    The meaning of the game-Bad Russians, propaganda, all the bad merits of America now merits of Russian bad soldiers. And of course, the game is bad! And of course it is J-12 (in Russian translation). Game propaganda that Russian soldiers are bad! A typical example of a bad plot and game in General.

    Русский перевод
    Смысл игры - Плохие русские , пропоганда , все плохие заслуги америки теперь заслуги Российских плохих солдатов. И конечно , игра плохой! И конечно это J-12 (в русском переводе). Игра пропаганда того , что русские солдаты плохие! Типичный пример плохого сюжета и игры в общем.

    This game has a pretty good campaign when it works which I would give an 8/10 had I been able to play it properly from start to finish. The issue, however, in this game is the terrible cutscenes in between missions that don't play properly. They stutter and buffer from start to finish and I had to quit the campaign and watch it in the menu just to see what the context was each mission. IThis game has a pretty good campaign when it works which I would give an 8/10 had I been able to play it properly from start to finish. The issue, however, in this game is the terrible cutscenes in between missions that don't play properly. They stutter and buffer from start to finish and I had to quit the campaign and watch it in the menu just to see what the context was each mission. I had to wait days to even start playing it because the game would keep crashing all the time in the same spots. Price is still pretty cool.

    The multiplayer however is very bad compared to the classic games that this game is trying to appeal to. The new maps specific for this game are for the most part seem fine but the main thing that trashes everything is this the horrendous respawns. You can literally be killed and spawn in front of the same enemy that kills you sometimes. This creates a big issue with the way a vast majority of people play the game and that's camping. So the way people used to play the previous games was using the keyboard and pressing the forward key (w) but in this game, you get punished for doing that because of horrific spawns. You get spawned far too close to enemies most of the time depending on the map and it really makes you want to stay still cause they will simply walk around the corner and you can kill them. The servers as well are really laggy and you'll end up rubberbanding so often.
    If these developers ever decide to fix the spawn locations where you spawn away from the enemies regardless of where your team is then I'll consider this a decent game that I'd recommend to people. Otherwise this doesn't capture the magic of why I loved the modern warfare series at all.

    The maps also need more flanking routes in order to eliminate the problem of campers. The maps need to encourage people to get up and move otherwise they should just make more maps like shipment and rust which are just cluster ***** but fun and equal for everyone. Basically, story is ok, multiplayer is not ok at the moment.

    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?!

    - Hitboxbug, try to shoot someone in the elbow. As u will notice, theres no hitmarker and no damage at all.
    - Awfull Soundsettings, shoot right behind u has the same volume as a shoot 500miles aways. U cant here fckn steps, bc your own are double as loud as the enemys. Every Vehicle is so fckn loud your Ears will start bleeding in seconds. Even a fckn drone is so fckn loud u cant here **** when a single one is in the air.
    - bad netcode
    - Skilbasematchmaking who makes u play with tryhards with highping all the time
    - Delay in almost every action (For example, if u wanna use your Fieldupgrades and you press the buttons without waiting 3 seconds, u dont use your fieldupgrade u use your tactical item like a blind grenade, and blind yourself. Fckn nice.)
    - 90% of the Maps are awfull, designed for noobs who can hide in every corner.

    Seems like the Developers never played the Game for a second or are the dmbst casuals on the planet.

    Another stupid and fake game paid by the CIA =) the Game leads to self-deception of the players of the world ( in relation to Russia and the Russian Army) and the substitution of historical facts in the heads of players. Players as artists-should be out of politics. Say to Russophobia...

    I bought MW only for multiplayer, but this impossible to play. Stupid maps, stupid spots, impossible to choose map what I want to play (I find for playing only one map). Shooting is apogee marasmus.

    1. Make illegal war on Iraq and destroy the whole country.
    2. Let terrorist groups emerge from the resulting chaos.
    3. Support terrorist groups in other countries which are not US friendly (Libya, Syria). 4. Blame the Russians. Well, they have nothing to do with this mess in the first place and they are actually fighting those terrorists, but who gives a damn. 5. Kill the evil Russians

    I’m not Russian nor have I any special link to that country. I’m just fed up with the idiotic US propaganda machine.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. You know what's great about the old Modern Warfare series? It's the self mocking attitude lied into it. That's one sign of self confidence. By spread hatred and prejudice the writer of this so-called modern warfare has already earned himself a trophy for political animal, set aside the abuse of old character. Captain Price looks like s**t in this game, I would never forgive Activision for this. Expand

    Don't buy this game on PC, the cutscenes get stuttered (lag), and now I am stuck at hometown quests. No object / environment rendered. Clueless... Its been weeks since the game launched and still there is no solution. Can't continue my campaign game.

    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.
