    Very mixed for me. Gfx are great, efects, music are super but for the most part I cannot even contect to the server. The balance is off, spawn kills are an often thing and a lot of maps are to prone to camping.

    The worst game I've ever played in my life. It always crash, even my system being above the recomended system requirements. The respawn system it's horrible, the game often presents lag and the development team doesn't appear to be concerned fixing it in the future, currently they are more focused on making more money from season passes. This game is a trash, don't buy it.

    Do not waste your money

    The game is so full of bugs and horrible balance that it ruins any fun there is to be had with it. It runs like garbage for how it looks and it looks pretty poor compared to other games.

    The game is so full of bugs and horrible balance that it ruins any fun there is to be had with it. It runs like garbage for how it looks and it looks pretty poor compared to other games. I get significantly less FPS that I will in comparable games, and it feels much less smooth than for the framerates the game reports.

    The UI is probably the most bug ridden element of the game. As with all CODs, there is misinformation presented by the UI. The UI also constantly freezes; most menu clicks incur some brief freeze. The game has crashed more than any other AAA title I've played. Loading maps will sometimes stall out the game and disconnect you from the servers.

    The netcode is a joke and the player animations are jerky and unsmooth. It gets almost unplayably worse if the enemy is far away as the server will drop the tick rate to slideshow level low for even remotely distant enemies.

    The kill streak balance is atrocious, particularly if you play ground war. Ground war is polluted with high power kill streaks almost all the time. I hope you enjoy being constantly randomly killed if you want to play ground war.

    The sound in this game is also poor. There are dropped sounds all the time, and the positioning seems a little off no matter what sound settings and headphones I try.

    The VOIP chat is the most toxic I've encountered, but a fair margin, in any game. Full of people screaming obscenities, racism, and homophobia. In this day and age it would be easy to run the VOIP audio through a transcription AI that could ban people using using hate speech, but that gets to my next point.

    The devs could not care less for feedback from this game, they completely ignore the community. The suggestions and feedback for improvement that is universally lauded rarely makes it into the game. There are stealth nerfs and buffs all the time. It is futile to believe that Infinity Ward is at all invested in making the game better.    … Expand

    Iplayed a lot of FPS games, but this is under the bottom of the frog. I hate myself to purchasing first and watching this reviews after. The most painful money waste ever. This game is so boring and unplayable on PC, and of course unrefundalbe!!!. Impossible to convert CS:GO and R6 settings/muscle memory. I will never buy any Activison or Battle.net related anything, and wont recommend to anybody.

    Infinity ward, you better do the ReReboot, maps are really awful to play as it has tons of obstacles where people can camp, you have 32490348309 windows and doors to look at because maps now are designed by a monkey, thats the call of duty with the most campers i've seen in the whole franchise, what is much to say taking in count how many call of duties have been done.

    the time to kill is dumb, you cant even turn around if anybody shoots you behind, this added to the maps design and how this benefit campers makes a terrible experience for people who want to have a frenetic time running and killing, this is just camperland now, its the first time i see matches which end by time and not by reaching the kills/deads what should make you think on letting rest this franchise at once.

    do not make any other call of duty as people has understood that activision is never gonna change, thanks.    … Expand

    In the campaign Captain Price did not say the iconic line "Bravo six, going dark" therefore the trailer has baited us and hyped me up for this specific moment that was not even in the game. I am very disappointed with Activision's decision.

    You cant leave spawn without having 5 different angles watching you
    Less than half the guns are useless the LMG has no place in this game SMG=Some AR and most LMG
    AND now the audio is terrible Someone could fully sprint at you and you wont hear it
    Someone could shoot your teammate beside you and you wont even notice it
    the coop specops never played it since it wasn't it included with pc version
    Warzone was unnecessary the company is clearly trying to milk our money from us they could've focused on making one game instead of two since they are incompetent
    I got a tons of cons but Im done for now I uninstalled it wish i could get my money back gave it a chance during release when i couldn't play for the first few months due to their incompetent coding which caused crashing but i was patient and hoped they fixed but ultimately I was disappointed LAST COD I EVER BUYING    … Expand

    A terribly forgettable singleplayer story that insults the legacy of the original.

