Call of duty: modern warfare in order

Everything from the first Second World War entry to Modern Warfare and Black Ops to Ghosts, Advanced Warfare, Infinite Warfare, WWII (again), Vanguard and back to the modern day, Call of Duty has done it all.

Anyone thinking of playing through the complete Call of Duty history in timeline order won't need to take a sabbatical to make it happen.

In fact, we estimate beating the complete series of campaigns will take approximately 130 to 170 hours – thanks to some entries that did not feature a campaign at all.

That's amazingly shorter than getting everything in Baldur's Gate 3, so there's no excuse.

Considering that, here's how many Call of Duty games there are and how each entry fits into the timeline chronologically.
