    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare puts the franchise back where it needs to be. You get a wonderful campaign, team-oriented spec ops, and a variety of multiplayer options that cater to those who love large and small scale warfare.

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is a great new start for the franchise, thanks to terrific visuals, cool new game modes and the best campaign since Black Ops. Unfortunately Spec Ops are a massive let down.

    Modern Warfare should have received a new Call of Duty subhead given just how different its avenues of play are. Not every one of Infinity Ward’s ideas works, but a few are successful enough that I could see them as series staples. Modern Warfare’s accomplishments may not be as pronounced as Black Ops 4’s (Blackout being one of them), but it still delivers a hell of a multiplayer experience. Gunfight alone is worth the price of admission.

    The proposal is solid without being infallible, far from it, but enough to make the opus a legitimate spiritual son of CoD 4.

    Modern Warfare makes you love the franchise all over again. With a great campaign and an excellent multiplayer to boot this is the most fun you'll have with a shooter all year. It's a shame the Spec Ops mode doesn't live up to the hype.

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has an outstanding campaign, and the multiplayer will have you itching to play just one more game over, and over, and over again.

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare steps it up in the pure game-feel department; its guns, its movement, its action: it all feels the best it's ever been. Even with thrilling new modes like Gunfight and the Counter-Strike-like Cyber Attack, the maps and Spec Ops end up disappointing. The campaign itself remains a return to form for the staple Call of Duty campaign, for better or worse. Modern Warfare as a whole ends up feeling like it has the foundation for something better than it is right now, and in the months to come, it very well might be. But for now, it's just merely almost there.

    I've gotten so much enjoyment out of this game. The campaign is one of the best story experiences I've ever had in a game. The writing wasI've gotten so much enjoyment out of this game. The campaign is one of the best story experiences I've ever had in a game. The writing was superb, but the mechanics, art, and underlying systems are really what bring the game to life. All of your actions feel like they carry a real weight and meaning, as do those of the excellent NPCs in the game. The way character methodically move when clearing a house room to room, to clutching the ground during death is all spectacular.

    The multiplayer gave me such a sense of nostalgia. After the beta I went back and played MW 1-3 and while good feel very dated, but not to any fault of it's own. 2019 Modern Warfare is the original series like it is in my brain. You can really tell a lot of thought went into every little aspect. I was playing a game of Ground War on the big city map and was just started walking around this large interior. I know it sounds foolish, but the commitment to model water fountains and tedious office spaces for something most players won't even notice is commendable. Maps like Azhir Cave and Gun Runner are as good as anything MW2 offered.

    I can't recommend this game enough if you liked the original Modern Warfare trilogy. It has a slightly more methodical pace, but it's a welcome change in a genre that's only been increasing speed. Don't get me wrong, those games are great in their own way. I played both BLoPs 3 and 4 extensively and really enjoyed them, but Modern Warfare offers a nice grounded approach. Not quite as Jamster as past games, while still providing plenty of opportunities to customize your character. I only hope this trend continues.    … Expand

    Infinity Ward did really well with this one, the combat system is really well-made, a new engine that changed everything. Despite some flaws like Survival exclusive to PS4. The introductions of the new game modes, bring variety to the Multiplayer. The gun customization are insane (You can even convert your M4A1 to a deadly 9mm Submachine Gun!) help customize your play style.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. These people 'reviewing' this game are either retarded or have never played modern warfare before. This one is a pre sequal to the original CoD 4 Modern Warfare which had two sequals on it. Out of the trilogy the entire plot was Russia versus America. MW1 was based on Russian mercanaries nit the government just a man with the will to wage war, then MW2 and MW3 were based on another russian man with the will to wage war and he succeeded and made america look bad, and in MW2 the American general was shown to be a traitor and a very bad guy.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. •La campańa es horrible por ser muy plana, corta y aburrida. En cuanto a la jugabilidad: el juego esta diseńado para campear y para jugar con gente de tu mismo nivel, los accesorios de las armas te quitan movilidad y tiempo para apuntar cuando deberia ser lo contrario y ni hablar de las claymores lo peor que han hecho.
    •En cuanto al contenido: esta plagado de microtransacciones, básicamente compras un juego donde tienes que pagar por el contenido, cuando en otros juegos lo podías conseguir gran parte del contenido jugando sin pagar un céntimo. Básicamente el 95% del contenido es de pago atraves de lotes de pago que cuestan 20€ o más cada lote (más caro que el pase de batalla)
    •En conclusion pagamos por un juego a 70€ para luego jugar contra gente que es muy campera y tienes que pagar por contenido que viene cada temporada y con una campańa deplorable.
