Top 5 Main characters from Call of Duty

Been playing the Call of Duty franchise since I was a kid. Just finished playing Black Ops 2 right now, so I decided why not make a list of the top 5 MAIN playable characters from the WHOLE series. The list is according to me. Do make sure to comment who is your favorite MAIN character and why on the comment section below.

Warning: Spoilers ahead. 

#5 - Yuri

 

Yuri's Flashback in MW3

   

He's a playable character in Modern Warfare 3 who is revealed to be the right hand of Makarov (antagonist of MW3. He is a badass russian character apart from Reznov with an badass back story and the only Ex-villian who comes into his senses and decides to join the good side.

#4 - David Mason

 

Main character of Black Ops 2 and the son of Alex Mason. Although the story was way too unrealistic, if Black Ops 2 was a reality, this is the guy you would thank for saving the whole world from total annihilation and maniac Menendez.  

#3 - Alex Mason

Main character of Black Ops 1 & 2 and father of David Mason. If you've played the campaign, you'd know how much it sucks to be this guy and the amount of torture he has to go through in the whole campaign series, one badass dude. 

#2 - Captain Price

 

He's been there since the start of the Call of Duty franchise. I would describe him as a 50 years old invincible man who's still whooping ass.

#1 Captain Soap McTavish

 

Cpt Price: What the hell kind of a name is Soap, eh?

Now this is was one of my personal favorite character as I grew up playing as Soap McTavish and he was the face of Call of Duty Modern Warfare, he was skilled enough to take everyone down and after he cheated death the 2nd time in MW3 I couldn't be more happier but his death afterwards left me shocked and in tears as I had developed a bond with the character. I would say they killed the whole series with his death. Dead but never forgotten, R.I.P Soap McTavish.

Top 5 Antagonists (Villains) - Call of Duty

After posting my Call of Duty Top 5 Protagonists list, I just had to make a Antagonists list as well so here I will be discussing my top 5 favorite bad guys from the whole Call of Duty franchise.

Warning: Spoilers ahead.

#5 - Al Asad

The only realistic villain in the whole call of duty series, who relates to real life terror leaders. What makes him badass than the other  leaders? He executed a president on live TV Dayuum.

#4 - Tian Zhao

A good guy turned bad, who's responsible for the 2nd cold war. Played a vital role in Menendez's plan to annihilate the world.

#3 - General Shepard

What annoys me is the fact his back story was not revealed and the reason behind him betraying Task Force 141, killing Roach and Ghost which were everyone's favorite characters, putting him instantly in this top 5 list.

#2 - Raul Menendez

The only super villian in the Call of Duty series with a solid back story, instead of some nutjob who was born with the purpose of destroying the world like other villain characters. This guy is boss and if you've finished Black Ops 2 campaign, you'd realize no matter whether you choose to kill him or let him live, either way he wins. I would describe him as the evil version of Albert Einstein, with a mind so great capable of destroying the whole entire world single handily.

#1 - Vladimir Makarov

This guy is the most evilest and badass villian I've ever seen. Everything about him was perfect, from the great voice acting to his quotes. The reason why he's first is because he did so much damage and killed many of our main characters. I began liking him since MW2 until he killed Soap, then it got personal and couldn't wait to kill him in the game.

Top 5 Assassin's Creed Characters

Been playing Assassin's Creed since the day it came out. Although the first AC game was dissappointing, the games made after that never disappointed me. Assassin's Creed is a name known to all gamers and all of their games have become a hit in the gaming market. You're not a true gamer until you have played the Assassin Creed's games. What's most impressive about Assassin's Creed is the awesome parkour, combat gameplay and pretty much everything. There are many mentions of real life events in the game so after playing the games, you would gain a lot of history knowledge. In this article, I will be discussing top 5 AC characters. Feel free to leave your inputs and who you think is the best character in the comment section below.

Warning: Spoilers ahead.

#5 - Shay Cormac

To be honest, when AC: Rogue came out I was pretty excited that finally I got the chance to play as a cold-hearted Templar who would be bent on killing innocent and taking down the Brotherhood. When I played the game, I didn't get exactly what I expected but it was similar. In Rogue, The brotherhood happens to be the bad guys meanwhile Templars are the good guys. Shay leaves the Brotherhood after realizing they're responsible for the deaths of many innocent people, where then he gets shot but the Templars find him and take care of him. Next to Altair, I would say he is the most interesting character in the whole series.

#4 - Desmond Miles

The most badass modern day Assassin who belongs to the bloodline of Altair Ezio Auditore & Edward Kenway, and a hero who sacrificed his own life to ensure the survival of the rest. He is the only modern day Asassasin who I would say the fastest and strongest than the rest.

