Call Of Duty: Every Game Ranked From Worst To Best

16. Call Of Duty: World At War – Final Fronts

Call Of Duty Franchise
Activision

Final Fronts was a strange release, coming well after most people had moved on from the PS2, and at a time when Modern Warfare had basically reinvented what it meant to be a Call Of Duty game.

This was the PS2 version of World At War, developed by Rebellion rather than just Treyarch trimming the full game and releasing a lie. Unfortunately, though clearly capable of making great PS2 games, Rebellion fudged the landing with Final Fronts, relying too heavily on cliches.

The result is a limited, paint-by-numbers Call Of Duty with some great moments of fun. On their own, they're all well and good, but the direct proximity to Modern Warfare was particularly damning. It just felt like you'd picked up an expansion of an older COD title, with ruinously brain-dead AI and a general lack of the top level of gloss you'd expect.
