8. Call Of Duty Black Ops - Treyarch

Arguably the last CoD game that wasn't so divisive amongst fans, and was universally liked for the most part.

Black Ops was released in 2010, boasting an intriguing story (that in some ways worked as a sequel to World at War) which blended the real war of Vietnam with psychological story elements. As CoD campaigns tend to go recently, Black Ops is one that does genuinely hold your interest, engaging you with every beat of the story.

Multiplayer was as action-packed as ever bringing in new killstreaks, a currency system and Combat Training that allowed you to fight against AIs. And of course, Black Ops included the debut of Nuketown, one of the most frantic and nutcase maps to play on.

Black Ops was the second CoD game to include Zombies and was, arguably, the best iteration of it and the best secondary mode in CoD in general; destroying MW3's Survival Mode, Ghost's Extinction and even the newer versions of Zombies present in Advanced Warfare and Infinite Warfare.
