  • From Infinity Ward's original Call of Duty to Sledgehammer's latest, Call of Duty: Vanguard, we chart the history of the World War II Call of Duty games.
    From wars in the past, wars in the present, and even wars in the far-flung future, Call of Duty has been there. But the juggernaut franchise first made its mark with one of the biggest events of the 20th Century: WW2, an era it has revisited multiple times over the years since, including its latest entry, Call of Duty: Vanguard.
    In the above video, we chronicle the Call of Duty games that explore World War II (from the first in the series, created by Infinity Ward), the introduction of the Zombies mode to those games, and how the latest WW2 CoD game, Vanguard, ties into the battle royale-focused Call of Duty: Warzone.
    For more on Call of Duty, make sure to check out our latest episode of Firearms Expert Reacts, where Jonathan Ferguson breaks down the WW2 weapons in the game. Make sure to subscribe at / gamespot so you don't miss an episode.

    In my opinion CoD 2 and WaW had the best campaings ever. CoD 2 delivered on that ultimate Saving Private Ryan experience and felt so much like the real WW2 while WaW gave us the scariest, most gruesome and vile story of a WW2 videogame. It trully showed us It was the darkest time of humanity, and didn't hold back from showing the horrors of war, I personally compare it tonally to the movie Come and See.

    After recently playing through all these again, here's my personal ranking:
    1. World at War (A dark, gritty, visceral, horrific, and morally ambiguous depiction of the war with extremely memorable missions and characters. No other COD or WWII game like it).
    2. COD 2 (Everything a WWII shooter should try to be, does everything COD 1 did but better. Iconic missions and moments, an all around classic game).
    3. COD 1 (Genre defining for its time, still holds up extremely well for its age, an intense WWII shooter with a ton of memorable set pieces and moments).
    4. Big Red One (Easily the best console exclusive COD, several unique fronts and missions not seen in many other WWII games. A really well done Band of Brothers type story, with well acted and memorable squad mates).
    5. United Offensive (Pretty much just more of COD 1, which is a good thing. Larger more cinematic levels and interesting moments, all around solid expansion/game).
    6. WWII (A very nice return to the WWII setting with a few new interesting inclusions. Another pretty solid Band of Brothers type story, with a more cinematic and gorgeous presentation than any of the previous outings. Brought down by playing it safe and retreading a lot of what has been done in the earlier titles and WWII media in general).
    7. Finest Hour (Extremely nostalgic with some very memorable missions, as well as probably the best introduction to consoles the franchise could have at the time of its release. Sadly the most dated in terms of both presentation, controls, and difficulty, making it less enjoyable today).
    8. Vanguard (An extremely beautiful and all around cinematic game, with some very interesting set pieces and varying environments. Sadly completely brought down by its cliche, nonsensical, and fictional secret ops wraparound story. As well as its shifting tone, one-note poorly written characters, and blatant unbelievable historical inaccuracies).
    9. COD 3 (Very interesting focus on one campaign/front and on forces we usually don't see, such as the Canadians and Polish. That said unlike COD 1 and 2, there really isn't any memorable missions or set pieces here for me. The game feels samey through out as well as rushed, and the scripted moments and cutscenes feel extremely dated by today's standards. Still a solid WWII shooter, but ultimately very generic and run of the mill).
    10. Final Fronts (Sadly the only game here that runs pretty poorly and is filled with obvious bugs. Definitely an extremely rushed game, not given the time or resources it should have. I do enjoy that it is it's own unique title and not a copy and paste of WAW. I like how we get more of the pacific front as well as the western front in the WAW format, but the game ultimately fails to capture that game's unique style. Besides maybe the last western front mission, the game is all around generic and run of the mill. Not terrible, but really only for completionist).
    I have never played Roads to Victory, nor do I have really any interest, so I'll leave that unranked.

      Thats whats ironic, the devs prior release were bragging its the darkest cod to date, and nope. I actually didnt mind the campaign up until they said russians bombed highway of death.
      And FYI
      The Americans IRL killed like 30-50 innocents bombing a street, i find it abit odd that MW19 was the same cod funded by the US army, and im not like pulling this from like reddit, its pretty easy to find info, that was proven true.

    As an OG Call of Duty player, United Offensive is still my favorite as far as multiplayer goes. 64 player servers and the Base Assault game type was extremely fun and unique. The modding and mapping community was also amazing and there was free custom content coming out for years after the release of the game. IW pretty much killed that community off when they introduced global ranking and abandoned the PC players that kickstarted the franchise.

    _Finest Hour_ on the brand new Playstation 2 Slimline was my first introduction into the series. The campaign had strong campaign moments and settings, but also several that were notoriously difficult. If one bad in-between game wasn't bad enough, I actually played the poor second-gen World at War game too; that game was far more egregious than the first. But the one thing it did right was have more frequent and terrifying Banzai charges than the few scripted moments in the official World at War campaign.

People praise WaW for its storyline without realizing what that move would cause down the line as the roots of the franchise deteriorated. The more they built on story, the larger the heroes had to be.. until this. Cod 1&2 not having cutcenes and dialog keeps them grounded, there's no need to inflate any characters. WaW held on to that vision, but the move it and MW made were the poison that killed this franchise

And the battle chatter made them feel like a real soldier trying to warn you for danger arounds. Some of the mission are quite sandbox with freedom to tackle any objective in any order.
