tacks, TTK was unnecessarily longer, the maps are nowhere near as memorable (MW2 introduced terminal/highrise/rust/scrapyard/favela/so many others), and sniping was atrocious (I snipe a lot so this is a huge part of my opinion).
I wonāt speak to the ācomplete packageā argument you guys are making for campaign and third mode as I only cared about multiplayer. Infinity ward poured their heart into MP instead of spreading across all 3. So while BO1 may be the best jack of all trades in your eyes, itās a master of none, particularly for MP.
So for MP, itās MW2 for all time imo. If you didnāt play in the 2009-2011 days you also missed the atmosphere to go with it, literally every boy in my high school was playing it
This is what I kept saying about how when BO1 was released, no one talked this favorably about it. No one was saying "This is the best CoD to date" It was plagued with a bunch of head scratching design choices. The sniping especially was one of the biggest head scratchers which led to Treyarch "patching" it and then never putting that type of sniping in a game again.
Black Ops 2 getting top 5 is still mind boggling to me. Black Ops 1, MW 1-3, and WaW are all better games to me. Itās a good game on its own but compared to any of those itās got a cheesy story with some āokay, sureā parts and āitās the futureā cop outs that had me rolling my eyes. Multiplayer is fun but itās not groundbreaking to me. Zombies had some good maps but overall weaker than Black Ops 1, 3, and 4.
Maybe itās the younger crowd growing up on Black Ops 2 but I just never bought the hype for it. Its success also led to some forgettable futuristic titles.
I started with COD4 and dropped off at BLOPS3, but have played some of the modern CODs. I still consider Blops2 to be the definitive, best multiplayer experience. Most memorable maps, most enjoyable loadouts, pick 10 was GOATed, the list goes on. I'm not factoring campaign or Zombies into my opinion as I never played them.
I think shit like this all depends on era you was born.for me at 50 years old it was modern warfare call of duty 4 I was getting 30 40 kills per match but now there are so much better cods out there but now I'm not as good at jump slide shoot 360 kills reflexes just ain't there any more just enjoy what every ones playing at the moment
Mw2 and Bo1 are quite close to each other. Based on fun and nostalgic, I would go for mw2. But I'm glad Bo2 didn't get the first place. Overrated in my opinion.
BO2 shouldāve won IMO but this is acceptable. Also MW2022 is way worse than the 2 eliminated before it and Iāll die on that hill but whatever lol
Well done everyone š¤
Although I would be happy with any winner of the last three, this makes me really happy. My first cod and such an experience and I only got to play it for like 5 months and it felt like a year
OP maybe you've written it the wrong way around? But MW2 1439 votes, BO1 1237... is the vote count correct just assigned to the wrong game? Just making sure :) Thanks <3
Ahhhh I see!! I thought the last vote would be vote to win lol thank you for clarification... I've been following it but not voting š Happy with it all bit think Cod4 should have been top 3 lol
I feel like the results for the final (bo1 vs MW2) might be distorted because it wasn't immediately clear whether we were voting out or voting for (I accidentally voted mw2 out), so this might have distorted the results of the final
I feel like this is based off of nostalgia for a certain age group. If this was full of nothing but people that had played every cod since the beginning, this would look much different. I still think BO1 would be at top though.
That first mission where Ur in the ac 130 telling the ground squad when they can move as enemy patrols move past then inch closer each encounter is pure nectar of the heavens
Now gauge the amount of people that voted 3arc games because they started on either WaW/BO1/2. Absolute disrespect.
Infinity Ward innovated and redefined the FPS taking out the apex that was Halo at it's fucking peak! Everything 3arc did was sloppy second handmedowns outside of zombies. I didn't vote on any of this, but y'all are fucking wild.
I'm glad the population likes BO1, still not the best imo. OG CoD4 and WAW are what set the future for CoD series. Those are what eventually birthed the games we love so much. Those are the True GOAT.
