Treyarch's first main CoD game (No.3) was pretty rough but they immediately improved and managed to become the leading team for the franchise. Last year's Advanced Warfare was a very similar game and the narrative (a GitS adaptation in disguise!) is a bit convoluted but the campaign is the best since the genre standard setting Modern Warfare. It even features a WW2 callbacks with Cyborgs vs Tiger tanks! The Treyarch typical difficult and gore also returned and the series apparently gave up on "attention grabbing" shock value as it has been missing in action since MW3. The Zombie mode should have stayed a room defense game but i like the 40s look and the main multiplayer is a blast if you crank it up to hardcore which features one-hit kills. The game lastly looks as good as a 60 fps console shooter currently can and the sound design is top notch. Next year's CoD may be doomed after 2 hits in a row... This is the best current shooter of the generation.
