From a multiplayer standpoint, you don't need to play any previous games before. In each game, there's always some form of tutorial/training to get you started.

From a story standpoint, it depends on what series you want to play. The first games (COD 1, United Offensive, and 2) are part of a WW2 series that connect to each other. Then there's Modern Warfare series, which has a total of 3 parts. Then there's the Black Ops series (which actually has a WW2 prequel of a sort, World at War). Ghosts and Advanced Warfare are currently standalone games, but you can expect sequels to those games in the coming years.

Since you're asking on the Black Ops III forum, I'd suggest going back to at least Black Ops I and play through the story. Then work your way to Black Ops II. If you're interested in the Zombies mode in the Black Ops series, I will discuss further in a different post.

Start with WaW and then CoD Modern Warfare 1 (A.K.A CoD 4: Modern Warfare) then move up, CoD MW2 - CoD BO - CoD MW3 - CoD BO2 - CoD AW - and finally CoD BO3

Start with BO2. That has been the best COD game on Steam so far.

Please don't recommend P2P games like MW2, MW3, Ghosts and AW. They are dreadful experiences. We want people to love COD. Not hate it because of the lag you get via P2P.

P2P is a form of connection, where one player acts as a host, while other players connect to that player to play. That said, Tally is only half-right about Ghosts and AW.

Both Ghosts and AW employ a hybrid server system, where if there are no suitable dedicated servers, or if there is an abundance of players within close proximity, one player will receive data and become the "dedicated server", while playing at the same time (basically a more glorified form of P2P). But there are dedicated servers for these games. I can't say the same about MW2 and 3, because they were definitely P2P (MW3 does have rentable unranked servers, but they are, well, unranked, and the only way to level up is through P2P matchmaking).

There is a wide variety to choose from, but to make your life easier just skip ghosts, Cod 3 and maybe AW if you're not into future. If you're interested in classic Cod then 1, 2/Big Red One. For WW2 stick to WaW, very gritty and fantastic single player. If you're more into Gulf War/Modern era then Cod 4, MW2 and MW3. Finally if you're looking for a dark/mature storyline then the Blops franchise is a solid starting point.

Start and end with modern warfare 1. Maybe do world at war if you like ww2.

for games like advanced warfare and ghost And maybe even black ops 2 i would recomend you play them on the ps3 or ps4. Advanced warfare is a really good game however it suffers from allot of issues in the pc version thus it has a low player base on pc , the samething applies to ghost well atleast the player base side. as for black ops 2 it has plenty of players on the pc version even though it suffers from some internet issues from time to time but if you really want to be able to play anygame mode the ps3 version has tons of players alone
