#1: SGT FRANK WOODS:
Of coarse he's number 1. The guy who joined the Vietnam war because "it was fun". About everything he does is badass.. And I will give spoilers. So not only does he and Kra- (can't spell it) survive that gernade. But it's implied Woods escapes being P.O.W all da himself.. Though he than gets recaptured da Raul Menendez in Angola, and the first mission involves finding and rescuing him. The circumstances of Woods' capture - being tortured, having his men killed right in front of him, and locked in a shipping container with his dead comrades and left to die of starvation and dehydration. Woods survives it all, cause of coarse he does.. But he has a true grudge against Menendez, which becomes the focus of the sequel. Him becoming a larger character..


#2: CAPTAIN JOHN PRICE:
Another obvious choice. There's probably nothing I can say here that hasn't been detto before. But he is a fan preferito for a reason. Each game becoming più and più about him. Even returning in the new prequel game..


#3: VICTOR REZNOV:
A true soldier. After dying n Vukuta to help Mason escape. He returns as a ghost to help guide Mason though the game.. But the fact is, ghost Reznov still gets one of the greatest moments ever witnessed in Call of Duty history: Killing the asshole that developed Nova 6, and da extension, one of the three people responsible for Dmitri's death. The fact Reznov was never actually there, he was speaking though the brainwashed Mason, means that not even death itself can stop this man..

"MY NAME! IS VIKTOR! REZNOV! AND I WILL, HAVE, MY RRREVENGE!!"


#4: MASON:
I had to throw him in. Voiced da Sam Worthington sure as hell helps with the awesomeness factors..


#5: GIDEON:
The guy from Advanced Warfare. o Hesh from ghosts. Both ranked about the same for me..
