    The game is full of McCarthy stamps. Developers should be ashamed of their low culture. Goebbels doesn't belong in the 21st century!

    I know many games and movies with bad russians, that drink vodka, play balalayka and fight with their bears. Also they always want to attack USA or even conquer the whole world. And always brave american soldiers saving the world in last seconds =)
    And its OK, when its funny and not serious, like Red Alert series. I like that game. And I played Call of Duty 4: MW and MW2 and its was fine

    And its OK, when its funny and not serious, like Red Alert series. I like that game. And I played Call of Duty 4: MW and MW2 and its was fine too. But this game... crossed the line. Its maximum serious and tries to propaganda that all russians are villains, terrorists and f*****g commies.
    Where is grey morality? Me and other players see only black & white world in this game. Its awful!
    Great american propaganda. Goebbels applauds for you, Activision! Heil USA?!

    Flawless movement and gun play wrapped garbage.

    This could have been the game to get me back into CoD but my heart rate never made it above bored during the campaign. The COOP game mode is astoundingly bad. And the multiplayer maps have been designed to favor people just camping with a one shot sniper. Ground War suffers the most from the map design issue. Most of the points have

    Ground War suffers the most from the map design issue. Most of the points have head glitch spots overlooking them making it pretty impossible to take a point without a sniper (who you can't see) one shotting you over and over.

    I got the game for free with a new GC and I'd still recommend giving it a hard pass.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really wanted to like this game, I thought it would be like the good ol' days of CODMW and MW2. But the truth is that it isn't.

    The singleplayer campaign in painfully average, downright frustrating at times because of how stupid and useless your friendly AI is. You're basically expected to do the job of an entire squad, which can be a pain in the ass when you play in hardened and up.
    Not to mention the plot isn't nearly as good as people made it to be, it's yet another depiction of "America good, Russia bad". Russians in this game are just **** for the sake of being ****, there's no gray area. Same for arabic people, they're terrorist, nothing more.

    As far as the multiplayer goes, it's a camping **** Mounted weapons are so accurate, I feel like I get punished for running around the map instead of anchoring down on a wall. Map design? Well it's Call Of Duty so it's mostly unbalanced garbage.
    Ground war could be fun if the maps weren't so bad (yes, again...).
    The only good thing I can say about this game is that the end of the singleplayer campaign made me want to play the original MWs again and the multiplayer reminded me what a much better game Titanfall 2 is. I'll go as far as to say that Titanfall 2 is a better Call of Duty than what COD has become...

    Not a single redeeming aspect of this game. Bugs, latency issues and hacking. Upon requesting a refund to Blizzard after BARELY playing for less than 1 hour Blizzard told me they couldn't refund it. So then I had to call my credit card company for a refund. DO NOT TRUST this China-loving scumbag company.

The game designers were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should. They've literally said that they are trying to make the game more fun for bad players. What does that mean? it means that shotguns are sniper rifles, every building has 10 windows and only one staircase, and if you're not in a building (or on top of one), you're instantly dead. It also means that claymores have such a huge range that the best strategy is to put them in a corner, preferably right in front of you as you hold your shotgun out and wait for someone too run by. People say you should just adapt, but that's not fun. Why would I want to play that way? Expand

    Campaign is controversial, fun but unrealistic. I wish the American's were painted in a dark light with the Russians, there are plenty of terrible things they have done to syria to try and combat terrorists.

    It is worth playing through once for the shock value, but it is just **** on Russia. The missions where you play as the British characters are amazing though, wish there were more

    The multiplayer is mediocre, a campers paradise with no teamplay, you get punished for run and gunning and capturing objectives and rewarded for camping and getting kills for killstreaks. If I wanted this I would go play MW2 as it's maps are great. it will keep you entertained till you realise the games maps are crap. I was interested for a week or 2 but I'm now back to battlefield as it just plays better.

    3) Система создания классов-параша (верните пик тен!)

    7) Лаги на топовой системе 2019 года.
    8) Багующие контракты и невыполнимые задания в этих самых контрактах.
    9) Система укрытий.

    Плюсы:
    1) Графика.
    2) Стрельба.
    3) Звуки.
    4) Спецоперации.
    5) Сюжет-лучший в серии!

