    Great campaign that re-uses favorite mechanics and incorporates new unique mechanics that enhance the overall gameplay. Solid 9/10 Campaign in my books, but I'd give a 7/10 for the multiplayer for its poor map design, camp-friendly gameplay, and bad meta (as of now there are only multiple viable guns, m4, kilo, m13, mp7, shotguns)

    Multiplayer’s customization quality and atmosphere of story mode achieved big advancements. However I understood why Russian stopped selling this game in their country. It’s too controversial and offensive to them. Also, expect unlocking modes of gun, there is no motivation to play multiplayer. Map design is catastrophic and awful, and even gun balances are not good at all. I think theyMultiplayer’s customization quality and atmosphere of story mode achieved big advancements.

    You know guys? Yes, creators are quite politic, but if you have a view at that COD without politics and russophobia that game have quite a good story (i see all characters as a bunch of pixels) and normal MP. And yes, I am from MOTHER RUSSIA XDDD))) But I'm against of changing the History

    Its alright, its not incredibly by any means, but its a nice slow down and interesting pace. Some of the game modes are not for me, and that's fine, but there are many welcome additions.

    Game is really good. Any bad scores are because story of game is about bad Russians. But in every other aspect of the game, new mw is awesome. For real Russian people should stop hate game cause its offensive to their country. Its war :D Everybody is killing everybody.

    Fantastic game, great fun multiplayer and ok story.

    People do realize that this is a game and nothing political? Rating a game 0 because your a special snowflake which thinks the world rotates around your personal opinions, pathetic.

    Few bugs need fixing in multiplayer, else everything is great!

    The game is great. Don't pay attention on reviews of the triggered Russian jingoists. This is coordinated downvoting, the votes of these patriotic crybabies should be abolished and reviews deleted.

    Игра очень понравилась, сетевая часть за исключение косяков баланса, спауна и косяков неткода на старте отличная.
    Советую, не понимаю негатива в сторону игры.
    I liked the game very much, the network part, with the exception of jambs of balance, spawn and jambs of netcode at the start, is excellent. I advise you, I do not understand the negative side of the game.    Игра очень понравилась, сетевая часть за исключение косяков баланса, спауна и косяков неткода на старте отличная.

    Honestly, COD has been doing this **** for years and literally almost any military piece of fiction does **** like this so people saying stuff like "hurr durr politics in art bad" are just butthurt retards. I want to know what people feel about the game based on the gameplay, not just one part of the game, I want to know what the whole experience is like.

    TL;DR: Do not buy this game, spend your money elsewhere, on a developer/publisher that actually cares about it's player base.

    You'd think after 16 years Activision and Infinity Ward could come out with something that isn't hot garbage. Well, think again. While this game is sometimes fun, hence my score of one, most of the time it is just a laggy un-optimized POS. I don't know what they were thinking when they were doing the PC port, but they messed up bad. The recommended CPU for this game is an i5-2500K. I have an i5-6600K. While my CPU isn't the newest one on the market, it is pretty superior to the recommended CPU. That must not matter however, because almost every second of playing this game, my CPU is maxed out. In menus and in game, even at very low settings, Modern Warfare seems to eat up processing power. This in turn causes bottle necking of my GPU, causing frame skips.

    The optimization of this game is just one of the many problems. Almost worse is this game's net code. More often than not, your shots will not register. Even though you see an enemy first, shoot first, and have a superior gun, you will get lasered instantly.

    I don't write reviews almost ever, but I am so done with this game. I want to dissuade anybody from buying this pile of trash. If you are looking for a realistic military shooter, I would check out Insurgency: Sandstorm. If you are looking for a more fast paced shooter, i would recommend something like Battlefield 4. It may be an old game, but it is very good and still has constantly full servers. I'm going to take a break from this game and try to go back to BO4, and see if it has improved any.    … Expand

    This Critic is based on the Multiplayer itself. Well like many ppl here it seems im not the only one who created an Account just to rate this horrific game. I´ve played it about 27h to really be able to rate it well. I really hoped that this COD was finally a banger again.A boots on the ground modern scenery.

I really hoped that this COD was finally a banger again.A boots on the ground modern scenery.
    But we all know how it ended up! The release day was the worst in COD history, it wouldn´t even connect and after waiting 2h in the loading screen my release day was over i couldnt take it anymore.
    While continuing playing the first weeks there were a lot of things that annoyed me for example: the insanly loud steps that made it so easy for noobs to spot you and made rushing impossible, the extremely op weapons (M4 , 725 etc. ), the amount of campers, nobody was moving at all ( TDM basically never hit the 75 mark ), the insane camperspots the bad player abused to get kills. Another big problem were the maps. They were extremely boring , bad designed & had not enough variety compared to other COD´s. I still continued playing since finally the big update came & everybody hoped for big changes.And another time activision failed us by not giving us what we deeply want. They nerfed the M4 and the 725 but misbalanced other weapon , they didn´t nerfed the volume of the step as much as needed & they gave us another not needed battle pass with new weapons which started to be op as fk. So it was the basic Activision move, which they do every year. A few other negative parts of the game are
    - the headshot bonus dmg: that almost oneshot u with every weapon doesnt matter if its a mp or a secondary
    -the lean on mechanism: is the worst funtions of all time. it basically allows camper to increase their efficiency to another level. No recoil at all.
    -The OP overkill perk: compared to other COD´s this perk gives you what you ever wanted 2 full equiped guns at one time. its so unbalanced and so stupid. why would you ever allow that?
    -The creation of the rpg dudes: Ive never ever seen a COD with that amount of noobtuber. if they hit you and didnt kill you they immediately switched to the rpg ( they got a perk for quiker switching and reload time for the rpg ) and finished you. Its the worst behavior supported frome the game.
    -The spawns: we already been to rough spawn systems in cod ( B04 , Ghost etc. ) but this cod makes it even worse they eliminated spawn pushing and created a never ending circle of we push A they spawn C. We push C they spawn A. But its not the only bad example: they spawn next to you , behind you or in the same place at the same time as you do . Better example is the map shipment , its the biggest **** show ive ever seen !
    -The attachments: Every weapon has a lot of attachments to modify your weapon. Atleast it seems like, there is. They addded basically 80% of trash to the attachments. 20 different sights, useless stocks & specials just to fake variety.
    - Make the noobs happy: one of the biggest problems with this game is the fact that they made the game for noobs to enjoy it. Thats the reason camping is so strong. They added the aim speed factor to the game so you improve the aim speed to play aggresive while your weapon gets less precisise. the camper add more precise to their weapons because they dont need that fast aim speed for camping = outplayed.
    After 27h of playing the game im just disappointed & sad that my hope were once again crushed.

    It feels like there is every week a more then 20GB Patch!
    That makes it for me nearly unplayable, I have absolutely no understanding for what reason the patches have to be that big EVERY TIME?! Even Star Citizen, a game still in full development, manages to keep most patches relatively small. The best Part is that you can not event Play Single-Player without make all the updates...

    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.
