    Будь игра просто пропагандистским мусором- пол беды, но:
    1. Мотивация плохих русских не раскрыта от слова совсем. Видимо, по мнению сценаристов, русский рождается маньяком.
    2. Если русский, то террорист и на него можно повесить военные преступления американцев. Пример, "Дорога смерти". 3. Сюжет настолько убог, что даже обезьяна на куске туалетной бумаги смогла бы написать лучше. Итог:    Будь игра просто пропагандистским мусором- пол беды, но:

    That awesome campaign, the attention to detail, the responsive gameplay, the crispy gunplay. They all come together to give you an amazing fps experiance, second only to insurgency: sandstorm.

    Russian Russians again, at such a pace in the new call of duty will be that the Russians dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, I wonder why the developers will not talk about the fact that the Americans bombed the retreating on the highway of death ? Or about the bombing of Yugoslavia in the 90s ?

    The fact that this is gated behind Blizzard launcher is just awful. This thing can be so broken beyond belief, it's simply unbelievable for 2020. I've never seen these kind of issues with any launcher, even 15 years ago.

    Got this game for free, because I bought an RTX card. It took ages to activate for some unknown reasons. Even login to Battle.net wasn't working properly. Once I finally managed to download the ridiculous 200Gb this game takes, I was met with constant crashes. The game also constantly switched to desktop. I still managed to make it work after way too much efforts for what it's worth, but got bored eventually. The raytracing looks very good in this game, but that's probably the most interesting thing about this game.

    I still wanted to finish the campaign eventually, but it won't let me play the single player if I won't update the game through the launcher. The thing is, the launcher broke AGAIN and won't let me update nor install anything new. After wasting another 1 or 2 hours trying to figure out what was wrong, the only solution was to delete and reinstall Battle.net and MW. Now I can finally download again the 200Gb and finally finish this mediocre game once the downloading will be done in 2 or 3 hours...

    This is utter ridiculous. If this is what it takes to avoid piracy in 2020, I don't want to be any part of this. You can be sure that I'll never buy anything using the Blizzard launcher.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After many years of incompetent yearly releases, it seems they finally got it right. Here are my favorite 5 improvements:

    1- Best campaign in many years, probably since MW2. More about it below.
    2- Cross-play! Now I can finally use my controller on PC without getting rektd (I grew up playing this game with a controller, Master Race).
    3- The monetizing system does away with the loot boxes, and map packs to split the player base mid-year.
    4- Ground War mode, the best thing from Battlefield (after destructible environments) with a Call of Duty feel.
    5- Spec Ops brings back the hardcore co-op play, missing since MW2 and MW3. A nice breather from the tired zombies.

    Now, you have probably read Glavset trolls on this site, taking a break from campaigning for Trump, to review-bomb this game. Yes, the campaign packs a punch. Potential spoiler: Since it's a reboot, the possibility of many old characters from the series to return is real.

    The reward system is very grindy, but again, fair. It makes it very tempting to pay up, until I'm reminded I'm investing all this money in a game that will be unceremoniously replaced next year (the yearly games is the one thing they still need to work on).

    If you're like me, a former player of Call of Duty in their glory days of Modern Warfare 1, 2 and 3, who stopped playing years ago, you may want to give this game a chance.    … Expand

    It's Call of Duty, so if you like a game where players run around in circles to shoot each other in the a$$, look no further, Infinity Ward has you covered and then some. The game has two major problems. First, the frame rate isn't locked at anything (at least on my PC, and I'm running a GTX 1160 Ti). It lurches from 60 to 35 to 50 fps for no apparent reason and then stops.

It lurches from 60 to 35 to 50 fps for no apparent reason and then stops. My suspicion is that it's related to the streaming of assets because I'm not seeing any pegging in CPU, GPU, mem, or disc IO. As I understand it, CoD:MW 2019 performs best on the PS4 Pro, but even then it's not locked. Personally, I think Infinity Ward was too ambitious with their tech, it may turn out in about a year that its new tech runs amazingly well, but today not so much. I could write pages about the single player campaign, but I'll spare you; it's not great. And since this game is a reboot of a game that stood out for its quality, this is particularly disappointing.

    And still, there's quite a bit of buzz over this game on Twitch, so it's clear that people are loving it. It's a beautiful game, but I wish I understood the mind of a person who's able to endure a game like this for 5 or 6 hours per session. In the end, it's the same game as always and it must resonate with many people who just have to have more of it. Just not with me.    … Expand

    This game is just bad. I actually bought it to level up weapons faster for Warzone, but quickly became disillusioned. You thought camping was bad in Warzone, wait til you see the same guy get in the same corner the entire match, knowing you wont be able to see him. Just bad all around.

The game doesn't feel finished and 75% of the content the game should have had on launch were missing in the first 30 hours! Guns shoot nice but aiming down sight is so so slow without the right atachments so that it is impossible to do anything but camp in the beggining. Even with the right atachments it is a struggle to be able to aim fast enough if you are moving a lot, and you still get killed from campers sitting in windows anyways... The multiplayer have got some hope going forward if they change some stuff, but right now it is not something I recommend playing!

    Campaign: 9/10, The campaign is really good! One of the best Call of Duty campaign ever and even one of the better FPS campaigns of all times!

    Spec Ops: 2/10, There is not much to say about this because there is not much in this mode... Also, it is really hard and almost impossible for casual players to succeed in this mode! Honestly I don't know what Infinity Ward were thinking with Spec Ops, it is nothing like it used to be in the old games and right now the best words to describe it is ''Kind of a Disaster''!...

    With all that being said, the game isn't bad. It is just not what it should have been...    … Expand

    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.