#3 - Connor Kenway

The son of Haytham Kenway and the protoganist in AC3. He had a tough childhood and in order to prevent it from happening again, he decides to join the Brotherhood and asks Achilles Davenport to train him. As years go by, he becomes more skilled & wiser. At first he was bent on getting revenge from the people who burnt his village and even after learning it was Patriot's fault, he still protected and helped them and before you point fingers at him for killing his father, he did try to unite the Templars and Brotherhood but failed miserably and hence he had to kill his father, Templar's Grandmaster Haytham Kenway.

#2 - Haytham Kenway

Son of Edward Kenway who was a well known pirate turned Assassin. He was taken in by a Templar at a young age following his father's death. He is the best character in AC3 although he is a villain and I agreed with his quotes & everything about him was perfect from voice acting to his appearance. Although he only had a pistol, hidden blade and a sword he still was powerful. He is also revealed to be Templar's Grandmaster later in AC3.

#1 - Ezio Auditore

Who doesn't love this character. I'm pretty sure all Assassins Creed fans would rank him as Top. He has the most interesting story and a great personality, making you bond with the character easily. An ex playboy turned into a Assassin after witnessing the death of his brothers and Father. Unlike the other Assassin's, he's the only Assassin who likes to take out enemies by stealth instead of bashing in and slaying everyone in open combat.

Top 5 Offline Split Screen Games for Xbox 360

You gotta admit playing with a person next to you in real life is more fun & easier than playing solo or with random strangers online that keep cussing you every time you do something wrong. All you need are two controllers & someone to play with. What's best about Offline split screen games is that you don't need Live membership to play so when your Xbox Live membership runs out, you won't have any need to panic. Here in this article I will be discussing popular Top 5 Offline Split Screen Games for Xbox 360 you can play at the comfort of your own home without the need for any internet connection but just a 2nd controller. 

Don't forget to comment what are your favorite split screen games!

#1 - Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

If you're a true hardcore gamer than you must've obviously played any of the Call of Duty Modern Warfare Games. Modern Warfare 3 offers the best Offline split screen experience as compared to any of the other Call of Duty games. You get to pick whether to do missions or the survival mode, which is the best thing about Modern Warfare 3. I remember when I first bought MW3 2 years ago , I spent countless hours playing survival mode & completing missions on each difficulty. I STILL play MW3 even now occasionally. No matter how much you play MW3's survival mode, you'll never get bored and it's more easier to survive with a friend than on your own as in co-op mode you won't die instantly but have chance to be revived by a team mate which is pretty useful.

If you want a fun & lasting split screen game to play with someone then this is the game for you!

#2 - FIFA 15

Doesn't matter whether people like football or not, they all love to play FIFA. FIFA is a game that would turn you into a football maniac in no time. If you're one of those people who think FIFA suck then you've probably never played it or just bad at it. There's not a single person I've met who owns an Xbox & doesn't play FIFA at the same time. I could go on but to understand why this game is great you gotta play it first. By playing it, I mean play it with a friend. 

If you're not a fan of football don't worry so wasn't I but after I started playing FIFA I automatically become a fan.

#3 - Resident Evil 5 & 6

One of my favorite series I automatically became a fan after playing Resident Evil 4 on my PS2 and was so excited for Resident Evil 5's release. When I bought the game for my Xbox 360 and realized it contains split screen mode for campaign, decided to invite my friend over to play with me and we ended up doing the whole campaign together which was very fun & much better than doing it with an online stranger or doing it solo. If you've played Resident Evil 4 like me in which the Protagonist was Leon Kennedy, then you must definetly also try out Resident Evil 6 in which one of the main protagonist is Leon Kennedy & the game also offers split screen mode for campaign so you and your friends can finish the missions together.

RE4 & RE5 are both games worth buying & completing with your friends for a much better experience.

#4 - Black Ops 1 & 2

Black Ops 1 & 2 is mostly famous for it's zombie mode which is fun to play with friends on split screen mode. You might find the game complicated at first but as you play you'll get the hang of it and want to keep playing & playing to go further. Zombie mode in Black Ops 1 & 2 is extremely hard so don't bother doing them solo unless you've a death wish. The more players you have, the more merrier as the rounds get difficult as you progress. What's frustrating about Black Ops 1 zombie mode is that you have to start from all over again after you die & keep redoing the basic rounds to get to the higher rounds which you'll get tired of doing obviously but in Black Ops 2 they eliminated the problem by allowing you to choose a round to start with which is an awesome feature.

Although I didn't like Black Ops 1 & 2 storyline, the zombie mode was awesome so if you want to kick zombie ass with your friends, this is the game for you.

#5 - Halo 3

The reason I switched from PS2 to Xbox 360 7 years ago was because of this game. This is the game where it all started for me, although it's split screen might not rock that much the storyline did but if you're an gamer you must also probably be a fan of the Halo series if not, start with Halo 3. Apart from it's awesome campaign mode, it also offers great Multiplayer and if you don't have Xbox Live don't worry you can play a split screen match offline.

If you get bored you can switch the modes as it offers many modes such as capture the flag, free for all etc.
