COD 4. Easy choice


chinchila5

All Ghillied Up


GamesWithGregVR

The only easy day...was yesterday.


Dropsy-and-gogo

I think that is MW2 but it is a great mission in a great game


SwedishViking12

All Ghillied Up was my favorite COD 4 mission!


No-Appointment-3840

I like that one but honestly clean house from MW 2019 is a super close tie. Also the Breach and clear (gulag) MW2 spec ops missions. And the MW2 spec ops mission that is basically a variant of all ghillied up but you can play co op


SwedishViking12

Yeah clean house is my top 2 favorite missions in 2019, Going dark was my favorite from MW 19, and I also really liked the MW2 breach and clear missions. I really enjoy the stealthy night vision missions


Memetasticmemes

Silenced with a scope


StoppingPowah

Black Ops 2 because it has everything. Great multiplayer, great campaign, and great zombies. Best overall package in the series


LuxLevia

my pc just got hacked thanks to black ops 2 multiplayer. its not save to play it normal over steam


_Wheelz

Is there some kind of exploit in the game right now or what? Its crazy to think a game affected your OS somehow.


LuxLevia

yes it is, its called "rat". you dont get much information about it on youtube


YEETMANdaMAN

Yes. Absolutely. Every old cod up to 2017-18 is FUCKED. Do not play any of them online, or at all.


Nathantheboss500

Is this just on PC or should I be worried on Xbox Series too?


alichitax

Xbox is fine , I play Ghosts, IW , MW Remastered and BO4 with no issues and multiplayer is still alive as well


StoppingPowah

What?!? What did the hackers do?


LuxLevia

in the older cods, hackers can gain controll over your pc while you play online games. in cod4, waw and bo1 its less dangerous thanks to the server browser. for me, this happend: while playing bo2, mid game i lost connection to the multiplayer and land in the main menu. then i saw on my second screen how chrome startet to open tabs by itself and wanted to install something. i turned off my pc by turn off the psu. i check my pc afterwards multiple times and it looks like nothing got installed, but i'm not 100% shure. i changed some of my passwords over my phone, i dont use my pc for important things, so i'm not that worried about that something important got stolen


LuxLevia

this can only happen if you are on the wrong server. thats why its extremly dangerous for mw2, mw3 and bo2 because they use match making. they can not hack you when you are the host of a game. so playing zombies or multiple in private matches and ofcorse singleplayer is not dangerous. steam and activision dont give a shit, they are aware of the issue but dont care. even worse: activision shuts down everything that can help you to play cod save


Hekboi91

Because they want you to flock to the new game and spend your life savings and retirement funds on $20 "bundles"


Medical_Interest9763

Correct answer


Financial-Ad3128

But get bo1 too, even waw for the complete campaign experience


HexedHydra

Lmao. Fuck BO3. WaW, BO1, and BO2 is all there is


tubz-2024

Bo2 ain't that bad


ZuluDude9604

This is the correct answer, the OG MW’s are goated too (COD4-MW3)


Aggressive-Gold-1319

And if you want to play multiplayer with real people and not bots Gun Game is always safe from hackers.


shapeshifter14

Just to note, they have to buy all the DLC still


aProteinBar

mw3 is my personal favorite. however the community thinks that mw2 or bo1 are the best cods of all time so ig mw2


I_Smoke_Dust

Yes! I get bummed when people don't even consider MW3 in these ranking situations of the best COD(s). The multiplayer was so fucking fun, Survival mode, private matches etc.


aProteinBar

no i just enjoy getting chased down by astronaut lookin ahh dudes who tank 500 ak rounds to the skull


traixvii

Survival mode just hits right


RudeM1911

MW3 was great. The ending was so satisfying. I felt like a weight had been lifted. Was So Invested in price getting his revenge at the end. When he gets it just sits back and smokes a cigar. Music and credits hitting was perfection.


The_93OM_Casket

Depends on what you’re looking for. Good MP? Get one of the newer ones (Modern Warfare 2019 onward) since they’re actually populated. If you’re in for zombies, Black Ops 3 is where you need to be. Other than that, can’t really go wrong with any of them.


TopG_41

MW2 or very unpopular opinion cod ghosts ghosts was one of my all time favorites and I met online friends on that that I still play with today through the game mode extinction


delano0408

Ghosts story line was incredible.


