Top 5 Worst Call of Duty Characters!

1-5

Call of Duty has had its fair share of dud characters!

Evan Williams Evan Williams
Call of Duty -
Co D Simon Ghost Riley

5. Simon “Ghost” Riley (Call of Duty: Ghosts)

Starting off our list, we have someone who is not really a character. Look, we are not going to pretend that Ghosts was a good game, it sucked pretty bad, but it did have some redeemable qualities. You know, the fish animations were pretty sweet...right? You'll recognize Ghost from Modern Warfare 2, but when they made an entire game based on his concept, he was definitely not one of the game's redeeming features. He is mute, wears a really stupid looking mask, and has a bizarre backstory that makes absolutely no sense at all. What a bunch of forgettable nonsense. It's no wonder that the CoD franchise totally ghosted this character... heh. | © Activision

Co D Marlton Johnson

4. Marlton Johnson (Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 & 4 Zombies)

We know that this might be a bit of a stretch, as Marlton Johnson is not really a proper character, but boy does he give us the poops. He is one of four playable characters in TranZit, Die Rise, and Buried in Black Ops 2, and can be heard on Alpha Omega in Black Ops 4. Self-righteous, arrogant, and just the most irritating and pointless character in the game, no one likes Marlton! What makes it even worse is the relationship he develops with Misty. It is one of the weirdest and cringiest things we have ever seen in Call of Duty history. Hard pass, thanks. | © Activision

Co D Unnamed Black Ops 3

3. Unnamed (Call of Duty: Black Ops 3)

We have just one question: why? Honestly, Call of Duty is not the place to go for high quality storytelling, but the thing is, the campaigns have been genuinely reliable for some good action and fun stories. Black Ops 3 had some interesting ideas, and was pretty unique and inventive, but... what the bloody hell was this? At least Ghost had a cool mask - this guy doesn’t even have a freaking name. The 4-player co-op focus meant that no time was given to producing a character that you can at least get a little attached to! It was so disappointing that Treyarch ditched the campaign completely in Black Ops 4...ouch. | © Activision

Co D Logan Walker

2. Logan Walker (Call of Duty: Ghosts)

It’s pretty sad when you have two characters from the same game on a top 5 worst list! Contrary to what this implies, Ghosts had a kind-of-okay campaign. Kind of forgettable, but not the worst thing in the world. It’s characters, though, holy cow were they terrible! Logan Walker was the game’s protagonist, and to be honest, his companion dog would have been a better choice for the main character. He was utterly forgettable, and we were completely disinterested right from the start of the game! | © Activision

Co D Silent Protagonist

1. Any Silent Protagonist (In any Call of Duty game)

Okay this might be cheating; we’ll admit that. Seriously, though, there is nothing worse than a silent protagonist in a game like Call of Duty! If you’re playing something like Zelda, or Mario, or even Skyrim, it makes sense, but the entire point of the Call of Duty campaigns is to provide high-octane, high-intensity action, along with an engaging blockbuster-style narrative! It's an action game, so you need a good central character, someone to root for! The age of the silent protagonist is over, and it's counterintuitive to have a silent protagonist in CoD at this point. I mean, for goodness’ sake, just stop it! | © Activision