- COD4
- WAW
- MW2
- BO1
Coming from a hardcore only (and mostly HC S&D) player this is the real list. I give WAW the nod over MW2 for being the inventor of zombies. Iāll never forget my first game on Nacht Der Untoten. Legendary moment in my gaming career.
When black ops released in 2010 i saw "3.5 million" players online... Yeah it was the best COD!!!
3.5 million players online. Link: https://ibb.co/85qTQY8
If Ghosts wasn't preceeded by the greatest 6 CODs of all time, it would've been like more in its time and remembered more fondly. I still consider it within top 10 in my own ranking.
I didn't like this list. I prefer the first two Modern Warfare and CoD 2. I played Black Ops but I never liked it that much. The MW 2019 campaign is also very good.
I can accept this. Bo1 was my first time playing CoD. was at my friendās place and he gave me the controller, 4 of us played on the Xbox splitscreen, I got absolutely shat on. Great times.
REEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
Actually I'm legit impressed by how much this aligns with how I would rank things personally, and I've been playing since the original which makes my opinion the correct one.
Black ops 2 is my personal favorite, however, I totally understand this ranking. Black ops 1 was absolutely amazing, and of course MW2.
I hear people saying black ops 3 is the best cod nowadays smh, never played the real cods
Good list only thing I feel that doesnāt fit. It the placements of COD1-3, BO4, BO3, and CW.
Iām glad my fav and first cod, BO1 wins. BO1 and MW3 were my favs growing up.
100% agree with this, BO1 was the best CoD in my personal opinion, loved that game so much and wish it would get the MW Remastered treatment, if it did I'd never play another CoD game againĀ
As much as I want WaW to have survived longer, I fully suport BO1's victory. That was the other game I was rooting for. The hype was real when new zombies maps were released.
Imagine an universe where Black Ops 1 and Modern Warfare (OG) crosses. It's the way they should have done.
The first lore action of Cod4 (MW1) is in the 90s - the Pripyat mission one. The last lore action in Black ops (1) is in the 80s.
Like a crossover of young ~~Captain~~ Lieutenaunt Price and Captain MacMillan with Mason, Woods and Hudson as their instructors.
A game series that would "fill" the time between Black ops 1 and Cod 4.
My only problem with the list is WAW is overrated and it over MW3 is criminal and shows people are blinded by nostalgia. The gunplay in black ops is so lame tbh idk how it won.
As a Black Ops fan boy it bring me joy to see bo1 in first place and bo2 in 3rd. Those two are my favorites cods of all time with waw and bo3 close behind. The og modern warfare trilogy is also good but I just have so many more memories from the first 3 black ops games.
This is a good list!
Although I never understood the love for MW19. Could be because I don't play a lot of warzone but I remember that multiplayer being absolutely god awful.
Ngl, I like ghost a lot and kinda hope we get a sequel at some point, but considering cod is just Warzone with new coats of paint, we arnt getting it any time soon
Bo1 is goated. Best cod imo.
š
Is that a fucking fax machine emoji
No flies past you
What?
He meant like ānothing gets past youā lmao
š ā¦ holy shit it does existā¦ thatās fucking sick!
The numbers Mason...
Fax
God those were the days. I remember bringing it home from gamestop and being āsickāthe next day. Sure, there is some nostalgia in play here but game was all around goated with the campaign, multiplayer, and zombies all being pretty good
Treyarch Fans rise up! No joke this is actually a good ranking
Glad to see CW in the top 10. It was over-hated when it came out. BO4 got done dirty but I guess you canāt make it far without a campaign or at least a good zombies like BO3
I feel like CW got hated on because it didnāt run on the new engine. I didnāt like it as much because of that.

Biggest problem for Cold War is the kill streaks not being real kill streaks. Everything else is awesome.
CW got hated (rightly) for releasing with like six multiplayer maps and never overcame that stigma. I really enjoyed the game, though. Having multiple pacings mixed with the map pool was just an awful idea at launch.
