However, data collected by True Achievements reveals that on average, across all games in the series, only 22% of Call of Duty players played a single player campaign to completion.
The previous installment in the Black Ops series, Call of Duty: Black Ops 3, saw just under a 9% single player campaign completion.
Treyarch seems to have recognized that Call of Duty players rarely focus on the single player campaign.