    Online is entertaining but prepare to have the VAST majority of cosmetics locked behind paywalls. Pretty standard for EA, I expected more from Activision. A waste of $60.

The campaign is kinda enjoyable (if we don't think about the russian question and the fact that they basically destroyed the cod4, mw2, mw3 story).
    The graphic, the animation and the models are overall awesome, but unfortunately the gameplay, the maps and the players make this game unplayable. Dark spots everywhere make almost impossible to rush from one side to another of the map, the footsteps are incredibly loud, making easy for campers to spot you and kill you without you even know where the guy was hiding.
    Spawns are the worst I've ever seen in a call of duty game; you die, you spawn giving your back to an enemy; that's it
    Sniper rifles are almost useless in every gamemode except in ground war (the one with the big map, idk the English name I'm sorry). They put the Kar-98 (THE KAR-98) as a dmr; why?
    SMGs are basically the meta of the game or assault rifles without the stock. The Holger lmg, if you manage to make it into the g36 has a slow ads time, not as slow as an lms, but slower than the average AR
    Killstreaks are a joke. The uav and counter uav that you can destroy with 2/3 mags of an assault rifle, the air support helicopter or whatever its name is, that can kill you through armored concrete walls at meters from its cannon, the small "rc tank", that everybody uses on hardcore shipment is simply the apex of human monstrosity. People, 9 times out of 10 don't play for the objective, making the game, that is already frustrating, even more frustrating, looking only for kills, and if you try to conquest a flag you'll end up diyng from some random camper with his mp5
    Dropshot, that can basically save you in a very close 1vs1 is the worst, because people abuse it and if you want to play "normally" (because the big brains behind the game said that they wanted a kinda realistic game) you can't.
    Say what you want, but before saying that I'm a noob, my k/d is 1.2; i know it's not the best k)d ever, but is still something.
    To end, i will not recommended this game, it has positive scores simply because website and companies that should review games know nothing about them. Listen to players reviews, the only right reviews    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Absolutely unbearable filthy propaganda that brainwashes youngsters who plays this **** Interestingly, Activision portray Russians, as the developers of this game actually are themselves. Including this highway, which was actually bombarded by the US Army. The developers are so entangled in their own lies that you cannot understand the plot of the story in the middle of the game. Why do subdivisions not follow orders? why are the main characters suddenly included in the list of terrorists? why does a CIA officer join terrorists and disobey direct orders of american command? etc etc. When the plot is so twisted, it's clear mark that the whole story is construction that has nothing to do with reality and eventually **** Conclusion: my story of loyal COD customer has ended. I will never buy this series again, no 'super graphics' can buy the right to **** my brains.… Expand

    quit bragging about the russions. They are still evil hacking around.
    Game is buggy, last update (end april) made the game useless if you want to play groundwar. Still no selection of the maps you want to play and it is crowded with hackers, campers and **** Would be ok if I ever came through the lobby.

    O jogo some da lista de jogos após um ano, precisa instalar pelo warzone e é obrigatório instalar warzone, eu nunca gostei de battleroyale pra que obrigar instalar isso? Meu MW esta todo quebrado faltando personagens de temporadas em um jogo paytoplay, temporadas plausíveis se o jogo fosse gratis. No multiplayer a diversão é garantida mas gritos e narrativa são repetitivos e enjoativos.

    Well it was not so bad, definitely a good one for a long time, if you do not think about the logic of mass murdering Russian soldiers then the gameplay is very nice, enjoyed it, but please make the story more balanced and do not accuse Russians of what was done by the US. 8/10

    I'm sorry, but company in COD is terrible. Better no, than such a company.
    Now I understand why SONY did not release the game in Russia, аnd I partially support them.
    Next time, sell the Company as DLC. I want to play multiplayer, and not pay for a company like this.

    Bad Russians are stupid cliches. No need for politics in games. People pay for the pleasure of the game, but here the main goal of the game is to impose a dull propaganda.

    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.