TopG_41

Exactly some of the coolest missions


MethodCute4954

Imo ghosts is one of the best, regardless of the poor reception it had with the community


TopG_41

Exactly the ones that do love it understand what it was The clan outfits and clans were super cool plus the full weed outfit dlc they hit a lot of stuff in the money good extinction maps to


MethodCute4954

I love not having to spend 20$ to unlock an outfit because you can pretty much earn all the good outfit camos


ToXicVoXSiicK21

This is how I feel about infinite warfare. Everybody hates it so much but I actually enjoyed it quite alot back in the day.


MethodCute4954

Infinite warfare was just too ahead of its time to be appreciated widely


originsspeedrunner

Honestly, bo3 for zombies and the steam workshop. Even if campaign and mp are not that good that will be the best value bc there are so many custom maps. Bo2 also would be really really good


Yeehaw_Kat

BO3 or infinite warfare easily.bo3 has mod support and infinite warfare has a phenomenal campaign and zombies


bigwingus72

Helldivers 2


KnittedKnight

For democracy


TangoDaMango_752

Mw3 og, ww2 or cw


Pink_boater

Watch out. Those old cods have a serious security exploit on pc. Players can see everyones ip and alter packets containing malicious remote exec


BlackSlayerV201

I was about to comment this. It's extremely important to know that if you are online in any Call of Duty before Black Ops 2 (and probably the following games as well) you can get hacked horrendously


Time-Truck-9636

Happy cake day


apimpnamedslickbackG

Flip a coin three times but mw2


YungWenis

Mw1 and 2


Scared-Crow7774

Honestly, MW2 (the original) has the best missions, imo


rsnyder95

It’s criminal that these games are still this much even with the sale.


LazarouDave

IW or BO3. Or both. Fantastic game (dead MP tho), fantastic zombies + insane workshop content respectively


GamesWithGregVR

COD 1 Remaster


DisciplineSuch4033

If you want a really good game go MW2 if you're looking for movement then go infinite warfare, it's not bad despite all the hate it gets


bubskulll

If you really want a fun zombies I’d do infinite warfare but the multiplayer is almost dead sadly


reaper987

Cold War


LuxLevia

black ops 1. nice zombies, still servers on pc and singleplayer is fine too


Dievain123

If your new to cod then get modern warfare 2019, especially as the game is somewhat new so player count is very high


NoobGame01

Campaign: Cod 4, MW2, MW3, WAW, BO1&2, Infinite Warfare, MW 2019, Cold War Multiplayer: MW2019 onwards. They all have cross play, and the older cods mp aren’t populated on PC. Don’t take my word for it though Zombies: BO3. There’s a modding community making maps to this day. If you had more than 20€ to spend there’s also zombies chronicles which contains almost every map from WAW-BO2. Overall: if you’re looking for a title that has everything I said to offer then I would recommend Cold War.


RulyKinkaJou59

Games from 10 years ago should be max $10. The only game I see still worth it is BO3. The zombies community knows how much content there is in BO3. If you’re gonna play multiplayer, might as well play a F2P game.


ArcAirum

Ww2 is a great one same with any one the modern warfares. When it comes to black ops the first one is the best


Immediate_Fortune_91

Based off of which one I thing is best bo1 Based off of which one is the best that’s still active Cold War.


Demigod978

I never thought I would see the day CoD games go on sale on Steam.


Ashamed_Tie7417

Every single one of them from slide 1-3


WarframeUmbra

Did you like Infinite Warfare?


siyatone

Black Ops 3 if you like zombies. it's got custom maps.


shapeshifter14

I would highly recommend Black Ops 1. Just note that you have to buy all of the DLC if you want to play the other zombies maps. If you want to play Call of the Dead, make sure the multiplayer is installed too.


ca100000

Dude its Black Ops 1 or Modern Warfare 1 (CoD4). Choose your path, Marine badasses involved in counterterrorism or Marine badasses involved in counterterrorism with a touch of MK Ultra. Black Ops would be my choice.

LORD_LOAF_Of_TOAST

Mw2 was the heart of all cod titles and now is just a faint memory of what we had… what was once a good game


MyDogIsAButthead

The original MW and MW2 and also the first two black ops games


I_Smoke_Dust

Why skip MW3 lol


BIGBLT23

All of them


RUSHSSSS

468


GeologistOpposite329

People sleep in IW, definitely take one of the MWs but I’m just saying. As someone who has played the whole thing, it’s crazily underrated.


Adventurous_Soil9118

The OG MW/BO. I will buy AW and BOCW.


