    Even now, Modern Warfare is pushing boundaries, just in newer ways. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered sets a standard that shames other so-called ‘remastered’ titles.

    It´s been almost 10 years from its release, and Modern Warfare campaign still feels great, multiplayer design works well and visual improvement is enough to compete against modern shooters.

    Call of Duty Modern Warfare Remastered’s campaign might feel outdated by today’s standards, but its multiplayer remains as addictive and fun as ever.

    Modern Warfare Remastered on the PS4 is one of the best remasters in recent memory. It's a game worth having - especially if we played the original only when it came out or (what's even worse) we haven't at all. And when the multiplayer issues are resolved and the game becomes a stand-alone product, it'll be great.

    A lot of love and care went into Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered, and I hope other developers (including some of Activision's own studios, I'm looking at you Marvel Ultimate Alliance and Prototype) take note.

    The game itself remains unchanged and while an excellent game in it’s day, COD: MWR often shows its true age with animations looking just a little clunky by today’s standards and a few small missteps that were present in the original which could have, and should have been amended in this new and improved version.

    I was a little harsh on this game back in my original review so I'm glad this remastered version exists so that I can set things right.I was a little harsh on this game back in my original review so I'm glad this remastered version exists so that I can set things right.

    Before I can get into the game itself though, I have to praise Raven Software's work on the graphics. They really rolled back the years on this now 12 year old title. It looks like not even a single day has passed since it was first released back in 2007, allowing players to revisit CoD 4 with the same visual fidelity they cling to in their memories. Even the more recently released Black Ops 4 doesn't look this good.

    Back in the day I made the mistake of saying the game doesn't have any good setpieces. A simply incorrect statement. The campaign is held in high regard as one of the best in the entire franchise and for good reason. Each level is memorable in its own way, often providing multiple thrilling encounters. The grounded, realistic approach this takes over the more adrenaline fueled madness of the later CoD titles makes it standout from its brethren in a way that almost defies time. Level design and A.I. are definitely showing their age, but the route the series has taken since this originally came out has allowed CoD 4's single-player offering to feel just as fresh as ever, albeit for very different reasons.

    Multiplayer on the other hand hasn't aged as well as I thought it would. It's pretty tough going back to a stiffer, more restrictive form of movement and aiming after years of the more responsive, twitch-based fluidity that has defined CoD since then. It's still very much worth playing though and not just for the nostalgia. The boots on the ground action is appealing in the same way as it was in 2017's WWII. Although the inclusion of that game's microtransactions and loot box mechanics are an unfortunate new addition.

    Modern Warfare Remastered is a great way to revisit an iconic title that paved the way for one of the biggest franchises in gaming. A lot of work was done to ensure CoD 4 doesn't feel as old as it could have. Although there's plenty about this game that was simply timeless to begin with. Not even Activision's attempts to exploit people's love for the game with money grubbing tactics can keep this decorated veteran from earning top marks on the battlefield once again.    … Expand

My biggest complaint, however, is that enemies took too many shots to bring down, and I didn’t like that there are parts in which your enemies will spawn endlessly until you reach the objective. Those two aspects reminded me I was playing a video game—especially if you miss your head shots, because you’ll be standing there shooting some guy in the thigh six or seven times before he finally goes down. Your shots feel light-weight and wimpy.… Expand
