15 Games Like Call of Duty That You Should Try Out
Call of Duty covers several tastes: quick multiplayer, tactical rounds, a large battle royale, and cinematic campaigns. The best alternative depends on which of those you actually want more of. These 15 games offer a range from close tactical contests to big vehicle battles, extraction raids, and mobile play.
The choices below focus on games you can still play. The previous list named CrossfireX, World War 3, and Warface: Clutch, although their services have ended. It also skipped two numbers while promising 15 games. Each entry now says what it shares with COD and where it plays differently.
1. Battlefield Series
Battlefield replaces compact lane fights with larger objective maps, vehicles, and destructible environments. Battlefield 6 is the current place to begin if you want modern combined-arms multiplayer; older Battlefield entries offer different settings and map designs.
Best fit: Try it when you like Call of Duty team objectives but want transport, longer sightlines, and a bigger role for your squad. If your favorite COD mode is a short, repeatable small-map match, the larger battlefield pace may feel less immediate.
2. Apex Legends
Apex Legends is a squad battle royale built around distinct Legends, movement, and team communication. Its Battle Royale and Mixtape modes give different ways to play, so it is more than a single last-squad-standing queue.
Best fit: Pick Apex if Warzone is your point of comparison and you want character abilities and movement to matter more. It asks for longer fights and team coordination rather than CODâs quick respawn rhythm.
3. PUBG: Battlegrounds
PUBG is a battle royale focused on looting, positioning, and surviving as the playable area closes. The official overview describes large matches and a choice of landing location, so the early minutes are part of the risk rather than a scripted loadout start.
Best fit: It suits Warzone players who prefer deliberate movement and tension over constant mobility skills. If you mainly want arena-style respawns, its one-life battle royale pacing is a much bigger change.
4. Rainbow Six Siege X
Rainbow Six Siege X centers on tactical team rounds, destructible spaces, and Operators with specialized tools. Ubisoftâs free-access version includes selected modes and Operators, while the broader experience depends on the edition and access level.
Best fit: Search & Destroy players who like planning entries, holding angles, and communicating with a small team should consider Siege. It is a more methodical game than CODâs typical respawn modes.
5. Counter-Strike 2
Counter-Strike 2 keeps the competitive focus on aim, positioning, utility, and team decisions. It strips away hero powers and loadout progression, putting more weight on learning maps and managing a round with limited information.
Best fit: Choose it if CODâs bomb modes and clean gunfights are the draw. It is less forgiving than a casual respawn playlist, and improving usually means studying angles and playing with a coordinated team.
6. Valorant
Valorant combines tactical rounds with Agents whose abilities shape sightlines and entries. Gun discipline and team timing still matter: an ability creates an opportunity, but your team must take the space and finish the round.
Best fit: This is another route for Search & Destroy fans, especially if you want a more stylized competitive game with character roles. It is a poor substitute for open-ended vehicle warfare or a cinematic campaign.
7. Halo Infinite
Halo Infinite offers sci-fi arena combat with shielded opponents, power weapons, and an emphasis on controlling the map. Fights often give players more time to react than a low-time-to-kill COD duel.
Best fit: Try Halo if you enjoy weapon pickups, team map control, and a brighter sci-fi setting. It feels different from building a COD loadout and chasing killstreaks, which is part of its appeal.
8. Insurgency: Sandstorm
Insurgency: Sandstorm emphasizes lethal gunfights, careful use of cover, and team objectives. Its publisher lists both PvP and cooperative PvE modes, and the game has continued to receive content updates.
Best fit: It is a good choice when COD feels too forgiving and you want an infantry-focused fight with stronger consequences for mistakes. Expect a slower push and more reliance on communication.
9. THE FINALS
THE FINALS is a fast, team-based arena shooter built around objectives in destructible virtual arenas. Walls and floors are tactical tools: changing the map can open a new route or expose a defended position.
Best fit: Try it when you like CODâs speed but want the environment itself to change the fight. Its game-show objectives and destruction are more central than military authenticity.
10. Delta Force
Delta Force offers two distinct routes: Warfare for larger combined-arms battles, and Operations for extraction. Its official site describes operators, vehicles, land and air combat, and squad-based evacuation, making it useful for players comparing both Battlefield and Warzone-style interests.
Best fit: Choose Warfare if you want team objectives and vehicles; choose Operations if risking equipment to extract is the appeal. Check which mode your friends want before assuming the whole game plays one way.
11. Titanfall 2
Titanfall 2 combines agile pilot movement with Titan combat. Wall-running and rapid traversal make its infantry fights feel familiar to fans of fast COD movement, but its mechs change the scale of an encounter.
Best fit: Its campaign is a strong option if you want a contained single-player shooter rather than another ongoing service. Multiplayer availability and matchmaking can vary by platform and region, so check that before buying mainly for online play.
12. Escape from Tarkov
Escape from Tarkov is an extraction FPS in which a raid is about entering, finding what you need, and getting out. Combat matters, but carrying loot and deciding when to leave create tension that a COD deathmatch does not have.
Best fit: Try it if Warzoneâs high-stakes moments are what you enjoy and you can accept slower preparation and a steeper learning curve. It is not a direct substitute for quick casual matches.
13. Squad
Squad is a large-scale tactical shooter that gives communication, logistics, and coordinated objectives a bigger role than individual streaks. The value of a player often lies in moving and supplying a team, not in a personal kill count.
Best fit: This is for players who want a slower military simulation with a microphone and cooperative planning. If you want an immediate COD-style solo queue, it may be too deliberate.
14. Destiny 2
Destiny 2 mixes first-person gunplay with abilities, loot progression, cooperative missions, raids, and competitive modes. The shooting may appeal to COD players, but its gear and long-term activity structure make it a different kind of commitment.
Best fit: Choose it when you want PvE goals and character progression alongside PvP. If you only want equal-start tactical rounds, look at Counter-Strike or Valorant instead.
15. Call of Duty: Mobile
Call of Duty: Mobile brings familiar COD multiplayer modes to phones with touch-oriented controls. It is the closest option here if the point is to carry the franchiseâs maps and weapons onto a mobile device, rather than leave the franchise.
Best fit: Try it when portability matters more than finding a wholly new game. It is still Call of Duty, so readers seeking a different setting or pacing should start elsewhere on this list.
Choosing the Right Game for Your Style
For larger objectives and vehicles, start with Battlefield or Delta Force Warfare. For compact tactical rounds, consider Rainbow Six Siege X, Counter-Strike 2, or Valorant. For battle royale survival, compare Apex Legends with PUBG. If changing the arena itself sounds fun, THE FINALS is the clearest departure from a conventional military map.
If you want methodical military teamwork, try Insurgency: Sandstorm or Squad. For a high-stakes extraction loop, compare Escape from Tarkov with Delta Force Operations. Titanfall 2 is the clearest option here for a stand-alone campaign, while Destiny 2 suits longer-term loot and cooperative goals. Call of Duty: Mobile is the portable version of the familiar experience.
Platform, region, and mode availability affect the practical choice. Check the publisherâs current store page before spending time or money on a game, especially if one particular online mode is your reason to play. If you are staying with COD as well, browse Call of Duty Boosting Services.
Conclusion
There is no single replacement for every part of Call of Duty. Battlefield and Delta Force emphasize larger warfare; Siege, Counter-Strike, and Valorant focus on rounds and teamwork; Apex and PUBG change the survival rhythm; and Insurgency or Squad ask you to slow down. Choose the type of match you want, then choose the game that builds around it.