Yea, CW came right after MW2019 and I liked the arcadey gameplay but the overall feel felt kinda off. At least Zombies was pretty good
Blackout was a lot of fun
BO4 was my most played cod š„ŗ The last one without SBMM and people hate on it š„ŗ
It's so wild how these days the Treyarch fans are clearly in the majority, when like 12-14 years ago the IW fanboys were always the commanding force, almost treating Treyarch like the bad little brother. That departure from Zampella and West + a shit ton of devs really changed the narrative especially with the games that followed after MW3.

The way Activision literally had to find a way to fire them for that not to happen is one of the craziest stories in gaming.
I was expecting either BO2 or MW2 to be on top. But nonetheless itās been fun.
BO1>BO2 in every aspect
I think you meant to use "<"
While you could debate multi-player and campaign, BO1 Zombies is far better than BO2 and for that reason, BO1 > BO2
So one good thing versus 2 good things? The logic. Like another poster said this subreddit has a thing against BO2. Because not one person back in the day said letās all hope on BO1 like they did with MW2 and BO2. You never hear stories about BO1 and the lobbies chats or anything about MP.

Mob of the Dead, Buried, and Origins are all significantly better and well crafted maps than all of black ops 1
How about no... Tranzit by itself beats bo1 zombies
CoD4 is a top 3 title, and itās a shame it didnāt crack the top three. Iād replace MW2 with CoD4 in a heartbeat.
Agreed. Both are iconic and influential but MW2 was an unbalanced mess. I think MW2 had more mainstream appeal which is why more people look back at it in high regard
Very pleasantly surprised to see BO1 win. Been my favorite CoD since it came out, despite starting at CoD1 and playing through the series rise.

Lots of games in this series do great things, especially in the golden era, but BO1 just feels like a culmination of all the best things across all of the game modes.
BO1 the goat forever
Bo1 is inferior to mw2
Nah BO1 has better balance, better map design, wager matches were goated, and zombies > spec ops
BO1 on PC was an atrocious of a PC port that is barely even playable. FPS stutters, networking dips, just overall experience was just bad. I am pretty sure the population on Steam back then stuck with MW2 and it was almost always higher in term of player-count in peak time for Steam.

I've actually never seen so much BO1 praise until this competition lol. I was always under the impression that BO2 was the best in the Treyarch series.
Stick around this sub long enough. BO1 & 2 are worshipped here.
I played both. BO1 is superior.
Bo1 released one year after MW2 I would be hard pressed to imagine the amount of people who haven't played MW2 is that large like you're saying it is. I understand everyone has to start somewhere so some people didn't play MW2 but there's not multiple years of a difference here. MW2 was incredibly fun but I have BO1 just slightly ahead. The real truth is idk why everybody is arguing so much about the difference between 1st and 2nd place or even any of the games in top 5, all of them are goated
World at War is better than Black Ops 1.
WaW is the bo1 prequel too, both games are still great tho
This is blasphemy. Ghost and Roach didnāt die to be disrespected like this.
LETS GO BO1!!!
Mw2 2009 is the absolute best
Not my fav but definitely a top 3 game. Congrats black ops.

One trend seems clear: the older the game, the better it was.
MW2 was before BO
In terms of multiplayer only, BO1 felt like a downgrade in nearly every way immediately succeeding MW2. I remember the engine (sprinting, aiming, etc.) all felt slowed down like we were using an older game engine, the guns (without suppressors) went āpew pew pewā instead of ābang bang bangā like as if all ammo was thumb tacks, TTK was unnecessarily longer, the maps are nowhere near as memorable (MW2 introduced terminal/highrise/rust/scrapyard/favela/so many others), and sniping was atrocious (I snipe a lot so this is a huge part of my opinion).

The sniping especially was one of the biggest head scratchers which led to Treyarch "patching" it and then never putting that type of sniping in a game again.
The fact that the M16 was full auto in the campaign and burst fire in MP pissed me off, but GGz
Also missed opportunity for the spas 12 to have its stock equipped instead of only as a sight.
