CoD4 - excellent campaign. MW2 - worse campaign, better multiplayer. Everything was downhill from there.
Admittedly didn’t play Blops multiplayer because the campaign sucked imo. Too stuck on rails, not enough freedom to figure out attack strategies and don’t call it Black Ops when you’re going around blowing the shit out of everything! That’s the opposite of a Black Op!
nah man Blops is peak for me, best zombies and multiplayer, plus a decent campaign that was a lil artsy without going crazy while keeping the cold war aesthetic
I’ll give you DoD funded, although I think that started earlier, but boy is that ending in Blops with the American Navy appearing and the sun shining corny af, I’m glad the post-credits scene was about killing the president
Yeah truth be told, most American-published military FPS games are supported by the DoD in some capacity. Just like most Hollywood movies that feature US military hardware get support from the DoD. So it’s not really a mark against the CoD series specifically, more the subgenre as a whole.
I think the reason blops doesn’t feature so highly in my memory is because I’d already moved on from the series at that point. I think I was busy playing Reach or Ark or something by then. I do have friends the same age as I who would agree with you on it.
MW2 peak? Nah CoD4 was peak and everything onwards was a spiral

ive never liked mw2’s multiplayer. just not sure how its supposed to be fun when all the maps are bad
Agree. WaW and MW2 were decent follow-ups to CoD4 despite not quite measuring up. Blops and everything after was pure slop.
And it’s all DoD-funded US military propaganda.
not really related but did you know D&D is descended from actual government sponsored tactical wargames?
