My thoughts:

CoD 2: Excellent campaign, doesn't really have a story, but it doesn't need to, it's WWII, so there's not too much room for one anyway. It's one of the few games that actually feels somewhat realistic to me in campaign, put it on veteran, I literally spent an hour trying different ways to make it past a German MG emplacement (and I don't think it has too much to do with me sucking, hopefully...). Never played multiplayer.

CoD 3: I have nothing nice to say, sorry.

CoD 4: Epic campaign, I like it better than the other two MWs in this regard, it feels more that you're part of an actual squad, not a lone wolf. I like that. Multiplayer is one of the best in the series, I like the simplicity. There are a few too many hackers these days, which compel me to switch servers, but I get some good games in there.

CoD WaW: Campaign was good, but not the best. I liked it a lot the first play through, but I've never gone back for another full playthrough, only select missions. Zombies, epic. Multi, I've played about three matches, I like the bolt action and semi-auto rifles playing a larger role, but I just don't like the feel of the game quite as much as the others.

MW2: Great campaign, I found myself playing this one several times. Spec Ops added some great variety, and I had a lot of fun trying to beat the IW times on all of those. Never really played multi (didn't have Live, and I don't currently own the game).

BO: Campaign, some missions were good and memorable, others I barely remember exist. Zombies was excellent, I like all of the maps they made (haven't played CotD though). Multiplayer... not so much. The weapons were practically clones of each other, for example, there were a total of what, four rates of fire between all automatic weapons? CoD points were an okay system.

MW3: Some epic campaign missions, though I'll admit, by the fourth or fifth mission set in a major world city, I was getting a little bored of that concept and wanted some variety in battlegrounds. The ones that stood out to me were the ones like, say, let's storm an old Russian castle that's been half modernized, yeah? Spec Ops seemed a little easier to me this time around (perhaps all the time I spent on MW2's...), survival was, and still is fun. Multiplayer is awesome, it was the first game I actually played on Live, and I still enjoy going back and playing it.

BO2: Campaign was glorious. Zombies is better than most previous ones (I like that the survival maps, at least the first few, returned the focus to just surviving, not turning on the power/completing an easter egg/whatever else, while TranZit and Die Rise offer all of that). Multiplayer is just plain fun, pick 10 is awesome. I do wish the damage were a little closer to how it was in MW3, personally, It keeps throwing me off having to shoot someone up to 6 times to make them die.

My two cents.