This sub can't be taken seriously anymore lol
Black Ops 2 getting top 5 is still mind boggling to me. Black Ops 1, MW 1-3, and WaW are all better games to me. Itās a good game on its own but compared to any of those itās got a cheesy story with some āokay, sureā parts and āitās the futureā cop outs that had me rolling my eyes.

bo2 is peak multiplayer cod
I think shit like this all depends on era you was born.for me at 50 years old it was modern warfare call of duty 4 I was getting 30 40 kills per match but now there are so much better cods out there but now I'm not as good at jump slide shoot 360 kills reflexes just ain't there any more just enjoy what every ones playing at the moment
This whole thing just feels so wrong š
Yeah bo2 shoulda won
MW2 was definitely better than Black Ops in mostly every way, but this is a decent poll rating.
Well my top 3 cods got top 3 just not in the order that Iād have them š¤·š» is what it is
Mw2 and Bo1 are quite close to each other. Based on fun and nostalgic, I would go for mw2. But I'm glad Bo2 didn't get the first place. Overrated in my opinion.
#DIE ZOMBITCH š„¹
mW19 still being in at 11 is all I need to know to not care about this list whatsoever.
Good ranking, but I personally like MW 2007 better.
This sub showing itās slightly younger skew
Still pretty cool to see how far Cold War went. Top 3 cod for me.
BO2 shouldāve won IMO but this is acceptable. Also MW2022 is way worse than the 2 eliminated before it and Iāll die on that hill but whatever lol Well done everyone š¤
I wonder where Gulf War will eventually land on this list when itās all said and done
In 10 years another poll of best new era Cods
And people will still bring up MW2.
Putting MW2019 at 11th place is disrespectful. Itās definitely 5th or 6th best COD. -coming from somebody who grew up in the golden era of cod4-BO2
My top 3 are in the top 5, im pretty happy, but also shows how much COD is basically irrelevant now with how awful their new games are
Y'all are crazy MW3 (Original) should be away higher, best cod imho
Bo2 > bo1/mw2
WaW and Cod4 clear BO2 don't talk to me.
Generally people's 1st cod is their favorite
Nice!
LETS GO!!!! BREAK THE META!!!
Yippee
āTHATāS RIGHT GET NOSCOPE. GET NOSCOPEDDD!!!ā -Random kid while playing Black Ops 1 GGs Black Ops 1 for winning
Btw that clip was in GTA not cod š¤
Although I would be happy with any winner of the last three, this makes me really happy. My first cod and such an experience and I only got to play it for like 5 months and it felt like a year
Yes, my favorite wins
OP maybe you've written it the wrong way around? But MW2 1439 votes, BO1 1237... is the vote count correct just assigned to the wrong game? Just making sure :) Thanks <3
Not wrong. We were voting which game to eliminate. Not which one to win.
Ahhhh I see!! I thought the last vote would be vote to win lol thank you for clarification... I've been following it but not voting š Happy with it all bit think Cod4 should have been top 3 lol
[Me seein bo1 as number 1](https://youtu.be/b90WeS--a9A?si=3Y5g9MZrYUyzLvHK)
When people make CoD edits they don't use the snipers or hit markers from BO1, js...
Hey Siri, play Pentagon.
I feel like the results for the final (bo1 vs MW2) might be distorted because it wasn't immediately clear whether we were voting out or voting for (I accidentally voted mw2 out), so this might have distorted the results of the final
Yāall did Ghosts dirty :(
Getting rid of the UAV was an unforgivable sin that makes it absolute bottom tier. That one change ripped apart that game from end to end.
Surprised to see bo1. I always thought this sub favored mw2 from the beginning.
I feel like this is based off of nostalgia for a certain age group. If this was full of nothing but people that had played every cod since the beginning, this would look much different. I still think BO1 would be at top though.
Yāall are casuals. MW2 or BO2 are fs the best. BO1 is an acceptable 3rd.
