I've played every COD campaign since COD3, (plus I've played the original COD on PC) and I can honestly say Ghosts is the best of the bunch as far as single player goes. (which is all I really play COD for)

Black Ops II, MW1, and World at War come close, though.

Purely for curiosity's sake, what made you like it the most?

Main things: (SPOILERS)

The setting. The post-apocalyptic US barely holding out against a new superpower was a cool role reversal. Much more interesting than the somewhat bland universe of the Modern Warfare games.

The missions. Stealth that was actually a matter of gauging your own movements instead of playing following the leader, and three-dimensional combat in space and underwater were a great change of pace. The opening mission in the ODIN space station was one of the most memorable in the series  for me, with the sudden shattering of the peaceful association we have with astronauts and space, the operator listing off the cities that were being targeted as your hurried to stop it, and the final self-sacrifice of you and your colleague to save the people below.
