    2. Typical American saviors - check
    3. Female afro-american general of the US Army - check
    4. "Strong and free" woman commander - check

    Now I can say that this is one of the worst CoD games ever

    “grey morale” KEKW Don't get me wrong, I like the game, but the campaign killed it for me. You can say, "It's just a game!". True, but there will be some dumb asses who will be thinking it's all the truth. That is disappointing for me, and a company like Activision shouldn't make plots like that one.

    call of duty modern warfare is everything the audience wanted boots on the ground modern warfare shooter no dumb zombie mod and they also added the survival mode from their previous titel (although it is exclusive on play station which is total bull) but this game is a ton of fun and here is why

    story: you are a young captain price early in his career helping the resistance fight a terrorist group while also fighting off Russians and saving the world

    cons:
    the story is so weak and racist af for blaming again the Russians for everything but i do appreciate that there is one this time missions are meh and some characters just don't make sense basically the writing in this game is total trash

    there aren't as much weapons compared to the previous titels

    the locked off spec ops mode is total bull in my opinion although the devs did say its just 1% of the game i do not find that true at all because the game is separated to three parts story multiplayer and spec ops so its more like a third of the game was just deleted and placed only on one platform

    i know they said there will be no micro transactions what so ever but its activision and of course they will add them so ill place this con just because i know there will be micro transactions in this game at some point

    there arent as much fun maps in this game or any maps at all i mean there are some but not as much as every cod needs

    pros:

    game play is super fun and really brings back that old cod feeling

    the graphics are just beautiful and the animation is smooth as hell

    i didn't encounter even 1 bug or glitch in this game which is a rare thing in 2019

    multiplayer works perfectly and there is no server issues

    the spec ops mode is so much fun especially the survival mode they brought back from mw3 its a real shame only ps4 players can play this mode

    and the ending in the story brought a huge smile to my face because again this game is a prequel so you'll hear some nostalgic names here and there

    in conclusions this game is a solid one despite the racist story it has good multiplayer and (although only on ps4 for now) the awesome spec ops mode and to this games credit it did bring me back to cod and for that this game deserves huge props and that bring me to the final score which is a 7 out of 10 i really do recommend this game play it before they add all the greedy stuff to it lol    … Expand

    The game itself is good, visuals are good (but nothing revolutionary), gameplay mechanics very friendly.
    Negative - the campaign plot. Scenario came out from cold war times, showing "evil Russians" killing innocents and so on.

    Нормальная игра на твёрдую семерочку. Если бы на днях не проходил первый Black Ops, который как по мне просто шедевр, то возможно и выше оценку поставил, но геймплей крайне однообразный, в середине игры уже банально устал играть. Но это колда, тут по сути кроме тира-то нечего было ожидать, так что норм. Пропаганда амеров конечно присутствует, но не вижу ничего в этом преступного. ЕслиНормальная игра на твёрдую семерочку.

But, since Battlefield 5 came out and was extremely dissapointed, I decided to give Modern Warfare a try. I'm very impressed with the game overall! The graphics are top notch, the controls are pretty simple, the sound effects are great as compared to older COD titles that I have played. I also thought the story mode was the best yet. Some moments were disturbing and most likely were created for shock value solely. It's a shame that so many Russian people down voted this because they were offended. Nobody really gives a Sh** that there are inacurracies in "Highway of death" and that this may be anti-Russian propoganda. Nobody thinks all Russians are evil either. I also think its foolish to think that the Russian military is completely squeaky clean in their operations either, like the KGB for example, had some of the dirtiest tactics invented. So I'm just saying Russian people, your being total blind/dumb/hypocrites. Anyway, Online has tons of modes and lots of potential, but, the maps offer almost no cover unless you want to camp, which is what 90% of the online community does. I'm not complaining, but I think it's hilarious that if you walk out in the open for 1 second you instantly die. Definitely fun at moments but can be extremely frustrating when the teams are mismatched talent-wise. The online Co-op is also great but very tough. Don't even try this mode with Rando's, as you will die fairly quick in the level. This mode is best played with friends or a solid crew with headsets/communication.
    Overall, really good game, the story mode was it's strong point. The multiplayer is fun too but also frustrating as the maps favor campers. I think with time it will be more evened out with updates so until then I'll practice at getting better and more familiar with tactics that work in this game.    … Expand