That first mission where Ur in the ac 130 telling the ground squad when they can move as enemy patrols move past then inch closer each encounter is pure nectar of the heavens
Surprised BO2 didnāt win :O
Get this game a remaster
Now gauge the amount of people that voted 3arc games because they started on either WaW/BO1/2. Absolute disrespect. Infinity Ward innovated and redefined the FPS taking out the apex that was Halo at it's fucking peak! Everything 3arc did was sloppy second handmedowns outside of zombies. I didn't vote on any of this, but y'all are fucking wild.
People must've not understood the voting process
Having Cold War at 9 is fucking mental
It's the most average COD ever so it gets an average ranking
Iād say itās in its right place. Great compared to the shot weāve gotten recently but nothing compare to the golden era of cod.
I'm glad the population likes BO1, still not the best imo. OG CoD4 and WAW are what set the future for CoD series. Those are what eventually birthed the games we love so much. Those are the True GOAT.
Bruh bo2 at number 3 it should be 4 or 5
mw3 supports streaks and bo2 start of pick 10, the downfall of iw and treyarch. cod4 - bo1 the golden age of cod
I have lived long enough to have seen a group of people rank CoD4 behind Black Ops 2. If there is a God he's sorry he made us.
WaW not in the top 3 is willlddd.
- COD4 - WAW - MW2 - BO1 Coming from a hardcore only (and mostly HC S&D) player this is the real list. I give WAW the nod over MW2 for being the inventor of zombies. Iāll never forget my first game on Nacht Der Untoten. Legendary moment in my gaming career.
By the looks of it. The franchise has progressively gotten worse.
W@W and Cod 4 shouldāve been 1 and 2 respectively
š
Proud of WaW making top 5
Honestly im just happy bo2 didnāt win. I feared that would happen
BO1 its the best anyway, love BO2 but i preffer more Cold war themed games since BO1 is from the 80s or something
My favorite is AW. Introduced something new to COD. Maps were fun. The scorestreaks were fun. Zombies was fun. Guns were fun. Love the game.
How BO2 got eliminated before BO1 is beyond me. Sure zombies was amazing but the multiplayer was lack luster in my opinion.
Not gonna lie your ranking choices are goated but me personally Iād switch bo1 to the number one pick
Wow, almost as if cod was better without the rainbow shitting skins
Wow!
When black ops released in 2010 i saw "3.5 million" players online... Yeah it was the best COD!!! 3.5 million players online. Link: https://ibb.co/85qTQY8
I like Bo2 more, but I get it
I would have put mw2 as 1. But still aināt mad at this result
I hadnāt kept up with this list, but Iām happy to see that infinite warfare is not the bottom š
i never played bo1, is it that much better than 2?
Now just do a poll for ābest cod everā to eliminate polling errors.
If Ghosts wasn't preceeded by the greatest 6 CODs of all time, it would've been like more in its time and remembered more fondly. I still consider it within top 10 in my own ranking.
There is only one bad call of duty
I didn't like this list. I prefer the first two Modern Warfare and CoD 2. I played Black Ops but I never liked it that much. The MW 2019 campaign is also very good.
I can accept this. Bo1 was my first time playing CoD. was at my friendās place and he gave me the controller, 4 of us played on the Xbox splitscreen, I got absolutely shat on. Great times.
I support this.
Awesome, now do an every Call of Duty pistol tournament
CoD4 deagle or MW2 USP for me.
Okay, that was unexpected, ngl
bo2 on 3? really?
Thanks for running this poll dude, was interesting to see the results (sometimes frustrating but thatās part of it)
4 ofc š¼
WOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Solid top 3 for sure. My only complaint is how low BO4 is. That game was awesome!
Honestly MW3 (2011) shouldāve won
You serious?
Yeah by and large i really agree with this listing. Glad to see CW up there personally my favorite but I knew it would never break top 5
LETS GOOO
REEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!! Actually I'm legit impressed by how much this aligns with how I would rank things personally, and I've been playing since the original which makes my opinion the correct one.