    Подробнее о сюжете:
    В нём нет русофобии, тупые идиоты как обычно ничего не поняли. Никто из ругающих игру, судя по всему, не слушал диалоги вообще. Фара считала русских-террористами, потому что её с детства угнетал Роман Барков, а он-русский. Но в конце, когда Фаре и КО помогает Николай, она спрашивает у него-"Зачем помогаешь?", а он отвечает-"Потому что Барков позорит мою страну!", после чего Фара понимает, что не все русские-террористы, а лишь Барков и его люди. И после того, как Фара убивает Романа, она говорит Николаю-"Спасибо!" и говорит она это на русском, что ещё раз подтверждает то, что она поняла, что была не права и что не все русские являются безжалостными убийцами. Собственно Барков, а он отличный злодей, у него есть простая и понятная мотивация. Его людей убили террористы из Урзыкстана и он стал видеть в народе этой страны угрозу, поэтому и вторгся на её территорию. В игре помимо Баркова и его людей есть ещё злодеи-группировка Аль-Катала. А также главные герои далеко не такие уж и герои (туфталогия, я знаю, но зато понятная), они не всегда действуют верно и не всех спасают. И после этого вы хотите сказать, что серой морали нет и злодеи в игре лишь русские? Нет? Ну тогда вы молодцы, раз поняли, что были не правы. А если вы всё ещё не изменили своё мнение, то это значит, что вы тупой идиот и вас сможет исправить лишь... Я думаю вы поняли, что вас сможет исправить. Проблема игры заключается не в сюжете (он просто прекрасный, в нём много тяжёлых и эмоциональных сцен, а также есть серая мораль), а в мультиплеере, который в этом году получился откровенным мусором.

    Последние 5 лет данная франшиза меня лишь радовала, но в этом году мультиплеер меня огорчил, играть я в него не собираюсь. Я возвращаюсь в лучшую часть всей серии-Black Ops 4. А новой MW я бы поставил 7 за всё вместе и 10 лишь за сюжет и кооперативные миссии, но так как игра тонет в куче негативных отзывов, я поставлю ей эти самые 10 баллов.

    Russophobia in a word, to consider the Russian army worse than terrorists and pour the nation disrespectful. The plot-propaganda, where actions Americans, throw on Russians, for example-the road death plus where decided not write army Burkova, and simply to drag all, that proves the endgame . And there is no gray morality, even terrorists are exposed in the best light.

    It has a ridiculous story, uninspired campaign, dumb AI, extremely boring missions with lack of scale and without any "wow moments" series is known for. Graphically it looks terrible even on PC with maxed out settings — the final product is nothing like it's trailers. Location's design is also unmemorable. Developers are trying to hide the game's ugliness in the dark (80% of the game is taking place at night or in dark buildings), but it isn't working. Also, there isn't any music playing on most levels. What the hell Activision?

    And, yeah, Infinity Ward also lied about "grey morale": all Russian soldiers are evil in the sake of being evil. They are killing civilians, women and children without any reasons or logic behind their actions. If you are trying to make an interesting enemy — at least give them SOME motivation or ideology. Even Nazis in the COD: WW2 wasn't such monsters as Russians in new COD: MW. The Americans and British soldiers, in contrast, are heroes that even in the "torture" episode aren't actually torturing anyone. You can't even shot the terrorist's wife in the leg to make him talk — the game won't allow you to. Because Americans never tortured any terrorists in Guantanamo or Iraqi prisons, of course. Or 'cause USA and UK are the most important markets for COD games. It isn't the game about the dark side of war as they promised. It isn't a fun shooting gallery as previous COD games. It's the stupidest, tasteless propaganda I've seen in my entire life. Activision is trying to be provoking, but they don't have balls to do it properly. For example, we all understand that this fictional Urzikstan country is meant to represent Syria, but devs are afraid to say it out loud.

    If you don't give a ..ck about the singleplayer campaign — I have bad news for you, 'cause multiplayer sucks too. It's trying to be the COD, Battlefield and Counter-Strike at the same time... and it fails to be anything. It's too laggy, unpolished and unplayable.

    Modern Warfare (2019) is the worst part of Call of Duty. Actually, it's the worst shooter I've played in years. And it's one more disappointment in a neverending chain of disappointments from modern Activision-Blizzard. I'm just too sick of their s..tty games, microtransactions and politics, so, I've deleted my Battle.net account.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. (Multiplayer review only)
    Firstly I would like to say that I hate supporting Activision and Blizzard because of recent events but not enough to not play the game and I still want to support Infinity ward.