Как итог, очень жаль что видеть что происходит с сюжетом от части к части и отсутствие зомби режима еще больше добавляет огорчения. Как уже в какой раз радует только сетевая игра.    … Expand

If they had clearly positioned Barkov as a traitor to Russia, if they had made the final mission in the form of a joint operation of Russia and Price&Co., then the angles would have been more smoothed. Due to the lack of this certainty, many points are interpreted ambiguously and to a greater extent, not in favor of Russia. I am not an expert and will not undertake to judge who, where and what war crimes committed. I do not know, because propaganda exists on both sides. And the new CoD reminds me of propaganda... The problem of the current situation is that all the negativity created by Russia on the world political scene is done by the hands of the government, and the game is played by ordinary citizens who are far from politics or subject to Russian propaganda, so they are offended. No need to put a sign of equality between the government and the nation. Not all Russians are bad... Campagin 3/10

That would be completely unfair to those who put countless hours into its creation. The game was stable and running like clockwork on launch for me and I've had no crashes and very few bugs, all of them so minor I'd barely pay any attention to them.

    The campaign was much more in line with what I expected from a MODERN Modern Warfare game. It was by no means dumbed down, being downright uncomfortable to watch at times (this is a very good thing coming from the series that brought you the "Press F to Pay Respects" meme). The cast was diverse while not feeling like forced political pandering, and I actually found myself being invested in them much more than I have been in any previous Call of Duty game's characters. The gameplay itself also feels fantastic, with weapons and movement feeling like what call of duty has always been striving for; enough realism for everything to carry some weight but spiced up a bit to look pretty and be more accessible.

    I DO have gripes with this game, hence the 6/10. The issues I do have are with some missing ore janky feature within the game. For instance, (playing on pc) I can go into my options, and pick between controller or Keyboard+mouse. Once I enter matchmaking, I am locked to my choice and the game does its best to put me only with other players using controller. This is fine, It keeps things more balanced. BUT, if not enough players with the same device are found, it will throw in anyone it can find. So multiple times I've been in matches, using a controller, and the other team had 2 players with keyboard and mouse, and Our team was at a disadvantage. This could easily be fixed by allowing, in cases like this, for the input device to be changed mid match.

    There are also several issues with map layouts and spawns. At first I found the maps too large but that was just something to get used to. Now I've noticed that in flag capture modes, most objectives are set up in a chain, with one team spawning at each end. Meaning youll constantly be dieing in the middle of the map, and spawning in the same place, over and over. These matches tend to end exactly how they start, whoever happens to get the middle flag first and holds it wins. This could be fixed by trying to set all flags an equal distance from one another AND each spawn. This also carries over to ground war, accentuating the issue because of how large the maps are.

    My final issue is more of just a personal wish, and this is the only place I feel I could actually give some solid feedback, but Spec Ops NEEDS an offline mode. I dont mean the offline it has, which is basically just round based survival, I mean the actual co op missions but alone or with an ai partner. When I think of spec ops, I think of the single player missions from Modern Warfare 2. If the current spec ops had a single player option, again with one ai teammate just to eat some bullets and revive you, each mission would be something akin to Sniper Elite or even Metro Exodus.

    Over all I've been enjoying myself, but there are some fixes that could take this from a good game to the game every call of duty fan has expected since 2013.    … Expand

    Everything is upside down. Call of Duty has a better solo campaign than multiplayer after many years. We will remember a perfectly scripted war with a dense atmosphere, but we’ll forget about the unbalanced online multiplayer. [Issue#298]

    After a multiplayer-centric episode, the COD fans will be delight with the return of a nervous and strong solo campaign. Modern Warfare is back with old-fashioned gameplay that is more grounded and efficient. The generous amount of content adds some depth to one of the best chapters of the saga to date. Magic!

    Overall Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is a good title that is marred by the expectations that the Modern Warfare name brings with it. The campaign has some really stellar gameplay moments that are brought down by the mediocre plot. Multiplayer was fun but felt a bit like the competition’s output (despite there being no Battlefield release this year) which may be a turn off for some. I don’t think Modern Warfare 2019 has done anything to make me rethink waiting for substantial price drops to play Call of Duty campaigns, because clearly multiplayer is still Activision’s main focus and that’s just not where I get my kicks.