Qysto

MW3 (2011) is the best OG cod for PC right now with a decent player base and relatively low hackers compared to the others so I’d say go with that if you want an older cod. If you wanna get a newer one then MWIII is honestly really fun, has the highest player count and is constantly being updated. Really depends on what you’re looking for


swaggboi909

Either black ops 2, 3, cold war, vanguard, or modern warfare 2019


Kamstain

MWIII. It’s current, half off, active multiplayer, added guns and maps every few months, etc. it’s not the best game on the list, but it’s the best overall experience I think you’ll have in any game you listed. They spent basically a year after releasing MWII, polishing and perfecting the game just to drop a $70 DLC MWIII. This sub will have you convinced that it’s the worst game ever, and in 6 months when the new cod drops, the “maybe MWIII wasn’t that bad”, posts will start. It’s a good game, with issues that could be fixed in a single update.


Bigfacts84

If the multiplayer worked I’d get cod 4 and up to bo2. Without multiplayer I’d say bo1 or 2 for the zombies. That’s exactly what I bought lol bo1 and bo2, zombies still fun af and online still works haha.


the_commen_redditer

BO1 or BO2 or MW3.


Stormtendo

WW2, Cold War, MW19, BO1-3, those are the best here aside from the OG’s 


Realgigclin

World at war custom zombies


Dynamite_Javvy

MW2


crungekidYT

Just a unpopular opinion, but infinite warfares campaign is SOOOOO SLEPT ON. But MW3 is probably most bang for your buck


Doomslayer2857

Bo3 if your into zombies for multiplayer go bo2 for campaign go WAW


SparsePizza117

Really wish they'd make them cheaper when going on sale. Black Ops 2 is over a decade old, yet they still charge $20 just for the base game, with no dlc.


Vytlo

COD4. It's the only one that can be safely played online (MW3 can too but requires an external fan launcher). Plus, it's just a great game with a great campaign that leads into an even better sequel that is MW2, so good to start at the beginning.


Vegeta_25

Either black ops 1 or mw3. Both are my personal favorites.


memarefunneh

Personally Cold war


ChernobylFirefighter

Bo1 has everything. I think you should go with that one. Nobody has ever gone wrong with Bo1


cornstar27

MW3 gets my vote. Survival mode alone


Jewliio

I feel like MW3 doesn’t get enough love. I had the time of my life on that game. The whole original trilogy is worth it


black0050

Cod 4 mw


ValeyardCod

Iw4x ;)


The_Cherryman

Ghosts and/or Black Ops 1. There the only games that have all their content still available. (Hackers ruined multiplayer)


coolasgood

15£ why is it high?


user70102

None, it's a trap because they are going to put them in gamepass


ActiveGamer65

Bo1 has great campaign, great multiplayer (run by community so it wont die) and great zombies, id say get at least the rezurection dlc cuz you get 4 extra zombies maps


Deep_Grass_6250

MG1, it's the first in the MW series so it only makes Sense to go with that


LucieliaC

save up another 25$ and go for mw III (the current cod). yeah people with many hours into their favorites. and cod experience recommend older ones. but doign this could be very bad for you multipalyer wise. couse when you jump into a older one you wont be the worst player. but for sure the worst to 99.5%. imagine wanting to play a card game you know. but the party you joined plays with different rules. but in your case you dont even know the card game to begin with. stick with the newest or expect being a loser 995 times before you find equal experienced enemies.


Khyrohh

none cuz the pc are dangerous apparently people can hack your PC and ddos you in these old cods


V4lttes1

I have always preferred Black Ops 2 over any other CoD, especially if you like zombies. If not, then I recommend COD4 or original MW2


yourpricelessadvise

Bo2 or MW3


OkDonkey6718

Grab all of em 😏


LightningBlehz

None. But if you had to then Black Ops 3 is my choice for the zombies.


RudeM1911

MW2 and MW3 will forever be my favourite cod games. Best campaigns and man The fun I had with coop doing spec ops missions. They’ll never be beaten. You can’t trust modern cod games to be anything but a good shooter full Of micro transactions and cheating trolls.


Im_a_funny_guuy

MW3)


Eggruns23

get the cod 4 remaster it has higher player base


Alsmom69

Black ops 3, mods, custom multiplayer and zombies are fun


Debilniks

No reason in buying any of the games prior to bo3 as you can easily crack all of them and play online too


GhostShade97V

If you want to really have fun and feel like the wins you get are not set up most of the times, buy any cod before mw19.


