Some protagonists made a comeback as an NPC in later games, while others are only included in one game. With the amount of games that were released in the series, players are sure to have a few favorite protagonists.

24 Player

The campaign for Black Ops III is not held in high regards by fans. The protagonist of the game does not have a name, instead only being referred to as ‘Player’. As players went through the campaign, they came to realize nothing they did was actually what the protagonist did.

Instead, ‘Player’ was beaten by robots during the first mission of the campaign and died in surgery. It should be no surprise players of the game did not like this protagonist. But hey, at least players could customize this protagonist’s armor.

23 Yuri

Yuri is the protagonist of Modern Warfare 3 while playing as Task Force 141. He was once the friend of the game’s antagonist, Makarov, before trying to turn Makarov in. Player’s play as Yuri as Task Force 141 tries to track down Makarov and put an end to World War III.

After playing as a SAS operative and Task Force 141 member in the last two games, Yuri seems boring. At the very least, he gives his life so Price can kill Makarov.
