    It's easy to be a little jaded about the fact that Call of Duty is going back to the Modern Warfare well. This latest entry into the franchise seems to be a significant improvement over previous entries, and it's closer to the type of game that the developers have been perfecting for years. The campaign is done well, the cooperative multiplayer is challenging, and the adversarial multiplayer is arguably better than it has ever been. Perhaps most importantly, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare appeals to long-standing fans and new players alike. It might even draw in those who have fallen out of the Call of Duty fold and are looking for a way back.

    COD: Modern Warfare is the dawn of a new era for the series and the show could not have been better than this. By embracing different categories of digital killers with some bold changes between gameplay, rhythm and level design, online FPS will have to compete with it from now on.

    After a few years experimenting with the formula, Modern Warfare is a great Call of Duty that feels like a step forward for the series. There are some aspects that, we hope, will be polished over time, but overall we’ve really enjoyed it.

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare tries to be a serious commentary on present-day conflicts, but is mostly just another Call of Duty game by nature of the series's longstanding blind spots.

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare's combination of modes is an easy recommendation for long time enthusiasts. However, the campaign feels really short and not up to expectations, and multiplayer modes feel hastily put together and thrown around without real consideration of what works and what does not.

    The story of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare knows how to convince. The creators of Infinity Ward present here a special shooter experience that is somewhat different from the typical formula of the Activision shoot-out. The wacky Michael Bay action has been brought down a bit, but in return the title now tells a story that breaks social taboos and blurs the boundaries between good and evil. This more serious approach pleases, but unfortunately it wasn't thought to the end. A more critical or reflective approach to the topic of war would have been the premise. But that remains - apart from the somewhat scarce game size and the compulsory online connection - the only point of criticism. The co-op- and multiplayer-mode offer more reason to complain. The special unit missions seem somehow half-baked and lack announced features. The multiplayer battles suffer from the partly confusing maps, which seem to reward a passive way of playing. This clouds the overall impression a bit, even if the title can otherwise fully convince in terms of gameplay.

    In the campaign, white phosphorus is a horrific set-piece accompanied by screams and whimpers. That’s some heavy shit. In multiplayer, white phosphorus is a reward for competent play that brings high-fives and fierce guitar licks. That’s some badass shit, Bro! You can have this cake and you can eat it, Modern Warfare assures us. In past installments, this dissonance would be funny, but here, it’s another reminder that these are really two separate games, and never shall the twain meet.

    first i was hyped for the new changes and the new style but i‘m **** dissapointed...

    multiplayer doesn‘t worked always... alot of
    server issues, few glitch spots on maps, very boring
    map design.. weapon balance still a joke, campers everywhere (ofc it‘s cod) and already had a few rage hackers... seems to be the same joke as always..

    campaign was somewhat more of a blast to play, extremly short around 4-6h and you should be through but it really points out with sole great visuals effects and amazing sound design (also a + for
    the multiplayer)

    oh and spec-ops ... can be some fun but get‘s quickly boring...

    overall a huge fail... they have should spent more
    time into it and be a little more
    open minded and more creative about their work...

    I like CoD 2019. Beautiful graphic. Gun handling. But i simply can't play this F....NG game. Campers, cheaters and just broken game issuesI like CoD 2019. Beautiful graphic. Gun handling. But i simply can't play this F....NG game. Campers, cheaters and just broken game issues just terrible! You first saw the enemy - you die. Just like that. This is a joke. Joke is average players for this game. I don't care about russiaphobian campaign. And i'm a russian. But i'm just mad about multiplayer **** they did. Sorry for the angry hate, i'm really try to like this part of CoD. No in the end. Go to hell Infinity Ward. You spend your work and money for nothing this time. Expand

    In its current state I have to say it isn't as good as it could be

    Cons: Spawns are almost random, maps promote campers and punish
    In its current state I have to say it isn't as good as it could be

    Cons: Spawns are almost random, maps promote campers and punish movement, can't vote on maps, not enough game modes, can't customize your own character or emblem, footsteps too loud, shotguns too powerful, maps too big and cluttered, makes you play the boring campaign to unlock basic stuff in multiplayer.

    Pros: Feels like a step in the right direction, the right patches and map releases could fix a lot of the issues listed above.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Механика игры- отлично! Персонажи- высший балл! Стрельба- супер! Но вот сюжет- сущий ад.
    Разработчики обещали, что в игре не будет ни плохих, ни хороших. Так сказать серая мораль. Но что мы видим по итогу? Русские лишены какой- либо мотивации, просто рушат все на своем пути, убивают прямо скажем всех. Активижн очень здорово выставили Россию. В эту игру игрет довольно солидное колличество человек, а издатель выставил нас как безжалостных убийц, палачей. Повесили на нас кучу ярлыков. Молодцы. 0 баллов этой игре.
