To be fair, by the time 'Black Ops III' rolled around, you could tell that Treyarch were tacking on the single-player campaign to fulfill a generally held contract with first-person shooters. Sure, you might have had those power-suits to jump around the map, but really, it made so little odds to how interesting the game was that it ultimately ended up being more annoying than exciting. Not only that, the whole story was just dumb as hell and not one of the missions remotely stood out from the other.

His face looked like some kind of skin-robot mask, and the voice acting sounded like a guy who was counting out his earnings with each and every syllable. Never mind it's got Kevin Spacey in it, the fact remains that having Kevin Spacey in a 'Call of Duty' game was just plain weird. At least you got the remastered version of 'Modern Warfare' with it. Not only that, the clunky and flat dialogue from all the actors concerned - Kit Harington, that guy from 'Generation: Kill' and 'Mad Men', Dano from 'Love/Hate' - just adds to a misshapen part of the franchise. You pilot fighter jets in space, sure, but the control system never once goes above feeling like you're on a rail shooter. The storyline doesn't really make much sense, and the fact that it tries to take the game into space adds almost nothing to it. While 'Infinite Warfare' is often cited as the punching bag of the franchise, there's pretty good reason for that - it really is terrible. Obviously, multiplayer is a completely different aspect of the game, so for this, we're focusing in on single player and is why we're leaving out 'Black Ops 4' altogether. With the rebooted 'Call of Duty: Modern Warfare' hitting shelves next week, we're looking at the best single player campaigns of the franchise. You had games like 'Call of Duty: Ghosts', 'Black Ops', and then you had the more sci-fi elements like 'Advanced Warfare' and 'Infinite Warfare' - not to mention the multiplayer aspects of 'Black Ops 4' on top of that.

Since launching in 2003, ostensibly as a competitor to 'Medal of Honor', the 'Call of Duty' franchise has gone through some pretty significant changes.
