Call Of Duty: Every Game Ranked From Worst To Best

3. Call Of Duty: Black Ops

Some fans were underwhelmed by Treyarch's World At War (mostly because it came a year after the hugely impactful Modern Warfare), so they were expecting a lot from the developer when it came to their first update to modernish warfare.

The film was set in the Cold War, came with a ghost Russian and a bunch of shocks that made it a great return to form. The story is arguably the richest one ever released under this banner, with some seriously thought-provoking moments and a sort of Forrest Gump feel to Alex Mason's story. And then there's that stinging twist ending.

It also came bundled with a great soundtrack, the immediately irresistible Nazi Zombies and the most famous multiplayer map of all time - Nuketown.