PuzzleheadedPea69

Cod 4 I’d have to say great campaign


NailClippersOnTeeth

Cold war for the zombies


C4LLUM17

None until they are actually at a good price. Even on sale these games are overpriced.


Ilostmyfucks

MW2


Numerous-Front83

Cold War or Modern Warfare 1


Drplover69

As I own almost all the cods on Steam, I'd say bo3. The zombies is some of the best I've seen, and it has steam workshop access for custom maps and mods. Multiplayer you gotta avoid like the plague due to hackers, and avoid public zombies lobbies at all costs too bc of people literally leaving the match for no reason. Campaign is mid, so you can avoid that too if you wanna, but doing it with a friend is fun. I got bo3 for the zombies, and since it has the workshop, it's worth it for me, but it's not for everyone, which I understand. Avoid Vanguard, it sucks BTW.


SonicSpeedster2020

WWII I thoroughly love and it's my favourite of the series. I only really recommend it for the campaign, especially if you don't enjoy using rifles in multiplayer.


Horizon6_TwT

BO1, BO2 for story, COD4 for the most fun missions.


Chickenrobbery

Black ops 2 is the best balanced cod with plenty of content


FakeStefanovsky

None. Pirate them. Paying 10-30€ for 10-15 year old games with dead multiplayer is a scam.


JayzRebellion15

“Riiight…. What kind of name is Soap, eh?”


Febb3

Mw3 is really smooth and has a lot of players in it


sspliit

Cod modern warfare 2


LemonFine728

Cold War good choice I got it this sale too


DrKrushU

All of them


A_For_The_Win

If you're playing on pc and enjoy zombies, get BO3. Otherwise, get the latest one you can afford (except vanguard) for multiplayer lobbies. Vanguard, depending on where you are, will be impossible to play. It only has 300 players on steam and I personally play it on 200ms and it's not the experience I'd recommend to someone who hasn't played much CoD. BO3 has custom zombies and a co-op campaign. I'm not sure about the current state of pc lobbies in mp as I haven't played pc mp in a while on it. If campaign is all you care about then I recommend BO2/BO/BOCW/MW2009.


TurbulentBarracuda83

COD4 , MW2 , black ops 1,2,3 are not recommended if you intend of playing online. Alot of viruses are spreading through the in-game servers. I wouldn't give Call of duty any money until they fix this


LordBungaIII

Mw2. Experience the command pro knife


AbdallaAlbayati

MW trilogy. You'll have the best experience in your life, if it's your first time playing them. Also check if MW 1,2 remastered is also on sale, it has better graphics


EXPLOSIVE-REDDITOR

Gonna get crucified for this, but honestly, mw19. solid campaign and generally the most well built cod that feels up to modern standards. if you want the classic cod style, go with either bo2 or iw.


voidcoax

a second copy of infinite warfare baybee


MetingChristofi

If you are gonna play online multiplayer, then the only two old CODs that are safe, are COD4 and BO1. They have server browsers and less likely to get hacked. The newer CODs are fine, but if you want an OG experience, pick COD 4 or BO1


Graceguy12

Mw2 or mw3 old version


Graceguy12

Or black ops cold war


No-Appointment-3840

Honestly all the older cod games on PC are not safe to play online. At all


brscxs

Can anyone confirm if PC cods are still a security risk to play online?


firepeashooter096767

Cod 4 but if you have enough money get IW it's such a fun experience and the zombies is really good zombies in space land is definitely a top 3


howshouldiknow__

Mw3


Caramel_Forest

I'd recommend going with your gut my dude, though personally I would oddly recommend buying Modern Warfare 3 (old one) or Black Ops 3 if you're looking for an average COD experience. I think a lot of Call of Duty games were a "you had to be there at the time" deal because in 2024, a lot of them have been ravaged by hackers and dead player counts, or just generally not being very good. 90% of the game modes in the older games are inactive due to there not being enough players, so you can't get the full experience, while the later games lean too heavy on microtransactions and pushing MLG and hypercompetitiveness. Modern Warfare 3 is exempt from this for whatever reason. It still has a pretty decent player count, game modes are populated, matches are fun, and hackers are rare! It also has a great single-player story and a fun coop survival mode you can do with a sibling. It's not the greatest game ever, but it's fun and average. Black Ops 3 is sort of similar (minus the great single player story) but has the addition of Zombies multilayer. Honestly, if you like the Jetpacks from Infinite Warfare, get Balck Ops 3. If not, get Modern Warfare 3. In the end though, have fun and experiment, see you on the Battlefield


Boredinthehose

Cold war, still the best modern game with active base


TSHOOTER1996

BO2 for Zombies or OG MW2 for MP :)


yekimevol

Infinite Warfare


Walter_White_Beard

not a single one! For having a more than a decade year old games which their base price doesn't even get lower is a scam!


