The most unforgettable Call of Duty characters 12) Gaz Image via Activision When the best characters die, you will be in tears or screaming in victory, and we definitely felt the trials and tribulations of the following characters. This isn’t to say we like these characters the most, just that they were the best at what they did. Players hate many great villains, so being hated by players is no less valuable than being loved by them. Rather than just focusing on the heroes, we have compiled a list of the best characters in the Call of Duty series. Some of the best characters from the single-player storyline end up as skins in multiplayer, and some of them also appear in Call of Duty: Warzone. Some characters have stood the test of time in the Call of Duty franchise, despite there being many games.
The stories are great, but the characters survive far beyond their games due to their unforgettable nature. Often, the effort of the team that creates single-player storylines is overlooked for the focus on multiplayer, but we should commend them. In addition to its multiplayer gameplay, Call of Duty has some of the best single-player campaigns in gaming.