    With that aside id like to say that this game feels like a really solid game and it has the potential to pull call of duty back into main stream. it has great mechanics that make call of duty what it is and infinity ward did great with it. It has great customisation and they’re heading in the right direction with the complexity of gun attachments, allowing cross play and giving the community game modes they want like ground war and gunfight. Obviously theres things wrong with the game but some of the community are basically saying its unplayable atm which is complete bs. Ive been playing league for the last 2 years so ive had no experience with aim, etc and im only lvl 24.... yet i use the mp5 and have a positive kd and finish top of the leaderboard a lot. Maybe im just lucky or whatever but it feels like the majority of the people saying its unplayable and too hard are just not good at COD Or cant adapt well. Like r u used to call of duty???? Theres always a*ds things killing u ,thats call of duty , you have to learn how to play against it. Obviously there are things that need to be patched, 725 range change, fix claymores, some spawns need changes, mini map changed back too normal and a slight m4 nerf. Why are we so focused on this though? Activision finally give us a good call of duty and all this subreddit is is complaining and complaining. Like yeah the devs need to hear whats wrong rn, BUT WHY ARENT WE CELEBRATING???? Finally we have a COD the community wants and the pc support and crossplay is great since a lot of us have grown up and moved to pc. One thing I would really like to see is a ranked becoming more popular in COD. League has had such success because of esports. COD has a massive fanbase so activision should really push esports and twitch. My only major problem ive had is that my game has been lagging ( I have a gtx 1070, easily should run COD)ive had to turn all setting to low and go into my computer properties to help more with the lag. How the f*ck does a ps4 run a game better than a computer with a gtx 1070 intel-i5 8th gen cpu and an ssd its bu11sh1t i cant even use my 144hz moniter cos it crashed when i tried to use it at 144hz. If any of u on pc can help that would be much appreciated.

    Summary: Stop complaining the devs know whats wrong and enjoy this game ffs

    2. Boring multiplayer (nothing changed from CoD: 2, except graphics, but it's steel on bad level)
    3. Story (Russians are not evil, trust me, they don't eat child and most of them love other nations)
    So it's not reborn of series and even not a remastering, it's just a creating **** with MW tag.

    The campaign is super frustrating and not a lot of fun. There is one mission where you are a kid and barely get to do anything at all. I don't even want to finish the game. What a waste of money. The voice sync is horrible and you get stuck in dead-ends (e.g., Wolfs Den flaming ladder).

    Having just beaten the game, I'm not sure what all the controversy is about. It's no more "anti-russian" than Farcry 5 would be "anti-american" because you're fighting an American militia. It's pretty clear in the story that the Russians that you're fighting are basically one renegade unit. You eventually end up working with Russian assets. Easily the best campaign in many years for COD.Having just beaten the game, I'm not sure what all the controversy is about.

    To all those who say it's only a game. Watch the film Wag the Dog, which shows politics and media participation. And games are one of the weapons of propaganda.

    Propaganda is often not just anti-Russian. The player can be in the role of an American soldier who defends "democracy" and the global world order, shooting people in some middle Eastern, Central American or Eastern European country, and no one ever asks, " Why am I an occupier in the game and why then am I a good character?"This is literally a factory for potential invaders.

    Obviously, the developers just played and " confused the coast." Probably, from the point of view of pop culture in the world there is a place, including, and Russophobic propaganda, but such a number of it is already beginning to strain. Either do it well once, or just stop - you've already said all you could.

    All the words about "well, we show the story from different sides" just do not stand up to any criticism. Russian Russian Russian mercenaries and terrorists are not killing civilians and hanged, but quite a Russian soldiers - at least, in the official English version of the game they are named that way.

    And about "let the developers say what they see fit" is also not necessary. We already see how game developers, under public pressure, add more Goodies to the game-female executives (and in CoD:MW, this is also obvious), and same-sex love, and much more. Well, it is impossible today that the villain in the game was a black gay, and even a woman. Will not understand, will abuse - and, will abuse those who and in game to play-that was not going. But the Russians-it is possible, it is please.

    And I remember how burned ass from American patriots during the release of Far Cry 5. So shut up!

    Всем тем, кто говорит, что это только игра. Посмотрите фильм Wag the Dog, в котором показана политика и участие в ней медиа. А игры, это одно из оружий пропаганды.

    Пропаганда часто оказывается не просто антироссийской. Игрок может находиться в роли американского солдата, который защищает «демократию» и глобальный мировой порядок, стреляя в людей в какой-то ближневосточной, центральноамериканской или восточноевропейской стране, и при этом никто никогда не спрашивает: «Почему я в игре оккупант и почему тогда я хороший персонаж?» Это буквально фабрика для потенциальных захватчиков.

    Очевидно, что разработчики просто заигрались и “попутали берега”. Наверное, с точки зрения поп-культуры в мире есть место, в том числе, и русофобской пропаганде, но такое её количество уже начинает напрягать. Или сделайте один раз хорошо, или просто прекратите - вы уже сказали всё, что могли.

    Все слова о “ну мы показываем историю с разных сторон” просто не выдерживают никакой критики. Мирных жителей убивают и вешают не какие-то там русские террористы или русские наёмники, а вполне себе русские солдаты - по крайней мере, в официальной англоязычной версии игры они названы именно так.

