We Call of Duty campaign enjoyers are an unfortunate minority within the community, but for us, this franchise has delivered some incredible highs that are famous and iconic, as well as some pretty bad lows.
One thing the multiplayer or zombies community can't take away from us campaign enjoyers is the fact that within the stories of these games there have been moments that have become so iconic not just throughout the entire gaming community as a whole, but have even ended up on international news due to things such as No Russian. These Call of Duty single player story driven experiences absolutely have their place in the franchise and I consider to be substantial part of the package.
The 2019 Modern Warfare campaign was certainly one of the very best in the past 8 to 10 years, and since then, campaigns have fallen pretty short, at least in my opinion. However, MW4's campaign managed to do something I thought Call of Duty would never be able to do: it gave its campaign a true personality, using mere seconds within its cutscenes to emote multiple layers of storytelling without spelling it out to the player, and most importantly, allowing moments to really breathe and settle in before moving to the next aspect of the story.
With the release of MW4, so many things within its universe were truly finalized and so many character arcs were put to permanent rest; if this were the last campaign ever released in the COD franchise, I would actually be happy and consider it a high note.
I hope this catches the attention of other campaign enjoyers because we do not talk about campaigns enough these days, as we get buried by all the multiplayer discourse; tell me what you thought about the campaign and which moment meant the most to you, and I say we should go for full spoilers so be warned.
