    This was the COD that I was waiting for when it was announced by Raven Software and surprisingly they did it right! And to be honest, Raven knows how to keep this remastered version of COD4 very true to the actual title and yet, I'm happy that I'm playing the COD I always know and love since the good COD days.

    Finally the cod developers listen to the fans and remastered one of the best call of duty's of all time, its mostly just a graphics upgrade but it runs smoothly and i cannot wait to multiplayer comes out to get the nostalgic feeling of boots on the ground cod but the campaign is an absolute masterpiece i recommend it to anyone and old cod fans will love it.

    This brings back so many memory's. To me this is not only a remaster. They added so much and also kept cool things that everyone loved. I can't wait for my legacy pro edition ;)

    This game is simply amazing, this is the reason i started playing cod, looks amazing, plays amazing. massive thanks to the guys at raven for doing such a good job. The game is much slower than the jet pack cods, more tactical and more thought has to me taken when moving around the maps.

    Modern Warfare Remastered is by far one of the best games of the year. When it comes to remastering a classic Call of Duty game, MWR does it perfectly. Call of Duty 4 was a fantastic game, but the only problems I had with the multiplayer was the hit detection, the lag and connection. All three of those things are fixed in Modern Warfare Remastered.

I think the only reason anyone's going to buy Infinite Warfare this year is because of this game.… Expand

    One of the best call of duty remastered for current gen, what a great idea! The game is unbalanced like how it used to be, plays exactly how the first MW did (still includes all the noob tubing noobs and MLG snipers). Raven did a great remaster of this game and the graphics are immense

    Hope to see more remasters

    There isn't a lot to say about Modern Warfare Remastered. It's simply the same Call of Duty game, except it looks great with current-generation graphics. lighting and textures. Other than that, it's exactly the same game when it was first released. Even the multiplayer is the same.

    Hands down best cod on the ps4, nothing can come close to it. It plays just like the origonal modern warfare and you will have just as much fun with it. It is well worth the money especially because all the new cods suck. I plan on playing this until they remaster MW2. Even then i will come back and play this one because it is such a well made gam.

    A remake of probably the second best Call of Duty game that changed the game for shooters in the video game series. Improved graphics with basically the same multiplayer. I love it, is it 2007 again?

    Its true to the original in the greatest way possible. The graphics are amazing. I cant recommend enough. The grind to unlock the added guns in the game is extremely frustrating, also the fact that the DLC is not included is sus. But overall playing the game takes me back to the days on 360 playing countless hours as a teen. So hats off to them - infinity ward is a company you can trust.Its true to the original in the greatest way possible. The graphics are amazing. I cant recommend enough.

    While I've never really considered myself a "fan" of the "Call of Duty" series, I've gone on record on numerous occasions to say that "Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare" is a fantastic game. Dating back to 2011, a year where I thought shooters were disgustingly overrated and not nearly worth the hype that they've gotten (don't worry, I've warmed up to them recently), I was singing the praisesWhile I've never really considered myself a "fan" of the "Call of Duty" series, I've gone on record on numerous occasions to say that "Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare" is a fantastic game. Dating back to 2011, a year where I thought shooters were disgustingly overrated and not nearly worth the hype that they've gotten (don't worry, I've warmed up to them recently), I was singing the praises for the 4th entry in the ever-so-popular franchise. In a way, it changed how I personally looked at shooters, and it actually showed me that there was certainly quality in the FPS genre. So, when I heard that the game was being remastered for the PlayStation 4, I was ecstatic...well, until I learned that the game was only going to be available if you bought the 2016 title "Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare," which I had already heard was one of the worst titles in the franchise. But then they released it standalone, and I was happy with it!
    "Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare" has aged tremendously: the action is still intense, the shooting mechanics and controls are still excellent, there's plenty of challenge even on the lower difficulties, and I can still see just how much the game impacted a number of today's shooters. On top of that, the story is thrilling (hard to say that about a Call of Duty game), the presentation is excellent, and the "Remastered" facelift only helps the game look even better. Even as realistic games tend to age worse these days, "Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare" still looks amazing by today's standards, and it's still a rip-roaring good time regardless of whether you're playing in single player or multiplayer.
    Unfortunately, while this is mostly a review of the base game, "Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare," I do want to knock a point off of this "Remastered" edition. It would have been a 10 under most circumstances, but I'm dropping a point off on account of the many bad business practices involving the remaster, most notably the inclusion of microtransactions. In certain cases, I may be willing to just let it slide, since microtransactions are not exactly mandatory, but given that this is a remaster of a game that's almost 12 years old (9 years at the time of release), I think it's unacceptable that Activision, even while giving the fans what they want, is attempting to nickel and dime consumers in a remaster. Can we please keep these practices outside of remasters? It's not faithful to the original, and frankly, it's insulting.
    Rant aside, however, Activision has definitely crafted a wonderful remaster of what is very easily the best game in the long-running "Call of Duty" franchise, and regardless of whether you experience the original version or the remastered edition (preferably the original if you don't want to support the business tactics), "Modern Warfare" still stands tall as a truly amazing shooter.

    Man I buy almost every game every year and I was really surprised at how great this game holds up...Like beaten it before and I had more fun this time than with Titanfall, Infinite, or BF 1's single player campaigns.

Still a too fast for me to play too long without me wanting to punch a child....but man I like it Sooo much better than the last 5 COD's. And its not that I hate future warfare stuff cause I don't....well maybe I do? I love the fact that I can here if someone is using an AK47 or an M16...just like in world at war you can tell what people are using just by the sound. The simple loadouts are also much better for me...I'm tired of constantly changing my loadout cause I unlocked something....I think overwatch reminding me that playing a GOOD game can be more fun than unlocking a million things in an OK game. Anywho...wish they sold it separate just like everyone else because I want to sell infinite after I beat it but I want to keep this game forever.… Expand

    It was about time that this game got a re-released.
    I'm extremely happy with how it turned out, the game is as solid as it was all those years ago.
    Smashed it to a platinum over a couple of days.

    Sin duda una gran remasterizacion que funciona muy bien con unas texturas bastante mejoradas y una jugabilidad excelente por lo menos en playstation 4. Y muy contento con los nuevos extras como mas camuflajes.
    La unica pega que le podria dar es que algunos spots que habían en la versión original no están en este remastered.

    Even after nine years and the countless sequels that have come after it, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered shows how good the original game was. The campaign is short but so packed with memorable moments that few would mind some of the residual issues. If you can deal with the addition of cosmetics to appease players who have only come to the series recently, you'll be happy with how the original tenets of the multiplayer portion, from movement to gun balance and map layout, have remained unchanged. It really is too bad that this game won't be divorced from more expensive versions of Infinite Warfare for the foreseeable future, but if you're already committed to spend the extra money, you won't be disappointed.