    И про “пусть разработчики говорят что считают нужным” тоже не надо. Мы уже видим, как разработчики игр, под давлением общественности, добавляют в игру побольше положительных героев-руководителей женского пола (и в CoD:MW это тоже очевидно), и однополой любви, и много чего ещё. Ну нельзя сегодня, чтобы злодеем в игре был чернокожий гей, да ещё и женщина. Не поймут, обругают - причём, обругают те, кто и в игру играть-то не собирался. А вот русские - это можно, это пожалуйста.

    И я помню, как горели жопы у американских патриотов при выходе Far Cry 5. Поэтому заткнитесь!

Remember the old trilogy? So, restarting a piece of feces, because there was no such agitation against the Russians, except, probably, a game for American soldiers from Steam. In the old games of this series there were PLOHIE RUSSKIE, but not so terrible. Even the mission in MW2 No Russians was justified by the plot, saying that Russian terrorists decided to carry out a terrorist attack at the airport, so that Russia decided that the United States was responsible for the terrorist attack. And in the new part, Russian, the most fascists and Nazis. In the Russian version of the game, they could at least fix it on the people of Barkov. But then we find out that all this garbage was conducted from Moscow ... Suka! The author of the script for this "masterpiece", are you really so f***ed up to write this ?! Who approves of this s**t ?! This game is praised even by Russians who sell their mother, just to earn more money. I understand that many foreigners do not know the whole picture, but I'm sure many noticed how hypocritical the authors of the game acted. What am I talking about? And that the Death Road in the game is assigned to the Russians, although in reality the shooting occurred from the side of the American troops. Okay, they told us that the Americans in this game are also as evil as the Russians, they say they are not knights on a white horse ... Yeah, f***ing, yeah, I believed it(no)! Well, he dropped the dude with the bomb, but there were 10 seconds before the explosion and so that others would not die, Price absolutely logically acted - he sacrificed one to save many hostages. What are Russians doing ?! They are killing, f***ing, civilians in front of all the inhabitants of that city in Urzykstan !!! By the way, the name of the city refers us to Iraq, where the valiant Americans occupied the city. Previously, they were stupid action movies, sometimes normal, but still a typical action movie with gameplay. And now this is a f***ing campaign against Russians who publicly broadcast peaceful people on the gallows ... No words, go f***, Activision, go f***! Expand

    Image of my compatriots just terrible. Terrible because all of Russians in this image are just demons in the flesh.
    In my country has conscription in the army. Because of it, all mans has to serve in the army. Includes Syria too. And they come back home. And one of them talked about any bad things. I talked with more than 20 my coevals friends, age near 20, who come back, and all speeches was in unformal and friendly atmosphere, and I have no idea why they should lie to me in close 1 to 1 conversation.
    A talked with some officers because they were familiars of my father, and no one could say any bad treys comrades, or commandeers and all like that.
    And it was really interesting to see how accuse Russia in such invent like “Road of the dead”, which was really happened, but in 1991, during the Iraq war, and by American army.
    How accuse in producing and using chemical weapons, actually like accuse Libya in 2011, but just for make a reason for NATO military intervention, because later it will turn out a lie, but goal will be achieved.
    I can list any longer, the same, for example, gas cameras, just like in Nazi Germany…
    No, Russians in this game are evil… Just because they are…. Russians? And they doing they crimes, crimes, which in real Russian army would be severely punished, they, solders, yesterday's graduates of institutes and colleges, they do it because they… I don’t know.
    But the main question is different, and it sounds: Why? Why all this lies and propaganda?
    Most of Russians are think good about USA, about people, culture, Industries and all like that.
    Russia and Ekaterina the great our that time monarch, helped USA get their independence. We were allies during first and second world wars, now we have the same social and political system. We continuing cooperate in many industry spheres, in science, culture…
    For what reason needed such propaganda? Was it so that the abstract private John would have no pity for someone he could shoot? I don’t believe in it. Than why?

    Solo campaign is the awful propaganda. Video games should not make so ungrounded political allegations.

    It’s hard to tell why there was so much ado about single-player campaign: controversial topics aside, it’s completely mediocre. On the other hand, the multiplayer mode is one of the best in latest instalments of Call of Duty series. [Issue#241, p.49]

    It’s undeniably well-made albeit controversial part of the series. One that tries to break the mold and open itself to another kind of player. It’s worth of praise, even if just for that. I recommend it especially to Battlefield players – you may be pleasantly surprised. [13/2019, p.50]

    Modern Warfare is not a stellar game, but decent first-person shooters about modern conflicts are so few and far between that it’s surprisingly satisfying.
