The Best Iconic Quotes in Call of Duty History
There are dozens of amazing quotes from almost all the Call of Duty games, but for my money, it’s the earlier ones that have the most by far. Call of Duty 4, Modern Warfare 2 (2009), the first Black Ops. These are games that helped define and redefine what an FPS single-player campaign looks like, and you’ll find most of the quotes I list from those three games, though there are some from more recent titles as well.
1. Remember, No Russian
The opening line to a mission so controversial it made national headlines and prompted Activision to put not only a disclaimer about said mission, but also the ability to skip it entirely. “No Russian” was undoubtedly the biggest shock moment gaming had experienced in years, and a defining set piece all but unchallenged in the years since.
2. History is Written by the Victor
You could call this line from Shepherd MW2 (2009)’s mantra, as it defines not only how Shepherd views his actions but also how Price and Soap do at the game’s climax. It’s also something of a condemnation, though I leave such philosophical questions to better minds than mine.
3. The More Things Change, the More They Stay The Same
The first new dialog in Modern Warfare 2 (2009) helped set the stage for the entire campaign, as General Shepherd — Call of Duty’s best villain — waxes poetic about the times in which we live and how humans do nothing but repeat cycles.
4. How’d a Muppet Like You Pass Selection
Another quote from the CoD4 tutorial section, this one spoken by the original Captain Price, is another moment of levity. Important to note is the sentence before the muppet quip: “What the hell kinda name is Soap, eh?” Even without that extra context, the line was famous enough that it made its way to the Modern Warfare reboots starting in 2019.
5. Switching to Your Sidearm is Always Faster Than Reloading
More tutorial because I think some of the best lines in CoD4 come from its introductory section, this one is both character dressing and gameplay instruction. While I don’t know the real-life veracity of such a statement, in the context of the game, it was a nice touch.
6. Ramirez!
Not the first Call of Duty mem, but one of the better ones, hearing Sgt. Foley containly order your character, Private Ramirez, to take literally any action was never not funny. Better still when the order was to “Secure the Burger Town!”
7. On Your Feet, Soldier, We Are

An extremely serious roundup of the best Napoleons
Ridley Scott’s $200 million historical epic Napoleon is the stuff prestige-movie dreams are made of. Spanning 32 years in the French emperor’s life, the 158-minute film blitzes through multiple massive, expensively staged battles, all in order to consider how Napoleon’s marital struggles with his wife Josephine may have shaped French history. But does all this pricey prestige drama live up to the other great Napoleons of media? The Polygon staff takes this kind of question very seriously, so we sat down to consider which media Napoleons matter most.

10 Best Call of Duty Games of All Time
There’s no escaping that Call of Duty is currently in a bit of a rut. Although there are bright spots in Modern Warfare 3’s multiplayer and Zombies mode, it ultimately feels all too familiar. And the campaign? Our reviewer Simon Cardy said it was “perhaps the worst Call of Duty single-player campaign I’ve played.” It currently has a disappointing Metacritic rating of 56 and, unsurprisingly, Modern Warfare 3 didn’t make into IGN’s top 10 Call of Duty games (spoilers: it came bottom of the pile).
