Call of Duty

: Black Ops

Call of Duty: Black Ops took us to the 1960s to learn the story of CIA operative Alex Mason. From the first moments in that chair in the interrogation room to one of the best twists in the entire franchise, we couldn’t get enough of the story that also had the star power of Sam Worthington,

Ed Harris

, and Gary Oldman. We previously ranked Black Ops’ campaign as Call of Duty’s best, and we stand by it

today

.

Black Ops’

multiplayer

is just as iconic and some of the maps, including Firing Range and Nuketown, are still favorites in 2023 as they have been brought forward multiple times. The multiplayer suite also introduced CoD Points, which changed how things were unlocked and made progression feel fresh again.

Nazi

Zombies

returned too, except this time as a full-fledged mode, and it even let you play as JFK, Fidel Castro, Richard Nixon, or Robert McNamara. There was also an unlockable mode that played like a retro arcade version. It was all wonderful.
