Every Call Of Duty Campaign Ranked Worst To Best

16. Ghosts

Though there are no outright bad Call of Duty games, Ghosts is still far from a revelation. Despite a promising dystopian setting and intriguing opening act, the game's campaign struggles due to its lack of character development, generic antagonists and fairly predictable twists.

In hindsight, Ghosts was a set-up for the far more inventive Infinite Warfare, introducing players to some striking action sequences - the zero gravity beats are a particular standout, albeit a short-lived one - and teasing a future characterised by an increased reliance on sci-fi tropes.

As a whole, the lack of compelling characters and shifting tone leaves Ghosts with an uneven pace and wonky narrative. Even in its strongest moments, it never seems fully aware of what it wants to be, trying to break the rules and rehash the franchise's stronger aspects simultaneously.

It's good fun as a first-person shooter, and that cliffhanger really deserves some kind of resolution, but all told Ghosts is CoD's least inspired offering to date.
