Call Of Duty: Every Game Ranked From Worst To Best

14. Call Of Duty: Finest Hour

Call Of Duty Franchise
Activision

Treyarch might not have wanted to acknowledge as much when they made Call Of Duty 3, but COD was originally a PC game, and it was too advanced to be ported over to the PS2 generation without taking a lot away to fit.

Activision decided on a compromise, asking Spark Unlimited to create a spin-off for console players instead, and the result offered a more compact, smaller-scale World War II version of the PC version. It still managed to do justice to the Call Of Duty name too, even if direct comparison didn't serve it too well.

Finest Hour had a strong solo player campaign, but it was the multiplayer that really shone, allowing 32 players to gun it on the XBox version and 16 on PS2. Back in 2003, that might as well have been a thousand players on endless maps of infinite size. Even now, it's an impressive number.
