Best ‘Call of Duty’ Games To Download And Play: Check Out The List

Call of Duty

‘Call of Duty’ is one of the most well-known first-person shooter games ever. It can be challenging for COD fans to choose which games rank among the best. Whoever you question about the best Call of Duty games is likely to give you a different response. So, if you’re having trouble choosing which COD game to download and play, don’t worry. In this article, we have listed some of the best Call of Duty games that you should consider playing.

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

Without a doubt, the COD series’ high point is ‘Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare’. This was a revelation when it came out and is now without a doubt a classic, setting the bar for all new entries. Players are still drawn in by the tempting combination of compulsive unlocks, outstanding map design, and potent feedback. If you only ever play one ‘Call Of Duty’, make sure it is none other than ‘Modern Warfare’.

Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

In addition to having some of the best Call of Duty multiplayer maps, ‘Modern Warfare 2’ also succeeded in keeping gamers interested with a compelling narrative. Building on the success of the original Modern Warfare, MW 2 follows the core characters as they deal with Viktor Makarov, a Russian ultranationalist who wants to start a war between the United States and Russia. Even nearly 13 years after its initial release, Modern Warfare 2 still performs remarkably well overall.

Call of Duty: Black Ops

Without a doubt, ‘Call of Duty: Black Ops’ is the developer’s best in the series. This spy thriller set during the Cold War has high-quality voice acting from Sam Worthington, Gary Oldman, Ed Harris, James C. Burns, and Ice Cube. The Cold War era turns out to be the ideal setting for Call of Duty, with its moral ambiguity having the potential to shock at times and its flawless usage of The Rolling Stones giving it a feel that none of the previous games have.

Call Of Duty (2003)

Sometimes the original manages to surpass much of what came after it. The original ‘Call of Duty’ was a 2003 PC game, therefore its high rating speaks volumes about the original’s quality. Yes, it did give rise to a massive brand, but that franchise later strayed from its original direction. The Call Of Duty 1 stands here in the list on its own merits.

Call of Duty: Warzone

The ‘Call of Duty: Warzone’ has rapidly turned into one of the most popular since its introduction in March 2020, when the pandemic began to impact people everywhere. Proficient in holding 150 players at a time, it’s the home of Call of Duty‘s second attempt to capture the hearts of the Battle Royale crowd.
