There are a whopping 23 mainline Call of Duty games, and 22 of them have campaigns. (We don't talk about Black Ops 4 deciding to go without.) From the long-running adventures of Captain Price and co. in the Modern Warfare series to Mason, Woods, and Reznov in Black Ops; not to mention the various standalone games such as Vanguard, Advanced Warfare, and WWII — many of them are packed full of epic, memorable moments.

So without further ado, here are all 22 Call of Duty campaigns ranked, from the absolute dregs of the series to the terrific high points.

Bringing up the rear on this list is 2025's Black Ops 7, which made some of the most questionable decisions the franchise has ever seen. Much of the campaign is spent under the influence of hallucinogenic substances. This includes boss fights against enemies better suited to a Dungeons & Dragons campaign, such as the ten-story-tall multi-headed infected piranha plant surrounded by a horde of bipedal demons. The entire narrative is nonsensical, the open-world Avalon-set missions are flat and lifeless, and it's pushed heavily as a co-op campaign, which makes playing it solo even more devoid of anything interesting.

The rebooted Modern Warfare series got off to a strong start in 2019, but by the time the third game rolled around four years later, the team had seemingly forgotten everything that made its two predecessors great. Modern Warfare 3 ’s biggest crime was the introduction of "open combat missions," which felt like directionless sandboxes.
