Call Of Duty: Every Game Ranked From Worst To Best

8. Call Of Duty: World At War

Call Of Duty Franchise
Activision

After Modern Warfare changed the world of shooters, World At War felt like something of a step back (oh, how so many fans would now love a retrospective COD release!), with its World War 2 arena. Treyarch clearly didn't think modern was the way to progress, so they went with an old favourite, adding in great vocal talents like Kiefer Sutherland and Gary Oldman for ornamentation.

The campaign was poor in comparison to Modern Warfare's, the multiplayer was similarly stunted (despite the bold move to introduce vehicles), and you really have to look at the technological limitations in comparison to Modern Warfare as the reason.

On its own, it's still a good game, but in direct comparison to the year before's big release, it looked odd and clunky and a little irrelevant. But at least it came with the first appearance of the ludicrously addictive Nazi Zombies mode.