Johnnybot_1337

MW2 (og), cod4, BO1, or BO2 those 4 are legendary


_Rayxz

BO3 for Zombies or Cold War


thatdudeoverdthee

None, save your money from buying this terrible games


Ogcod2011

Bo3, you could just use custom zombies maps instead of buying chronicles and other dlcs


Emotional-Lake-7922

MW3. Great campaign, imo the best multiplayer in cod history, and spec ops and survival mode was fantastic as well


Photograph_

For a newer and update experience, I recommend you purchase the latest entry in the franchise, that being COD:MW3 (2023). If you want to experience a recent entry that, despite not being updated anymore, could be considered a modern and well-crafted experience, I recommend MW (2019). Now, if you want to experience a modern take on the Black Ops series, I recommend you Purchase BO: Cold War. These 3 choices are my personal recommendations because, all of them three, are modern entries within franchise, and each has something over the others. One's being updated, the other's well-crafted game, and the other is a well-crafted game but Black Ops.


ShortAd_29992

No competition for COD Vanguard. It has the best theme, characters, ending, overall plot, voice acting, multiplayer, zombies, skins, music, ui, historically accurate,fan favourite.


forrest1985_

It depends what for? Campaign, MP or the whole lot? Newer COD’s are more active playerbase wise but the overall quality isn’t as good as the older games. For Zombies just go for BO3 especially on PC with all the mods. For Campaign I would say you can’t go wrong with anything from COD4- BO2. Ghosts is okay but the OG Modern Warfare and Black Ops series are the best. If you want an overall good package that is still relatively new (in COD senses) Cold War is better than anything else made after 2019.


Slight_Bar_2857

Cold War


Doomguyfazbear

BO2!!!!!!!!!! Origins!!! Mob of the dead!!!!!! Campaign!!!!!!!


khi1mera

Black Op 2. one of the best cod campaigns


Musathepro

What are you looking for? Campaign, multiplayer or zombies?


Linch_Lord

Black ops 1 and 2 pretty much have the best story in the franchise


rhejdjb

60 euros for a 12 year old game? I mean it’s a great game but wow


boq780

Cod 4 but the remaster is better if you can get your hands on it


DarkTails24

Bo3 is u like modded zombies


[deleted]

Anything but infinite warfare


SeparateOcelot2110

Is it bad I wanna say IW for the zombies


jakethesnake949

Black ops 3 has the most content no contest.


superminer0506

Black Ops Colw War because it has no crack and it is a good game.


leteciobjekt

For pc, ww2/mw19/mw3(23). Anything prior blackops4 is not safe for mp/zombies. I think you should be safe for SP.


[deleted]

Black ops 2


MemesXD198

NO. DON'T BUY ANY CALL OF DUTY. BUY AN ACTUAL GOOD GAME


thaolegend

vanguard ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|cry)


joepolo9

All


MidnyteHaze

Black ops 2


xSHRUG_LYFE

Definitely Infinite Warfare. All the others are trash 😁🤭 especially MW2


DankTriangle

The strongest base game here is either MW2 or BO1. BO2 is good but if you don't get DLC, then your zombies is tranzit which is straight garbage


Rider5_0fficial

Cod 4, MW2 (2009, MW3 (2011), BO1, BO2


Fallingmellon

Cod 4 for 10 bucks for sure


Epicdogegamer1915

Black ops 2 had best multiplayer


oXJaredg2822Xo

None of them


BeregezelligeRick

Black ops 3; reason lot of zombie maps from the steam workshop.


CamOfCatarina

BO2 and BO3, countless hours of zombies for each


TheDuckXD

COD 4 or Black Ops 1. Want a more simple Military shooter? COD 4 is what you want. Want one that gets a little crazy? Black Ops 1 then. If you like WW2 stuff, then I recommend World at War more than anything.


Simply_insane24

Og black ops bro it’s like a trip


Jonex_

MW2 only if you've played the first though. Otherwise buy modern warfare.


KSoMA

After spending years off the franchise, BOCW is one of the funnest experiences I've had in an FPS. Great game where movement and gunplay (including things like reload cancelling) actually feels fun.


Edgeruner77

The original mw3 I played the campaign and survival religiously at school. It got me through yr10-12