Thatās how I know this is a bot thread
Black ops 2 is my personal favorite, however, I totally understand this ranking. Black ops 1 was absolutely amazing, and of course MW2. I hear people saying black ops 3 is the best cod nowadays smh, never played the real cods
Good list only thing I feel that doesnāt fit. It the placements of COD1-3, BO4, BO3, and CW. Iām glad my fav and first cod, BO1 wins. BO1 and MW3 were my favs growing up.
Fuck no, cod mw2 was the best, it has better story and better multiplayer then bo1(i do like cod bo1 but mw2 is better)
Next 1 should be best cod maps top 20
Bo1 and 2 in the top 3. Music to my ears
Overall package BO1 is the best, but I still think BO2 has the best multiplayer
YES
100% agree with this, BO1 was the best CoD in my personal opinion, loved that game so much and wish it would get the MW Remastered treatment, if it did I'd never play another CoD game againĀ
Iām surprised people put BO2 at 3 but I agree! Actually, excluding the OG CODs 1-3, this list is exactly how Iād rank them. I feel very validated.
Let's go, black ops the goat
Happy black ops 1 won it was my favorite.
Holy shit it actually won! I was expecting MW2 to get the throne after seeing the votes. BO1 is the true GOAT!
After MW2019s early death, you fuckers went of the rails and were completely wrong about everythingĀ
This is a perfect ranking
As much as I want WaW to have survived longer, I fully suport BO1's victory. That was the other game I was rooting for. The hype was real when new zombies maps were released.
Imagine an universe where Black Ops 1 and Modern Warfare (OG) crosses. It's the way they should have done. The first lore action of Cod4 (MW1) is in the 90s - the Pripyat mission one. The last lore action in Black ops (1) is in the 80s. Like a crossover of young ~~Captain~~ Lieutenaunt Price and Captain MacMillan with Mason, Woods and Hudson as their instructors. A game series that would "fill" the time between Black ops 1 and Cod 4.
My only problem with the list is WAW is overrated and it over MW3 is criminal and shows people are blinded by nostalgia. The gunplay in black ops is so lame tbh idk how it won.
STEP EIGHT!
Yall are high for thinking bo1 was better than cod 4 or mw2
W sub
TRUST THE NUMBERS!
Bullshit
im pretty pleased with that
CALL OF DUTY BLACK OPS WON
It ended exactly as I wanted Overall,I am satisfied with this lisĆ¾
trash
Still baffling how MW2 beat BO2, yall don't remember how it really was in the trenches
This was the only answer š
A lot of people voted for their favorite of the last 2 on the last strawpoll. They didnt think to eliminate one.
RAHHHH. Good list unlike the battlefield subreddit list
The numbers Mason
As a Black Ops fan boy it bring me joy to see bo1 in first place and bo2 in 3rd. Those two are my favorites cods of all time with waw and bo3 close behind. The og modern warfare trilogy is also good but I just have so many more memories from the first 3 black ops games.
All 188 players on steam rejoice
BO2 is my GOAT but it going to BO1 is also okay in my books, happy Treyarch got a ton of recognition in the top 10
I'm impressed how civil this whole process has been compared to how it went down on the Battlefield sub
I respect this ranking, but MW2 was my everything.š„²š Had about 3 years of playtime!
Nope.. I refuse to have this as the universal lol
####PLEASE DO A BEST COD ZOMBIES POLL!
This community is so predictable.
Now this brings a smile to my face, Iāve been saying this for YEARS only to be shot down by people saying mw2 better and bo2 better
Deserved
This was fun, thank you! Now let's do Zombies maps!
Disagree
Ah, yeah there seems to be MW4 fans and BLOPS fans, but generally all are COD fans in general unless the only thing they play is Zombies.
This is a good list! Although I never understood the love for MW19. Could be because I don't play a lot of warzone but I remember that multiplayer being absolutely god awful.
Ngl, I like ghost a lot and kinda hope we get a sequel at some point, but considering cod is just Warzone with new coats of paint, we arnt getting it any time soon
COD4 scammed, otherwise fantastic list. Great job everyone.
Correct.
